[Jiangnan in Writing Day Tour] A Shaoxing day tour to visit historic hometowns and ancient towns and discover the charm of this water town

If you want to spend a day exploring Shaoxing's cultural heritage and water town charm, this Shaoxing route is perfect. Pick-up and drop-off are at the high-speed rail station, round-trip transfers are hassle-free, and all three meals are on your own—no set group menus. The tour departs from Shaoxing's high-speed rail station. First, visit Lu Xun's Hometown and step into scenes from your textbooks: Baicao Garden, Sanwei Study and Xianheng Hotel, where you can see the old Shaoxing described by Lu Xun firsthand. Next, head to Keyan Scenic Area, known for its ancient Yue stone culture. See unique rock formations like Luzhu Qingyan, the thousand-year-old Tiangong Buddha, the distinctive Yuenu Chunxiao landscape and a giant black felt hat—attractions you won't find anywhere else. In the evening, visit Anchang Ancient Town. This thousand-year-old water town hasn't been over-commercialized; the riverside old street, traditional workshops, stone-paved alleys and small bridges remain just as they were. Stroll slowly and soak in the authentic Jiangnan atmosphere. After the full-day tour, everyone is taken back to the railway station. With flexible timing, it's ideal for travelers who aren't sure how to plan their Shaoxing trip.
