[2025 Shaoxing Attraction] Travel Guide for Sanwei Study (Updated Apr)

This year's love, meet Shaoxing When I talked about the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River in the past, a vague poetic picture came to my mind. It was not until I came across Shaoxing that the scenery of blue bricks, black tiles and slowly rocking oars boats gave Jiangnan a clear image. It is no exaggeration to say that as of this year, it has become my favorite tourist city and I will never get tired of it no matter how many times I go there. 🌳First impression: A city from a book If you are unfamiliar with the name Shaoxing, then "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" must be well-known. Stepping into Shaoxing is like stepping into a textbook, and the words I recited as a child suddenly come alive. The old buildings on the street and the cobblestone roads in the alleys all hide the old times. It seems as if you can see the young Lu Xun running and playing here, exploring the world that belongs to him. 🍃Two days and one night, unlock the customs of Shaoxing Day 1: 📍West Path: In the early morning, strolling along West Path, it is so quiet that you can hear your own footsteps. The houses on both sides of the river are reflected in the water. Occasionally, early risers wash clothes, and the ripples sway gently, just like ink smudges. 📍Lu Xun's hometown: This is a reunion with childhood memories. The furnishings in the former residence and the plants in the Baicao Garden have all been preserved in their original form. Standing in front of Sanwei Bookstore, it seems as if you can hear the teacher's earnest teachings. That desk carries the aspirations of so many students. 📍Cangqian Street: After visiting Lu Xun’s hometown, walk for a few minutes to Cangqian Street. There are a wide variety of street snacks, the "exotic fragrance" of stinky tofu, and the sweetness of cream-fried pork. You can eat and walk around and experience the daily life of Shaoxing people. 📍Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy: In the afternoon, step into the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy and be instantly enveloped by the tenderness of Jiangnan. Sit on a rowboat, travel through the narrow water lanes, brush your fingers across the cool river water, look up and see the ancient bridges and continuous roofs, as if you have traveled through thousands of years and enjoyed this world with Wang Xizhi. 📍Bazi Bridge: In the evening, the afterglow shines on the Bazi Bridge, with its staggered steps and quaint bridge body. Black-sailed boats slowly pass by under the bridge, and curling smoke rises from people's homes in the distance. There is nothing better than a peaceful life here. Day 2: 📍East Lake: After breakfast, head to East Lake, where the unique landscape is amazing. There are many steep cliffs and the lake is emerald green. It feels like entering a painting when you take a boat. The boatman's Shaoxing tune echoes in the valley, and your body and mind are intoxicated. 📍Angsang Lake: Then come to Angsang Lake and step onto the slender ancient road. The azure blue water spreads out under your feet, and the breeze blows on your face, bringing the moist scent of the lake water. All your worries are left behind. 📍Lanting: Step into Lanting in the afternoon, where you will see the green bamboos and winding streams, and you can seem to see the elegant scene of scholars drinking and writing poems. Sitting on the stone bench by the stream, the sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves, as if one can be tainted with some of the talent of the ancients. 📍Anchang Ancient Town: Arrived at Anchang Ancient Town in the evening, sausages and pickled ducks were hung all over the streets, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of pickles. Find a small shop by the river, order a pot of rice wine with some fennel beans, watch the lights in the ancient town gradually light up, and the fireworks of the world are the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people. 📷Check-in at this sacred place, capturing the beauty of Shaoxing 👉Lu Xun's hometown: It is a cultural landmark of Shaoxing. Traveling through it, capturing the old times with the camera, and walking from textbook illustrations into reality, every step is full of emotion. 👉The hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy: using water as ink and ancient bridges as pens, it outlines the gentleness of Jiangnan. Here, taking photos in Hanfu will instantly immerse you in the ancient charm, and every frame will be a beautiful painting. 👉Angsang Lake: Take a stroll along the ancient trail and capture the shimmering waves on the lake and the water birds flying in the distance, with the blue sky and white clouds in the background. Every photo is a blockbuster that can dominate the circle of friends. 👉Anchang Ancient Town: The ancient town is most charming at night, with red lanterns reflected on the river. Take photos of the combination of light and shadow in the water, ancient bridges, and sausages, and the rich flavor of the New Year will hit you. 👉Lanting: Focus on the rays of sunlight shining through the lush forests and bamboos, or the quaint water trough with winding streams flowing, and the photos you take will be poetic and show the beauty of tranquility. 🏠Accommodation tips: I highly recommend living near Lu Xun's hometown, it's definitely a "prime location". Not only is it convenient to get to various attractions, but there are also many delicious foods nearby and dense transportation routes. After a day of fun, you can quickly return to the "nest" to replenish your energy and seamlessly connect to the next exciting journey. 🚄Transportation Guide: Foreign tourists can take the high-speed rail directly to Shaoxing North Station, and then take the bus or taxi at the station to reach the core area of ​​the city in a short time. It is even more convenient for friends in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to drive themselves. It only takes one or two hours to drive and you can start this Jiangnan dream with just one step on the accelerator. Shaoxing, a city with stories, beautiful scenery and fireworks, will become a favorite once you encounter it. It is worth your repeated visits to explore its surprises hidden in every corner.

Who says middle age is just about wolfberries in thermoses? Let's explore a "yellow wine revival" in Jiangnan - spend your day learning to write like Lu Xun, sneak out at night with dad to steal pickle duck recipes, and convince mom to dance on a traditional boat. Two days and one night to make your middle-aged soul more flavorful than Kong Yiji's fennel beans! Energy Station 1: Soak Your Anxiety in Yellow Wine 🍶 The stone slabs of Lu Xun's hometown are preserved with literary fragrance. Lounging on the long bench at Xianxing Restaurant, sipping Taizhao wine and munching stinky tofu, you suddenly understand why Kong Yiji was obsessed with four ways to write "hui" - this isn't drinking, it's a spiritual massage! In the afternoon, sneak into Jiemin Library to teach kids how to print swear words using movable type, then get chased by the administrator for three blocks. Turn a corner to bump into Wang Yangming's statue, whose twitching smile seems to say: "Achieving wisdom? Let's achieve happiness first!" Energy Station 2: Three Generations Share the Literary Mystery Box 🖋️ In Shaoxing, what's most inspiring isn't the pickled duck, but dad's suddenly awakened calligraphy soul. The whole family takes on the Lanting Pavilion stream-side poetry challenge - mom copies the Lanting Preface into a recipe book, while the little one draws Peppa Pig on stones with ink. Late at night, we sneak into Anchang Ancient Town's sauce yard, where three hundred pickle vats look like a martial arts gathering under moonlight. Dad suddenly pulls out a notebook to frantically write down recipes - turns out he was an apprentice here when young! Who knew eating soy sauce ice cream could uncover family history! Energy Station 3: Weekend Rescue Boat for Office Workers 🚤 Racing on high-speed rail after Friday work? Keep this "48-hour literary revival guide": 🌙 Day 1 19:00 Rush to Cangqiao Street, cry over spicy stinky tofu and yellow wine popsicles 22:00 Collapse in Lu Xun's hometown guesthouse memorizing "From Baicao Garden to Three Flavors Study" - work messages? Pretend you've time-traveled and lost connection! ☀️ Day 2 7:00 Charge to East Lake to be a boat captain, realize "career is like rowing against the current" when bamboo pole hits rock wall 14:00 Lounge in Fushan Park feeding squirrels, where pine cones fall more frequently than client requirement changes 20:00 Squeeze into the Calligraphy Saint's hometown arena, writing characters more dramatic than year-end reports ⚠️ Warning from experience: Local mosquitoes are sharper than Zhou Shuren! Wear mosquito patches like armor - the fennel beans from Xianxing Restaurant work better than sachets as repellent. Don't copy me trying to film wuxia scenes on the Ancient Towpath, or you'll twist your ankle into the reed marsh and be mistaken for a fisherman! Grinning at ink-stained fingers: Who says middle-aged awakening needs meditation? Being a "struggling writer" for 48 hours in Shaoxing turns all that KPI-squeezed sourness into the mellow fragrance of pickle vats in sunshine! 🦆🖌️

Sanwei Study Room is a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is also where Lu Xun studied from the age of 12 to 17. It is located at No. 11 Duchangfangkou. The teacher, Shou Jingwu (also known as Jinghu), was an upright, simple, and erudite person. His character and academic spirit left an unforgettable impression on Lu Xun. Shou Jingwu taught here for 60 years, and the architecture, interior furnishings, and surrounding environment have basically maintained their original appearance. The Shou Family House is the residence of Lu Xun's teacher, Mr. Shou Jingwu. Shou Jingwu (1849–1930), whose name was Huaijian and courtesy name was Jingwu, was a learned scholar. He was upright, honest, and serious about teaching. He despised fame and fortune, and after passing the imperial examination, he never took the exam again, devoting his life to teaching. He once said to Lu Xun, "Zhou Shuren, I hope you continue to work hard." Lu Xun praised him as "the most upright, simple, and erudite person in the city" (see Lu Xun's "From Hundred Grass Garden to Sanwei Study Room" in "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk"). The Shou Family House was purchased by Shou Jingwu's grandfather, Fenglang, during the Jiaqing period, with a total construction area of 795 square meters. It faces a small river, with a stone bridge for access, and there is a bamboo garden to the west. The entire building faces the Zhou Family House across the river, and the famous Sanwei Study Room is located in the east wing of the Shou Family House.

In the afternoon, I went to the #Lanting practice room of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, located on the shade of #Kuaiji Mountain. The "Lanting Preface" he wrote is known as the best running script in the world. The 324-word preface serves as a footnote to the vastness of the universe, expresses joy for meeting a bosom friend and being able to pursue one's interests, laments the tacit understanding of the feelings and excitement of the past and present, and sings praises for the brevity of life and the impermanence of death and death. The emotions twist and turn, with ups and downs, will be passed down through the ages. The strong literary and artistic atmosphere left a deep impression on me. #Water Village Style Gallery #Jiangnan Water Village #Literary Tour #Shaoxing #Literary Traveler #100 Ways to Travel

Shaoxing Day Trip🍃 🚄: Taizhou Station → Shaoxing North Station 🏨: Home Inn (Cangqiao Zhijie Branch) 1⃣️Arrived a night early, left my luggage and went to Cangqiao Zhijie. The old street was very popular, and there were too many people at the famous stinky tofu stall, so I just bought from a random stall (the tofu was very crispy, but we put too much sauce and it became too salty). I also bought a rice wine popsicle, which had a rice wine aroma but not too strong, just the way I like it~ 2⃣️Had a late-night snack at Wang's Steamed Dumplings. I ordered dried vegetable steamed dumplings (the dried vegetables were quite fragrant, but a bit greasy after eating too many) and pan-fried tofu buns (the skin was a bit thick, but the filling was quite fragrant). Many people also ordered lamb bones. 3⃣️The next day, I slept in until I woke up naturally and set off for Lu Xun's Former Residence. I was hot from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore~ Following the crowd, I went to the must-visit spot: take a photo with Mr. Lu Xun and light a cigarette🚬 (if you can wake up early, it's recommended to come early, as there will be fewer people and it will be cooler). 4⃣️For lunch, I ate at a local treasure restaurant recommended by locals: Private Fengwei. I ordered dried vegetable ribs, Shaoxing Three Treasures (super large portion, very delicious), and oil-fried prawns (the most recommended, so fragrant). 5⃣️In the afternoon, I visited the Eight Character Bridge, the Former Residence of the Sage of Calligraphy, and Cai Yuanpei's Former Residence (there are many other attractions such as Shenyuan, Shaoxing Museum, and Wang Yangming's Former Residence, but we didn't have time to visit them, so you can plan your own itinerary). In general, the route is a big loop, and the distance between each attraction is not far. It's recommended to wait until the weather is cooler to experience the Jiangnan described by Lu Xun~

I learned about this place through Lu Xun's literary works in my elementary school Chinese textbook. This time, I finally came to Shaoxing Baicaotang, the background of Lu Xun's literary works. It feels like traveling back to Lu Xun's childhood, experiencing his growth environment. Shaoxing not only has a rich cultural heritage but also unique ancient town charm. Walking on the roads paved with bluestone slabs, you can feel the strong atmosphere of everyday life. In addition, you can enjoy local delicacies, as the local environment nurtures its people, each with its own unique characteristics, such as the black awning boats and stove-boiled tea, allowing you to truly feel the charm of the Jiangnan water town.
