On August 5^th

The award ceremony for the General Evaluation List of 2019 China Culture and Tourism was held

In this General Evaluation List,

the old town Shaoxing was listed in the China’s Feature Study Tour Destinations 2019

Shaoxing is an ancient waterside town with a thousand years of history

It inherits the style of Wei and Jin dynasties

and has developed a powerful temperament

Bridges above the river, buildings with white walls and black tiles, and large compounds beside old streets

It is mixed with poetic tenderness,

and vitality of folk life

Wandering around in the Fushan Park

Appreciate the fragrance of flowers, colorful leaves and beautiful scenery

Here and there seek for nothing but feel warm and simple

Go along the Cangqiao straight street

with a length of 1.5km

Surrounded by the bridge, water and houses

Stepping on the slate or wet moss

is like being transformed to another world

Ramble about the Bazi Bridge Street

Old houses next to the tall buildings

Dwellings beside the river

Here is an epitome of old streets in Shaoxing

Numerous prominent persons were born here

Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun, Qiu Jin....

Shaoxing is where Cai Yuanpei grew up, lived and worked as a revolutionary

because there were many other celebrities

A cup of rice wine contains not only the past days,

but also the traditional ritual, the heroic spirit,

and the artistic rhyme.

Lu Xun Native Place

Lu Xun, who devoted his lifetime to fighting with the pen as his weapon, represented the national soul of China. His spirit of fighting and self-sacrificing significantly affected the Chinese nation. The Study Tour for Lu Xun is to learn the spirit of Lu Xun and remember the history.

The white walls and black tiles that was constructed hundreds of years ago as well as various historical blocks fully express the humanism and elegance of Shaoxing.
