It is said that "to see the sturdy Jiangnan, you must visit Shaoxing." This low-key ancient city, without the hustle and bustle of Suzhou and Hangzhou, perfectly blends history, culture, and water town life. Just returned from Shaoxing, here is a practical itinerary and highlights to share: 📍 Core Route Recommendation (2 days 1 night highlights version) • Day 1: Shaoxing in the Fragrance of Books and Ink ◦ Morning: Lu Xun’s Hometown ▪ Must-visit Baicao Garden and Sanwei Study, experience scenes from textbooks, and see Lu Xun’s desk carved with the character "early." It’s recommended to go early to avoid peak crowds. ◦ Lunch: Near Lu Xun’s Hometown pedestrian street, try local snacks (such as Ciwu handmade noodles). ◦ Afternoon: Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy ▪ Stroll through the neighborhood where Wang Xizhi lived; the Ink Pool, Fan Bridge, and Jie Zhu Temple tell stories of calligraphy. Key spot: Jifang Bridge calligraphy wall, very photogenic. Walk slowly along the river to feel the original water town life. ◦ Evening: Bazi Bridge ▪ See China’s earliest "overpass." At sunset, local residents chat leisurely at the bridgehead, presenting an authentic water town scene full of life. Perfect for a relaxed walk and photos. ◦ Dinner: Near Cangqiao Straight Street, with more options, try Shaoxing cuisine (drunken chicken, braised pork with preserved vegetables). • Day 2: Gifts of Mountains, Water, and Ancient Towns ◦ Morning: East Lake ▪ Core experience: Ride a black-awning boat! The small boat passes between steep cliffs and stone bridges, like being inside a mountain-water bonsai, experiencing the magical feeling of a "Journey to the West" filming location. Recommend reserving about 2 hours. ◦ Lunch: Outside East Lake scenic area or return to the city. ◦ Afternoon: Anchang Ancient Town ▪ A bit farther from the city (about 40 minutes by car), but well worth it. The old street extends along the river, focus on the sauce-dried goods hanging on both banks (sausage, dried fish, sauce duck), feeling the strong local life atmosphere. Visit Jiangyuan and Renchang Jiangyuan. During festivals, the scene of buying New Year goods is livelier. You can buy some sauce specialty products. 🍜 Shaoxing Flavors You Can't Miss: • Yellow Wine Popsicle: Common on the streets, with the aroma of yellow wine + milk + a slight buzz, a must-try! Recommended spots: shops along Lu Xun’s Hometown and Sage of Calligraphy areas. • Stinky Tofu: Crispy outside, tender inside, Shaoxing’s unique style, strong smell but delicious taste. Recommended spots: Cangqiao Straight Street pedestrian street, Lu Xun’s Hometown. • Radish Shreds Pancake: Freshly fried and eaten, crispy crust, sweet and juicy radish filling. Recommended spots: street food stalls everywhere. • Ciwu Handmade Noodles: Chewy noodles with rich toppings (such as three delicacies, pork kidney). Recommended spots: noodle shops by the street, near Lu Xun’s Hometown. • Shaoxing Drunken Crab/Shrimp: Strong wine aroma, incredibly fresh and tasty. Recommended spots: local restaurants (such as Xianheng Hotel, Treasure Hunt, etc.). 📌 Practical Tips: • Transportation: City attractions are concentrated (Lu Xun’s Hometown, Sage of Calligraphy, Bazi Bridge, Cangqiao Straight Street), walk + taxi/bus is enough. East Lake is a bit farther; Anchang Ancient Town requires taxi or bus (BRT rapid bus available). • Accommodation: Recommended to stay near Lu Xun’s Hometown or City Square for convenient transport and food. • Essence: The beauty of Shaoxing lies in "slow" and "real." Slow down, explore the alleys, observe local life to truly appreciate the charm of this "museum without walls." Shaoxing is another way to experience Jiangnan, waiting for you to discover its low-key richness and deep affection.

At the beginning of this century, during the repair of the Baoben Pagoda in Pinghu, a round, lidded jar made of huanghuali wood was discovered inside the pagoda's finial (heavenly palace). The jar has a mouth diameter of 121 cm, a base diameter of 10.7 cm, and a height of 15 cm. The lid is damaged. The jar has straight walls, with the two characters "法宝" (Fa Bao, Dharma Treasure) engraved in seal script on the outer wall. The jar contained this sutra scroll. The scroll is made of dark blue paper, measuring 10.1 cm in height and 4030 cm in width. It is entirely written in gold-flecked regular script and is well-preserved. The scroll was copied in the seventh year of the Xuande reign of the Ming Dynasty (1432) by Yuan Jing, then serving as the Right Assistant Director of the Buddhist Registry, according to Zheng He's wishes. This is an acknowledgment of Zheng He's devout Buddhism, his funding of the printing of Buddhist scriptures, and the casting of a gilded stupa containing relics. This is the only physical evidence discovered to date, besides written records, of Zheng He's Buddhist faith. The scroll contains over 70,000 characters, including an image of a stupa emitting light and auspicious omens, a plaque with cloud and dragon lotus patterns, a depiction of the Vulture Peak Dharma Assembly, a preface to the propagation of the Lotus Sutra, the complete seven volumes and 28 chapters of the Lotus Sutra, a postscript by the scribe, a plaque with cloud patterns, and an image of the guardian deity Weituo. The plaque, in regular script, reads: “Zheng He, a devout Buddhist official of the Great Ming Dynasty, whose Dharma name is Fu Jixiang, has dedicated himself to casting a gilded stupa for the eternal worship of relics. He hopes that in this life, the five blessings will be fulfilled, and in future lives, he will enjoy a dignified and long life. Written on the third day of the ninth month of the seventh year of the Xuande reign.” Based on the content of the plaque and the scribe's postscript, it can be determined that this scroll belonged to Zheng He. Zheng He (1371-1433), originally surnamed Ma, named He, also known as Sanbao or Sanbao, Dharma name Fu Jixiang, was a native of Kunyang, Yunnan (present-day Jinning, Yunnan). He was a Chinese Ming Dynasty navigator and diplomat. In 1404, during the second year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle bestowed the surname Zheng upon him, and he became known as Zheng He. From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean. In April 1433, during the eighth year of the Xuande reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He died in Calicut on the west coast of India and was buried at Niushou Mountain in Nanjing. Based on the three seals engraved on the bottom of the round, lidded huanghuali wood jar—"Seal of Lu Guangzu," "Seal of Lu Jishu," and "Seal of Lu Qinxi"—the scroll was likely acquired by Lu Guangzu during his time as an official in Nanjing and later brought back to Pinghu. Passed down through three generations, it was placed inside the Baoben Pagoda as a treasure during its reconstruction in 1686, the twenty-fifth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, overseen by Lu Rou. Lu Guangzu (1521-1597), courtesy name Yusheng, sobriquet Wutai, was from Pinghu Shi... Lu Gao's eldest son, Lu Jishu (1554-1614), courtesy name Zhongren, style name Danyuan, was the second son of Lu Guangzu. He was from Beijingli (now Jiudai Village, Xindai Town). He was the eldest son of Lu Gao and passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, becoming a Jinshi in the Dingwei year of the Jiajing reign (1547). He served successively as Right Vice Minister of War, Left Vice Minister of Personnel, Minister of Works, and Minister of Personnel. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Grand Tutor of the Heir Apparent and the posthumous name Zhuangtong. Lu Jishu (1554-1614), courtesy name Zhongren, style name Danyuan, was the second son of Lu Guangzu. He served as a Director in the Ministry of Works through hereditary privilege. Lu Qinxi, birth and death dates unknown, courtesy name Jishi, was the grandson of Lu Guangzu's cousin, Lu Guangru. This sutra was copied by Yuan Jing, courtesy name Xinyuan, whose background is unknown. He studied under Yu Weng of the Tiantai school at Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou. During the Xuande reign of the Ming Dynasty (1426-1435), he served as Right Assistant Minister of the Buddhist Registry (in charge of Buddhist affairs). He compiled the forty-volume *Jiaocheng Fashu* (Treatise on the Dharma of the Teachings). This sutra is a national first-class cultural relic. It is on display at the Pinghu Museum as part of the exhibition *Peaceful Repayment of Kindness—Cultural Relics Unearthed from the Baoben Pagoda Heavenly Palace*, and is not normally on display.

The Rainbow Suspension Bridge, the first stop upon landing, comes with a romantic filter. Its colorful structure spans the sea, directly leading to the island. Walking on the bridge offers a broad view where the blue sea meets the distant skyline, the sea breeze brushing your face. Every photo taken here is a fresh seaside masterpiece, instantly starting this romantic maritime journey. Sunset Beach is the soul of Waipushan and the best spot to witness stunning sunsets. In winter, sunsets occur around 5 to 5:30 PM. Sitting early on the seaside rocks, feeling the cool sea breeze and watching waves gently lap the rocks, the atmosphere is filled with a unique Korean film vibe. The seaside swing looks especially gentle under the sunset glow. When the afterglow dyes the sea a soft orange, swinging gently with the sea breeze, you see a sparkling orange sea ahead and a sky full of evening clouds behind. This moment’s beauty is enough to heal all fatigue. The Solitary Book House is a delightful surprise on the island. This small seaside book house features large floor-to-ceiling windows. At sunset, sunlight streams through the glass, with the rolling sea and standing lighthouse outside, and occasionally a cargo ship slowly passing by. The scene resembles the seaside of Jeju Island—quiet and romantic. Sitting inside, accompanied by the sea breeze and the sound of turning pages, daydreaming and watching the sea, time slows down and becomes gentle. This unique tranquility is a rare treasure in the city. The White Lighthouse is Waipushan’s iconic landmark. Its pure white tower stands by the sea, lonely yet romantic, becoming the most eye-catching seaside scenery. Waiting for the sunset under the lighthouse, watching the sky and sea dyed warm orange by the evening glow, the white lighthouse contrasts beautifully with the orange sky, warm and romantic. Taking photos here, whether from afar or up close, is full of atmosphere, capturing the romantic moments unique to the seaside. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter a supermoon on the island. When the bright moonlight spills over the sea, the water sparkles, the evening breeze gently blows, and the sound of waves echoes. The poetic scene of “the bright moon rising over the sea, sharing this moment across the horizon” instantly comes to life. This moment of heart-fluttering romance will be remembered for a long time. For a perfect experience, remember these tips: the seaside is windy, so bring an extra jacket and wear non-slip sports shoes to avoid slipping on rocky paths; winter sunsets come early, and the scenic area stops ticket checks at 4:30 PM, so it’s best to arrive before 3 PM to leisurely visit all the beautiful spots and wait for the sunset. Travel and expenses at Waipushan are also very considerate. The scenic area is located in Jiulongshan Tourism Resort, Zhapu Town, Jiaxing. It’s recommended to drive to the Waipushan Scenic Area parking lot, where parking is free for the first hour and only 10 yuan per day afterward. Single tickets cost 30 yuan, and on the 15th of each month, there’s a pet-friendly ticket for 49 yuan, allowing you to bring your furry friend to the island as long as they are leashed, doubling the happiness of encountering seaside romance together. At Waipushan, there’s no rush, only pure tranquility and romance. Feel the sea breeze, watch the sunset, check in at the Solitary Book House and White Lighthouse, daydream on the seaside swing, and let the sea breeze carry away all worries and fatigue, gaining the unique freedom and healing of the seaside. This hidden maritime secret in Jiaxing is niche yet romantic, worth a weekend trip to escape the city, encounter the beauty of the seaside, and give your soul a break. This brief maritime journey will surely become an unforgettable romantic memory in your heart.

Traveling with kids in Shaoxing, we stayed at the amazing ShouLv Nanyuan Hotel, enjoyed authentic local snacks, but this popular itinerary also has some “traps” that specifically challenge families with children! Here’s my honest experience. First, the highlights (the best parts of this trip) 🌟: ShouLv Nanyuan Hotel is perfect for families with kids! It’s located right inside the Asian Games venue, with spacious and new rooms. The smart toilet kept the kids entertained for a long time. The best part is the free gym and laundry room! The kids get dirty playing every day, and their clothes get washed and dried the same day to wear again the next—such a time saver for moms! The robot delivery service excited the kids a lot. The buffet breakfast was abundant, and the kids ate happily. Shaoxing food offers the best value! Around Cangqiao Straight Street and Lu Xun’s Former Residence, you can try stinky tofu, yellow wine popsicles, and creamy little buns without spending much. The kids loved trying new things. For main meals, we went to local restaurants for steamed mandarin fish and braised pork with preserved vegetables, flavors the kids could easily enjoy. Cultural immersion happens effortlessly. Visiting Lu Xun’s Former Residence and the Calligraphy Sage’s Former Residence, with white walls, black tiles, small bridges, and flowing water, even if the kids don’t understand the deep history, the Jiangnan water town atmosphere itself is a form of aesthetic education. Now, some quiet warnings (the pains only parents understand) 🚫: Be cautious with the popular “Angsang Lake” and “Ten-Mile Lotus Pond”! Angsang Lake is just a very long ancient fiber path with monotonous scenery and no shade around. It’s especially hot! The kids complained of heat and tiredness after just ten minutes, with no fun at all. The Ten-Mile Lotus Pond in summer is beautiful, but after the lotus flowers wither, it’s just a pond. It’s not worth taking a taxi there on purpose. Donghu Scenic Area is small, and the black-awning boat ride is short! Donghu is praised as a “landscape bonsai,” indeed exquisite. But the park is small, and the black-awning boat ride lasts only 15 minutes. You wait in line for half an hour and ride for just a quarter of an hour. The kids didn’t get enough time on the boat before it ended, so the cost-performance ratio is low. Lu Xun’s Former Residence is crowded! On holidays and weekends, it’s a nightmare. Crowds everywhere, noisy tour groups with loudspeakers, kids can’t see the exhibits or hear the explanations clearly, just pushed along. The experience is zero. Don’t pack your itinerary too full! Shaoxing’s attractions are spread out, so taking taxis or driving is necessary. But visiting three or four spots in one day, with kids skipping naps at noon, will definitely lead to meltdowns in the evening. We adjusted on the second day: one spot in the morning, hotel rest and swimming in the afternoon, and another spot in the evening. Optimized itinerary suggestions for moms: ✅ Choose accommodation wisely: Picking a family-friendly hotel like we did (ShouLv Nanyuan or similar) is the foundation for a happy trip. ✅ Select key attractions: Skip remote popular spots. Focus on Lu Xun’s Former Residence (go right when it opens in the morning!), Calligraphy Sage’s Former Residence (fewer people, more local vibe), and Cangqiao Straight Street (eat and stroll). If you have extra energy, add Anchang Ancient Town (more original and rustic). ✅ Make good use of the hotel: Treat the hotel as an attraction. When it’s hottest and most tiring in the afternoon, take the kids back to swim, work out, and rest, then recharge for more exploring. ✅ Transportation choice: Take taxis between attractions to save time and energy. Shaoxing is a city best enjoyed slowly and with appreciation. When traveling with kids, don’t just “check off” spots, but “immerse” and “experience.” Stay comfortably, eat happily, stroll leisurely, and avoid crowds—then your trip is 90% successful.

In the eastern part of Zhejiang Province, there is a magical “Seaside Park.” Within the park, Tangshan, with an elevation of less than 100 meters, borders the East China Sea’s Hangzhou Bay to the south, connects to the Jiulong Mountain Range to the east, overlooks the Shawan Fishing Village in front, and embraces the ancient town of Zhapu behind, showcasing a unique geographical environment of “river, sea, and mountain.” Moreover, the park is rich in vegetation, coastal scenery, and historical sites such as Tianfei Palace Square, Tianfei Palace Battery, Ruixiang Temple, and Linhai Shawan Fishing Village, all of which are truly eye-catching! Even more exciting is that this Zhejiang “Seaside Park” is free to explore, so if you’re interested, it’s worth a visit. We’re talking about Tangshan Park in Zhejiang, a comprehensive park in Pinghu City, Jiaxing, that combines natural and cultural landscapes. Historically, Ruixiang Temple was built in Tangshan Park during the Ming Dynasty’s Wanli period. Later, in the 22nd year of the Qing Dynasty’s Guangxu reign (1896), military facilities were constructed, including two batteries made with a mixture of soil and glutinous rice. The park also displays breech-loading iron cannons cast by the Jiangnan Arsenal in 1888, reflecting its deep historical heritage! In modern times, the local area adapted Tangshan into a park, featuring distinctive attractions such as Lingbo Square, Tianfei Palace Battery, and Lianxin Pavilion, along with hiking trails, viewing platforms, and children’s play areas. The park highlights the “mountain, sea, and harbor” cultural characteristics and has gradually become well-known. Today, Tangshan Park offers a refreshing and invigorating experience. Visitors can stroll along winding mountain trails to enjoy nature or gaze out to sea to witness the vast, rolling waters. In the distance, the Hangzhou Bay Cross-Sea Bridge appears like a dragon lying on the waves, faintly visible and impressive! First-time visitors can follow this classic route: Tangshan Park – West Ground Parking Lot – Cuiwei Pavilion – Tangshan Square – North Square – Cultural Corridor – Zhapu Cultural and Art Exhibition Center – Lianxin Pavilion – Buddhist Culture and Art Museum – Silver Curtain Spouting Green – Fun Garden – Ruixiang Temple [10 RMB] – Wangyue Pavilion – Zodiac Platform – South Square – Tianfei Palace Battery – Shawan Fishing Village [optional] – Return A leisurely tour takes about 3 hours, evoking the feeling of “the tides singing before Tianfei Palace, cicadas chirping outside Ruixiang Temple.” Key highlights to check out include the Tianfei Palace Battery [military facility built in 1896 during the Guangxu reign], the Tianfei Palace Mazu Worship Site [with Qing Jiaqing period inscriptions recording the Maritime Silk Road history], Ruixiang Temple [built on the mountain facing the sea, majestic and a landmark Buddhist site in Zhapu], and the coastal views from Tangshan [offering distant views of Jiulong Mountain and Zhapu Harbor, overlooking the tides of Hangzhou Bay]. It’s perfect for relaxing and unwinding! Compared to typical parks, Uncle Shuai finds Tangshan Park more interesting. It’s a hidden gem by the sea, combining natural scenery, cultural history, and leisure entertainment. Whether for a weekend outing with kids, a couple’s date, or a trip with friends, it’s an excellent choice. It feels like being in a natural oxygen bar, with fresh air that lifts your spirits. Also, thanks to its seaside location, you can enjoy “sea foraging.” After the tide recedes, the tidal flats become a playground for children to catch small crabs and collect shells, experiencing the fun of sea foraging. Adults can visit Lingbo Square or Tianfei Palace Square to see various exhibitions, such as art shows and concerts—great for exploring and photography. When you’re done exploring, you can watch the sunset [5:30 PM–6:30 PM]. As giant cargo ships slowly pass by and the sea breeze carries a salty scent, the twilight scene is truly stunning—quiet and profound, leaving a lasting impression! Transportation By car: Navigate to “Tangshan Park – West Ground Parking Lot” or “Tangshan Park – East Ground Parking Lot,” and park wherever there is space. By public transit: Take the train to “Jiashan South Station,” then transfer to bus routes [165 → Pinghu 211, about 2 hours], or take a taxi [50 minutes]. Tangshan Park Practical Information: Free admission, optional Ruixiang Temple ticket [10 RMB], open all day, located at the intersection of Binhai Avenue and Tianfei Road, Pinghu City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. Self-driving is recommended. So, what do you think? Interested in Tangshan Park? Feel free to leave your comments and join the discussion!

Hidden in a rural paradise, Yuyuan Countryside Resort is a treasure trove for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city in winter. Here, white-walled, gray-tiled courtyards are nestled among wheat fields and orchards. Opening the window reveals frost-covered fields and misty forests. Gather around a fireplace to brew hot tea and soak in a private hot spring in the countryside, blending the tranquility and natural charm of winter countryside life into this idyllic scene. This firsthand guide will help you unlock a warm and leisurely winter in this secluded rural paradise! Choose Your Room Type? A Perfect Blend of Countryside Charm and Private Hot Spring - Maiyu Private Hot Spring King Room: The perfect choice for couples or best friends! The 45㎡ space is simple and refreshing, with wooden furniture paired with cotton and linen upholstery. The 1.8m king-size bed faces a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, and drawing back the curtains reveals an endless winter wheat field, with frost covering the stubble—tranquil and healing. The private hot spring bath on the terrace draws water from underground hot springs, with a constant temperature 24 hours a day. Soaking in the warm spring water on a winter evening, watching the sunset gild the fields, creates an atmosphere that is simply divine. The entire house is covered with underfloor heating, so even bare feet on the wooden floors feel warm and cozy. - Orchard Family Courtyard Suite: A must-have for families with children! A 70㎡ one-bedroom suite with a private courtyard facing the orchard and vegetable garden. The bedroom features a 1.8m king-size bed, and the living room has a tatami area. The room is equipped with farming toys, rural picture books, and a children's tent. Children can dig sweet potatoes and collect fallen leaves in the yard, while parents soak in the hot spring and enjoy the scenery without disturbing each other. - Panoramic Countryside Detached Villa: The ultimate choice for large groups! A 125㎡ two-bedroom villa with a prime location on a high point in the countryside, featuring a 270° panoramic window offering stunning views of wheat fields, orchards, and the village. The villa features a private hot spring bath in a courtyard and a charcoal barbecue grill, accommodating up to 4 adults and 2 children. In winter, enjoy a hot pot of lamb and roasted oranges around the grill, chatting to the sound of the wind rustling through the fields – a perfect blend of privacy and relaxation. Core Accommodation Experience: A Warm Winter Ritual in the Countryside - The Double Healing Experience of a Private Hot Spring and Sunset: Rooms with private hot spring baths have their bathtubs disinfected and cleaned daily. Complimentary mugwort bath bags, rose petals, and disposable bath bags are provided. In winter, brew a pot of warm longan and red date tea while soaking in the hot spring; the aroma of the tea, mixed with the fresh scents of earth and herbs, instantly dispels fatigue. After your soak, wrap yourself in a blanket and sit on a wicker chair on the terrace, watching the sunset slowly sink into the fields – romantic and idyllic. - A visual feast of frosty fields, mist, and morning glow: Winter countryside is often shrouded in mist and frost. Standing on the terrace in the early morning, you can see the mist like a veil draped over the wheat fields, with wisps of smoke rising from distant villages. On a sunny day, the rising sun leaps above the horizon, its golden light bathing the frosty fields. Every snapshot is a stunning Japanese-style pastoral scene, breathtaking even without filters. - Thoughtful winter services: The front desk provides complimentary hand warmers, non-slip rain boots, and windproof jackets. Families with children can book childcare services. Hot ginger tea and homemade glutinous rice cakes are served upon check-in, warming both the stomach and the heart. The resort also offers free laundry and drying services, so you don't have to worry about changing clothes during your winter trip to the countryside. - Complete accommodation and dining options: Enjoy a full day of fun without leaving the resort. - Dining: Savor the flavors of farm life Breakfast is a farm-style buffet, featuring freshly ground soy milk, handmade steamed buns, free-range eggs, multigrain porridge, and pickled vegetables and dried radish made by the owner herself, carrying a strong rustic flavor. The dining area by the floor-to-ceiling windows offers a perfect setting to start your day with breakfast while gazing at the morning frost over the fields. - For dinner, we recommend the farmhouse hot pot set meal. The broth is made with free-range chicken simmered for 4 hours, and the ingredients include freshly picked vegetables and radishes from the garden, as well as homemade cured pork and sausages—a truly delicious and flavorful experience. If you prefer not to have hot pot, you can reserve a barbecue in the courtyard, grilling pork belly and corn, enjoying drinks under the stars in a truly ambiance. - Activities: Winter Countryside Activities - Countryside Hiking: The resort features its own dedicated trails along the fields. In winter, these trails are less crowded, allowing you to stroll along the stone paths through wheat fields and orchards, watching sparrows flit across the fields and perhaps even encountering farmers tending their gardens—a genuine taste of rural life. The viewing platform at the end of the hike offers a stunning panoramic view of the entire winter countryside. - Farmhouse Craft Experiences: The resort regularly hosts activities such as making preserved meats, jam making, and straw weaving. Spend a winter afternoon with your children making a jar of jam or a small straw ornament – ​​a truly rewarding experience. The lobby bookstore boasts a vast collection of books on rural life and pastoral literature. Snuggle on the sofa with a book and tea, and enjoy the snowy countryside views outside the window – time seems to slow down. Practical Tips 1. Essential Items: Winter temperatures in the countryside are low and frost is common, so be sure to bring a down jacket, scarf, gloves, and non-slip sneakers; bring a swimsuit for the private hot springs; signal strength is weak in some areas, so download movies or books beforehand. 2. Other: Convenience stores are scarce around the resort, so bring some snacks and drinks; the butlers are very helpful and can ask for recommendations on lesser-known snowscape spots and local farmhouse cuisine, unlocking more hidden experiences.
