Shaoxing Travel Guide I. Must-See Attractions—Shunwang Temple Shunwang Temple, located in Liangxi Village, Wangtan Town, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, is an ancient temple hidden in the mountains. It is easily accessible by car or by taking the Lanting Cultural Tourism Pingwang Line. Admission is free, and there is free parking. Shunwang Temple is unique for its "three marvels": wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings, which are found throughout the temple, creating a magnificent and fantastical world of art. The temple is filled with deities and mythical creatures, creating an overwhelming and bizarre atmosphere, as if scenes from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* are coming to life. The temple is built on a hillside, surrounded by beautiful scenery, next to the Xiaoshun River, with fresh air and clear water. Shunwang Temple is open daily from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The temple buildings retain exquisite and well-preserved stone carvings, wood carvings, and murals. Every pillar, every wall, and every ceiling is carved with complex legendary stories, giving visitors a strong sense of history. Of particular note is the triple-eaved ancient opera stage inside the temple. Its built-in coffered ceiling and 16 sets of corbel brackets spiral upwards, forming a unique chicken-coop-shaped roof structure, a prime example of Shaoxing opera stages. Although Shunwang Temple is a niche attraction, its unique charm and historical value make it a must-see. Due to the small number of tourists, you can quietly appreciate the scenery and culture here and enjoy a unique travel experience. II. Shaoxing Food Recommendations Shaoxing has a wide variety of cuisines, the most famous of which are yellow rice wine, drunken crab, and Meicai braised pork. In addition, there are Shaoxing-style pastries and snacks, such as tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, which are not to be missed. During your trip to Shaoxing, you can taste a variety of foods and experience the unique flavors of this city. Whether you like history, culture, or food, Shaoxing will leave a lasting impression on you. The above is a brief travel guide to Shaoxing. I hope it will be helpful to you.
