Compared to Suzhou, I prefer the understated charm of Shaoxing, the hometown of Lu Xun

🌟 Shaoxing is truly a "living ancient city with a thousand years of history"! While other places only offer architecture to admire, here even the air carries the fragrance of yellow rice wine— Yellow rice wine popsicles, yellow rice wine milk tea, yellow rice wine ice cream, even stinky tofu can be dipped in yellow rice wine sauce! There’s also the free-to-visit Xu Wei Art Museum, where the black-and-white architecture makes for incredibly artistic photos! 🐾 Why choose Dongyueli Hotel (Shaoxing Lu Xun’s Hometown Cangqiao Straight Street Branch): Stay in the heart of Shaoxing—just a 10-minute walk to Lu Xun’s Former Residence, 800 meters to Zhou Enlai’s Former Residence, with all attractions within easy reach! 🌉 Right outside the hotel is the main route for the Wupeng boats on the city moat—bring your own kayak for some fun on the water, cool off, and enjoy scenery so beautiful your phone won’t stop snapping! 🍵 Complimentary welcome fruit and cold-brew tea afternoon tea, plus free fishing in the lobby—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. 😸 A cute lobby cat awaits your cuddles, adding a healing touch—great for kids! 🚲 Three free bicycles to explore—300 meters to Cangqiao Straight Street for Shaoxing delicacies, 200 meters to Fushan Park to see the Yue King Goujian’s temporary palace. 📸 Rooms offer direct views of the viral Baozhu Bridge—no need to queue for stunning photos, instant social media material! 👉 Click below to secure this rare Shaoxing hotel gem. 💦 Visiting Shaoxing in summer? Don’t miss the "dual land-and-water experience"! By day, cruise Donghu Lake on a Wupeng boat, marveling at the rowers’ foot-paddling technique. By night, head to Yellow Rice Wine Town to DIY yellow rice wine whiskey, then catch the immersive comedy *The Gold Rush Banquet*. After a day of fun, return to the hotel, grab a free bike to Cangqiao Straight Street for cream-topped pastries, then unwind in your room with Baozhu Bridge’s night view—who wouldn’t fall for Shaoxing? ⭐ Attraction Guide ✔ Lu Xun’s Former Residence: **[Go early!]** Lines get long by 10 AM.
