Travel Notes | Hello, Shaoxing

TAVEL ALONE

one person

travel

I want to breathe the air of every city, see the scenery of every city, and feel the customs and customs of each place. I don’t know since when I was able to travel alone and enjoy the quietness of being alone.

Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season. Only when a person is wandering outside can he deeply understand its profound meaning. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festive atmosphere makes one's travel alone more charming.

Shaoxing is like a museum without walls.

In a deep and silent corner

In the faint light of the small bridge and flowing water

As long as you listen carefully, can feel

A line of vitality inherited from the history of Shaoxing

Still floating here like a gossamer

Ancient Shaoxing was filled with the fragrance of wine and the charm of water

Shaoxing now

The charm of Jiangnan small town can be seen everywhere

Shaoxing - an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River where people gather together

Walking on the old streets and ancient bridges of Shaoxing

Feel the rich and timeless atmosphere of books

Xianheng Hotel

When talking about Xianheng Hotel, the first thing that comes to mind is Kong Yiji. The rich people wear long shirts in the hotel and sit down to drink. The poor people wear short clothes and drink standing up. Kong Yiji is the only person wearing a long gown and drinking while standing. Poor scholar, but indolent in leisure, only loves to drink a bowl of warm wine in Xianheng Hotel. The person standing at the door is Kong Yiji, that poor man who looks down on the people at the bottom but cannot squeeze into the upper class society.

Lu Xun's hometown

Lu Xun's hometown is a historical district in Shaoxing City. It was the place where the great writer Lu Xun lived when he was a boy. Walking into the former residence is like walking into the books of Mr. Lu Xun. Scenes from his childhood textbooks such as the "Baicao Garden" and Sanwei Bookstore can be found here. You can go to the Baicao Garden to see the acacia tree under which Lu Xun once caught crickets, and you can go to the Sanwei Bookstore to see his desk with the word "morning" engraved on it. Walking here, you will think about the influence of this great writer. Have you ever secretly carved the word "Zao" on the table, or have you endured, calmed down, etc. It is also interesting to think about.

Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall

In the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, you can see the entire life journey of Mr. Lu Xun. The memorial hall collects a large number of modern revolutionary cultural relics, local documents, books and photos related to Lu Xun. The entire memorial hall is simple, peaceful and unpretentious, reflecting the humanistic connotation of Lu Xun's spirit.

Shen Yuan

Red crisp hands, yellow wine, the city is full of spring scenery and willows on the palace walls. The east wind is evil and happiness is thin. Many years separated, my mind full of sorrow. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The ups and downs of the love story between Lu You and Tang Wan have made countless people sigh and sigh for thousands of years. Shen Garden is the place to witness this eternal love. However, compared to the crowds in Lu Xun’s hometown, Shen Garden is much quieter. Walking in Shen Garden, those who are familiar with the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan may not be able to help but sigh for it.

east lake

The scenery of East Lake is small and spiritual. Because it is far away from the urban area and there are not many people, it has been compared to a "landscape bonsai". Did you know that this is also the filming location for the 1982 version of "Journey to the West"?

The water of East Lake is much clearer than the rivers in the city. It was once a quarry, and the two sides of the bank are steep cliffs left by the quarrying. The most amazing things about East Lake are Taogong Cave and Xiantao Cave. Standing on the shore, Xiantao Cave is just a stone quarry. It is a simple stone frame door. When you approach it by boat, you can see the huge fairy peach shape combined with the stone door and reflection. Taogong Cave - The entrance only allows a small boat to pass, but after entering the cave, there is another cave sky. Looking up at the small patch of sky at the bottom of the cave is quite a bit like sitting in a well and observing the sky.

Walking along the river bank, the Bancheng Bookstore on the riverside comes into view, built in the water with the mountain at its back. Walking into the bookstore, it was warm and quiet. I sat on a stool and leaned against the window, quietly watching the awning boats on the lake passing by. Listening to "Confession Balloon" in the store, I wanted to stay in a daze and relax like this. . I don't know why I always think of Shen Lao's "Border Town". If you have the chance, you must go to Fenghuang Ancient City to see it.

Walking to the end of Jishoulou Pier, there is a social opera being performed. Although you can't understand what the actors are singing, you can still stand and lean on the railing, watch and taste it quietly, walk along the shore and experience the quiet world in the noisy world.
