An Underrated Historical Gem: Shaoxing

They say "Above is Suzhou and Hangzhou, below is paradise." But compared to these eternally popular cities, low-key Shaoxing is the true essence of Jiangnan in my heart🍃 White walls, black tiles, cobblestone paths, small bridges over flowing water, and boats drifting by🚣🏻 Shaoxing fulfills all my fantasies of "Jiangnan" Its scenery and culture are nothing short of breathtaking. Shanghai and Hangzhou folks, don’t miss out! 💦 This Shaoxing hotel is a steal! Prime location overlooking the city moat, with stunning Wupeng boat views—bring your own kayak for extra fun! 📖 Just 1.3km from Lu Xun’s Former Residence and 800m from Zhou Enlai’s Former Residence—perfect for exploring red tourism sites with kids! 🐈 Adorable clingy cats in the lobby, free cold-brewed tea + fruit, complimentary fishing and bike rentals, and only 300m to Cangqiao Straight Street for food! 🌉 Rare balcony photo spot of Baozhu Bridge, 200m to Fushan Park with Yue King relics nearby—so cool! 👉 Click below to book! Latecomers will have to wait~ 🎈 Shaoxing’s charm is unforgettable! Listen to boatmen’s tales on Wupeng boats, hunt for "mulberry trees" in Baicao Garden—fun and educational for families! 🌊 Summer water fun at the city moat! Ride Wupeng boats or kayak—just step out of the hotel for a refreshing escape! 🚲 Rent bikes to explore Cangqiao Straight Street, sip chilled fermented rice soup—perfect for weekend getaways from Shanghai or Hangzhou! My top recommendations: 1⃣️ Lu Xun’s Former Residence 🆓 Need I say more? A must-visit in Shaoxing! 2⃣️ East Lake (¥50) Compact but stunning—filming site for *Journey to the West*’s "Kingdom of Women." Take a Wupeng boat past cliffs! 3⃣️ Anchang Ancient Town 🆓 The most authentic ancient town, alive with locals and charming bridges linking both shores. 4⃣️ Qingteng Study 🆓 Birthplace of Xu Wei, with dreamy banana leaves—next to Xu Wei Art Museum. 5⃣️ Orchid Pavilion (¥70) Home to the Goose Pond, "Floating Wine Cups on Winding Stream," and imperial steles. Lotus season is magical! 6⃣️ Wang Xizhi’s Former Residence 🆓 Instagrammable bridge, ink pond, and photo walls galore. 7⃣️ Bazi Bridge 🆓 Unique bridge shape, white-and-black riverside houses, and occasional red blossoms. 8⃣️ Shen Garden (Daytime ¥40) Near Lu Xun’s spot, but scenery is average.
