📍Introduction Wuxie Scenic Area is hidden in the folds of the mountains in Zhuji, Shaoxing. It is famous for the waterfall spectacle of "one water, five cascades." After spring rains, the mist creates a fairyland atmosphere; in summer, the waterfalls are at their most magnificent during the high water period; autumn brings golden red maples and ginkgo leaves; winter is tranquil like a Zen realm. 🚩Address Wuxie Town, Zhuji City, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province 🚗Transportation Self-driving: Departing from Hangzhou/Shanghai, navigate to "Wuxie National Forest Park." Exit Zhuji on the Hangjinqu Expressway, about 1.5-3 hours drive. Parking fee is 10 RMB/day (20 RMB on holidays). Public transport: Take bus No. 57 from Zhuji Railway Station/Passenger Transport Center directly to the South Gate (about 40 minutes, fare 5 RMB). After arriving at Zhuji High-Speed Rail Station, take a taxi to the scenic area (about 80 RMB, 40 minutes). ⚠️ Inside the park, you need to take a boat + electric cart: the boat ride across Wuxie Lake is included in the ticket, electric cart one-way costs 5 RMB to the core area. 🗺️Travel Guide 1-day essential route (suitable for first-time visitors) Morning: Take a painted boat from the South Gate to tour the lake → electric cart to Wuxie Zen Temple (a Tang Dynasty ancient temple, listen to Zen under the thousand-year-old ginkgo) → 5-minute walk to the Fifth Cascade (thunderous and powerful, perfect photo spot) → go upstream to the First Cascade (about 2 hours in total). Afternoon: Light hike in Xiyuan Canyon (streams, bamboo forest, wild macaques appear) → overlook the panorama from Ziwei Ridge → return. 2-day in-depth route (unlock hidden experiences) Day 1: Waterfall cluster + Zen temple retreat (book vegetarian meal experience), stay overnight in the park to listen to waterfalls and stargaze✨. Day 2: Stream tracing in Xiyuan → kayaking on Wuxie Lake → intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving workshop (Red Maple Forest Workshop). 🔥 Secret tips: Enter the temple before 6 AM to enjoy the tranquility of "Zen and waterfall resonance" alone. When the abandoned archway in Xiyuan is covered with maple leaves, you can easily shoot ancient-style masterpieces. ⚠️Travel tips Best seasons: 💦 Summer (June-August): Waterfalls have the most water, perfect for water play and cooling off. 🍁 Late autumn (mid-November): Golden ginkgo, red maples covering the hills, peak photography season. Gear: Non-slip sports shoes (Dongyuan stone steps are steep), quick-dry clothes (water mist in waterfall area), light backpack. Off-peak tips: Enter before 8 AM or after 3 PM to avoid tour groups; waterfalls are more spectacular after rain when the sun comes out. Ticket tips: Hangzhou/Shaoxing residents free admission (20 RMB boat ticket required), buy tickets online in advance to save 10 RMB. 🍜Food recommendations Xishi Tofu: Tender tofu with dried shrimp and shiitake mushrooms, fresh and rich soup, must order at "Old Zhuji" restaurant at the park entrance. Ciwudamian (hand-pulled noodles): Chewy handmade noodles topped with dried bamboo shoots and river shrimp, recommended at "Yu Ji Damian" in the city. Zen temple vegetarian meal: 20 RMB/serving, sweet osmanthus rice cake, reservation required. Mountain wild flavors: Local chicken pot and Wuxie creek fish at Xieyuan farmhouse, about 50 RMB per person for authentic Jiangnan taste. 🏡Accommodation recommendations Wake up to waterfalls: Wuxie Resort Cabins: Located in the core area, fall asleep to the sound of waterfalls, standard room 300 RMB/night.

Xishang Swing: Songjiadian Village, Keqiao, bamboo raft swings for stylish photos (same as actor Greg Hsu!). Final thoughts: The beauty of Wuxie lies in the changing seasonal landscape🌿 and the Zen mindset of "slow travel." To avoid crowds, enjoy the secret realm of the ancient Xiyuan trail; for culture lovers, a single incense stick’s time at the thousand-year-old Zen temple is eternity. Take this guide and be a Jiangnan hermit for a day!

😘 Who would've thought! I spent such a blissful day off in Shaoxing - ultimate relaxation vibes~ ❤ Woke up naturally in the morning and leisurely strolled to Shanxia Lake. Visited the World Freshwater Pearl Museum and got to pry open clams for pearls myself - totally addictive! Holding a wet clam, prying it open with a knife - "Wow!" A few softly glowing pearls rolled out, warm and smooth in my palm 💜 Had them set into a necklace on the spot - this unique joy was totally worth it! ✌ Basking in the happiness of new jewelry, wandered around Xishi's Hometown. Few crowds, walking on the bluestone paths felt so peaceful. White walls with black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, zoning out by Huansha River watching willows brush the water's surface. The old ancestral hall's corridors played with light and shadows, the breeze carrying whispers of bygone eras 📸 Every random shot captured perfect atmosphere. ❤ Afternoon laziness hit hard, so I dove into Yunmanwu. This hidden gem by tea mountains! Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the lush greenery like paintings 🍃 Sinking into plush sofas,...time? What's that! 🤭 On a whim, detoured to Shijing Reservoir. Wow! Like stumbling into the Wizard of Oz! Water so clear like glass, reflecting straight metasequoia forests 🌳 Aimlessly strolling along the shore, leaves rustling in the wind, the air filled with freedom - my heart instantly calmed. 🤭 Got to play with clay at the Porcelain Origin Cultural Town! Wheel throwing was so fun! The clay kept wriggling disobediently on the wheel until the master potter lent a hand - hey, it slowly became a little bowl! The tactile sensation of muddy fingers was strangely therapeutic~ Waiting for it to be fired and shipped home - the perfect warm souvenir of this trip ✨ 💖 The grand finale had to be Dongshan Daguan Hotel's feast. After tasting so many gourmet dishes, this was my first Dongshan Banquet experience: 🦀 Drunken June Yellow Crab Meat Cup: Huadiao wine aroma mixed with crab umami shot straight to the brain! One bite and sweetness filled my heart~ 🐟 Zhishi Blue Bream: Tender like tofu, swimming in broth so delicious it could make your eyebrows fall off! 😘 Garlic Stinky Tofu Baked Crayfish: Smelling it goes "Wow!", eating it goes "OMG!" Garlic coating springy shrimp meat, stinky tofu's magical fermentation - so fragrant I couldn't stop chopsticking! 🙃 On the way back, cool pearls around my neck, an adorably ugly clay cup in my bag, crab sweetness still lingering on my tongue... This day had it all - clam-opening thrills, hometown tranquility, reservoir freshness, childhood joy of playing with clay, all gently concluded by an amazing feast. 💡 Little reminders: 🚗 Self-driving is most convenient as attractions are somewhat spread out - stop and go as you please. 🕒 Don't rush: We left at 10am, returned at 9pm - perfect pacing.

Opening a clam is like unboxing a labubu blind box, purple pearls instantly pay off!

Stayed at a hotel with great aesthetics in Zhuji 1️⃣ Came to Zhuji to buy pearls again, randomly picked a hotel, and it was surprisingly good! Every detail was aesthetically pleasing. 2️⃣ The hotel is on a mountain, with a winding path leading up to it, and the hotel is the only destination on the mountain. The hotel has a black and white Chinese garden style, but the interior is very minimalist and elegant. Even better, there is an art gallery inside. 3️⃣ The Hong Art Museum is almost integrated with the hotel. Currently, the works of two oil painting artists are on display, both of which are very interesting, some are still life observations of life, and there are landscape paintings of the changing seasons. 4️⃣ Every room is a mountain view room with a balcony. Outside the window is a large area of green, and you wake up in the morning to the sound of birds. The breakfast place is also very unique, and even each seat looks very different, with vases full of artistic atmosphere on the table. Everyone will be served a bowl of freshly cooked pickled vegetable and bamboo shoot noodle dumplings. 5️⃣ Walking around the hotel is like a scene at every step, very relaxing. There is also a super large library and study room. Highly recommended! Yunmanwu Art Hotel Zhuji
