🚶♂️【One-Day Walking Route】
🕘09:00 Lu Xun's Hometown Scenic Area
First, go to the visitor center to exchange tickets (free! Book in advance at "Shaoxing Cultural Tourism Group"). The bluestone paths with white walls and black tiles instantly transport you back to the scenes in the textbooks. PS. Closed on Mondays, don’t go for nothing!
🕙10:30 Sanwei Study
The "morning" character carved on the upper right corner of Lu Xun’s desk really exists! (You need to tiptoe to see it 😂) It’s recommended to rent an audio guide for 15 RMB each, otherwise you’ll just be skimming through old houses.
🕛12:00 Xianheng Hotel
Must order Kong Yiji’s favorite fennel beans + yellow wine milk tea! Located at 179 Lu Xun Middle Road, about 50 RMB per person to eat your fill. Highly recommend the fried stinky tofu with sweet bean sauce, crispy outside and tender inside, absolutely amazing.
🕑14:00 Baicao Garden
Much smaller than expected! But when you see the description of the "lush vegetable beds" near the soapberry tree, your DNA really stirs~ Now the garden has been turned into a four-season flower exhibition, with a sea of rapeseed flowers in spring.

⚠️【Walking Tips】
① Scenic area combo tickets are free but require reservation! On-site may limit visitors
② Wear comfortable shoes! The stone paths are hard on feet and slippery
③ For empty shots, it’s best to rush in at 8 AM when it opens; after 10 AM there are many tour groups
④ Bring a copy of "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk" for stamping, very ceremonial (available at souvenir shops)
For accommodation, "Kaiyuan Yiju" is recommended, located inside the scenic area. The ancient town is super atmospheric when lit up at night~ It’s very convenient, about 20 minutes by taxi from Shaoxing North Station, and can be reached directly by Hangzhou Metro!
Lu Xun's Hometown is not just a tourist spot, but a "living textbook." Stroll along the bluestone paths, touch the scenes from the textbooks, and feel the charm of Shaoxing as depicted by Lu Xun!
