I searched for this restaurant before I came to Jiaxing. After the yoga trip in Jiaxing, I visited this restaurant. This restaurant is near Yuehe Street and has a nice facade. There is no menu here, so you can order food by looking at the real food at the front desk. After a week of vegetarianism, I seemed particularly happy to see meat 😃Zou Daxian, it should be a chain store, the atmosphere here is good [strong] The dishes are typical Jiaxing style, and they are quite standard.
Zou Daxian (Zhongji Branch) is located not far from Yuehe Road in the historical district of Jiaxing. Its storefront is not big, and inside is a large courtyard that leads all the way to the Houhe River. The restaurant layout of its Jiangnan courtyard is unique, and the dishes are quite rich and taste good.

Hecheng Lu Gaojian (Yuehe Branch) is a century-old store and a time-honored brand in Zhejiang. The store has private rooms upstairs and a lobby downstairs. It faces the square and is close to the pier. When dining here, you can enjoy the scenery of small bridges and flowing water, cruise ships entering and exiting the bridge holes, and tourists' joy. Lu Gaojian's sauce duck making skills have been identified as Jiaxing's intangible cultural heritage and have a story behind them.
Of course you have to try the local specialties when you come to Jiaxing. After looking at the must-eat list, I found that Yuehe has a lot of food. I chose this century-old restaurant next to Yuehe Pier. The "Lu Gaojian Braised Duck" tastes good and should be considered the top local specialty in Jiaxing. The "Crispy Pan-fried Rice Cake" is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and fragrant when eaten, and very delicious with Thousand Island sauce. The "Preserved Meat Combination" took a little long to steam, so long that I had to wait a long time after all the other dishes were finished, but it tasted good, especially the pig head meat inside. The sausage tasted average.

The breakfast shop I chose when I went to Jiaxing was just behind the hotel, so it was convenient to walk there. The shop was really small, and there were a lot of people lining up. |Shengjian Siu Mai^This is a must-order. The siu Mai is made in the Shengjian way, with bamboo shoots and meat as the fillings. It is really fragrant after being fried at the bottom.
|Shrimp Siu Mai^This is steamed, and there is a packet of soup inside the siu Mai, which is very delicious. The shrimps are also quite big.
The sign has been changed. The classic set meal is 18 yuan, which is not expensive, but not so amazing. It is okay to pass by and fill your stomach, but it is not necessary to come here specially.

Jiaxing Food｜Zhenzhen Lao Lao still wants to eat freshly wrapped zongzi
👉Shop name: Zhenzhen Lao Lao Honpu (flagship store)
📍Address: No. 73, Zhongji Road, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province
🕙Business hours: 8:30-20:00
[Mint] Environment:
The shop is very unique and is located in the Yuehe Historical District. Of course, there are several Zhenzhen Lao Lao shops on this road, and this one is the flagship store.
The freshly wrapped zongzi are neatly stacked there, and you can also see the auntie wrapping them. The technique is skillful and the movements are fast. The zongzi in the store are all cooked, and you can choose to eat in the store or take away. The auntie will put the peeled zongzi in a paper box, and you can take it away and eat it.
Talk about the difference between the Chuanren Zongzi and the ordinary Zongzi. The salty Chuanren Zongzi is also a soup zongzi. The glutinous rice is white, no soy sauce is added, and the broth is soaked to enhance the freshness. The meat is also not fresh pork belly. So the price is more expensive than ordinary meat zongzi.
🌟Heirloom bamboo shoots and meat dumplings 15¥ 3.5/5
Soup dumplings, so they are white. The meat is much softer than the vacuum-packed ones, and the bamboo shoots are hard and taste bad. The glutinous rice is very sticky and salty, with the aroma of young leaves.
🌟Heirloom fermented bean curd and meat dumplings 15¥ 4/5
The glutinous rice is very tight, and it is indeed fermented bean curd meat, but you can't taste the fermented bean curd flavor. The fat and fat are mixed, and the fat melts in your mouth. The meat is not very hard. It is very fresh, a little salty.
🌟Heirloom double yolk meat dumplings 15¥ 3.5/5
A small piece of meat, not soft, a little hard. The two egg yolks are a little hard, the glutinous rice is sticky, and the taste is very fresh.
🌟Heirloom meat dumplings 14¥ 3.5/5
There will be a little more meat, and the taste is about the same.
🌟Egg yolk and pork dumplings 10¥ 3.5/5
The ones with soy sauce are not as salty as the traditional soup stock. The salted egg yolk core is too hard, and the pork belly is relatively soft. The fat exudes the aroma of pork. Personally, I feel that the cheaper soy sauce version of the dumplings is more cost-effective.
There are quite a few Zhenzhen Lao Lao Dian in Jiaxing. People in Shanghai usually only know about Wufangzhai Zongzi, but it is said that the locals in Jiaxing also love Zhenzhen Lao Lao. I can always carry more than ten dumplings every time I go to the store. They are very heavy. Now you can also buy them online. When I go to Jiaxing for fun, I go to Zhenzhen Lao Lao to buy them if I can't wait to eat them.

As a local, I have heard of it for a long time, but it is my first time here.
Invited by a friend, I came to have afternoon tea in the 40-degree heat. Then, there was a little surprise. Fanghezhou, just by the name, is a charming place, shaded by green trees and with a faint lake light. This shop is in Fanghezhou Park. The tea🍵 and desserts can only be said to be good, and the main attraction is the environment.
A decent thunderstorm in the afternoon set off the whole environment with a different taste. The sun shines through the woods on the rain-soaked road surface, the leaves sway vigorously in the wind, and the lake in the distance ripples and also shimmers. The rain is not small, but the blue sky and white clouds☁️ are still there. This is the wonderful scenery of a summer afternoon thunderstorm.
This is a place where you can have afternoon tea or a meal.
The environment is very good, feel the breath of nature, the meal is a good experience, come again next time

People are in a hurry, just for a few pieces of silver~🎶
You have to go to a teahouse in your life! 🍵
It is very convenient, right in the hotel, I like this simple and comfortable decoration style~
Finally, I squeezed out time to visit the teahouse I had been thinking about, and had a cup of Xingshi Linglong Melon Fruit Tea! It has a very refreshing taste, rich tea flavor, and melon pulp. It tastes a little sweet at first. The cute little lion is made of buffalo milk. It tastes full of milk when you lick it!
There are not many people in the store today, and the clerk gave me a small teapot very nicely!
You can only order by scanning the QR code on WeChat, and Alipay payment is not accepted.
If you're traveling in Jiaxing, a restaurant with a fabulous atmosphere, delicious food, and photogenic vibes is "Suiyin Jiliang."
1. Nanhu Tiandi is one of the more established shopping districts here, especially Suiyin Jiliang.
It's a truly stunning spot! You can enjoy tea and coffee, as well as some light meals.
2. Hangzhou and Jiaxing, two charming Jiangnan cities, await your exploration. Bring your Suiyin Jiliang for a spontaneous trip and experience the refined, slow-paced life of Jiangnan's water towns!

The Chinese restaurant in the hotel has delicious food, a good environment and excellent service. It is worth a try.
The hotel is located in the core area of Jiaxing City, preparing for the Jiaxing City Administrative Center. The Nanhu Tourist Area is just outside the door, which is also the location of the first #嘉兴旅游
The first phase is mainly catering, but the environment is very good, there are small bridges with water systems for walking, although it is in the city center, the natural environment is very good.
The hotel has less than 30 rooms, and the service staff ratio is very high. It is a small but exquisite hotel.
The overall decoration of the room is in line with the positioning of Guantang Ancient Style. The suite is spacious, with a free mini bar, capsule coffee in the tea bar, and the room can directly see the Nanhu water system outside. The bathroom has a bathtub, and the shower room and toilet are separated.
Because there are relatively few people, the breakfast on the second day is a semi-buffet set meal. The staple food is Jiaxing's special rice dumplings. In the afternoon, members also have afternoon tea. You can have a cup of tea and eat snacks before checking out. The restaurant also has its own small pier for boat banquets, which is very distinctive.

There are countless Wufangzhai stores in Jiaxing. The Wufangzhai in the highway service area is right next to the dining area. It is an independent store with a lot of space. In addition to catering services, it is also a brand display and pickup area. The prices are a bit higher than in the city, and the variety is more limited. The flavors of the zongzi are quite complete. If you didn't have time to go to Jiaxing, it's a good place to buy some souvenirs.
It is a long-established brand of Zongzi. When I went to Jiaxing, it happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, so I went to Wufangzhai for breakfast. I felt it was quite good. And now there are various flavors of Internet-famous Zongzi, which taste pretty good. The price is certainly not cheap.
