Introduction of scenic spots
1, a memorial site around Luxun Middle Road.
A series of scenic spots from Jiefang Road to Xunzhong Road in East Lu Along are mostly related to Lu Xun. Before the tour, I suggest you review some of Luxun's famous works, such as Kong Yiji and From Baicao Garden to San Tan Yin Yue. Compared with the description written by Mr. Wang and the present situation of these places, the content of tourism can be more abundant. Now I will give a general introduction in the order from west to east.
At the intersection of Jiefang Road and Luxun Middle Road, there is a 3000-square-meter Luxun Square with a bronze statue of 199 1 Mr. Wang on the 65438th anniversary of Luxun's birth. To the west and north of the square, there is a river and a bridge, which is a quiet place. Opposite the square is Shaoxing antique market, which is very lively during the day.
Walk one or two minutes from the square to the east to reach Xianheng Hotel, built at 198 1. Although it is not Lu Xun's original work, it still retains the style of the old restaurant and attracts many tourists. The word "Xianheng" comes from the Book of Changes Kun Gua: "Wealth is Xianheng". "salty" means complete and complete; "Heng" means prosperity. See the "Catering" section for the introduction of food and wine here.
Go ahead for a minute or two and you will arrive at Xinjian Road, a small street that runs across Luxun Road in the north-south direction. There are light box advertisements of "Shao Yan Machine Guest House" and "Baicaoyuan Guest House" at the intersection. From the intersection, walk north along Xinjian Road for two minutes, and you will arrive at Changqing Temple and Tugu Temple that Lu Xun once described. These two places are not open as tourist spots. Changqing Temple on the left, commonly known as Banzhu Temple, was built in the Tang Dynasty. Once one of the eight temples in Shaoxing, it is now the seat of Tashan Street Cultural Station. There is an old plaque of "Changqing Temple" with a red background and bronzing at the mountain gate. When Lu Xun was a baby, he worshipped the temple monk Longzu as his teacher. The master named Lu Xun "Long Roots" and gave him a piece of silver gossip of "Three Treasures, North Son, Long Roots in Law", which hung on Lu Xun's chest. On the right, facing Changqing Temple, is Tugu Temple, which is a small facade. At that time, there lived an unemployed man named Xie Agui in Tugu Temple, who later became the prototype of Ah Q, the protagonist of The True Story of Ah Q. There was a street pavilion between Changqing Temple and Tugu Temple, and there were many plaques under the pavilion eaves.
A few steps further from the Tugu Temple in Changqing Temple, you can see a small river and an old street facing the river from east to west. The west side is called Xixian Huanhe and Xixian Huanhe, and the east side is called Dongxian Huanhe and Dongxian Huanhe. The rivers and streets are relatively simple, which has the flavor of old Shaoxing. It's worth a visit. No.0/9, Dongxianhuanhe/KLOC-0, there is the former site of Henderson Pawnshop, and there is a big word "dang" at the door. Young Lu Xun often comes here to pawn things because of his poor family. Today, Henderson Pawnshop is a residential building.
Go back to the intersection of Luxun Road and Xinjian Road, and continue to walk east on Luxun Road in Lu Along for a few minutes, and you will reach the scenic spot of Luxun Memorial Hall. The scenic spots are distributed within a few hundred meters. On the north side of the road, there are Lu Xun's former residence (including Baicaoyuan), Lu Xun's life exhibition hall and Lu Xun's ancestral home. On the south side of the road, there are three pools reflecting the moon. I want to buy a package of 15 yuan, but I can't get in the door.
[Taimen: Lu Xun's former residence (also known as Zhoujiaxin Taimen) and Lu Xun's ancestral home (also known as Zhou Jia Laotaimen) are both Taimen buildings with Shaoxing characteristics in Qing Dynasty. As a residential form, Taimen was widely used in Shaoxing in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Platform door is a kind of courtyard combination with regular plane and longitudinal expansion, which generally consists of a door bucket, a patio (also called a bright hall, which mainly plays the role of lighting), a hall (reception room), a building (living room) and a side room (kitchen, storage room and other auxiliary rooms).
The depth and width of platform doors generally depend on the social status, economic strength and population status of the owners. There are three common platform doors, ranging from two to five, while the largest platform door in Shaoxing history has nine thirteen entrances. Lvfu, a provincial key cultural relics protection unit located in the northwest of the city (not open at present), is owned by Shangshu, the ritual department of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally a large-scale podium building, but at present only the main hall "Yong En Hall" is still intact. There are 6 entrances to the platform gate of Zhoujiaxin, the former residence of Lu Xun, with 7 to 9 entrances each, while there are 4 entrances to the old platform gate of Zhou Jia, with 7 to 9 entrances each.
With the change of time and the transformation of the old city, a large number of podium buildings gradually declined. At present, there are still well-preserved Ming Dynasty Tai Men in Shaoxing City, including Gaojiatai Men in Beihai Bridge Street, Hejiatai Men in Fushan Street and Xiejiatai Men in Yan 'an Road. In the Qing Dynasty, there was Dujiataimen, which was mentioned along the main road and the old and new Taimen in Zhou Jia. In some ancient towns in Shaoxing, such as Anchang, there are also some podium buildings. ]
2. Historical sites along Jiefang Road
Jiefang Road is a main street running through the north and south of Shaoxing City. There are still some ancient meanings between modern roads and buildings. Starting from the railway station, the introduction is made in the general order from north to south. The tour is about half a day.
First, pass through a big square on the west side of Jiefang Road, which is a newly built city square in recent years. On the north side of the square is the office building of Shaoxing Municipal People's Government. What is particularly striking is that an ancient tower stands on this modern square. The name of the pagoda is Dashan Pagoda, which was built in Nanliang. According to legend, a woman surnamed Qian died before marriage, and her last words were to build a temple with dowry, which was 1500 years ago. Since then, it has been rebuilt, and the existing Dashan Pagoda has been overhauled on 1957. This tower has six sides and seven layers of brick and wood structure, and it is 40 meters high. There used to be a wooden ladder in the tower, which was burned down during the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. Now there is only one hollow brick tower left. Visitors can walk into the tower, look up at the half-bright and half-dark, and experience the ancient meaning of downtown dust. The elders in Shaoxing also know that there was once a temple called Daisanji around the Dashan Pagoda. In the past, Daisanji was the most lively market in Shaoxing, and its status was equivalent to the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai and Guanqian Street in Suzhou. Daisanji no longer exists.
Fushan stands on the west side of the city square, because Shaoxing County, Fujian Province and Guangzhou are all located at the foot of this mountain, so it is named Fushan. Because it looks like Wolong, it is also called Wolong Mountain. During the Spring and Autumn Period, when the industrious Yue King Gou Jian appointed Fan Li to build the capital here, the rest of the capital was walled, except Fushan in the northwest corner. According to folklore, the lack of horns is to paralyze Fu Cha, the king of Wu, to show that he is undefended; In fact, Fushan is a natural barrier. A flying wing building was built at the top of the mountain (where Wanghaige is located now), where he can climb to the top of the mountain and observe the movements of Wu Jun at any time. Fushan has been set as a park, and there is Yuewangtai in the south, also known as Yueguo Site (ticket 10 yuan). Bombed by Japanese planes during the Anti-Japanese War, 198 1 reconstruction. Because this is a trip without tickets, just look at Fushan from the direction of the city square.
On the north side of the city square, there is an east-west street that intersects with Jiefang Road, which is Shengli Road. Go west along Shengli Road for about ten minutes, and you can reach the former site of Datong School. I won't go in because the ticket is 10 yuan. You can buy some books about Shaoxing's human history at the ticket office of Datong School.
Go back to Jiefang Road, continue southbound from the city square, continue southbound, and pass the Qiu Jin Monument in the center of Shengli Road in Xuantingkou. Qiu Jin (1875- 1907), a Jianhu woman, was born in a very wealthy family in Shaoxing. She likes poetry riding and shooting since she was a child. She left home to study in Japan on 1904, and participated in the Guangfu Association and the Friendship League successively. At that time, she wrote a famous sentence, "I don't hesitate to buy a treasure knife, but I can exchange mink for wine." 1907 presided over the work in Shaoxing Datong School and organized the Guangfu Army to prepare for the uprising. He was accidentally exposed and arrested. In prison, Qiu Jin insisted on pleading guilty, and only wrote "Murder in Autumn Rain" on the confession paper, and there was nothing else to say. 1907, Qiu Jin was beheaded by the Qing court, and the execution ground followed the Xuantingkou next to this monument. 1933, this monument stands in Qiu Jin. The monument is seven meters high. In the west of the monument, there is the Monument to Autumn Martyrs inscribed by Cai Yuanpei and Yu Youren.
Further south is Lu Xun Square at the intersection of Lu Xun Middle Road, which has been introduced in the section "Lu Xun Memorial Site in the area of Lu Xun Middle Road".
Continue southbound from Lu Xun intersection, and you can reach Tashan Park (ticket 2 yuan). Among the scenic spots that collect tickets in Shaoxing, this place should be the most cost-effective, because Yingtian Tower at the top of the mountain is a better position overlooking Shaoxing City.
3. Several ancient bridges in the city.
Shaoxing has the reputation of being a bridge town and a bridge capital. According to the investigation in the 1990s, there are more than 6,000 bridges in Shaoxing County and Yuecheng District, including more than 5,000 stone bridges, of which 3 were built before the Song Dynasty, 4/kloc-0 in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and 553 were rebuilt, rebuilt or newly built in the Qing Dynasty. Here are some ancient stone bridges with distinctive features in urban areas.
The figure of eight bridge. Located at the east end of straight street of Baziqiao in the east of the city, near the East Bus Station. This bridge is very famous in Shaoxing, and it is easy to find the way. The eight-character bridge has a long reputation because it was built in the fourth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1256). Although it has been rebuilt since then, it is still the organizational system of the Song Dynasty. Secondly, because of its unique shape, it is an overpass bridge over Liang Shi Bridge. There are two rows of steps in the east pier of the bridge. According to the street conditions, the west pier of the bridge is set to be straight west and straight south. This model blends with the environment and is very practical. The figure-of-eight bridge is also named after the shape of eight. The streets along the river in the area of Baziqiao are very watery.
Guangxiang bridge. This semicircular stone arch bridge is located beside the national highway in the north of Shaoxing, about ten meters north of Wang Yue Bridge (a highway bridge on the north line of National Highway 104). If you pass by in the direction of Ke Qiao by car, you can pay attention to it. This bridge was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is even older than the splayed bridge. This bridge is named after Guangxiang Temple. Because of the smoothness of the highway bridge, few people walk now, and the bridge deck is overgrown with weeds. Compared with the busy highway bridge, it still looks old.
Xiegong Bridge goes south from Guangxiang Bridge and walks along Nishikoji for a few minutes to Xinhe Lane. There is a stone arch bridge on the left, named Xiegong Bridge, named after Xie Lingyun. This single-hole heptagonal arch-folded stone bridge was built in the late Jin Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, and it has been well preserved so far, and local residents often come and go. Xiegong Bridge is surrounded by the old city of Shaoxing, and on the east side is the national key cultural protection unit, the famous Shangshu First Lvfu (not open). Standing on the bridge of Xiegong Bridge, you can feel the taste of Shaoxing, an old water city.
4. Gu Jian Lake and Ma Su Tomb
Out of the side door in the west of Shaoxing city, less than one kilometer west along the highway, there is a cement bridge on the left-hand side called the bridge across the lake. The bridge across the lake is only 30 meters wide, and the water channel it crosses looks like an ordinary river in the east-west direction. In fact, it is the relic of ancient Jianhu-the bridge across the lake, hence its name. Crossing the lake bridge can reach Mataishou Temple and Mazhen Tomb. Jianhu and Ma Zhen are like Dujiangyan and Li Bing. Going to Shaoxing without Jianhu is like going to Chengdu without Dujiangyan. Due to the lack of tourism development and promotion, there are few tourists here at ordinary times, but it is a scenic spot with profound cultural heritage. There is no admission fee.
Jianhu Lake is an ancient water conservancy project with a history of 1800 years. Before Jianhu Lake was built, the Shanhui Plain in the north of Shaoxing was low-lying, which could not be discharged smoothly in case of mountain torrents and seawater intrusion, and swamps were everywhere. In the fifth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (140), Ma Zhen, the magistrate of Huiji, presided over the construction of Jianhu levee, which opened the east and west wings from Fucheng and intercepted 36 streams in Huiji Mountain, forming Jianhu Lake with an area of about 200 square kilometers. Since then, the mountain torrents in Huiji Mountain can no longer overflow, but are confined in the reservoir. The lake embankment is equipped with gates, weirs and buckets, which discharge the sea in rainy season and irrigate in dry season. Since then, the plain in the lower reaches of Jianhu Lake has no longer suffered from serious drought and flood disasters, and has gradually become a land of plenty.
Jianhu Lake, like a river under a bridge across the lake, is only a part of the ancient Jianhu Lake. In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, due to Shaoxing's small population and land, rich people and farmers began to cultivate land around the lake, which greatly reduced the area of Jianhu Lake.
Walk through the house for about 100 meters, and you can reach Mataishou Temple. The plaque says "On Yin Shan Road"-there were Shanyin County and Huiji County in Shaoxing from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and the administrative offices were all in Shaoxing city-this place belongs to the boundary of Shanyin County. Mataishou Temple is a temple built and maintained spontaneously by the people to commemorate Ma Su, the governor of the Eastern Han Dynasty who built the Jianhu Project. At that time, a water conservancy project as big as Jianhu was controversial as soon as it was built. The main contradiction is that Jianhu flooded a large area of land south of the lake embankment, which damaged the existing interests of some people. After the completion of the lake embankment, an anonymous paper was handed to Beijing, telling Ma Taishou to build Jianhu to flood the ancestral grave of Tian, exaggerating the disadvantages of the project. Hearing this, the emperor sent Ma Zhen to Beijing and punished him for cracking his car. The people had a steelyard in their hearts and stole Ma Taishou's dismembered body back to Huiji 'an for burial. The court soon woke up and rehabilitated Ma Zhen.
The main hall of Ma Taishou Hall is dedicated to Ma Zhen, his wife and children, accompanied by land gods such as Emperor Dongyue and Land Lord. In Mataishou Temple, there are three things that deserve special attention. The first is the murals on both sides of the main hall, which are old things hundreds of years ago. In the form of cartoons, this paper introduces the story of Ma Zhen's death from reading to building Jianhu Lake and then splitting a car. The second is the ancient stage facing the idol, named "Wannian Stage", which is beautifully sculpted and well preserved. On holidays, local operas are often staged on the stage. Third, the tomb of Ma Su on the west side outside the south gate of Taishou Temple. The tomb reads "Tomb of King Liji", and King Liji is the name of Ma Su granted by Emperor Taizong. Mataishou Temple is now managed spontaneously by several villagers in nearby villages.
5. Tracker Road and Taiping Bridge
It is suggested to rent a boat from Anchang to see these two scenery from the water. But chartering is expensive and buses are cheap, so we will also introduce land transportation.
From downtown Shaoxing, you can take bus No.5 to Ruan City, the terminal, and then walk west for a few minutes to reach Taiping Bridge, where Xianfu Road is on the east and west wings of the south bank of Taiping Bridge. You can also take a bus from Qian Qing to Taiping Bridge at North Bus Station. If you take the regular shuttle bus from Hangzhou to Shaoxing (take the national highway instead of the expressway), you will also pass here. There are no tickets for these two scenic spots.
If you have limited time, the easiest way is to take the shuttle bus. You can see the scenery of Qianfu Road on the road a few kilometers east and west of Ruanshe.
If you have enough time and interest, you can start from Taiping Bridge and walk west along the optical fiber road. Zhoushan Road can reach Qianqing Town near Xiaoshan City intermittently. Of course, it is not easy to walk because some sections are in disrepair for a long time.
Taiping Bridge is a multi-span stone arch bridge spanning Xiaoshao Canal from north to south. The bridge was built in the second year of next year (1622), and has been rebuilt many times since then, and it is still a passage for villagers to walk. From the south bank to the north bank, there is a stone arch bridge with a clear span of10m, and the deck of an 8-hole Liang Shi is gradually lowered. This shape is adapted to local conditions, and the canal is wide, like a dragon crossing the river, which is a unique ancient bridge. Up to now, pedestrians come and go on Taiping Bridge, and the stone arch bridge with a clear span of 10 meter is still the passage for canal ships.
The last sentence in "Long Beach Road, Wu Boating" refers to Zhoumao Road. Zhouzhi Road was built in the Tang Dynasty, located in the Xiaoshaoyun section of the ancient canal (also known as Guantang River) in eastern Zhejiang. It is a road for trackers to walk on the south bank, and also has the function of sheltering from the wind. Zhoushan division starts from Xiaoshan in the west and Shangyu in the east, with a total length of 100 Li. From Ruanshe Taiping Bridge to Qian Qing Banqiao, some optical fiber roads crossed the water and built a unique optical fiber bridge. The Qing Dynasty's "Xiandao Bridge Monument" records that "from Taiping Bridge to Banqiao, all the ponds and jade baodai bridge have 281 holes." Of course, this 28 1 hole is about the past. At present, many bridge opening have been blocked. The fiber bridge built by breaking water and supporting the slab bridge with stone piers not only saves labor and materials, but also facilitates flood discharge.
Xianfu Road and Taiping Bridge are called open-air traffic museums by experts. In the long and narrow east-west zone hundreds of meters wide, from north to south, there are Zhejiang East Canal, Chuantai Road, 104 National Highway North Line and Xiao Yong Railway. The concentration of different types of roads in ancient times and today may make you feel something between busy and lonely. Xianfu Road is a national key cultural protection unit, and Taiping Bridge is a provincial key cultural protection unit, which is adjacent to each other and is well worth visiting.
6. Anchang Ancient Town
Among the ancient towns around Shaoxing, Anchang is the first choice for tourism. The organic system of the ancient water town here is relatively complete, with an old street along the river 1.700 meters, seven ancient bridges across the river 17, and a number of old-fashioned gantry buildings; Anchang began to develop tourism from 200 1, with basic tourism, accommodation facilities and some small businesses serving tourists. If you savor it carefully, you can feel the simple folk customs and nostalgia here.
"Clear water across the street, thousands of households, rainbow across the river seventeen bridges", Anchang ancient town itself is a good scenery. There are more than three miles of ancient streets along the river, seventeen stone bridges across the river, deep and tortuous stone alleys and many old shops and ancient buildings with terraces.
Anchang was originally named Anchang, probably because there was a beach and sea in the north of the ancient town, and it was renamed Anchang in the Tang Dynasty because of the suppression of Dongchang rebellion. In the Neolithic Age, ancestors of Yue people lived here. According to ancient books, Dayu once married a vassal in Tushan, east of Anchang Town. He described Tu Shanshi's poem Waiting for People in The Book of Songs, which made Anchang the birthplace of China's love poems. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Anchang became an important market town. During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, there was a Wenling man named Zheng who advocated that everyone donate land to build streets. In the second year of Hongzhi (1489), Anchang Commercial Street officially opened. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the countryside around Anchang was rich in cotton and mulberry, and textiles were concentrated in Anchang trade (Anchang cotton was called "Nansha serge" because of its good quality, and a special showroom was set up in Guzhen Folk Museum), which also promoted the trade of other daily necessities. In the era when land and water transportation dominated, Anchang gradually became the largest market town in Shaoxing. On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, there were more than 900 firms in Anchang, second only to Shaoxing City. Today's Anchang can still see the shadow of the prosperity of that year. In Anchang, if you are lucky, you can meet the local unique water wedding; If you come here during the twelfth lunar month or the Spring Festival, you still have a chance to see social drama.
traffic
Anchang is located in the northwest corner of Shaoxing county, and it is very convenient to go to Anchang from the urban area. There is a bus 1 18 from Shaoxing South Bus Station to Anchang Ancient Town. You can take it at stations along the way, such as Luxun Middle Road, and the fare to Anchang is 4 yuan. The last bus leaves from Shaoxing South Station at 20: 00, Anchang 2 1: 00. In addition, there are buses that often go to Anchang in North Bus Station.
The east-west Sanlichang Street in Anchang is divided into three sections: Xicheng, Zhongcheng and Dongcheng. The main street is on the north bank of the river, and the town center is the red stone bridge at the junction of Midtown and Zhong Zhen Road. If you get off at Anchang Bus Station, you can enter the ancient town from Dongshikou. There is a memorial archway and a parking lot at the entrance to welcome visitors. Some minibuses can further carry passengers to the intersection of Zhongbei Road, Zhong Zhen Road, and it is closer to walk south from there to Zhong Shi City.
stay
To travel to Anchang ancient town, it is best to stay for one night to feel the scenery in the morning, the quietness after the tourists disperse, and the lifestyle of local residents (this suggestion is also applicable to other ancient towns, provided that the local area has accommodation and reception capacity). Travel can be arranged for one night plus half a day.
Accommodation in Anchang, the first choice is Anchang Hotel, 5654268, which is located at the intersection of Xishi Food Market, and it takes a minute or two to walk west from Zhong Shi Hongshiqiao. The price of beds ranges from 10 to 15 yuan, and the beds are relatively clean. The room on the third floor is the best, with wooden floors, but the boss sometimes refuses to give it to the guests. The hotel itself only has a cold shower, and there is a public bathroom behind the hotel for 3 yuan to take a bath. The disadvantage is that you can hear the sound of the vegetable market in the morning at dawn-in fact, it is not a disadvantage, which is also part of the ancient town experience.
There is also Xinglong Hotel on the north side of Hongshiqiao in Zhong Shi, No.82 Zhongjie, 15 yuan/Bed. Anchang New Town has Anchang Hotel, 5655778.
prescribe a diet
Sausage is a specialty of Anchang, which is available in all seasons. It is better to cook it in winter. A good sausage needs hind leg meat as raw material. When you taste sausages, you can order them directly in the restaurant in the ancient town. Shopkeepers usually make it themselves, ranging from 25 yuan to 30 yuan per catty. After steaming, it can be sliced and eaten.
On Anchang Street, there is also a snack, which is sold as a stall. It's called white sugar, also called linear sugar. It is made of maltose strips cut into pieces under soft and hot conditions, sweet and tough, and easy to melt.
Dining in several restaurants in Guzhen, the tastes of several dishes are similar, all of which are sausages, yellow wine in jars and Shaoxing local dishes, and the per capita consumption of wine is around 20 yuan.
Lin Bao Restaurant is a small restaurant on the north bank of Hebei Province. It takes a minute or two to walk east from the city center. The owner of the restaurant, Shen, is a good drinker and talkative person. He appeared on TV and newspapers many times and was praised by the media as the "image ambassador" of the ancient town.
Across the river from Lin Bao Restaurant, there is also an ancient town restaurant with a large facade and antique decoration. An open-air table faces the river. There is Jiayuelai Restaurant in the south of Hongshiqiao in Zhong Shi, which also has a good river view.
If you can get up early, I recommend you to sit in the Fu 'anju Tea Room at No.36 Middle Street, which is only a minute's walk from Zhong Shi to the east. All the old tables and benches are not decorated, but they are very rustic. A good cup of tea costs three yuan, while ordinary tea costs only sixty cents. The teahouse is dominated by local elderly people, and the black felt hat that lingers in autumn and winter is very rustic. The old boatman who holds Wu Peng's boat to meet tourists during the day often drinks tea here in the morning, and Wu Peng's boat stops in the river in front of the door. After drinking tea, you can rent a boat and enjoy the ancient town slowly.
Scenic spot
You can choose to walk around the ancient town, because there is a bridge, so the road is accessible; You can also take Wu Peng boat, go down the river, cross bridge opening, and leisurely visit Lisan Chang Street. Most Wu Peng boats in the river can carry tourists. One boat can take three or four people, and each boat can go to 10 yuan to look along the long street. You can find a boat in front of the teahouse in the morning, and you can call a boat anywhere in the street during the day.
Wupengchuan is a small passenger ship unique to Shaoxing. The awning consists of bamboo chips and bamboo filaments in a semicircle with bamboo leaves embedded in the middle. The awning is coated with pulverized coal smoke and tung oil. Because the word "black" in Shaoxing dialect is called "Wu", it is called Wupengchuan. Wu Peng boat is also called Mingwa boat because there are transparent window awnings made of oyster shells and other materials between awnings. In the developed period of waterway transportation, Wupeng boat was the most important means of transportation in Shaoxing, and it was a unique custom in old Shaoxing to watch social dramas with Wupeng boat, which was described in Lu Xun's and Zhou Zuoren's articles. Nowadays, Wupengchuan has become a nostalgic tourism project, and it is rare to see Wupengchuan purely as a means of transportation. Ke Yan, East Lake and other places also have awning boats for tourists to rent, but Anchang's awning boat has the strongest local flavor. ]
Four scenic spots, Shi Ye Pavilion, Folk Museum, Suikang Qianzhuang and Chenghuang Temple, have been developed in the ancient town, which are distributed in Sanlichang Street from east to west. Admission to 20 yuan, 5 yuan, 8:00- 17:00. If you want to appreciate the water town, don't look at it.
Dunren Hall (located in Xiejiataimen, also known as Baoshutang) next to the Folk Museum and several old houses in the alley are all ancient buildings in Taimen. Now people don't charge tickets for their houses. If they are interested in the ancient buildings of Taimen, they can visit them on the premise of respecting the owner's wishes.
After visiting Anchang Ancient Town, if the waterway is unblocked in the right season, you can also rent a 9-kilometer waterway from Wu Peng for 60 yuan, and go to Ke Qiao for 80 yuan to enjoy the rural customs of Shaoxing along the way. Because waterways are easily blocked by aquatic plants in summer and autumn, boating in late winter and early spring is more feasible.
