The osmanthus season in Shaoxing is unprecedentedly grand, with the whole city filled with fragrance

Recently, Shaoxing has welcomed a magnificent osmanthus season triggered by the climate, with osmanthus flowers blooming rapidly and densely throughout the city, creating a unique scene of "osmanthus fragrance surrounding the city." Rare sights of "osmanthus and cherry blossoms blooming together" have appeared in places like Tushan Road and Wanwei Mountain. The rich scent of osmanthus connects the ancient city inside and out, giving rise to new consumption scenes and travel stories centered around "osmanthus." In popular districts such as the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, the hometown of Lu Xun, and Cangqiao Straight Street, visitors follow the fragrance to start an immersive experience. The three old osmanthus trees in the backyard of the Sage of Calligraphy Garden Hotel at Lantingji, the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, have quickly become popular. The largest tree has a diameter of over 50 centimeters, and the crowns of the three trees intertwine to form a natural canopy of nearly 100 square meters, with golden flower clusters adorning the branches and a pervasive delicate fragrance. The hotel offers a special experience called "Tasting Shaoxing under the Osmanthus Tree," where visitors can drink tea and savor Shaoxing cuisine amid falling petals like rain, achieving the ultimate enjoyment of taste, smell, and sight. It is fully booked on weekends. The homestay Shier Pusu in the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy is filled with the scent of osmanthus both inside and outside the courtyard, attracting many visitors to stay and take photos in traditional costumes. Come to Shaoxing and feel a different kind of romance and comfort in this osmanthus fragrance!
