| Seeking the taste of the New Year. Yangshan Stone City →Anchang Ancient Town→ Narrow Tea Lake Ancient Canal Buying New Year's goods~ The strong New Year atmosphere, today is a happy day with cured food and historical culture. ①Go to Yangshan Stone City in the morning, which used to be a quarry, creating a stone city with strange rocks. It's very spectacular to look down from the top of the platform. ②10 minutes away, arrive at Anchang Ancient Town. In the twelfth lunar month, this word, which can only be seen in Lu Xun's novels now, is also completely preserved in Anchang. The water here is convenient, it used to be an economic town, many businessmen did business here and couldn't go home for the New Year, the local residents held activities in the twelfth lunar month to comfort their homesickness, there are various local snacks, which have been preserved to this day. This ancient town is also famous for its 'shiye', most of them come from Anchang Ancient Town. 'Shiye' was a profession in history, similar to the status of a consultant. Because they didn't have an official status, they could only sit in the back and listen to the trial. Once they found that the party's testimony was problematic, they would send a note. Renchang Soy Sauce Garden, a century-old soy sauce garden that has been on the tip of the tongue of China, is most famous for its mother and son sauce. Because there is a good soy sauce garden, the cured meat here is particularly famous. The production of sausages was listed on the intangible cultural heritage list in 2023. There are also characteristic intangible cultural heritage snacks, such as pulling white sugar and sweet rice wine steamed buns, which are worth tasting. There is also yellow wine, and popsicles and milk tea made with yellow wine are also special. Find a local small shop, sit by the river, and eat a few local dishes is also a good choice. ③30 minutes away, arrive at Narrow Tea Lake Ancient Canal in the afternoon. This lake is an inland lake, named after the production of Narrow Tea Lake fish. This rare fish has other familiar names, called anglerfish in Shanghai, and yellow spicy in Sichuan hot pot. In ancient times, boat trackers pulled the boat upstream on the ancient canal, and the piles of the canal also divided the water area into two parts. One side of the water is calm and can be used as a wind shelter. The entire canal is made of bluestone slabs, which was also called Baiyu Longdi Road in history. It has made a great contribution to water transportation and has greatly helped the economic development of Shaoxing. The sunset in the evening is very beautiful on the water surface
