I followed the trend and went to Shaoxing to share my favorite photo spot
Mr. Muxin said
Jiangnan without bones is not only Suzhou, but Jiangnan with bones must be seen in Shaoxing.
What is Jiangnan?
Jiangnan can be: Wanting to compare West Lake to Xizi, always suitable whether heavily or lightly made up (Hangzhou), or it can be: When you arrive in Gusu, you see every household rests by the river (Suzhou), or it can be: The picturesque water towns of Jiangnan, where houses extend and wind chimes sound pleasing (Wuzhen)...
But I prefer
Yellow wine and black-awning boats, Shaoxing intoxicates Jiangnan
Here there is the unique gentleness of Jiangnan
And a bit of the temperament and spirit of literati.
Next, I will share the photo spots from this trip to Shaoxing
Great shots at every location❗
✅Luzhen
Lu Xun once mentioned Luzhen in 'Kong Yiji', which is the hometown of his grandmother in his writings: as a child, he would row boats at night with local friends to the neighboring village to watch the opera, with the sound of the wind by his ears, the splashing of water at the bow, black-awning boats, black felt hats, and bluestone slabs...
Luzhen is an ancient town rebuilt based on Lu Xun's novels, where the Lu Mansion, Kuiwen Pavilion, and Ah Q's Tugou Shrine mentioned in the stories are all presented.
📍Ying'en Bridge (Picture 1)
✅Keyan
Keyan is mainly famous for its stone scenery, and the most famous here is the Tiangong Great Buddha, carved during the Sui and Tang dynasties, situated among giant solitary rocks and standing above the pool water, it has been there for over 1600 years.

💴Tickets: Keyan 80, painted boat: 15, black-awning boat 35, Luzhen opera performance 128
✅Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy
The hometown of Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy, and Cai Yuanpei, a leading scholar, has already become one of the hot spots in Shaoxing, especially the Ink Pool, where crowds line up to take photos, wearing Quanzhou's hairpin flower attire and Hanfu. I personally suggest taking a walk through the local alleys, which is quite interesting.
📍Roadside coffee shop (Picture 4)
✅Bazi Bridge
Song Jiatai's 'Kuaiji Annals' states: 'Bazi Bridge, located in the southeast of the prefectural city. Two bridges are opposite and slanted, shaped like the character '八' (eight), hence the name.'
The bridge is built at the confluence of three rivers, with one bridge spanning all three. Compared to the Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, there are fewer tourists here, making it a very comfortable place to stroll.
📍Dongshuang Bridge and Wangchun Bridge (Pictures 5, 6)
✅Jiemin Library
The same photo spot as actress Liu Shishi, it is really beautiful, especially a screen wall, adorned with rocks and complemented by white walls and black tiles, this is the Eastern aesthetics that China has come to understand.
📍Entrance (Picture 7), inside the library (Picture 8)
✅Xixiao Road Historical District
The filming location of the movie 'The Summer of Xixiao River', this is a very well-preserved old district, with old walls, small rivers, and bluestone roads. There are not many spots for taking great photos, but it is very original, and basically, it is the local people who live here.
📍Houses along the river (Picture 10)
Very suitable for children to play. There are three themes of Keyan Scenic Area, Big Buddha, Jianhu and Luzhen. The stone bridge of Jianhu is thin and long, which is very interesting. Luzhen restores the world under Lu Xun's writing, and AQ will suddenly appear to perform a section, which is very interesting!

I often live in Atour, Atour service is still very good, the service staff will greet warmly, the pillow is very comfortable to sleep, there is a laundry room to wash clothes is very convenient, late at night porridge tastes very good, there are many types, the stay is very pleasant, the front desk Manning gave me two bottles of water when I left, Very warm. The library is very good, I have read a long time of books!
Shaoxing Keyan Scenic Area is a place worth visiting. Whether it is to enjoy the natural scenery or feel the history and culture, it can make people harvest. There is a unique natural scenery, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and trees are shaded. Walking in the scenic area, it seems to be in a beautiful picture. Keyan's rock formations are different and unique, making people sigh the magic of nature. Especially like Shaoxing ancient fiber road, walking in the narrow ancient fiber road, ancient stone, carrying the traces of the years, the river on both sides is leisurely, people feel relaxed and happy.
Keyan scenery is composed of Keyan, Jianhu, Luzhen. It is very convenient to drive or take a taxi to the scenic spot. Now it is free time. It only costs 15 yuan for the ferry ticket, so it is worth a visit. There are two routes to choose from. We chose Keyan ~ Jianhu ~ Luzhen this route. It is more comfortable to walk along, basically will not miss the main attractions after making an appointment in advance to the entrance of Keyan Scenic Area to scan the code to enter, and go straight to the most core attractions ~ Tiangong Buddha and Yungu (personally think Yungu is the soul of Keyan), Don't miss the quarry site of the Three Kingdoms period. After that, Puzhao Temple is newly built, you can go or not. There are some artificial small attractions on the way to Jianhu. You can control the speed of the tour according to your preferences. The core of Jianhu is in the ancient fiber road (including the ancient cruise ship dock). Walking on it (especially on rainy days) can really feel the difficulty of the ancients. In fact, the scenery of Jianhu is best and easy to get to Luzhen to take a ferry boat at the cruise ship terminal. Luzhen has a strong modern atmosphere, but it still feels very comfortable. Chen Banding and the two cultural museums of the Monkey King are easy to ignore, but in fact, there are many content worth seeing. The core of Luzhen is Luzhen Bridge and the stage, especially the stage will have the performance of the Qingsong of the Yue Opera. The young lady sings very well, but unfortunately there are few tourists on this day. Maybe the New Year will be very lively here in Luzhen Commercial Street. There is no good shopping. There is Lu Xun's sculpture at the entrance and exit. It takes about four hours for the children to remember the whole tour. Although it rained on the day we went, it was raining. Looking at Keyan in the rain has a different feeling.
Very taste of Jiangnan Yayuan, the birthplace of Wuluo Hat: Shaoxing Keyan Scenic Area began in the Han Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,800 years, the total area is 6.87 square kilometers, with the connotation of ancient Yue culture, the ancient quarrying scene is characteristic, Rong Shaoxing water town style, ancient quarrying scene, The mountain and forest ecology is integrated, including Keyan, Jianhu, Luzhen and Xianglin four scenic spots, here is beautiful natural scenery, rich humanistic landscape, Shaoxing water culture, stone culture, bridge culture, wine culture and famous culture, folk culture, opera culture, amalgamation. Its strange stone "cloud bone", after thousands of years, stand up, far as a smoke, sky, there is "the stove pillar clear smoke" called, for the eternal.
Take a taxi to Luzhen. First of all, the tourist service center is great. We came to Keyan Scenic Area from the hotel with luggage. The service center is free to store. This is very moving, because the four of us and the team tourists are the opposite route, so from Luzhen Pier to take a picture boat is only us four. Personally, the experience is great. Gu Xianfu Road Douyin often brushes it as an Internet celebrity, which is really good. The most essence is the natural stone pillars left by the two quarrying stones in Keyan Scenic Area.
The layout of the scenic spot is very reasonable. After I parked the car in the parking lot, I entered from the gate of Keyan Scenic Area. After visiting Keyan Scenic Area, I arrived at Jianhu Scenic Area. Then I took a picture and boat back to Lu Town. Lu Town came out to return to the parking lot. Basically, I didn't go back. During the period, Keyan's Tiangong Buddha and cloud bones were miracles, especially the cloud bones can stand for thousands of years without falling is simply a miracle. The scenery of Jianhu is beautiful, and the awning boat adds a mood to Jianhu. Back to Luzhen, you can also watch a play, or eat a snack to fill your stomach just to end the whole attraction trip.
