Lu Xun's hometown is a historical district in Shaoxing City, where the literary giant Lu Xun lived as a teenager. The scenic area not only preserves many old buildings from that time, but also restores the landscapes described by the master, such as the Tugu Temple and Shoujiataimen. You'll recognize scenes from school textbooks like Baicao Garden and Sanwei Bookstore.. The main road of the scenic area is lined with white walls and black tiles. You can walk into Lu Xun's former residence to visit the place where he was born, and go to Baicao Garden or Sanwei Bookstore to see the desk that the young Lu Xun used when he was studying. Of course, you can also go to the Xianheng Hotel, take a photo with the bronze statue of Kong Yiji, eat some fennel beans, have a bowl of rice wine, and savor the Shaoxing-style slow life.

Keyan Scenic Area is located at the foot of Keshan Mountain and consists of three parts: Keyan, Jianhu Lake and Lu Town. Keyan is the core of the entire scenic area. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was a quarry with various wonders such as stone pits, stone caves, stone pools, stone walls, etc. Just outside the city, it's perfect for experiencing Shaoxing's culture while relaxing. There are two gates in the scenic area, one is Keyan and the other is Lu Town. Both gates can lead into the scenic area and are not far from each other. It is recommended to choose the Keyan-Jianhu-Luzhen route for visiting the scenic area in the morning. If you buy tickets after 2 pm, it is recommended to choose the Luzhen-Jianhu-Keyan route. Today, the Keyan Scenic Area includes four major attractions: Stone Buddha, Mirror Water Bay, Yuezhong Celebrity Garden, and Yuanshan Garden. Among them, the more special ones are the "Heavenly Buddha" and the "Qiyun Stone Bones". The "Heavenly Buddha" was carved in the Sui Dynasty and was completed by three generations of stonemasons. It is quite imposing; while the "Qiyun Stone Bones" is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like an upside-down pagoda. It is more than 30 meters high and has a base circumference of only 4 meters. It seems top-heavy, but it has stood in wind and rain for more than a thousand years, which is amazing. Jianhu Lake is the "Mother Lake" of Shaoxing. It has four scenic spots including the Eastern Han Dynasty Flute Pavilion, Nanyang Autumn Cruise, Five Bridges Moonlight Walk and Huluzui Island. Here you can take a black-sailed boat to go boating on Jianhu Lake (extra charge required), and you can also taste rice wine and watch the flow of koji wine on Hulucui Island to experience the rice wine culture of Shaoxing. Lu Town was originally a fictional town created by Lu Xun. The Lu Town Scenic Area is a rural town theme park built to restore the "Lu Town" created by Lu Xun. Lu Town is adjacent to Jianhu Lake and has shops, inns, cultural exhibition halls, Taimen Opera Stage, etc. On the streets of Lu Town, there are actors playing characters from Lu Xun's novels such as Ah Q and Xianglin Sao. They are very lifelike and you can take photos with them. There are restaurants such as Keyan Restaurant, Pinjiu Restaurant and Yishiju Restaurant in the scenic area where you can dine. The prices are a bit expensive, so it is recommended to bring some food with you. After the tour, return to Shaoxing for accommodation.
