Dragon Boat Festival in Anchang, encounter the ancient water town

#Dragon Boat Festival good places During the Dragon Boat Festival, Anchang Ancient Town in Shaoxing is a rare and great place to go on vacation. It has the reputation of being the "Hometown of Sauces". It is built by the water, with small bridges, flowing water, pink walls and black tiles, like a painting in ink and color. During this time, the ancient town will hold the Dragon Boat Festival, where various sauce-making techniques will showcase their rich charm. Special foods such as Anchang old sauce, rice wine milk tea, and Shaoxing stinky tofu are mouth-watering. You can also participate in traditional activities such as burning realgar, shooting five poisonous animals, making sachets, etc., and feel the strong Dragon Boat Festival atmosphere. At night, you can take a black-sailed boat and cruise along the river in the ancient town, admiring the lights and scenery on both sides of the river and experiencing the tranquility and beauty of the water town. If you want to experience it more deeply, you can choose to stay in the Zhenshui Inn in the ancient town and experience the authentic water town life. Transportation is also quite convenient. You can take the high-speed rail from Hangzhou East Station to Shaoxing North Station, and then take a taxi or bus to get there directly.
