Ke Ting Park is located on Yunhe Road in Keqiao District, Shaoxing, and is a county-level cultural heritage protection unit. Less than 150 years after Eastern Han Dynasty's Cai Yong took refuge in Ke Ting, Gao Qian Ting was renamed to Ke Ting. Standing on the bridge, looking far into the distance, on one side is the winding ancient canal, on the other is the newly rising high-rises, one can't help but be deeply moved. Ancient cities and relics are our traditional culture that we can never forget, they are the Chinese treasures that we must always protect. Talented scholars and beautiful ladies, the gentle breeze of the ancient city, are the everlasting memories of Shaoxing.

After experiencing the hustle and bustle of the day, come and feel the twinkling stars at night, only then can you truly say you've been here. The night view of Keqiao ancient town is too enticing, with the light and shadows floating as if wandering in the Milky Way~ Tracing back to ancient and modern times, there is real life and smoke here It's the smoke rising from the eaves; it's the boats and painted barges gliding over the gentle waters; it's the cries of the street vendors at the corners... Leaning against the riverside arch bridge, walking slowly on the bluestone lanes, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the city, fully enjoy the endless night of this ancient town.

🌈 There are many ancient water towns in Shaoxing, and Anchang Ancient Town is uniquely special. It is not highly commercialized and retains the original appearance of the ancient town.

Besides Shaoxing stinky tofu, Shaoxing rice wine, and other specialties, there are also soy-sauce duck, quail, handmade sausages, dried bamboo shoots, and dried pickled vegetables with local flavors😋.

【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.

During a long lifetime, you must visit Jiangnan at least once to experience the charm of small bridges over flowing streams and the quaint homes that line them! Visiting during the Spring Festival, you can already feel the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, with lanterns and festive lights, and vendors selling traditional egg rolls and pastries. Many people gather by the river to boil tea over a fire, enjoying the warmth of family togetherness, epitomizing the beauty of life! Some stores have become famous local spots in Shaoxing, where you have to take a number and wait in a long line to get a taste! I was lucky enough to get a number and try the top-ranked Shaoxing dish at 'Xunbao Ji.' The ambiance is antique and blends well with the ancient town, and the food is very palatable. The most commendable aspect is that strolling through the ancient town is incredibly comfortable. Those who prefer not to walk much won't feel tired after a complete tour, and those who enjoy walking can go around a couple more times, as there's no rush to leave Keqiao Ancient Town Scenic Area

Located in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Keqiao Ancient Town has a long history and was once a key town along the ancient canal in eastern Zhejiang. The Ke River flows through the town's streets and rivers, and the town is named after the bridge, which is also named after the water. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the types of businesses in the ancient town of Keqiao have been relatively complete, with over a hundred shops. Among the many types of shops in Keqiao Ancient Town, the most famous is the dyeing workshop. Keqiao has always been particularly good at dyeing and textile development, among which Dachang Dyeing Workshop is the largest and most famous one in Keqiao. Its traditional dyeing uses plant dyes like gardenia, and only later began to add some modern mineral chemical dyes. The dyed cloth will be starched and bleached by the river, and then hung up to dry on the high racks on the shore. The dyed cloth fluttering in the wind has also become a beautiful scenery in Keqiao Ancient Town over time. Keqiao dried tofu is also known as 'vegetarian ham', it is tough but not hard, has a tea aroma, and has a long aftertaste, so Shaoxing people say 'fresh jiji' (meaning particularly fresh) when eating dried tofu. In the past, there were many such 'water workshops' in Keqiao Ancient Town, and people passing through Keqiao would get off the boat or car to buy some to take home for tasting. Don't look at it as just a small piece of dried tofu, its production process is very complex, and each step is strict and scientific. The old masters who make Keqiao dried tofu are skilled and meticulous, wrapping the taste of the water town into the small dried tofu, and also passing on the craftsmanship spirit contained in the traditional food making skills.
