Shaoxing, I came to this city full of ancient charm when I was a child, but my memory is not very clear. Years later, my revisit allowed me to rediscover the beauty of this city. Shaoxing, Zhuji, Shengzhou, and Xinchang have comprehensively experienced Shaoxing's culture and beauty from various aspects. If I were to talk about the appearance of Shaoxing in my heart, it would be "half of it is the ancient town sentiment, half of it is the scenery"~
This time, I also had a dream come true, which was to wear Hanfu and take a boat trip to Jianhu. I am also grateful to my friend Huanhuan for taking the super beautiful Hanfu video, which left a deep impression on my beautiful autumn. The videos in this travelogue are all produced by Huanhuan~

Lu Xun's Hometown: The softest is always the Jiangnan sentiment

If we use "softness" to describe Jiangnan, it shouldn't be too much. Jiangnan is always gentle, whether it's gardens, small bridges, or flowing water, gently and slowly immerse oneself in the scenery of Jiangnan~

The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan at the beginning of the recently popular "Dream of China" is basically like this. I found it in Shaoxing, couldn't put it down, and couldn't record the endless little beauty~
The hometown of Lu Xun, an ancient town integrated into Shaoxing, is a part of life and a reflection of it. This is the place where Lu Xun lived as a child, and the classic route is "Lu Xun's Ancestral Residence - Sanwei Bookstore - Baicaoyuan". We have also experienced the trajectory of literati's past life along this route.

The swaying Wupeng boat in front of the river is one of the oldest modes of transportation for the people of Shaoxing. If there is enough time, you can take the Wupeng boat to shuttle through the city of Shaoxing and better experience its ancient charm.

Green tiles and pink walls, brick and wood structures, we pass through one hall after another of Lu Xun's ancestral residence, and the traces of our past life have been preserved, which is also the appearance of old Shaoxing life.

Pushing open a wooden window to see the scenery outside, was it also Lu Xun's favorite thing to do when he was a child?

Passing through the ancestral home and the small bridge, the entrance of Sanwei Bookstore was filled with welcoming boats. This is the boarding point of Lu Xun's hometown.

The appearance of Jiangnan is probably a scene surrounded by a window, which is both light and lively, and elegant in tranquility.

Sanwei Bookstore was an ancient private school and also the place where Lu Xun studied for five years. The third room is the most famous "Sanwei Bookstore", which is clearly recorded in "From Baicaoyuan to Sanwei Bookstore".

Finally, there is the former residence of Lu Xun, where the Hundred Grass Garden is located, passing through various halls before finally arriving

The Baicaoyuan is indeed not small, and there are many vegetables planted. There is a gate that leads to another dock, and the life in the Jiangnan water town is mostly like this: "Transportation boats stop in front of the gate.".

At the end of our former residence is the Shaoxing social drama. As we passed by, we were performing it. Although we didn't quite understand it, the melody still made us interested in slowly savoring it~

After visiting Lu Xun's hometown, it is recommended that everyone stroll around the streets. In the bustling and quiet places, there are always some delightful scenery and surprises that need to be discovered~

The tranquility of the ancient town in Jiangnan, the comfort of small bridges and flowing water, the pink walls, black tiles, and moss green stone slabs are all the sediment of the water town's time~
Listening to the sound of flowing water, watching the swaying canopies, the light and shadow change, time slows down, and the scenery in Jiangnan is always so gentle~

Huangjiu Museum: A Wine City

When it comes to Shaoxing, one immediately thinks of Huangjiu. As the capital of Huangjiu in China, it seems that many things are closely related to Huangjiu nowadays. Not only Huangjiu, but also Huangjiu ice cream, Huangjiu milk tea, and culture... In short, we should learn about Shaoxing from "Huangjiu".

Whenever I mention Huangjiu, even as someone who doesn't touch it, I can feel the rich aroma of Huangjiu in the air, and the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it becomes. Just like the ancient city of Shaoxing, the more it is tasted, the more unforgettable it becomes.

The Huangjiu Museum not only provides historical explanations, the production of Huangjiu, but also offers a wine tasting experience. If you are interested in wine culture, you must not miss it!

The brewing history of Chinese liquor is very long, with the earliest use of rice for brewing dating back to 9000 years ago. In the long river of history, constantly improving brewing techniques, improving control over wine, and developing the commercial industry of wine have all made wine an indispensable part of people's daily lives.

The brewing of Shaoxing liquor was very common during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it had become a tribute. The rich and delicious taste of Shaoxing liquor is the perfect combination of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, fresh and astringent flavors, with an endless aftertaste.
Of course, not only the raw materials and environment, but also the water used for brewing is very particular. Shaoxing liquor must use the water from Jianhu Lake~

As a good etiquette product, yellow rice wine has also been constantly matched with modern fashion design style and packaging. Seeing so many beautiful outer packaging of yellow rice wine, I also admired the Shaoxing people's intentions for the yellow rice wine industry, such as the theme of "The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting".

The exhibition area on the first floor also features various exquisite displays of yellow wine, including some commemorative wines from collaborations. Because Huangjiu becomes thicker and more fragrant as it is added, there is a custom of storing Huangjiu.

Huangjiu is also an essential way to entertain guests during various wedding festivals in Zhejiang Province. Daughter's Red is a famous type. When a family gives birth to a daughter, they bury her as a dowry, which has become a folk custom.

The exhibition hall on the second floor introduces the brewing process and its evolution from ancient times to the present, allowing everyone to better understand the brewing of yellow wine.

Amidst the strong aroma of Huangjiu, we are mesmerized by the ancient flavor of Shaoxing at the entrance of the Huangjiu Museum, the tranquil houses by the river, and the ancient bridge of Guangxiang, which is filled with a sense of time on the river. It is rare to find a tranquility far from the secular world.

Shen Yuan Night Tour: The poignant love between Lu You and Tang Wan

Visiting Jiangnan gardens at night is also a must have a unique flavor.
Here, listen to a performance of Yue Opera, the poignant love story between Lu You and Tang Wan, and feel the regret of life.

Near the full moon, the entire garden is enveloped in light and moonlight, gentle and elegant. Walking in the corridor, it seems like a time travel of night has arrived.

Night tour of Shen Garden, with a unique atmosphere, allows one to experience the beauty of the garden from another perspective. Along the path, we marched towards the performance venue, winding paths and winding paths. Our already flowing thoughts had already traveled back to that era

This is a performance that tells the poignant love story between Lu You and Tang Wan, starting and ending in Shen Yuan. We yearn for a beautiful and dedicated love, and the wonderful dance and melody at the beginning deeply infect us, experiencing the joy and beauty of their love.

When the "heavy rain" poured down, it was the moment of parting. Unexpectedly, this parting ended the beautiful marriage they had hoped for. Lu's mother's interference in it eventually made this relationship a regret.

When we met again, although the misunderstanding was resolved, the matter was settled and irreparable, and both of them were deeply saddened. Later, he wrote "Hairpin and Phoenix" one after another, depicting the pain of falling in love but not being able to stay together, which has been passed down through the ages in the lyrics... "Red and tender hands, yellow wine, and the walls and willows of the palace are full of spring; the east wind is evil, with thin joy, and a melancholy heart. Years of separation are wrong, wrong, wrong. Spring is like the old, empty and thin, with tears and red shark like silk. Peach blossoms fall, leisurely pools and pavilions, and although mountain alliances are present, it is difficult to rely on brocade books. Mo, Mo, Mo."

We are moved by their love story and hope that all lovers in the world can eventually get married~
Following the garden scene design on stage, it feels like an immersive experience, and we are all deeply immersed in their love stories and unable to extricate ourselves

I am willing to go boating on Jianhu Lake

This early autumn, I fulfilled a dream,
Wearing Hanfu, sitting on an open boat, holding an oil paper umbrella, walking in the lake
This is a dream about Jiangnan,
It's also a dream about ancient charm.

Ke Yan is one of the famous scenic spots in Shaoxing. It not only has a unique stone landscape, but also a vast lake view and a small town with an ancient charm. Step by step, the scenery satisfies my desire for Shaoxing.
Ke Yan's own history can be traced back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, so ancient bridges and buildings are full of a sense of time. With just a snap, they can all become ancient style blockbusters.

Walking through the dense forest, this is the most Zen inspired part of Ke Yan. The lotus, the courtyard, all slowly calmed our hearts.

The most spectacular thing about Ke Yan is undoubtedly the stone Buddha, who can be seen from a distance with the Buddha statue carved in the strange stones, standing in awe.
The former quarry, with the introduction of religion, gave rise to the Heavenly Buddha we see today.

The trees around the Buddha statue are covered with prayer signs, and as the wind blows, countless voices from the soul can be heard.

Due to the excellent stone materials, the Keyan area has been a place for mining stones in surrounding areas since ancient times, which has given rise to various magical shaped stone carving art. It is also a magical scenic line of the Keyan Scenic Area. We walked along the road below the mountain wall and admired it all the way.

Passing through the forest and square, suddenly it became clear. The stone bridge and stage caught my eye, and the world was quietly reflected on the lake. The shimmering waves were so gentle, which was the feeling this scenery gave me.

Walking along the ancient bridge in front of the stage and holding an oil paper umbrella is the most beautiful scenery in Jiangnan.

From the dock to Lu Town, there is another essence experience of Ke Yan Scenic Area - the Wupeng Boat. For this "ancient boating" scene, I thought day and night, and finally realized this dream.

The oars stirred the lake water, causing ripples. The boat swayed slightly, crossing one ancient bridge after another. Time passed quietly, and time was quiet

The destination of Wupeng Boat is the ancient town of Shaoxing - Luzhen, which not only boasts beautiful ancient buildings but also authentic Shaoxing snacks. Along the way, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Shaoxing.

Here, we have the most beautiful scenery in Jiangnan, enjoy the tranquility of the place, and enjoy the beauty of time alone. Wearing Hanfu, we slowly stroll along the lakeside, as if we have traveled back to that era

The real version of Yunding Heavenly Palace

Surrounded by the mountain road, this destination is full of mystery. The friends who have been there all say that this is a stunning scenery, which makes me curious about Doulutian Palace. The excellent weather also adds anticipation to the itinerary.
The Longhua Temple halfway up the mountain is the first stop, and the temple faces the Doulutian Temple across the mountain.

As the car reached the mountaintop, the pure white building and the golden lotus roof suddenly caught our attention. The beauty of architecture is constantly praised, giving off a feeling of "Cloud Top Heavenly Palace".
The whole Douli Temple is divided into the seven treasure walls of the base, the interior of the Temple and the lotus roof. The white part of the building is made of White Marble. To enter the Heavenly Palace, everyone must climb up the Seven Treasures Wall in a winding and winding way, representing a devout path towards the Buddha with one heart.

The interior of the Heavenly Palace enshrines the future Maitreya Buddha and is also the world's largest indoor seated Buddha. When we enter the inner courtyard, we are all amazed by this surreal indoor architecture, which is breathtaking!

The top platform also features a fountain for the twelve zodiac animals, making it even more spectacular to enjoy the lotus throne from here. I imagine that when clouds and mist rise in the mountains, there is an atmosphere of "Heavenly Palace".
To the west lies Potala, and to the east lies Dou Ledtian, which is truly one of the places worth exploring in Shaoxing!

Shaoxing Qiaobo: The Covenant of Ice and Snow in Summer

At the beginning of this year, the Winter Olympics were held in full swing in China, which also sparked a wave of skiing enthusiasm. Those who knew it or not met up at ski resorts to release their love for ice and snow sports.
One of the most popular ski resorts in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai postal areas is Shaoxing Qiaobo. Summer is the best place to go for off-season skiing. I am no exception. At the beginning of this year, I started surfing on land, and from a certain sports perspective, there are many similarities between Lu Chong and skiing, which makes me even more eager to try

And as we all know, at the beginning, the most common ski resort in China was double board. This year, single board is definitely the mainstream~indeed, single board has higher playability~
Get your ski suit, shoes, helmet, gloves, and board ready to start ice and snow sports. The ski resort has two ski slopes, and there are obstacles on the right side for freestyle skiing.

There are so many skilled skiers in the venue, and everyone's beautiful skiing skills have left us all amazed and praised. These are all technical skills that will take many years to master!

Our coach Xiao Deng, he is a national level athlete, and his skills are really impressive!

What should I do if I don't know how to ski? Let's take a photo first. This is the girl's play mode!

Alright, let's talk about skiing. For the first time skiing, even if you have skateboarding experience, you won't directly go to this step of skiing. The first thing you need to learn is braking, which is pushing slopes. Learning braking well can help you better and safer snowboarding. Pushing slopes is also a technical skill. For beginners, it is necessary to control the squat angle and leg force to achieve balance. There were several times when I almost relaxed and slipped out! Under the patient guidance of the coach, I have already started pushing slopes, right?!
No matter how my personal abilities progress, if I want to learn skiing, I need to keep learning and improving day by day. My first experience of skiing has made me really enjoy it, and I hope to have another opportunity to improve this year

Keqiao Ancient Town: Light has painted a fairyland on earth

On this Mid Autumn Festival night, I found the moon within reach in the water town of Jiangnan
This is Keqiao, and there is a gameplay called "Night Tour Keqiao". When the lights are on, Keqiao is colorful and dreamlike, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the unique flavor of Keqiao scenery

Keqiao is one of the ancient towns with a long history in Shaoxing. The Keshui River flows through it, and the bridge is named after the water. The town is named after the bridge.
At night, lights are hung everywhere in the ancient town, and the flavor of Chinese festivals is particularly strong. If you wear Hanfu, it will provide a more immersive experience

The ancient town is not very large, and the bustling areas are mainly concentrated on both sides of the river. The corridors along the river lead to the confluence of three ancient bridges, and the light show of Rongguang Square illuminates the smiles on everyone's faces.

The night in the ancient town is full of charm, and the night in the ancient town is like a fairyland in the human world due to the light. The ripples of water and the luster of light painting alternate with each other, making me suddenly have an illusion in the recent hot "Water Cloud Sky".

I didn't expect the night in the ancient town to be so beautiful. It's the gentle hometown in everyone's heart. When the night gets late, there's such an impulse to weave a beautiful dream together with this beauty.

In addition to the main river, there are many rivers and alleys in the entire ancient town where you can stroll. Although there are not many people, it adds a sense of tranquility and allows you to enjoy the beauty of the ancient town alone

Let's listen to the story of a tree in Xiangrui Forest Park

Many foodies must know about Chinese torreya seeds, a delicious nut snack. And he is also very good for his body, moisturizing the lungs and intestines, etc.~So here we have to talk about the fragrant torreya seeds from Zhejiang!
Although many regions in China have fragrant Chinese torreya trees, Zhejiang is the place with the most and most well preserved fragrant Chinese torreya trees. There are many ancient Chinese torreya trees, and today we will come to Zhuji to search for a tree

Following the ridge and winding up the mountain, we arrived at a place almost at the top of the mountain, where there was a pavilion with a beautiful view in the distance. On the way, I met several villagers who were all picking Chinese torreya here. It's almost the season of maturity!

The villages in this mountain range all rely on Chinese torreya for their livelihood. There are many Chinese torreya trees, and the protection of ancient trees is better. The tree we are looking at is the "tree king among ancient trees"!
The torreya trees in this area have always been at the level of tribute since ancient times, and are named after their excellent quality. The growth cycle of Chinese torreya trees is very slow, with three years of fruit growing on the same tree. Therefore, it must be manually picked, and after complex processing techniques, we finally have the delicious Chinese torreya seeds that come with our mouths open.

The ancient Chinese torreya tree has intertwined roots, and each branch and leaf has recorded the story of over a thousand years of time. Every Chinese torreya we eat is a Chinese torreya with a story!

In addition to seeing ancient trees, you can also take the local hiking trails here. Unlike highways, this place has winding paths and winding paths. According to colleagues, there are also rare small animals to experience the fun of mountain climbing

The Five Waterfalls are connected, and the flying stream flows straight down

It's not the first time I've had five ejaculations, but I still remember that summer when my parents brought me here. As someone who loves to play with water, I was immediately attracted by these green mountains and waterfalls. Appreciating the scenery is only a part, playing in the water is the majority for me! Due to the unique natural landscape of Wuxie, there are many places where people can go down to the water for fun. For those who enjoy a slightly complex and interesting environment, they can play with water by the stream. For those who enjoy a wide and picturesque area, they can play in the fifth pond. They don't care about the place, but only seek the coolness of the water. For those who enjoy playing with the water, they can see it and play with it~
Still a lush green reservoir, a sense of familiarity fills one's face. You need to take a boat to enter, and Wuxie is such a mysterious place, and before entering, you have no idea of its appearance.

After more than ten minutes of sailing, the ship landed on the shore, but Wuxie still hasn't seen a trace of her figure. She still needs to walk to change to a shuttle bus and then walk there. The first-time tourists have already been sold out, and I can't wait!

Through the memorial archway and the shade of trees, the first thing you can see is the Wuxie Temple. According to the Chinese geomancy, this place is a treasure land of geomancy, so the temple was built. In ancient times, it was one of the local famous temples, and the incense fire was flourishing!

This time I came to Wuxie, I still saw a new look. Wuxie Zen Temple has been renovated and built since the Tang Dynasty. It has a long history and has always been a bustling Zen temple in the local area. Walking slowly around the temple, I can feel the tranquility of Zen.

Passing through the temple, the first place to play in the water has already appeared. Although there are not many tourists this season, you can still see people looking for steps and streams. The water here is shallow and relatively gentle, which is very suitable for children to play in the water. However, if you want to see the spectacular scenery of Wuxie, you cannot stop here~

"Roaming and rumbling..." Before seeing him, we heard his voice, which urged us to accelerate our steps forward... Suddenly, a waterfall like a white practice hung before us, with a majestic momentum that surprised everyone.

As someone who is familiar with the world, I have started playing with water on the rocks. It's such a hot season

This is the end of the five leaks... Eh? You will surely be curious to ask, isn't this the first waterfall? Of course not. The Five Waterfalls are five cascading waterfalls that fly down from the highest point, labeled from top to bottom as one to five. Because one turns into one, the complex terrain in the mountains creates a completely different Five Waterfalls, which will be even more surprising to everyone!

And this fifth discharge, descending from a pillar like a dragon out of the sea, is also the most common form of waterfall for us. And the flatness of the fifth discharge has become a good place for everyone to play in the water. The cool mountain water washes over the ankles, sweeping away the scorching heat after summer sports~

It's not so easy to see the fourth leak, just climb over a hill to reach the small pavilion above the fifth leak, and this is where the fourth leak is located.

The fourth discharge rushes out from behind a giant rock, slightly shy but still enchanting

Crossing the fourth pond and climbing up the stairs, you will soon arrive at the observation deck of the third discharge. The third waterfall is the widest and most beautiful among the five waterfalls, with an S-shaped enchanting figure and the rushing water of the rolling waterfall. It is magnificent... If the water is abundant during the season, this waterfall is as majestic as the water falling from a mountain pass. Watching it from bottom to top, there is inevitably a great sense of pressure!

Observing the water of this waterfall, one cannot help but feel various feelings of liking and longing for a long time, unwilling to leave

Climbing to the top of the three ejaculations, one can see the second ejaculation. The second ejaculation is very small, as if a quiet girl is waiting for your arrival while reading a book.
Originally, it was possible to enter the water here, so I was afraid of danger, so I closed the trail down to the edge of the pond. However, when coming out to play, safety is still important!

Not far from the second discharge is the first discharge, with half of the waterfall water flowing around a circular hole, like a moon cage gauze. Although the first and second ejaculation have no momentum of the last three ejaculations, there is actually a small cute feeling.
We, who don't have much time, can stop here and turn back. If there is a day, we can continue to climb to the top and enjoy a distant view. The scenery of the small stream and jungle in the back mountain is also not to be missed. However, compared to the grandeur of Wuxie, the back mountain may become calmer!

I have enjoyed the rare coolness and pleasure here for most of the day, and even playing in the water can still bring me endless satisfaction!

As one of the five major Chinese operas, Yue Opera, although developed in Shanghai, originated in Shengzhou, Zhejiang. We have come to the hometown of Yueju in Shengzhou this time to experience the most authentic flavor of Yueju.
Yue Opera is not only an intangible cultural heritage, but also a second national drama. The main style of Yue Opera is its gentle and melodious singing, full of classical elegance, and very Jiangnan style.
The Yue Opera Town was also built to let more people understand the Yue Opera in Shengzhou, and from the introduction of ancient architecture, it has a taste of Jiangnan. The magnificent caisson at the top of the lobby, used for amplification in ancient times, is both magnificent and beautiful.

There are many places to listen to Yueju in Yueju Town to meet the needs of Yueju enthusiasts, and there are really many fans. The small rooms are filled with seats

The performance stage in the ancient theater is very grand, and it must be a place that many Yue Opera people aspire to. We are also fortunate to experience the charm of Yue Opera in such a luxurious place.

The female Yueju actors in costumes sang Yueju, moved their movements, and swung their sleeves, performing touching scenes. We were also attracted by this beautiful melody.

The Yueju Town is very large, with a wide range of dining, accommodation, and entertainment options. To be honest, the restaurant is really delicious~the accommodation is quite modern in style. At night, you can still take a walk in the small town and immerse yourself in the antique night

Exploring Ancient Temples and Appreciating Zen Thoughts in Xinchang Dafo Temple

Xinchang Dafo Temple, often mentioned during my parents' generation, is a very famous temple in the Jiangnan region. However, for our generation, a TV drama that is difficult to reconcile with makes us want to make up for those regrets.
Following "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu", we embarked on a check-in TV scene tour.

In the early morning, the Great Buddha Temple was already crowded, and with the crowd, we struggled to find a peaceful place on the lush green avenue.

Walking through Foxin Square, getting deeper into the mountains, this is the road to the ancient temple of the Southern Dynasty. This temple gate is also one of the scenes in "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu", walking on the stone steps and taking the appropriate path of birth and time.

Whenever I arrive at such an ancient temple, it is so quiet that I dare not speak loudly. I slowly listen to the sound of the wind, the swaying leaves, and the sound of water flow, which are probably the key to understanding Zen.

The yellow walls of the temple have a unique flavor, and walking under an umbrella is magnificent. There are corridors on both sides of the temple, so don't miss the beauty of elegance.

The yellow wall corridor that Shiyi later walked through, the memories of the past, and those regrets, ultimately became a difficult thing to calm in everyone's hearts.

Passing through the long corridor, you will find the most precious Maitreya Buddha statue in the ancient temple of the Southern Dynasty, protected by a pavilion outside. This Buddha statue is known as the largest Buddha in Jiangnan, directly carved on the cliff, with a majestic momentum. Unfortunately, it is still an 18 month maintenance fee and unable to see the true appearance, which is actually a regret.

We almost missed the most classic check-in platform and one of the important scenes, which was supposed to end. This is also a very realistic scene from a TV series. When we finished filming, a bitter feeling came from our hearts.

Another highlight of the Dafo Temple is the Thousand Buddha Rock and the Sleeping Buddha on the other side, which are the only remaining early grotto statues in southern China and are known as the "Dunhuang of the Yue Kingdom".

The statue of Qianfo Rock predates the Great Buddha, and the entire cave is densely packed with walls. It is also rare in the Southern Dynasties, so it is particularly precious.

The Sleeping Buddha is the Buddha's auspicious Buddha of Nirvana. It was excavated in a cave and is also the first sleeping Buddha in Asia. The exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen are highly praised.

Below the reclining Buddha is a carved cliff with a waterfall, which is spectacular, but from the sky, one can even feel the wisdom of ancient people!

The entire area of the Dafo Temple is surrounded by mountains, with mountains on its back and water on its surface, making it a treasure trove of feng shui. On the opposite hill, you can also see a statue of Maitreya Buddha. If you have enough time, next time you must visit a complete Buddhist temple and fully understand the essence of Zen~

【 Xu Wei Art Museum 】 Pure white, concise, subtraction art

In the ancient city of Shaoxing, we found a low-key and easy to take place - the Xuwei Art Museum, which is adjacent to Cangqiao Street and coexists with the ancient street. This is also the hometown of artist Xu Wei.

Although the exhibition has been re arranged recently, it does not affect our ability to capture every beautiful moment of this art museum. Organize a modern architectural style that is transparent, pure, and concise, so that everyone who comes here can first clear their mind

Although it is a modern architecture, the decoration of each tree and stool seems to be intentional and unintentional, but it is just right. When reflecting on Xu Wei's works, it also creates an artistic dream of ancient style for oneself.

My favorite is the calligraphy exhibition hall on the first floor. I have never seen such a beautiful calligraphy exhibition before. As people shuttle through the hanging calligraphy banners, the taste of new Chinese style immediately rises. Unfortunately, there are no light and shadow shows now. The presentation of art always gives me a new and exciting experience every time.

Many small scenes outside the venue are also very easy to shoot. Don't miss them because they are too sunny. The combination of ancient elements and modern design, low-key and elegant, is also the most popular new China-Chic style~

Half of the fireworks, half of the life on Cangqiao Direct Street

Shaoxing itself is an ancient city, with many ancient streets to search for. This time, we arrived at Cangqiao Zhijie. In a very modern city, I stumbled upon a river with a long and profound ancient street area on one side. I slowly felt the shuttle of time and also experienced the most authentic charm of Shaoxing city~

The alleyway, with its gentle curves, allows us to slowly delve deeper into this ancient area. The buildings here are mostly built in the late Qing and early Ming dynasties, and are well preserved. Walking on the cobblestone road, we can see all the stories of Shaoxing ancient dwellings.

Shaoxing is also a water town, with rivers everywhere. Where there are rivers, there are ancient streets, and where there are ancient streets, there is a sense of life. Standing on the ancient stone bridge, watch the tranquility of this undisturbed water town.

Different bridges and river sections have different flavors, either rich in ancient charm or leisurely life, all presented by ancient streets with different flavors. Indulging in them, quietly watching the water flow and reflection, is a pleasant experience.

As more and more people come to Cangqiao Zhijie, it is no longer just an ordinary ancient street or water town. Here, various cultural and artistic elements have emerged. Coffee shops, live streaming, and cultural creativity have all brought the old streets of Shaoxing into a new era. In the new era, the old memories will still be there, allowing more people to experience the beauty of Shaoxing's continuous development.

Cangqiao Direct Street is adjacent to the historical district of Yuewang City, so when we admire it from a high altitude, the ancient charm of Shaoxing City is displayed in front of us. The fusion of old and new is also the most unique business card of this city.

As I walked, I accidentally walked into the living area of Cangqiao. During the day, many elderly people sat in the alleys chatting, while dogs walked freely and cicadas chirped. The life of the old Shaoxing people was full of comfort.

If there is a moment that I can't forget, it must be the night on the ancient street. At the moment of nightfall, the colorful lights lit up, and in the old street below the sapphire blue, there was infinite vitality, a lively atmosphere, and extraordinary liveliness.

Taking a walk with friends on this ancient street is both romantic and enjoyable. Romantic is the slow pace of time, while enjoying this colorful and ancient atmosphere.
