Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I love this low-key dreamlike Jiangnan even more

The Jiangnan with character must be seen in Shaoxing😉
If you haven't been to Shaoxing, maybe you can't really say you've been to Jiangnan🚣‍♀️
This city, known as the "museum without walls,"
was also rated by National Geographic as the most popular Jiangnan water town✨

📍【Shaoxing Must-Visit Attractions Collection】
1️⃣ Shaoxing Lanting
🌿 The stunning secret realm of "Lanting Xu" by Wang Xizhi
"Lush forests and tall bamboo, winding streams with floating wine cups"—this is the place!
100% photo-worthy in Hanfu💯
Tip: Avoid weekends when it's crowded for better photos～

2️⃣ Angsang Lake
💦 A sheltered secret spot on an ancient Ming Dynasty waterway
A great off-the-beaten-path escape!
Egrets spreading wings, rippling water🐦
Highly recommend an evening stroll to watch the sunset—super romantic!🌅

3️⃣ Lu Xun's Hometown
📖 From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Sanwei Study Room in textbooks
Be sure to see the "early" character on Lu Xun's desk!
Step into the writer's childhood life～👨‍🏫

4️⃣ Calligraphy Sage's Hometown
✍️ Wang Xizhi's hometown is so artistic
The calligraphy and painting wall by Jifang Bridge is a must-visit!
The perfect place for wearing a qipao～👘

Ride the gently rocking small boat🚣‍♀️
Cool breeze flowing through the cliffs!
Top choice for summer heat relief!🌊
