Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I love this low-key small town in the south of the Yangtze River more

Hangzhou subway is directly accessible!!! Shaoxing is a very suitable place for literary and artistic youth. The small bridges, flowing water, and homes here, the harmonious coexistence of people and the natural environment here, are always telling the tranquility and elegance of this city, and it has also been naturally endowed with the attributes of play. When walking in the slanting sun and grass trees of the ancient city, ordinary lanes and alleys, you can see, learn, and realize, unknowingly, peeping into the "ideal country" of the soul. If you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the awning boats, stone roads, narrow alleys, small bridges and flowing water... This treasure town has all the poetic and picturesque of the southern water town, but it is not as commercialized as Suzhou and Hangzhou and there are so many tourists, but there is more comfort and tranquility. Even if it's just a simple one or two days of Citywalk, it's enough to play around the whole city of Shaoxing! The ink pool, ancient bridge, grandfather's old bookstore, and ubiquitous wall calligraphy and painting in the hometown of the sage of books, strolling among them, full of poetic and picturesque and bookishness! In Lu Xun's hometown, you can go to the same "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" in the Chinese textbook, take a look at where Mr. Lu Xun lived when he was a child, and you can also sit in a awning boat and feel the charm of the southern water town here. Walking in Cangqiao Straight Street, take a look at the old houses along the river, look at the beautiful scenery of the water town on Baozhu Bridge, and daze in the teahouse, it's simply too comfortable! There is a heart-shaped big tree in the historical block of West Xiaolu, which is the location of the movie "Summer of West Xiaolu", it is very quiet on weekdays, and there are also many art students to sketch. The eight-character old ancient bridge from the Song Dynasty to the present, both sides are towering camphor trees shaded by green trees, and there are some comfortable small shops scattered, coming and going here, there is really no lack of fireworks.
