【9:00-11:00】✨Bazi Bridge✨
💫 A hidden paradise! An untouched watertown living postcard
📍Address: Baziqiao Straight Street, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing
🚣‍♂️ Best visited early morning when crowds are thin – the moment a black-canopied boat glides beneath the bridge is pure cinematic magic
📸 Must-capture shots:
1️⃣ Panoramic view of Bazi Bridge: Shoot from the east bank to capture the bridge and its reflection (telephoto recommended)

💥 A living museum! Shaoxing as depicted in "Kong Yiji" comes alive here
🍜 Food highlights:
✔️ Tongxinlou Pan-Fried Buns: Crispy-bottomed perfection with an audible crunch

❗️Avoid: Overly artificial-flavored yellow wine milk tea in tourist areas
