CITY OF WINE🥂 SHAOXING

A day trip to Shaoxing is a journey into the heart of traditional Chinese culture, and the highlight is undoubtedly the Shaoxing Wine Museum. Walking among rows of giant clay wine vats and the earthy scent of fermentation, you get a real sense of the region’s deep connection to its famous yellow wine. The museum blends history and craftsmanship beautifully, with old brewing tools, poetic displays, and even free tastings that let you savor the mellow, slightly sweet flavor of aged wine. Afterward, a peaceful boat ride through East Lake and a stroll along Cangqiao Street complete the experience — quiet canals, stone bridges, and the lingering aroma of rice wine in the air make it feel like stepping back in time. 🌟 Purchase the entry ticket (30rmb) to the museum and enjoy a free huadiaojiu !
