📜 Shaoxing is a living textbook
The "Zao" character in Lu Xun's hometown still remains, the "Chaitou Feng" stele in Shen Garden is full of deep affection, walking on the streets feels like reciting lessons.
🌉 Bridges all have their quirks
The arch of Baozhu Bridge looks like a crescent moon, the forked path of Bazi Bridge is dizzying, and you have to duck when the black-awning boat passes through the bridge hole.
🍵 Slow life is truly slow
People in the old teahouse chat while cracking sunflower seeds, fishing rods by the river are left unattended, and time itself seems to slow down.
If you're interested in Shanghai or Hangzhou nearby, hurry up!
