National Geographic's Top Pick: Shaoxing, 10°C Cooler Than Suzhou and Hangzhou for Summer Escapes

🍃 Shaoxing is truly an "underrated gem of Jiangnan"! While other places only have ancient towns, here you'll find an ancient city, water towns, mountains, rivers, and huangjiu (yellow wine) culture—all in one! Plus, free admission to the Xu Wei Art Museum, where the black-and-white architecture offers ultra-photogenic backdrops! 🐾 Why Choose Dongyueli Hotel (Shaoxing Lu Xun's Hometown Cangqiao Straight Street Branch): Stay in the heart of Shaoxing—just a 10-minute walk to Lu Xun's Former Residence, 800m to Zhou Enlai's Former Residence, with all major attractions within easy reach! 🌉 The hotel faces the main route for Wupeng boats on the city moat—bring your own kayak for a splash, enjoy the cool breeze, and capture endless scenic shots! 🍵 Complimentary welcome fruit + cold-brew tea afternoon set. The lobby even offers free fishing—perfect for quiet family time. 😸 A lobby cat awaits your cuddles, adding a cozy touch—ideal for families! 🚲 Three free bikes to explore: 300m to Cangqiao Straight Street for local delicacies, 200m to Fushan Park to see King Goujian's palace ruins. 📸 Rooms overlook the viral Baozhu Bridge—skip the crowds and snap Insta-worthy shots! 👉 Click below to book this rare Shaoxing gem! 👨👩👧👦 Summer must-do: "Water Carnival"! By day, hit the slides at Oriental Land Water Park; by night, join the EDM party at Mirror Lake Dream Water World. Glide on a Wupeng boat under moat light displays, then pedal free bikes back for huangjiu popsicles on Cangqiao Street. Cap the night with Baozhu Bridge views from your room—pure magic! 🌿 Walk in Lu Xun’s footsteps: Pluck a leaf at Baicao Garden, touch vintage desks at Sanwei Study, savor fennel beans with warm huangjiu as locals spin tales of old Jiangnan—even the breeze smells literary. 💦 East Lake: Shaoxing’s "Peach Blossom Spring"! Mirror-like waters reflect stone bridges; drift in a Wupeng boat through arches, where oars and birdsong blend—like stepping into a Tang poem. Who wouldn’t fall for Shaoxing?
