Take my advice! Visiting Keqiao in Shaoxing during the off-season is a sure win!

【Jiangnan Secret Realm·Keqiao Exploration Tour】Immerse yourself in Shaoxing culture, enjoying the off-season tranquility in Keqiao! 🎁Shaoxing, a living historical scroll without boundaries, always intoxicates and lingers in one's mind. This time, I chose to depart from the bustling Hangzhou, just a 40-minute drive away, and arrived at the remarkable Keqiao. Visiting in the off-season, I fully enjoyed the blend of tranquility and culture. The journey is planned as follows: 🌈Day1: Visit Longhua Temple, immersed in its profound cultural heritage; Ascend to the Douluo Heaven Palace, pay homage to the solemn Buddha statues, and purify the soul; don't forget to try the vegetarian meals there, fresh and elegant, leaving an unforgettable impression. As night falls, step into Luzhen, as if traveling through the world depicted by Mr. Lu Xun, encountering characters like 'Xianglin's Wife' and 'Kong Yiji', watching the local operas by the water, and as the lights change, the once obscure works of Lu Xun come vividly to life. 🌈Day2: Move to Jianhu Lake, where the rural charm is filled with a strong artistic vibe, with seas of flowers and lakes intertwined, coffee shops and boutiques scattered around. Savor a cup of aromatic coffee, then sip a bit of Kuaiji Mountain yellow wine, with endless charm. Next, the Ke Rock Scenic Area's fantastic rock walls and formations await your exploration, along with the poetic experience of boating on Jianhu Lake, admiring the lake and mountain scenery, or enjoying a leisurely drink on Hulu Drunken Island as the sun sets. 🍲For the food segment, I chose the local-flavored 'Treasure Hunt' restaurant, allowing my taste buds to appreciate the authentic taste of Shaoxing. For accommodation, I stayed at the 'Lu Family Inn' at the entrance of Luzhen, with its new Chinese-style decor paired with white walls and black tiles, offering great value for money. Strolling through Luzhen at night is more convenient, and staying with school-aged children allows them to experience 'Touring China with Textbooks' firsthand. 💡Practical Tips: When visiting the Douluo Heaven Scenic Area in Daxianglin, remember to taste the vegetarian meals at Longhua Temple; The twilight hours in Luzhen are especially charming, and during the Spring Festival, you can also enjoy traditional local operas; When playing in Jianhu Lake, you can also visit Guazhu Lake along the way and enjoy the fun of boat rides; If time allows, don't miss the night photography of Keqiao ancient town, the picturesque scenery will ensure every frame in your camera is stunningly beautiful.
