This is a very romantic milk tea shop, the main product is "rice wine milk tea". The closer you get, the more you will find a different world. In addition to rice wine peripheral products, there are also osmanthus wine, etc.
The milk tea shop across the road from Lu Xun's former residence and at the intersection of Shenyuan Road is actually the closed Huijingxuan shop on Lanting Street. I bought rice wine milk tea, 20 yuan a cup, an old price! There was nothing special in the mouth. The wine taste was very strong towards the end. It seemed important to shake it when drinking, but the store did not give any friendly reminder!

I was in Shaoxing during the Chinese New Year, met a friend, and wandered around the scenic spot in the evening. This traditional old store had a lot of people queuing at the takeaway window, waiting for a new pot of Shengjian to come out of the pot.
The original picture was not too concerned about the angle, and the taste did not leave a deep impression. It was quite satisfactory, with plenty of fillings, and the price-performance ratio was relatively good. There were many people eating in the store, and there were also many locals. The scenic spots are not far away, so you can check in by the way.
Tongxinlou's Shengjianbao is a popular place. There is always a queue every time I go there. Although the price has increased, there are still many people buying it. I like the bottom of the Shengjianbao, which is crispy and crispy. It is delicious with a little vinegar. The skin is a little thick. It would be better if it was thinner. Because it is not very convenient, I basically go there every weekend to eat. The wontons are also a must-order.

This is a popular online restaurant, but it is also ranked first in Shaoxing noodles. I came here specifically to eat here. There were many young people queuing up. The taste of the combination of stinky tofu and kimchi is really good. I had a deluxe set meal, and it was a great group purchase price.
I have a special liking for their crispy chicken pancakes. I would buy one whenever I pass by. I ordered the most original and authentic crispy chicken pancakes. They are freshly made so I have to wait a while. The scallion pancakes are filled with delicious crispy chicken and I also ordered sweet and sour kimchi. I was very satisfied after eating one.

On the way to Shaoxing Museum, the driver told us that the Ciwu noodles at the intersection of Cangqiaozhi Street tasted authentic and were loved by locals.
After visiting the museum, we walked to the store without stopping. There was a seat, so we ordered a bowl of three-fresh noodles and beef noodles. The three-fresh noodles were especially delicious. There were local river shrimps and tender bamboo shoots in the noodles, and tofu skin. The taste was unique and refreshing. Not only did I finish the noodles, but I almost drank up the soup.
We went there during the Chinese New Year. We lined up in the evening to get a number. We were told to wait for an hour. Wow... Why? Because he only makes one in each pot, and it has a strong smell. The operation room is transparent and clean.
The ingredients are rich and substantial, with a lot of meat, and the meat is very tender. The combination of ingredients makes the taste rich, tomatoes, winter bamboo shoots, bean sprouts... The noodles are very tasty. It's worth waiting for an hour, and it takes about the same time to walk around and come back.

It is completely different from the stinky tofu in Changsha. It is delicious, crispy and fragrant.
Slow down and experience the poetic charm of the Jiangnan water towns. 🍃 Enjoy a three-day immersive tour of Shaoxing, an ancient city cherished by time, reminiscent of the everyday life of Lu Xun.
🚶Three-day itinerary:
Day 1: The Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown → Cangqiao Street → Night Tour of Chen Garden
Wander through the Sage of Calligraphy's hometown and experience the old streets where Wang Xizhi lived. The whitewashed walls of Cai Yuanpei's former residence embody the spirit of a scholar. In the evening, turn onto Cangqiao Street and sit in a riverside teahouse to watch the wupeng boats pass by. For dinner, we recommend the drunken chicken and fennel beans at the Xianheng Hotel. After nightfall, visit Chen Garden to listen to Yue Opera. The deep courtyard, accompanied by the lyrics of "Chaitoufeng," transports you back to the Southern Song Dynasty.
Day 2: Lu Xun's Hometown → Bazi Bridge → Xixiaolu Historic District
Wake up early to avoid the crowds and explore Lu Xun's hometown. From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, scenes straight out of textbooks are authentically recreated. In the afternoon, at Baji Bridge, I watched an old lady picking vegetables in front of her house. I bought a cup of rice wine and milk tea to enjoy while walking. West Lane is sparsely populated, offering stunning waterside photos. Don't forget to stop by Tongxin Tower for freshly-fried shengjianbao (steamed buns).
Day 3: East Lake → Anchang Ancient Town
Take a sail boat tour of East Lake, where the waterways beneath the sheer cliffs offer a unique experience. In the afternoon, I took a 40-minute taxi to Anchang Ancient Town. Under the porch, where the aroma of sausage wafted through the air, I watched locals drying marinated duck and pulling sugar. I tried a Shiye wonton and bought a handmade oil-paper umbrella as a souvenir.
🍵 Shaoxing on the Tip of Your Tongue:
▫️Huijingxuan Yellow Wine Popsicles, 241 Luxun Middle Road
▫️Old Street Stinky Tofu, Intersection of Jiefang North Road and Xiaoshan Street
▫️Naiyou Xiaopan, 548 Xinjian South Road
▫️Shaoxing Drunken Crab, Xianheng Hotel Chinese Restaurant
📮Practical Tips:
1. It's best to buy a combined ticket for all the celebrity residences.
2. It's recommended to experience the Wupeng Boat ride at East Lake, where the waterway is more pristine.
3. Anchang Ancient Town has a special water wedding performance every Friday.
4. If you want to take photos of empty spaces, it's best to leave by 7:00 AM, as tour groups arrive after 9:00 AM.
Remember to bring a silk umbrella as a prop and wear a plain cheongsam or Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) to capture the action. Dream of Jiangnan amidst the waterways and stone bridges. #ShaoxingTravelGuide #JiangnanWaterVillageWandering #UniqueAncientTownCheck-In #LuXunHometown #YellowWineCulture

Located on Yintai Huifang Street, Qishigang is next to a pickled fish restaurant. The store is decorated in an antique style. A family of three ordered a special fried noodles and fried noodles with trough meat, and two special chicken soups.
The pickled radish in the store is free and self-service, and you can take it on demand. The taste is not bad.
Although the fried noodles with trough meat are 8 yuan more expensive than the special fried noodles, there is not much trough meat in it, and it is more fat, with very little lean meat. The taste is okay, and free dried vegetable soup is provided.
I remember that the chicken soup used to have chicken offal, egg white, etc. It looks much lighter now, but the taste is okay, and one bowl is also very full.
I took my son out to play, and my husband chose Qishigang for lunch.
The store is quite spacious and has many seats. Order and take a card and wait for the meal. You can take side dishes for free, but don't waste them.
The vegetable fried rice is quite large, with a lot of eggs and vegetables, and the taste is quite satisfactory.
The chicken soup feels that the ingredients are less than before, and the soup is a little thinner, but the taste is still good.
The beef vermicelli burger tastes a little spicy, with a few pieces of beef, vegetables, mushrooms and vermicelli, and the taste is average.
As for the squeezed noodles, my husband also added oil residue and said it was delicious.
Overall, I feel that I can eat enough, but it is not as delicious as before.

Located in Shaoxing, in the Lu Xun Hometown Scenic Area, on Luxun Middle Road, you can always smell the aroma of fried stinky tofu every few dozen meters, which is appetizing. It is a standard dim sum delicacy in the water towns of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with affordable prices and a delicious taste that will sink your soul in one bite.
In the Lu Xun Former Residence Scenic Area in Shaoxing, you can stroll around and enjoy the cultural customs and eat local snacks. The Old Shaoxing Stinky Tofu is located on the commercial street of the scenic area. It is run by two local grandmothers. They fry and sell it on the spot, and it tastes good.

The fish are all freshly killed, and you can see how fresh they are. The freshly fried crispy fish is delicious.
‼ ️Recommended by Shaoxing natives: A collection of gourmet shops that don’t need marketing
As a native of Shaoxing for 30 years
I have sorted out my private collection of small shops for tourists by flipping through my mobile phone album:
📍Aguo Restaurant: Mostly local diners, good business, remember to make an appointment in advance! Recommended scallion kidney, fried shrimp, and eel shreds. The boss lady is a bit impatient. Open on the eighth day of the first lunar month
📍Fengle Restaurant: A 30-year-old restaurant, the menu has not changed! Traditional Shaoxing dishes, recommended: fried bell, stir-fried three diced, vinegar 🐟, Shaoxing three fresh. Open on the eighth day of the first lunar month
📍Huangyiqiao Restaurant: Lu Xun’s hometown, an inconspicuous little shop on the side of Cangqiao Street! Scallion duck and thousand knots are must-orders! If you mind the environment, go to Xunbaoji and Shaodongjia in the scenic area, which are not far away. Chinese New Year holiday
📍Hebutou Restaurant: Traditional Shaoxing cuisine, near Xixiao Road, with many pickles, moldy vegetables, steamed dishes, and cooked food with old Shaoxing characteristics. Closed during the Chinese New Year, open after the 7th and 8th of the first lunar month, you can go there during normal travel.
📍Shangdingxian: A specialty noodle restaurant, because of the bullfrog noodles and pickled fish noodles, you can try the fried crispy fish cubes. The dried plum dumplings at Wang's Steamed Dumplings next door are also good (I can't find the picture)
📍Axing Triangle Dumplings: Shaoxing Xinchang specialty, recommended dried plum soup dumplings, minced meat and tofu noodles! The soul code is fermented bean curd!
📍Master Zheng's Shaobing Youtiao: A shop that only serves breakfast in the south of the city, a little far from the scenic spot. Shaobing, Youtiao, salty soy milk, small wontons, noodle buns... I have eaten them for many years
📍Xiaoyang Snacks: There are breakfasts and lunches, and it also specializes in carbohydrates. The noodles here are all good, with traditional Shaoxing-style toppings and alkaline noodles
📍Hangzhou Lao Noodle House: The shop is small and has been open for many years, a bit like Hangzhou Sichuan, recommended: leeks and pork, green vegetables and oil residue noodles...
📍Tongxinlou: An old internet celebrity for many years, it is still a shop loved by many locals. Shengjian is the most famous, and you have to queue
📍Taoji Crispy Fish: An old shop on East Street, the crispy fish with soup is delicious, and the others are average.
📍Wujia Big Meat Bun: Usually open 24 hours a day, mainly snacks, big meat buns are the specialty, 8 yuan each, bigger than the palm! There are also small wontons, noodle buns, steamed buns and other carbohydrates
📍Taoyuan Restaurant: It is also a small shop that only locals can find! 2006 to date, delicious and no disappointment! Recommended fried bell, scallion oil kidney
📍Lingjiang Restaurant: Next to Ejing Yayuan in the west of the city, it is also an old restaurant that has just opened. Pepper and salt spare ribs, stir-fried three-diced with sauce, and drunken chicken are must-orders every time.
📍Yuji Noodle House: The delicious Ciwu noodles in Jinghu! I usually have lunch there during the week! My order king: stir-fried beef noodle soup, large intestine noodles, pork liver noodles
📍Happiness Noodle House: An old internet celebrity in the Shaoxing noodle restaurant industry. Also in Jinghu, Juanwang near Yuji, waits for about an hour on weekdays. The toppings of the Sichuan stir-fry are all good, but the soup noodles are slightly inferior.
📍Fang's Claypot Rice: Locals go to eat his fried skewers! Open only in the afternoon. Recommended: potato slices (thin like Lay's), fried spare ribs, rice cakes (salty sesame paste when I was a child), tenderloin, lotus root slices... Some netizens reported that they would calculate the money wrong, you can ask the unit price clearly before checking out! #Local delicacies #Try the authentic old brands #Local specialties #The most asked place in Moments #Shaoxing Travel

Small rib noodles, pickled cabbage noodles, Pianerchuan, beef noodles, sunset fried rice... Full of ingredients! I especially recommend the boss's homemade sausages, which are made with safe meat and are very fragrant and delicious. Finally, the most important advertising slogan: the boss is a handsome guy!
Finally tried the slightly spicy pickled fish noodles, it was still a bit spicy, I will order non-spicy next time.
