Compared with Suzhou and Hangzhou, I love Shaoxing, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, more!

Compared to the bustling Hangzhou and Suzhou, Shaoxing is the Jiangnan water town in my mind. It has a soft light filter and even the wind blows slowly.

3 days 2 nights route:
▫️Day 1
Cangqiao Street lights up at night|Stinky tofu with Magnolia tofu
▫️Day 2
Wang Yangming's Former Residence→Nishi-koji Road→Lanting
(Nishikoji is less crowded! And very beautiful!)
Watching the Qushui Liushang at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain, the words and sentences in the textbook suddenly became three-dimensional.
▫️Day 3
Lu Xun's hometown→Chenyuan→Bazi Bridge→The hometown of the calligrapher
From Baicao Garden to Chai Toufeng, waiting at the tea stall for the black-sailed boat to pass by in the long scroll of ink painting.
🎞️Beautiful photo booths:
√ Moss-covered stone steps on West Path
You can hold an oil-paper umbrella and circle around to take photos
√ Swing on the stream
Remember to arrive at 7am! The morning mist gives off a feeling of misty Jiangnan.
√ Lanting Goose Pond
Checking in the calligraphy gauze curtain + swaying bamboo shadows is also very neo-Chinese style.

Tips:
The second day's trip was much less crowded. Compared to popular attractions, 📍West Xiaolu P2-3 is where locals live. There are delicious Shaoxing cuisine restaurants at both ends, full of the atmosphere of life. You must visit when you come to Shaoxing~
