Shaoxing

About Shaoxing

Shaoxing, a charming city in Zhejiang province, is a must-visit destination for its rich cultural heritage and picturesque landscapes. The city's standout attraction is the West Lake, a stunning example of traditional Chinese gardens, with beautiful lotus fields, tranquil pavilions, and serene walking paths. Travelers love taking a traditional wooden boat ride across the lake, immersing themselves in the tranquil atmosphere and admiring the surrounding scenery. The best time to visit Shaoxing is during spring or autumn when the weather is mild and the cherry blossoms or lotus flowers are in full bloom. For first-timers, we recommend trying the local specialty, Dongpo pork, which is a must-try dish when visiting the city, and can be found in many restaurants along the streets of Shaoxing old town.
