Shaoxing｜A hidden gem scenic area perfect for family trips

Take your family to explore Keyan with this easy and fun route! First, head straight to the core area to see the "Tiangong Grand Buddha." The stone steps in front of the Buddha are gentle, making it effortless for the elderly to walk. When sunlight falls, the light and shadows on the Buddha create a warm family photo opportunity 📸. Next to it, the "Qiyun Shigu" has an explanation board—tell the kids the legend of this thousand-year-old strange rock to learn something new while having fun.

Then walk to "Jingshui Bay," where the shallow water area is safe and cool. Kids can splash and play freely, while parents can rest on the stone benches by the shore. Occasionally spotting dragonflies skimming the water is especially soothing. Afterward, take a painted boat to Jian Lake. Choose a lower deck seat for more stability. Passing by the "Ancient Fiber Road," listen to the boatman share historical stories. Chatting with the family while enjoying the lake view is very pleasant.

When you arrive at Luzhen, be sure to catch the Luzhen Shexi (community theater) performance if you have the chance. Although the ticket price is not cheap, it is truly worth it, with outstanding lighting and stage effects 👍.
