Cured by the New Year atmosphere of Anchang Ancient Town | Attached with a guide for strolling and eating

Anchang Ancient Town, the hometown of Chinese 'Shiye', is less than an hour's drive from Hangzhou! The ancient town's streets and river run side by side, with residential houses to the south of the river and shops to the north. Walking along the riverside paved with bluestone slabs, browsing the quaint workshops along the street, the full New Year atmosphere feels like the warmest sentiment of the twelfth lunar month. 📍Address: Zhe'an North Road, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City 🎈Navigation: Anchang Ancient Town Parking Lot, 10 yuan/vehicle (The entrance parking lot of the ancient town tends to have long queues on holidays, you can choose the parking lot across the street, which is super spacious) 🎫Ticket: Free (open all day) 🚅High-speed train: To Shaoxing North Station, 20 minutes by taxi 🚇Subway: Yuezhou Avenue Station on Shaoxing Line 1, 15 minutes by taxi 🍜Delicacies ✔️Shiye Small Wontons 12 yuan (Average taste, nothing special, won't eat again after trying once) ✔️Soy Sauce Cured Sausage 35-45 yuan/jin, 10 yuan/skewer (Must buy some to take away every time, look for fresh meat and handmade ones, the taste is even better) ✔️Pear Paste Candy 10 yuan (Excellent for soothing the throat, totally refreshing!) ✔️Xiaodianwang Fermented Rice Dumplings Original flavor 2 yuan, Rose flavor 3 yuan/Sweet Fermented Rice 12 yuan/Various Crispy Cakes 15-18 yuan (If you want to take them home, you can ask the staff for refrigerated ones, which are convenient to carry) ✔️Intangible Cultural Heritage Braised Meat Noodles 15 yuan ✔️Achang Sauce Goods Fried Stinky Tofu/Fried Crispy Fish 10 yuan, Pumpkin Cake 5 yuan ✔️Yellow Wine Popsicles 3-10 yuan (Recommended, the 5 yuan one is enough, the 10 yuan one has a heavier cream flavor) ✔️Anchang Printed Cake 25 yuan ✔Yellow Wine Latte 36 yuan (For the sake of taking photos, but it also tastes good) ✔Juhong Cake 10 yuan (Must buy and eat on the spot, it's the best Juhong cake we have ever tasted) ✔Mulian Tofu: 10 yuan (Can be mixed with Turtle Jelly, a very refreshing dessert) 👉🏻Tour Experience ▼It is recommended to visit several museums, they close around 4:30, the Folk Customs Museum is highly recommended, very interesting Jiangzhe folk customs. ▼You can try snacks first, and buy specialties on the way back, which is convenient for sightseeing. ▼Wupeng boat usually costs 40 yuan/holiday 50 yuan, each time for 3 people, but when there is a large flow of people, the Wupeng boat will row very quickly, and the experience is not great... ▼Strongly recommend the ancient town's night view❗️Basically, the ancient town lights up around 5:45 (winter), and at this time the flow of people significantly decreases, there will be timed water mist spraying along the river, and night projections, bringing the hazy beauty of 'smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River'.
