Compared to the hometown of Lu Xun, I recommend this hidden gem in Shaoxing even more

Shaoxing is not just about the Lu Xun's hometown, Shen Garden, and the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy in the city area... Keqiao has always been one of the must-visit spots in my heart! Keqiao originated in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was an ancient quarry in Shaoxing, "Cliffs rise a thousand feet, perilous peaks locked in the mist". Through continuous mining, the divine work of nature has created variously shaped stone cliffs - Keqiao scenic area is divided into three parts: Keqiao, Jianhu, and Luzhen. The estimated time for a visit is about half a day - Luzhen→Luzhen Theatre Pier (take a painted boat)→Jianhu Wine Island Pier (disembark and walk)→Baiyu Long Dam→Jiuqu Bridge→Keqiao Great Buddha→Luzhen Painted boat 15 from Luzhen Theatre Pier to Jianhu Wine Island Pier or in reverse direction. Black-awning boat 35 from Baichuan Pier to Jiuqu Bridge Pier→Houmalu Lotus Pond→Ancient Towpath Pier The ancient quarry has created variously shaped stone cliffs, caves, pools, columns, and walls... Attractions include: Tian Gong Great Buddha, Yun Bone, Cliff Inscriptions, Ancient Qixingyan, etc. "Eight hundred li of Jianhu", not only does it have unique natural scenery, but also many historical sites. There is a long ancient towpath in the lake, also known as "Baiyu Long Dam", which was the channel for ancient people to tow boats and also a barrier for passing ships to avoid wind and waves Integrates the folk customs, architectural charm, and natural landscape of old Shaoxing water towns. Here you can go to Luzhen Grand Theatre to watch a "She Opera" from Lu Xun's writings Guazhu Lake Station→◆Taxi for 20 minutes. Navigation for self-driving: Keqiao Scenic Area No.2/No.3 parking lot. The scenic area is open until 16:30 at the latest (Luzhen is open all day for free)
