An Underrated Water Town in Jiangnan ~ Shaoxing

Travel Route Yangcha Lake / Huangjiu Town / East Lake / Lu Xun's Former Residence / Cangqian Straight Street / Shusheng's Hometown / Xixiaolu / Anchang Ancient Town 1 Yangcha Lake A slender ancient path on the blue lake surface. Taking a stroll along the path in the evening and enjoying the breeze is quite pleasant. 2 Huangjiu Town A quiet, less crowded ancient water town with small bridges and flowing water, avoiding the tourist crowds. You can visit the clustered distilleries, Yue Brewing Workshop, Xinqiao, Huangjiu Utensils Exhibition Hall, Xu Xilin's Former Residence, Jiuyan Yanglong Bureau, and also take a Wupeng boat ride without waiting in line. This time, I stayed at Tingrun·Dongpu | Fuyi Tang Holiday Homestay in Huangjiu Town! It's perfect for experiencing a slow life on weekends. You can leisurely stroll around the town in the morning. The homestay offers attentive service, a café, and a Huangjiu-themed bar where you can enjoy a cup of Huangjiu coffee to relax in the afternoon. You can also experience the slow life of Jiangnan water towns on a Wupeng boat. Navigation: Tingrun·Dongpu | Fuyi Tang Holiday Homestay 3 East Lake Cliffs and deep ravines like an ink painting, with emerald pools and rock reflections, plus boat rides. 4 Lu Xun's Former Residence Be sure to visit Lu Xun's former home to experience the real scenes from the textbook, from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study. 5 Cangqiao Straight Street Small bridges, flowing water, bluestone slabs, ancient alleys, and old houses—a street full of lively local atmosphere. 6 Shusheng's Hometown Small bridges and flowing water, blue bricks and black tiles, leisurely drifting on a slow rowing boat through the Jiangnan water towns. 7 Xixiaolu A Jiangnan water town in the city center, with layered architecture, a real-life version of the "Jiangnan Hundred Scenes"—a quiet and less crowded street. 8 Jinghu National Park · Ten-Mile Lotus Pond Here is a ten-mile lotus pond, a niche spot with few people, soon to enter full bloom. 9 Anchang Ancient Town One of Shaoxing's four major ancient towns, Anchang Ancient Town is a Jiangnan water town that has not yet been fully commercialized.
