The next stop, Shaoxing, is the "true Jiangnan" described by Su Shi...

Shaoxing is the "true Jiangnan" in Su Shi's words......🍃

"With your words 'spring is not late,' I have arrived at the true Jiangnan"💕
This perfect phrase actually comes from Su Shi's "Evening Scene of Spring River by Huichong"!
I always thought Suzhou was synonymous with Jiangnan,
until I met Shaoxing... it is the real Jiangnan hidden in poetry and paintings!

I want to recommend this treasure city to everyone,
but I'm afraid too many people will find out 😢
No matter! Let me take you on a virtual tour of my secret beautiful Shaoxing～
