Thought Suzhou was the real Jiangnan until I took my kids to Shaoxing...
Want your kids to experience the slow life of Jiangnan water towns?
Shaoxing is definitely a treasure for family trips!
Compared to Suzhou, I prefer Shaoxing's lively atmosphere and literary charm~
Spend a day accompanying your kids from the textbook into reality!
Must-visit family spots📸
1️⃣ Lu Xun's Hometown
Take your kids to revisit "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study" from the textbook, see the locust trees and mud walls described by Lu Xun, and immerse in a literary childhood experience!
2️⃣ Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy
Visit Wang Xizhi's former residence, check in at the calligraphy wall, and tell your kids the story of "Ink Pool Practice," making cultural enlightenment easy and fun~
3️⃣ East Lake
Ride a black-awning boat through thousand-year-old cliffs, kids excitedly point out Tao Gong Cave, the lake water is clear as a mirror, a super pleasant family boating experience!
4️⃣ Bazi Bridge
An original ecological water town with almost no commercial feel, walk with your kids on the bluestone paths, see small bridges, flowing water, and riverside homes, perfect for charming photos!
5️⃣ Cangqiao Straight Street
Stroll and snack along the water alleys, grab stinky tofu and yellow wine popsicles, kids happily hopping all the way!
Family Food Recommendations🍱
✅ Yellow Wine Milk Tea
A slightly intoxicating sweet aroma that kids can also taste, the milk tea cup is super cute for photos!

Popsicles infused with the aroma of wine, kids can't stop munching~
✅ Shaoxing Three Delicacies
Light and delicious soup dishes, rich in nutrition, kids drink two bowls in a row!
