The temperature is slightly lower, averaging around 5–10°C, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so remember to bring warm clothes🧥. There are relatively few tourists, so you can enjoy the charm of this ancient city more leisurely. Must-see attractions: 1. Lu Xun's Hometown😃: Here, you can visit Baicao Garden and Sanwei Study, experience the childhood fun described by Mr. Lu Xun, and relive those memories from your textbooks. 2. Shen Garden🥀: Famous for the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan, the poetry steles, pavilions, and towers in the garden all tell of a thousand years of deep love. 3. East Lake⛰️: Take a black awning boat through the unique stone landscape, with deep lake water and steep cliffs, as if you are in a fairyland. 4. Lanting🎐: A holy place for calligraphy lovers, where you can imagine the scene of literati and scholars reciting poems and painting, and feel the profoundness of calligraphy culture. 5. Keyan Scenic Area🌟: The cloud bone stone is amazing, the Keyan Buddha is solemn, and the beautiful Jianhu Lake is picturesque. 6. Anchang Ancient Town🏮: Sausages hang all over the ancient streets, with a fragrant aroma. Traditional Jiangnan water town architecture looks more simple and quiet in the warm winter sun. 7. Dayu Mausoleum🌳: A holy place to commemorate Dayu, with ancient cypress trees towering into the sky, a solemn atmosphere, and a chance to learn about Dayu's great achievements in water control. Food specialties: 😋 Shaoxing cuisine is not to be missed! Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; braised pork with preserved vegetables is fatty but not greasy, with a rich aroma of preserved vegetables; yellow wine popsicles have a mellow aroma of yellow wine, sweet but not intoxicating; and fennel beans are soft and glutinous, with a fragrant taste that gets better the more you chew. Accommodation suggestions: If you want to stay near the attractions, there are many characteristic homestays around Lu Xun's Hometown, which are convenient for travel and allow you to experience the lively atmosphere at any time. If you prefer a quieter environment, you can choose hotels near East Lake or Dayu Mausoleum, with beautiful surroundings and fresh air.
