The low-key Shaoxing is the true Jiangnan in my heart

🍶 The romance of Shaoxing carries a hint of wine! Sweet yellow wine popsicles, drunken chicken noodles with a fragrant wine aroma, even the air feels slightly tipsy~ 🛶 The black-awning boat is not just a "check-in prop"! The boat captain wears a felt hat and rows the oar, ducking under stone bridges, drifting slowly as if wandering through time~ 🐱 Even the hotel has little joys! The cat in the lobby will rub against you asking for snacks, the balcony offers shots of the popular bridge, staying here feels like crashing at a friend's place~ If you're interested from Shanghai or Hangzhou, hurry up! 🌊 This hotel in Shaoxing has an amazing location! Center stage view of the city moat, black-awning boats pass right by the door, you can bring your own kayak to play in the water, so refreshing~ 📚 1.3 km to Lu Xun's Former Residence, 800 m to Zhou Enlai's Former Residence, 300 m to Cangqiao Straight Street, super convenient for strolling and eating~ 🍵 Check-in gifts include cold brew tea + fruit, afternoon tea in the lobby, free fishing, and clingy little cats to keep you company, very healing~ 🏞️ 200 m to Fushan Park to see the Yue King’s Palace, rare balcony shots of Baozhu Bridge, free rental of up to 3 bicycles~ 👉 Click below to book! This hotel is super popular this summer~ 🚗 Shaoxing has so much to offer! Take a black-awning boat to see the riverside homes, eat stinky tofu with yellow wine popsicles on Cangqiao Straight Street, families with kids can learn Lu Xun’s “early carving” (don’t actually carve! )~ 🌞 Summer is perfect for cooling off here! Just a 2-hour drive from Shanghai or Hangzhou, stay in Shaoxing hotels, visit former residences by day, and play in the city moat water in the evening, so comfortable~ 🖋️ At Lu Xun’s Former Residence, the desk and the stone well in Baicao Garden, tell your kids the stories from their textbooks while exploring, a rewarding experience~ 📌📌📌 Shaoxing travel guide, avoid pitfalls and mistakes, for those planning to visit Shaoxing, highly recommend saving this. Xixiaolu Historic District (Free) This is the filming location of the movie "Summer of Xixiao River," very original and natural, you can see the life of the original residents, very few tourists, very quiet and pleasant ✅ Lanting (🎫70) Experience the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" by Wang Xizhi, with towering mountains, lush bamboo forests, and winding streams… full of poetic beauty. ✅ Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy (Free) The hometown of Wang Xizhi and Cai Yuanpei, rich in cultural atmosphere, calligraphy can be seen everywhere on the walls. ✅ Lu Xun’s Former Residence (Free with reservation) From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study, read the master's books and see his hometown; this spot is a bit crowded, so it’s recommended to go right when it opens early in the morning for fewer people.
