What are the places of interest and historic sites in Shaoxing?

Introducing the main places of interest in Shaoxing:

Let’s talk about the natural landscape first. Shaoxing has beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Lu Xun’s hometown: Lu Xun’s hometown has become a historical district with a unique Jiangnan style. It has become a real place to interpret Lu Xun’s works authentically, taste the scenery in Lu Xun’s writings, and experience Lu Xun’s life situation at that time. On both sides of a narrow bluestone road, there are a row of pink walls and black tiles, a bamboo gate, Lu Xun's ancestral residence, Lu Xun's former residence, Baicao Garden, Sanwei Bookstore, and Xianheng Hotel. A small river flows in front of Lu Xun's former residence, and a awning boat floats in front of it. Swaying on the river, this scene cannot help but remind people of some scenes in Lu Xun's works. After careful protection and restoration, Lu Xun's hometown has become a place for three-dimensional interpretation of Lu Xun, a great modern Chinese writer, and has become the "treasure of the town" in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

Kuiji Mountain:

The first of the nine famous mountains in China. The Kuaiji Mountains are located between the Cao'e River and the Puyang River and are the watershed between the two rivers. Its territory spans cities and counties such as Shaoxing, Shangyu, Shengzhou, Zhuji, Xiaoshan, Pujiang, Yiwu, and Dongyang. On a small scale, it refers to the mountains north of the Xiaoshun River. The famous ones include Qinwang Mountain, Fahua Mountain, Lanzhu Mountain and Keshi Mountain. According to legend, Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods. After taking over the throne, he worshiped the earth god in this mountain and made alliances with the princes. After his death, he was also buried in this mountain. In the Sui Dynasty, it was listed as one of the Five Mountains and Four Towns, namely Nanzhen Kuaiji Mountain. There are a lot of monuments and legends about Xia Yu. ?

Jianhu Lake

Zhejiang Province Scenic Area. Located in the southwest suburbs of Shaoxing City, it is named after the clear water of the lake that can be used to identify people. It is also known as Jinghu, Qinghu, Nanhu, Changhu, Dahu, Zhaohu, Hejiahu, Hejian Lake, Daihu, etc. In the fifth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (140), Ma Zhen, the prefect of Kuaiji, presided over the construction. At that time, it spanned Shanyin and Kuaiji counties, spanning 160 miles, with a circumference of 360 miles, collecting water from 36 sources, and irrigating more than 9,000 hectares of farmland. After the Southern Song Dynasty, fields were built around the lake, and the lake gradually became smaller. Today's Jianhu Lake is the remnant of ancient Jianhu Lake. From Pianmen to Hutang, the lake is about 4 kilometers wide at its widest point, covering about 30 square kilometers of water surface. The scenery around Renrangyan is the best. There are islands in the lake and mountains around the lake. The mountains and rivers blend together and the scenery is natural. Along the lake are Ma Zhen's tomb and temple, Kuaige, Taoist village, Sanshan Luyou's hometown, Keyan, Hutang and other scenic spots and historic sites.

Bazi Bridge

A key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province. It is located at the east end of Baziqiao Straight Street in Shaoxing City. The two bridges are opposite and inclined, shaped like eight characters, hence the name. The current bridge was rebuilt in the fourth year of Baoji reign of the Southern Song Dynasty (1256) and repaired in the forty-eighth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1783). It was renovated again in 1982. The bridge is located at the intersection of three rivers. The main bridge spans the Jishan River and runs east-west. The bridge deck is paved with flat stones, 4.85 meters long, 3.2 meters wide, and has a clear span of 4.5 meters. There are railings on the bridge, and the pillars are carved with lotus flowers. There are cloud-shaped buckets under the canes. There are 9 stone pillars on the east and west sides of the bridge foundation. Among them, the center pillar on the west side is engraved with the inscription "Shibao? Built on an auspicious day in the middle of winter in Bingchen". The east side of the bridge slopes down to the north and south, and the west side of the bridge slopes down to the south, each spanning a small river. There is a towpath under the bridge.

East Lake

It is located at the northern foot of Ruozhen Mountain, 6 kilometers east of Shaoxing City. The area is 5.79 hectares. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang stopped here to feed his horses during his eastward tour. Commonly known as Raomen Mountain. The mountains are full of hard rocks, which are widely used. Since the Han Dynasty, rocks have been drilled and quarried, creating cliffs and deep pools. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tao Junxuan, a native of Kuaiji, built an embankment as a boundary. The embankment formed a long and narrow lake area extending east and west with mountains and rivers interdependent. Walls were built on the embankment to form an enclosed garden. During the Anti-Japanese War, all buildings were destroyed. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, after several renovations, the lake and mountain landscape took on a completely new look. It is known as the "Jiangnan Water and Stone Bonsai" and is known as the three famous lakes in Zhejiang together with Hangzhou West Lake and Jiaxing South Lake. The entire East Lake is a clever combination of rocks, caves, stone bridges and lake surfaces, among which "Xiantao Cave" and "Taogong Cave" are the best. Inscribed on the stone wall of Taogong Cave are Guo Moruo's poem about visiting the lake, Chen Congzhou's "Wanzi Tiankai", Shu Tong's "Qifeng" and other inscriptions. There are also Xiangji Pavilion, Yinlu Pavilion, Tingjiu Pavilion, Guiling, Qinqiao, Xiachuan Bridge, etc. dotted in the lake area. The "Taoshe" at the west end was rebuilt in 1981, facing south, covering an area of ??116 square meters. In the middle hangs a plaque inscribed by Sun Yat-sen "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers", and Tao Chengzhang's achievements are displayed indoors. In early 1996, the scenic area was expanded, the area was expanded, the entrance was moved from east to west, and a night light landscape was added. ?
