💥Help! This underrated Jiangnan small town is so beautiful I want to settle down here immediately!! Who would have thought😭! Shaoxing actually hides so many incredible places to visit!! Small bridges and flowing water, bluestone paths, black-awning boats drifting by leisurely—every snapshot looks like stepping into an ink painting🎨. This is the true Jiangnan white moonlight!! 📍 Transportation Guide🚄: High-speed trains go directly to Shaoxing North Station, super convenient! For friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, it’s just a 1-2 hour drive🚗! Once there, rent a small electric scooter🛵 to weave through the ancient town alleys—that’s the right way to explore Shaoxing! 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation✨: Strongly suggest staying near Lu Xun’s Former Residence! Open your window to Jiangnan scenery of white walls and black tiles🌿, just a few steps downstairs to check in at major attractions, and at night you can enjoy late-night snacks on Cangqian Straight Street🍜—pure happiness overload! 📸 Must-Visit Attractions Collection (with a complete photo guide!) ❶ Lu Xun’s Former Residence📚: The Hundred Herb Garden and Sanwei Study Room from textbooks come to life! Put on a plain qipao or hanfu, sit at the old school desk, and instantly shoot vintage-style photos! Don’t forget to have a bowl of fennel beans with yellow wine at Xianheng Hotel🍶 to experience the joy of Kong Yiji~ ❷ Calligraphy Sage’s Former Residence🖌️: The treasure street where Wang Xizhi’s home is located! Be sure to take a ride on a black-awning boat🚣‍♀️, watch the boatman paddle slowly under stone bridges, and even a casual video has an amazing atmosphere! Order a cup of tea at a riverside teahouse🍵 and spend the afternoon daydreaming—it’s super healing~ ❸ Angsang Lake🌊: The stunning and lesser-known “Little Erhai of Shaoxing”! A waterway ancient path extends in the middle of the blue lake, perfect at dusk🌇! The sunset dyes the water orange, and any pose will blow up your social feed! ❹ Anchang Ancient Town🏮: A lively old street hung with sausages and marinated duck! The moment you enter the alley, you’re surrounded by aroma🥩. Buy a skewer of sticky rice lotus root to eat while walking, then take photos with the vintage-style sauce wall📷—a perfect Jiangnan street life scene! ❺ Lanting Pavilion🎋: The birthplace of the “Preface to the Orchid Pavilion”! Deep in the bamboo forest lies the beautiful scene of winding water and floating cups🎐. Put on hanfu and carry a lantern—photos here will make you a legend! ⏰ 2 Days 1 Night Perfect Itinerary Day 1️⃣: Lu Xun’s Former Residence → Sanwei Study Room → Cangqian Straight Street for snacks → Calligraphy Sage’s Former Residence for a black-awning boat ride → Night shots at Bazi Bridge🌃 Day 2️⃣: Watch sunrise at Angsang Lake → Admire cliff stones at East Lake → Experience literary elegance at Lanting Pavilion → Stock up on sauces at Anchang Ancient Town to take home🍯 ⚠️ Super Practical Tips to Avoid Trouble ▪️ Black-awning boats require queuing on holidays! Recommend visiting early morning or evening off-peak times~🚢 ▪️ Must try Shaoxing yellow wine milk tea! Fragrant and intoxicating~🥤 ▪️ Wear light-colored clothes for better photos! Bring an oil-paper umbrella as a prop to boost the vibe~☔️ ▪️ You can bargain for sauces in Anchang Ancient Town!
