Hangzhou subway is directly accessible!!! Shaoxing is a very suitable place for literary and artistic youth. The small bridges, flowing water, and homes here, the harmonious coexistence of people and the natural environment here, are always telling the tranquility and elegance of this city, and it has also been naturally endowed with the attributes of play. When walking in the slanting sun and grass trees of the ancient city, ordinary lanes and alleys, you can see, learn, and realize, unknowingly, peeping into the "ideal country" of the soul. If you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the awning boats, stone roads, narrow alleys, small bridges and flowing water... This treasure town has all the poetic and picturesque of the southern water town, but it is not as commercialized as Suzhou and Hangzhou and there are so many tourists, but there is more comfort and tranquility.

Walking in Cangqiao Straight Street, take a look at the old houses along the river, look at the beautiful scenery of the water town on Baozhu Bridge, and daze in the teahouse, it's simply too comfortable! There is a heart-shaped big tree in the historical block of West Xiaolu, which is the location of the movie "Summer of West Xiaolu", it is very quiet on weekdays, and there are also many art students to sketch.

Cangqiao Straight Street in Shaoxing is located on the east side of Fushan, stretching 1.5 kilometers long, consisting of a river, residential houses, and stone-paved roads. The residences are mostly from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, representing the typical 'one river with five streets' pattern in Shaoxing city, as well as many well-preserved local characteristic Tai Men (traditional gateways), embodying the rich Jiangnan water town style. In 2003, it received the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. The old street starts from Shengli West Road in the north and reaches Lu Xun West Road in the south, successively featuring traditional ancient stone bridges such as Cang Bridge, Longmen Bridge, Baozhu Bridge, Fu Bridge, and Shimen Bridge. There are 43 various Tai Men, collectively reflecting the traditional architectural features and local customs of Shaoxing. Blue bricks, black tiles, old streets, Tai Men, black-awning boats, and stone path alleys, Cangqiao Straight Street exudes a unique charm. In Shaoxing, any house that looks a bit decent can be called a Tai Men. Tai Men are often places where clans live together, originally a term of respect for the residences of people with certain status and social standing. 📍 Address: 50 meters southwest of the intersection of Cangqiao Straight Street and Guangming Road, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province 🚘 Traffic Guide 🚇 Subway: Take the rail transit Line 1 to Lu Xun's Hometown station, and walk 500 meters to reach the Cangqiao Straight Street area 🚌 Bus: Take bus routes 177A, 177, 18, 23, or 28 to Lu Xun Primary School Station, and walk to reach the destination 🚗 Self-driving: Drive west along Shengli West Road and turn left into Cangqiao Straight Street 🎫 Ticket: Free 🕒 Opening Hours: All day 🍜 Food Recommendations Stinky tofu, cream Xiaopan, radish silk cake, yellow wine popsicle, drunken shrimp with yellow wine, Shaoxing fried buns, osmanthus and magnolia bean curd, etc

Seeking a serene beauty amidst the hustle and bustle. It was in the drizzling rain that I walked into Shaoxing Warehouse Bridge Straight Street, holding an umbrella and slowly moving along the bluestone-paved road. Unexpectedly, the usually bustling alley, due to the rain, turned into my personal haven. The breeze caressed the flowers, which swayed gently, and the rain-drenched petals, like the veins of time, quietly told the ancient stories of the old street. The greenery around the corner is vibrant, writing the quiet beauty of the ancient street in the rain into the softest chapter that reaches the depths of the heart. Ancient Street Environment: Due to the drizzle, the bluestone slabs of the ancient street shone with a soft luster, the green plants on the street were lush in the rain, and the air was fresher and more humid due to the rain's cleansing. This scene intoxicated me with an indescribable beauty. Ancient Street Food: Shaoxing's famous snacks are almost all gathered on the ancient street. Authentic yellow rice wine, paired with a bite of stinky tofu, soy sauce duck, or a plate of candied lotus root, represents the most original ingredients and Shaoxing people's ultimate seriousness about food. Here, yellow rice wine can be added to milk tea, coffee, or even made into popsicles. As for its taste, I think you should slowly measure the ancient street with your steps and then savor it carefully to utter the long-lasting 'good'. Opening Hours: All year round, all day Transportation: 1. Bus: Take routes 11, 14, or 22 to the Municipal Government Station, and then it's a short walk to Warehouse Bridge Straight Street. 2.

Cangqiao Straight Street: Ancient charm of the south of the Yangtze River, leisurely times. Strolling along Shaoxing's Cangqiao Straight Street is like traveling back to the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River a thousand years ago. This ancient street, unlike those retro streets filled with commercial vibes, is brimming with a strong sense of life. The daily lives of the original residents intertwine with this street, forming a unique landscape. The name of Cangqiao Straight Street is rich in historical connotations. 'Cang' (warehouse) records the traces of goods storage from ancient times, while 'qiao' (bridge) represents the unique scenery of Shaoxing, a city of water. From north to south, stone bridges such as Cang Bridge, Baozhu Bridge, and Fu Bridge are lined up in sequence, as if narrating the past of the old city. The words 'Straight Street' imply both the prosperity of the past and the bustle of today. It is recommended to follow the route from the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, Bazi Bridge, Shen Garden, Lu Xun's hometown, and finally to Cangqiao Straight Street. This not only allows you to experience the historical culture of Shaoxing but also to taste the authentic charm of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. In Cangqiao Straight Street, food is also an unmissable part. Stinky tofu, cream Xiaopan, yellow wine popsicles, and mulian tofu are all special snacks here. Dishes like dried vegetable pork, Shaoxing Sanxian, drunken chicken, and mildewed amaranth steamed tofu are authentic Shaoxing cuisine, each with an unforgettable taste. Cangqiao Straight Street is an open street block, with no admission fee and open around the clock. Whether it's day or night, there are different styles waiting for you to discover. When you come to Shaoxing, you must walk along Cangqiao Straight Street to feel the unique atmosphere of the south of the Yangtze River, and let your soul find peace and relaxation in this ancient charm.

I recommend the area around Guangning Bridge on Cangqiao Straight Street, where there are several neem trees. It's worth wandering around, and there's also a popular spot for taking photos with the wall-climbing roses right on Guangning Bridge. In the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, there's only one tree, although it's a classic spot, it tends to be crowded, so if you want to take portraits, you should go early in the morning. Transportation: You can get there from Hangzhou by direct subway or train, and it's also convenient to drive.

🌟Highlight features: Cangqiao Straight Street is located in the Yuezi City Historical and Cultural Protection Zone, with typical Jiangnan-style white walls and black tiles, blue stone slabs, and black awning boats. It has a picturesque scenery of small bridges, flowing water, and houses, and is a famous historical and cultural district in old Shaoxing, as well as a landmark pedestrian street. 👍Most recommended: This old street is not too long, with traditional water town houses on both sides of the river, each with a small river dock in the backyard, typical of the "one river, five streets" pattern in Shaoxing city. The street is lined with Shaoxing's unique Taihe buildings, but nowadays most of the buildings on both sides are shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. 📝Tips: The commercialization level of Cangqiao Straight Street is higher than that of Shusheng Hometown and Baziqiao District. The three districts are not very far apart and can be visited in one day. If you only go to two, I personally recommend Shusheng Hometown and Baziqiao. 🚉Transportation guide: Take a bus within Shaoxing city and get off at stations such as Huangyi Bridge, Luxun Primary School, and Shaoxing Grand Theater to walk to Zhijie Street.
