Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I have a deeper affection for this understated dreamland of Jiangnan. The first time I visited Shaoxing, I experienced a different kind of Jiangnan with its green tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and slow-moving black-awning boats. It doesn't have the fame of Hangzhou or Suzhou, but it has more cultural history and the essence of everyday life, preserving a quiet and methodical daily routine. I truly feel this place is more suitable for leisure and relaxation. Recommended Itinerary Day1: Cangqiao Straight Street, Lu Xun's Hometown, Bazi Bridge, the Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, and Lanting Day2: East Lake, Angsan Lake, Anchang Ancient Town, and then return trip Here are a few check-in spots, it's recommended to save them Lu Xun's Hometown: ①From textbooks to reality, read the master's books, visit the master's hometown, and experience the Jiangnan described in the master's writings. ❷Angsan Lake: Walking on this delicate ancient path, enjoying the breeze and a chat, is very relaxing~ ❸Sage of Calligraphy's Straight Street: The cultural atmosphere is very strong, with calligraphy elements visible everywhere on the walls. Walking along the river, there are beautiful scenes everywhere. ④Lanting Scenic Area: The beautiful secret realm described by Wang Xizhi, with the goose pond, bamboo forest, and ancient pavilions, fully displays the splendor of Chinese aesthetics! ❺Anchang Ancient Town: A free ancient town full of life, with streets full of soy sauce ducks, cured sausages, and printed cakes, giving a feeling of the New Year. Photo Time: Be sure to check the weather forecast before going out! The effect on cloudy days is very poor, and getting up early can help avoid the crowds. Accommodation Recommendation: Most of the scenic spots in Shaoxing are close together, so staying near Lu Xun's Hometown is convenient for transportation and dining. Transportation: You can take the high-speed train directly to Shaoxing North Station, or the train to Shaoxing Station. If you're driving from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Shanghai, it's about 1h-2.5h.
