Zhuji | Leisurely stroll in the hometown of Xi Shi and experience the ancient Yue culture of a thousand years
Visiting Zhuji in Shaoxing, one must take a look at the hometown of Xi Shi. I particularly enjoy strolling along the wooden walkway by the Puyang River, hearing the sound of my footsteps on the wooden planks, breathing in the fresh oxygen, and feeling quite comfortable in the warm sunshine of summer.
Xi Shi, the foremost of the ancient Four Beauties of China, was born in Huan Sha Village, south of Zhuji city. The well-known story of 'sinking fish' originates from Xi Shi washing silk.
Xi Shi's hometown is located in the central district of Zhuji city, featuring attractions such as the Statue of the Lady Washing Silk, the Gallery of Famous Women in Chinese History, Fan Li Temple, Yongshou Temple, Xi Shi Temple, and Golden Rooster Mountain. At night or during festivals, there are also large-scale performances to enjoy.

5️⃣Yongshou Temple
The highest building in the scenic area is Yongshou Temple, also known as Taishan Temple, located on Golden Rooster Mountain. You need to climb a long staircase to the top to enter the temple. Inside the temple, there are the East Emperor Hall, the Hall of the Western Three Saints, the Sutra Hall, and the monks' dormitory.
Xi Shi's hometown shows two different sides during the day and at night, each with its own charm. If you come at night, there is a large-scale original immersive performance show 'Dream of Xi Shi' that makes a stunning appearance in the Zheng Family Ancestral Hall. Through various legends of Xi Shi, it showcases the charm of women. If you visit during holidays, there will be a water-based live performance 'Dream of Hometown' on the Lotus Pond, offering an encounter with a cross-time trend of national style.
Exceeding expectations, the hotel is in the scenic area, the scenery is beautiful, whether it is day or night, it is a beautiful scene. There is a "Dream Seeking Xishi" performance in the scenic area at night, the hotel has a light show at night, the children like it very much, will go again next time!
Hidden in the south of Zhuji City, in front of Luoshan Mountain and on the bank of Nanxi Sand. A pool of lotus in summer solstice, a pavilion in winter. White walls and tiles, low hedges. The shade of trees is dense, and the river breeze can cover the summer day. During the slow tour, you can enjoy the ancient scenery and think about the ancient times, and you can steal the floating life for half a day.
Xishi's hometown does not need tickets, Xishi Temple needs a door. The pontoon bridge in the middle. Due to the rising water level, the service cannot be provided and the detour needs to be taken. The overall feeling is okay, small and exquisite. Because there is this discount for super travelers, the price is not bad.
非常很好,下次还会再来玩
The light show is very beautiful at night. There is no time during the day. I will go to see it next time. It is said that the day is a little more artistic. It can be done in 15 minutes at night. I look forward to the next meeting with the famous
Exceeded expectations! Whether the storyline, dance beauty or laser projection, water curtain light show are extremely professional, the meaning is still not enough!
It's a big name, that's it
The performance and dance are great, but the chair next to it will be blocked by the pillars, and there will be people entering the show at the beginning, which is a bit confusing!
