Lu Town, Shaoxing|Step into the Inky World of Lu Xun's Literature

✨🏯 Nestled within Shaoxing's Keyan Scenic Area lies Lu Town—a three-dimensional ancient town born from the pages of Lu Xun's works! This isn't a historical relic but a living literary stage more vibrant than any museum. Cobblestone paths, black-canopied boats, and the aroma of yellow wine fill the air, even the breeze carries the ink-scented echoes of "A Madman's Diary". ▫️ 📍Recommended Itinerary ✔️ Ascend Kuiwen Pavilion: Enjoy panoramic views of Jianhu Lake from the top floor—white walls and black tiles unfold beneath you like a scroll of ink painting. Wear Hanfu for stunning photos! ✔️ Lu Town Shexi Theater: Don't miss the 1:30 PM "Lu Town Shexi Opera" performance! Combining naked-eye 3D effects with live acting, it weaves "A Madman's Diary", "The New Year's Sacrifice", and "The True Story of Ah Q" into an epic spectacle! ✔️ Xianheng Hotel Experience: Channel Kong Yiji by counting out nine coins for a plate of fennel beans, paired with yellow wine milk tea—instantly transporting you back to textbook scenes! ✔️ Night Tour of Lu Town: After 6 PM, lanterns illuminate the waterways as black-canopied boats glide past. The Shexi stage lights dance with water reflections, creating magical ambiance✨ ▫️ 🌸Photography Guide ✅ Cobblestone Alleys: Wear qipao/neo-Chinese outfits with oil-paper umbrellas as props—perfect lighting for vintage shots ✅ Black-Canopied Boat Prow: Capture backlit silhouettes against sparkling water for storytelling frames ✅ Shexi Stage: Freeze actors' sleeve-fluttering movements for dynamic energy ✅ Kuiwen Pavilion Corridors: Use wide-angle for architectural depth—pure cinematic grandeur ▫️ ⚠️Practical Tips 🚇Transport: Hangzhou Metro Line 5 to Guniangqiao → Transfer to Shaoxing Metro Line 1 to Qingfangcheng → Direct shuttle to Keyan Scenic Area ⏰Opening Hours: 24/7 (shops close gradually after 6 PM) 🎫Tickets: Lu Town FREE!
