Take retro-style photos next to the Kong Yiji statue at the entrance. - Noon: Savor the Local Flavors of Cangqiao Straight Street - Recommended street stalls: 5 yuan for a serving of Shaoxing stinky tofu (crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, dipped in sweet bean sauce), 8 yuan for yellow wine milk tea – unlock the "adult's happy drink." - Afternoon: Explore a Thousand-Year-Old Love Story at Chen Garden - A 10-minute walk to Chen Garden.

Try Gao Laotai's Creamy Popsicles (5 yuan each) and Yellow Wine Popsicles (8 yuan). While you're there, stop by Huijingxuan for a Yellow Wine Cocktail. Day 2: A Gathering of Elegant Landscapes, Calligraphy, and Bonsai - Morning: A traditional boat trip on East Lake to see the "Number One Bonsai in the World" - Direct bus to East Lake. 85 RMB includes entrance fee and a traditional boat ride.

The morning light is perfect for photos as there are fewer people. - Noon: Farmhouse restaurant outside East Lake Scenic Area Must-try dishes: Steamed white fish (fresh from Jianhu Lake, no fishy smell) and braised pork with preserved mustard greens (a soul dish of Shaoxing, glossy and fragrant).

III. Food & Accommodation & Avoidance Guide Must-try food list - Classic dishes: Braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, Shaoxing three delicacies, Xi Shi tofu, pickled chicken, drunken shrimp - Snacks: Shaoxing stinky tofu, Shaoxing wine milk tea, Shaoxing wine popsicles, creamy mini buns, fermented rice steamed buns - Restaurant recommendations: Xunbaoji Shaoxing Cuisine (reliable chain), Kong Yiji Restaurant (retro style), Tongxinlou (excellent pan-fried buns) Accommodation recommendations - Value-for-money option: Shusheng Hometown Waterfront Guesthouse (400 yuan/night), original ecological street with less commercialization, see small bridges and flowing water from the window. - Family-Friendly: Dayu Kaiyuan Temple (slightly over budget but excellent experience), offers river cruises on covered boats, suitable for families. **Issues to Avoid:** 1. Don't believe claims of "free entry to Lu Xun's Former Residence"—these are shopping traps. Regular reservations are sufficient for free entry. 2. Be cautious about buying "handmade yellow wine" at the scenic area entrance. Recognize brands like Gu Yue Long Shan and Kuaiji Shan for better quality. 3. The cobblestone paths are slippery; wear flat shoes throughout. High heels are prone to slipping and tiring. 4. Museums and memorial halls are closed on Mondays; avoid them when planning your trip. **Bonus Tips:** - Best Time to Visit: March-May (spring tea season) or September-November (osmanthus blossoms + yellow wine aroma), avoiding the plum rain season and the damp cold of winter. - Best Photo Spots: Lu Xun's Former Residence at 6:30 AM (mist + cooking smoke = ink painting style); the bow of a covered boat on East Lake (take atmospheric photos with an umbrella). - Transportation perk: Search "Shaoxing Ride Code" on WeChat to scan and ride buses and subways—no card required! #ShaoxingTravelGuide #ShaoxingLuXun'sHometown #ShaoxingKeyanScenicArea

I regret not coming sooner! This is what Jiangnan should be like! Who can understand! I originally booked flights to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but after seeing the aroma of Shaoxing rice wine, I changed my plans and ended up being completely captivated by this 2500-year-old city 🤌 No crowds, just cobblestone streets, the sound of oars, and the intoxicating atmosphere of everyday life! ✅ Must-Do List (No Mistakes) ▫️Lu Xun's Former Residence: Free reservation! Touching the "early" character table at Sanwei Study, eating fennel beans with free rice wine at Xianheng Hotel, instantly transported me back to my textbooks 📖 Go at 8 am to enjoy the empty space and avoid the tour groups~ ▫️Cangqiao Straight Street: The red lanterns at dusk are breathtakingly beautiful! 1.5km stretch is full of treasures: 5 yuan stinky tofu, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; Huijingxuan yellow wine popsicles with an incredibly rich aroma; and 5 yuan at the riverside grandma's tea stall to listen to her chat. 🍵 ▫️Donghu Lake: The filming location for "Journey to the West" is absolutely amazing! 40 yuan for a ride in a covered boat through cliffs, the boatman paddling with his feet through narrow tunnels—it's thrilling! ✨ Go after 3 pm, the sunset painting the cliffs is breathtaking. ❌ A cautionary tale: Never buy the "ten-year aged" yellow wine from the scenic area! The same product is half the price in supermarkets; make sure you go to a legitimate dock for a covered boat—the unlicensed boats are often dilapidated and dangerous; wear non-slip shoes! The cobblestone paths are like an ice rink when it rains. 💦 Three days, 500 yuan per person for a fantastic meal! Braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens is rich yet not greasy, drunken shrimp is incredibly sweet and fresh, and Dingsheng cake is soft and fluffy. Staying at a guesthouse in the hometown of the Calligrapher Sage, you can see riverside houses right outside your window and be woken up by birdsong every morning. 🌿 The beauty of Shaoxing lies in its relaxed pace. Sipping Shaoxing wine and feeling the breeze, even the air feels gentle. This trip is so worthwhile, you'll want to stay forever! #ShaoxingTourism
