Shaoxing Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Anchang Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Anchang Ancient Town| Seeking the taste of the New Year
| Seeking the taste of the New Year. Yangshan Stone City →Anchang Ancient Town→ Narrow Tea Lake Ancient Canal
Buying New Year's goods~ The strong New Year atmosphere, today is a happy day with cured food and historical culture.
①Go to Yangshan Stone City in the morning, which used to be a quarry, creating a stone city with strange rocks. It's very spectacular to look down from the top of the platform.
②10 minutes away, arrive at Anchang Ancient Town. In the twelfth lunar month, this word, which can only be seen in Lu Xun's novels now, is also completely preserved in Anchang. The water here is convenient, it used to be an economic town, many businessmen did business here and couldn't go home for the New Year, the local residents held activities in the twelfth lunar month to comfort their homesickness, there are various local snacks, which have been preserved to this day. This ancient town is also famous for its 'shiye', most of them come from Anchang Ancient Town. 'Shiye' was a profession in history, similar to the status of a consultant. Because they didn't have an official status, they could only sit in the back and listen to the trial. Once they found that the party's testimony was problematic, they would send a note. Renchang Soy Sauce Garden, a century-old soy sauce garden that has been on the tip of the tongue of China, is most famous for its mother and son sauce. Because there is a good soy sauce garden, the cured meat here is particularly famous. The production of sausages was listed on the intangible cultural heritage list in 2023. There are also characteristic intangible cultural heritage snacks, such as pulling white sugar and sweet rice wine steamed buns, which are worth tasting. There is also yellow wine, and popsicles and milk tea made with yellow wine are also special. Find a local small shop, sit by the river, and eat a few local dishes is also a good choice.
③30 minutes away, arrive at Narrow Tea Lake Ancient Canal in the afternoon. This lake is an inland lake, named after the production of Narrow Tea Lake fish. This rare fish has other familiar names, called anglerfish in Shanghai, and yellow spicy in Sichuan hot pot. In ancient times, boat trackers pulled the boat upstream on the ancient canal, and the piles of the canal also divided the water area into two parts. One side of the water is calm and can be used as a wind shelter. The entire canal is made of bluestone slabs, which was also called Baiyu Longdi Road in history. It has made a great contribution to water transportation and has greatly helped the economic development of Shaoxing. The sunset in the evening is very beautiful on the water surface

Anchang ancient town
Today I went to visit Anchang ancient town. It is a beautiful area to stroll around and enjoy a Shaoxing rice wine ice cream (5 rmb).
I do not recommend paying for the ticket to enter some of the buildings. Whilst it is only 50 rmb it seems a little expensive for what you get and I would prefer to just have strolled around the town.
I spent a few hours here and I would definitely recommend it as part of an itinerary to visit Shaoxing.
I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was very quiet. Maybe the heat had kept people away. There's lots of little restaurants but no one eating at them. I guess maybe some people would arrive in the evening instead. #shaoxing
Charmingly Primitive Old Town in Shaoxing 🎋
Anchang Ancient Town is located in Shaoxing county, near Hangzhou’s Xiaoshan district. The waterway is narrow and strips across the town with old Chinese style houses on both sides. The town looks charmingly primitive with its old stone bridges, walkways and local specialties such as the yellow wine, Anchang sausages and soy sauce roasted duck.
It’s also a living area where I saw elders watching TV, playing majiang or preparing the town’s specials. I also spotted a cobbler at work 👞 For the first time, I saw boats rowed by feet🛶🦶There are also a bunch of restaurants, shops, teahouses and a Starbucks 🤭 The town isn’t overwhelmingly commercial which makes it a nice place to visit if you want to stroll around a place with a more traditional vibe of the Chinese lifestyle.
Address ➡️ 安昌古镇
How to go ➡️ I joined a tour group which provided transport to the ancient town. I believe hiring a private driver or taking a taxi would be more convenient🙂

Shaoxing Keyan Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A complete guide to visiting the Keyan Scenic Area in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province
Transportation guide: There are buses available, but it is recommended to
Highlight features: The stone scenery in Keyan is not purely natural. It has been created by generations of quarrying since the Three Kingdoms period, resulting in numerous stone walls and gorges. Among many works, the Keyan Big Buddha is the most representative. This Buddha is modeled after Maitreya Buddha, 20.8 meters high, in a seated posture. The Buddha's left hand rests on his knee, and his right hand is raised in a gesture of expounding the scriptures, known as the 'First Wonder of Keyan'.
In addition to the Keyan Big Buddha, I personally recommend 'Spring Dawn of the Yue Girl'. The most touching is the Water Town Social Stage, a three-sided waterfront building that hosts performances on weekends, singing local Shaoxing operas such as Yue Opera, Lotus Fall, Shao Opera, etc., perfectly restoring Lu Xun's famous work 'Social Drama'.
In Luzhen, you must visit the Town Hall. The highlight here is the situational performance, which takes you into the novel. Luzhen presents the characters mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun, such as Ah Q, Xianglin's wife, Lu Siye, Kong Yiji, Fake Foreign Devil, Wu Ma, Little D, etc., in the form of live actors.
Opening hours: 8:00-16:30
Ticket price: 130 yuan, online purchase 115
Enjoy the autumn scenery. The Daxianglin Scenic Area is rich in vegetation. The most beautiful season in the scenic area is the autumn when osmanthus flowers bloom. The park has a group of ancient osmanthus trees from the Song Dynasty, which are lush and stretch for miles. The fragrance drifts with the wind for miles, intoxicating people.
Taste the Buddha's philosophy. The scenic area is also the source of Buddhist culture. Longhua Temple and Tushita Heaven Palace are representative works. Especially Tushita Heaven Palace, it is definitely a landmark building in the scenic area. Looking down at Tushita Heaven Palace from the sky gives a different feeling. Especially when there are clouds and fog, the palace theme is sometimes submerged
Shaoxing Tips:
1. The Keyan Scenic Area is composed of multiple sub-scenic areas. The tour time is 3-4 hours. If you include photo time, it is usually around 5 hours. Please arrange your energy reasonably.
2. This scenic area is a culmination of Jiangnan water town scenery and culture. It is recommended to read Lu Xun's novels before visiting. From virtual to reality, it's more fun to visit this way.
A Must Visit Gem in Shaoxing 🛶
I went to Shaoxing once on a day trip, but had no idea about this wonderful place until I stumbled on pictures of it! The Keyan Scenic Area is HUGE! It consists of three parts:
1️⃣ Tiangong Stone Buddha
2️⃣ Jianhu Scenic Area
3️⃣ Luzhen old town
I went there during National week and made sure to arrive as early as possible, up to booking a hotel nearby. I started with the Tiangong Budhha which is where most people flock! The Stone Buddha was very impressive 👌🏼 The atmosphere was so calm and peaceful 😌 until the crowd arrived an hour later. There’s also relics, colorful paintings depicting history and temples.
As you walk further, you’ll reach the Jian Lake Scenic area which was so picturesque with mountains and nature as backdrop! Wupeng boats native to Shaoxing on the lake were so charming! The entrance ticket includes 2 boat rides. The first will take you to a small island which felt rather plain. There was a restaurant, yellow wine sellers and a glass bridge which required an extra 20¥. I just walked to the exit where I caught the other boat taking tourists to Luxun’s old town.
Luxun’s old town was lovely! There were restaurants with local dishes, a small museum, live Chinese old songs, souvenir shops and Jiangnan Style water canals with cobblestone pathways! It was relaxing to wander around and get some snaps 📸
The entrance ticket is expensive, but worth it! It also includes the boat rides.
Entrance 🎫: 130¥
How to go ➡️Keyan Scenic Area, 柯岩风景区
I stayed at Mirror Lake hotel which is a 5 -10 min walk to the entrance. There’s a metro line connecting Shaoxing line 1 to Hangzhou line 5 which was a convenient option for me coming from Hangzhou. Taxi ride to the hotel/entrance is about 20 mins from Mingzhu Square 🚇 station, 明珠广场

Tiantai Mountain, the Great Buddha Temple, and the Chuan Yan Nineteen Peaks are its three major attractions.

As a result, I walked a total of 26,000 steps at the two attractions, which completely exhausted my legs 🙃 but it was worth the trip.
