How can there be such a beautiful place as Shaoxing Lanting

Don't just go to Lu Xun's hometown where it's crowded when visiting Shaoxing, make sure to set aside half a day to see the 'Lanting Pavilion' described by Wang Xizhi. Borrowing the words of a literary master to introduce Lanting: This place has towering mountains and steep hills, dense forests and tall bamboo, as well as clear streams and rapid torrents, reflecting and surrounding the area. After spending an afternoon here, it felt like entering a green fairyland. The ancients did not deceive me; Lanting is truly worthwhile. 🤩 📍|Lanting Scenic Area, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City 🚘|About 0.5h drive from Shaoxing city center, or take the direct line 3 from Lu Xun's hometown 🎫|70r, free for locals from Shaoxing 🗺️|Tour route: Enter the park—Goose Pond—Lanting Stele Pavilion—Qu Shui Liu Shang—Wang Youjun Shrine—Linchi Eighteen Vats—Chenghuai Bridge—Lanting Ancient Path—Tianzhang Temple Ruins—Lanting Calligraphy Museum—Exit the park -Goose Pond- It is said that the two characters of Goose Pond were written by Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi. There are indeed several big white geese by the pond, looking very cute and silly. -Lanting Stele Pavilion- One of the four famous pavilions in China, it is a landmark building. -Qu Shui Liu Shang Pavilion- Built to commemorate the 'Qu Shui Liu Shang' event, the pavilion is arranged with a different view at every step. -Linchi Eighteen Vats- Next to the Imperial Stele Pavilion, there are eighteen practice stone slabs and eighteen vats. Visitors can write on the stone slabs to experience the literati's brushwork. -Tianzhang Temple- Reconstructed on the original site, the temple still retains ruins. The interior layout is exquisite, and looking through the doors and windows at the green bamboo and leaves outside is very healing. ✨|Tour tips ❶ The reflection of Tianzhang Temple is like the effect of a mirror, or use Photoshop magic, the wider the lens the better. ❷ The scenic area is not too small; walking around and taking pictures takes about 2h. The small shops inside are quite expensive 😥. Buy some sugar-free tea in advance at the convenience store before going. The fragrance of gardenia makes spring tangible, and it's not bitter at all. The transparent bottle matches the green scenery perfectly, making for great photos yyds! ❸ The weather is getting hotter, bring some mosquito repellent.
