🌿 As the black-awning boat glides through thousand-year-old waterways, Lu Xun's Shaoxing unfolds as an encounter between bluestone slabs and the fragrance of yellow rice wine.
📍 Lu Xun Native Place
From Hundred Plant Garden to Three-Flavor Study, touch the childhood memories from your textbooks. At the entrance of Xianheng Hotel, Kong Yiji's fennel-flavored beans still emit their enticing aroma.
📍 Shen Garden
Lu You and Tang Wan's "Phoenix Hairpin" poem—longing carved in Song Dynasty verses. Visit Shen Garden at night to watch a Yue Opera performance and hear Jiangnan's most mournful love story.
📍 East Lake
Cliff reflections on water, extraordinary ponds for boating. Shaoxing's "landscape bonsai" lets you ride a black-awning boat through Taogong Cave, as if entering a secret realm of immortals.
📍 Anchang Ancient Town
Cured sausages and marinated ducks hang from eaves, while old craftsmen have practiced their sugar-pulling art for centuries. In this water town, even the breeze carries the scent of sauce.
🌟 Guazhu Lake Park—Shaoxing's "Little West Lake" is a painting in all seasons! Spring brings cherry blossom rain, summer offers emerald boat rides, autumn displays reed "snow," and winter reflects ink-wash skies. Stroll along the lakeside to encounter Jiangnan's gentleness and poetry.
🐟 Freshwater Fish Museum—Discover the vibrant charm of the "land of fish and rice"! Thousands of freshwater creatures swim here, with interactive feeding and educational corridors to lead children on a wonderful aquatic journey!
🎢 Oriental Water Park—A harvester of screams and laughter! The Cool Play Kingdom's roller coasters soar skyward, the Water Kingdom offers refreshing waves, and the Land Park features adorable animal interactions... fun for the whole family all day long!
🙏 Tianguan Maitreya Statue—Thousand-year-old Zen ambiance at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain! The 38-meter golden Maitreya Buddha welcomes visitors from all directions. Climb up to pray for blessings and enjoy panoramic views of Shaoxing city through the swirling clouds—when the heart is calm, blessings naturally arrive.
🍶 In the afternoon, sip yellow rice wine milk tea on Cangqiao Straight Street and get lost in Shaoxing's tenderness—the stories here are more worth savoring than aged Huadiao wine.
📸 Come to Shaoxing, where one hand picks flowers by the lake while the other embraces the moon in celebration!
