Xiexi Street Shaomai Shop

The breakfast shop I chose when I went to Jiaxing was just behind the hotel, so it was convenient to walk there. The shop was really small, and there were a lot of people lining up. |Shengjian Siu Mai^This is a must-order. The siu Mai is made in the Shengjian way, with bamboo shoots and meat as the fillings. It is really fragrant after being fried at the bottom. |Shrimp Siu Mai^This is steamed, and there is a packet of soup inside the siu Mai, which is very delicious. The shrimps are also quite big.

The sign has been changed. The classic set meal is 18 yuan, which is not expensive, but not so amazing. It is okay to pass by and fill your stomach, but it is not necessary to come here specially.

Authentic traditional snacks, still taste the same as before.

1️⃣ Quanzhou The city of gods, which Bai Yansong said is a "must-visit in one's lifetime"! For solo travelers, I recommend staying at a rooftop guesthouse on West Street and waking up to the morning bells. Take a 2-yuan ride on the "Little White Bus" for a leisurely stroll, and enjoy a therapeutic tea ceremony at Guanyue Temple and Chengtian Temple. A must-try is the rice noodle soup with crispy pork; the auntie will generously add toppings like she'd treat her daughter. 2️⃣ Jiaxing A gentle haven just half an hour from Shanghai by high-speed rail! Relax on a traditional awning boat in Yuehe Ancient Town, and the boatman will secretly point out egrets. Enjoy a hearty 13-yuan meal of shumai and vermicelli soup on Xiexi Street. In the evening, visit Xiangjiadang to see the reflections of the metasequoia forest; every snapshot is cinematic. 3️⃣ Zhenjiang A hidden gem illuminated by Nanjing's brilliance! You'll never tire of walking the cobblestone streets of Xijindu; the aroma of the pot-lid noodles with braised pork is simply divine. Exclusive discovery: the rose wall at the former British Consulate is still blooming in November, perfect for sketching and photography. 4️⃣ Chongqing (Popular but with a solo travel plan!) Avoid the crowds at Hongyadong, stay at an art-themed guesthouse in Huangjueping, and take the Yangtze River Cableway in the early morning to see the river view through the mist. Enjoy unlimited refills of tea at old teahouses along the mountain trails for 5 yuan, and have fun chatting with the local aunties. 💡Safety tips for solo female travelers: • Choose accommodations within the ancient city of Quanzhou/Jiaxing for a lively atmosphere at night. • Navigation in Chongqing is prone to malfunction, so save a 3D map of the subway system in advance. • Bring a lightweight selfie stick; shopkeepers are happy to help take photos.
