2️⃣ Xiancha Lake
A very characteristic ancient towpath with a hundred-year history of water conservancy project, it was the pathway for ancient people to travel and unload goods, standing on the ancient towpath and feeling the lake breeze, admiring the beautiful scenery, and taking a beautiful photo is amazing!

One of the four great ancient towns of Shaoxing, and also the most lively ancient town in Zhejiang, the town is known for its cured flavors, smoked fish, quail, and soy sauce duck, which are must-tries here, along with many special sticky snacks and intangible cultural heritage wine-brewed buns, which are really soft and delicious!

It is recommended to check in. Although the East Lake Park is not big, you can see the mountains, see the water, and have a special boating. The masters are all paddled with their feet. In this picturesque place, it looks particularly leisurely!
If you are tired from the aesthetics of the ancient town of Shaoxing, you must come to the East Lake. The scenery is beautiful and it is another Jiangnan style. The awning boat must be sitting, which feels better than visiting on the shore, and the visual experience is completely different.
You can go in and sit down on the boat, you can have the feeling of Enshi, the overall is not bad, the ticket is a bit expensive, here is also the location of the daughter country of the west travel, the scenic area, a lot of greening, the air is also very good.
It is very convenient to buy a joint ticket, just brush your ID card or QR code. We went to other scenic spots except Daliling. Lanting is great. The East Lake is great, but the ticket needs to be bought separately. Shenyuan is bigger than expected and can go shopping. I don't like Yangming's hometown, and there is nothing to take pictures.
East Lake, located in Yundong Road, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, from the Han Dynasty, stone workers have cut stones in Qingshi Mountain, forming dangerous cliffs and deep pools. The 45th generation of Sun Tao Yuanming, a famous accountant in the late Qing Dynasty, built a dike around the lake to form East Lake. After more than 100 years of decoration, the mountains, water, stone, cave, bridge, dike, boat, flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions of the East Lake have become a Jiangnan garden that is integrated with Rongxiu, insurance, Xiong and Qi. The East Lake belongs to the management of the East Lake Scenic Area Management Office in Shaoxing City.
