What travelers say:
Although it was not big, it took nearly 4 hours. In the end, Bank of China did not go because it was closed. It is recommended that the lychee bubble water in the Shaoxiao Hall at the end. The blue is very beautiful and delicious. There is air-conditioning inside to charge the mobile phone for free. The owner is super good. ～

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I have a special fondness for this hidden gem of Jiangnan!Anchang Ancient Town, a thousand-year-old town nestled in the gentle dreams of the Jiangnan water towns, is located in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It boasts an authentic water town landscape, quaint stone bridges and flowing waters, ancient houses and corridors built along the river, and a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. Not only is it the hometown of Shaoxing's 'Shiye' (a historical profession akin to a legal advisor), but it also preserves ancient crafts such as sauce-making and pulling white sugar, with every detail exuding a strong sense of life and historical charm. 🍃【Must-Visit Attractions】 - 🚤 Strolling along the ancient canal: Taking a ride on a black-awning boat through the town's waterways is an experience not to be missed.

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I prefer this low-key small town in the Jiangnan regionThis year, I visited many ancient towns, but only Anchang Ancient Town in Zhejiang's Shaoxing gave me the true experience of a Jiangnan water town. A long and narrow river runs through the entire ancient town, and walking among the stone bridges, black-awning boats, and white walls with black tiles is extremely beautiful. 🚗 How to get to Anchang Ancient Town As one of the four major ancient towns in Shaoxing, Anchang Ancient Town is located in Keqiao District. Departing from the downtown area of Shaoxing, it takes about 40 minutes by self-driving or taxi. 🚌 Public transportation: Take the subway line 1 + bus 805, about 1h. 🎫: There is no admission fee for Anchang Ancient Town, and half a day is enough for a visit. 🚶 Travel Recommendations The beauty of Anchang Ancient Town lies not only in its pristine natural scenery but also in its bustling market life. On one side, there are local snack stalls, and on the other, historic buildings, all in perfect harmony. I strolled around Anchang Ancient Town for half a day and came up with a route that doesn't require backtracking, which you can follow: '📍Main entrance → Suikang Money House → Stone Carving Museum → Shaoxing Xuanjuan Museum → Shiyeguan → Anchang Folk Customs Museum → Ankang Temple → Renchang Sauce Garden → Former Site of Bank of China' To make the most of your visit: 1️⃣ Take a black-awning boat ride. Compared to the small rivers in the downtown area of Shaoxing, the river here is about 2 kilometers long and more extensive, allowing you to experience the charm of Jiangnan while rowing. 🌊 2️⃣ Try the yellow wine popsicle and fermented rice buns. These local specialties are cheap and delicious. 😋 3️⃣ Visit Renchang Sauce Garden. This place was a filming location for 'A Bite of China,' and the garden's 2,000-plus sauce jars are very impressive. 🥘: The ancient town has many snack shops and restaurants, mostly run by locals, where you can taste local specialties. Compared to the crowded ancient towns in Jiangnan, Anchang Ancient Town has fewer tourists and is suitable for leisurely strolls. It's very photogenic, and you can take great pictures just by walking around 📷 (ps: Drone aerial photography of the ancient town is even more beautiful) Next time I come to Shaoxing, I want to visit Anchang Ancient Town again. This niche and beautiful place is really worth it.DARWIN SANDERS
So far this year, my favorite city has emergedWhen I visited Zhejiang, I was amazed by Shaoxing—the little bridges over flowing water, the black tiles and white walls, without the noise of the city or excessive commercialization. Especially on rainy days, Shaoxing is as beautiful as a misty rain painting. I regret only now visiting Shaoxing, this low-key water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a must-visit in my heart❗️ 🚶 Shaoxing 3-day 2-night itinerary ▫️day1 Lu Xun's Hometown→Xu Wei Art Museum→Jie Min Library→Sage's Hometown→Fu Mountain Park→West Xiaolu ▫️day2 Lanting→Anchang Ancient Town ▫️day3 Shaoxing Museum→Yangming's Hometown→Pioneer Bookstore→Ancient Canal Path 🎐 Must-visit attractions in Shaoxing Spend two or three days in the hometown of Lu Xun, take a ride on a black-awning boat, and appreciate the ancient literati landmarks, and you will be moved by the beauty of Shaoxing. 1️⃣ Lanting The 'Orchid Pavilion Preface' by Wang Xizhi was born here, with the stunning Goose Pond🪿, Tianzhang Temple, and Qu Shui Liu Shang... A beautiful scene at every step, you won't want to leave. 2️⃣ Lu Xun's Hometown Lu Xun's hometown could guarantee Shaoxing a lifetime of glory and wealth🤣 The Hundred Grass Garden and Sanwei Study are childhood memories. 3️⃣ West Xiaolu Compared to the crowded Cangqiao Straight Street, I recommend the original West Xiaolu, which also has a super beautiful heart-shaped tree🌳 4️⃣ Yangming's Hometown The hometown of Wang Yangming, arguably the most beautiful architecture in Shaoxing, with great Chinese aesthetics. 5️⃣ Anchang Ancient Town One of the four great ancient towns of Shaoxing, the two-kilometer old street is built along the river, and it's very pleasant to walk on the small bridges🌊 6️⃣ Fu Mountain Park A free, less crowded treasure park, it's like a green fairyland, and the Yue Wang Terrace is worth a visit. 7️⃣ Sage's Hometown The hometown of Wang Xizhi and Cai Yuanpei, with the Ink Pool, Bi Fei Nong, and Ti Shan Bridge, has a historical atmosphere. 8️⃣ Xu Wei Art Museum & Green Vine Book House The former residence of the Ming Dynasty painter Xu Wei, where you can view his handed-down paintings and calligraphy. 9️⃣ Shaoxing Museum Few tourists, but the collection is not to be underestimated❗️ Yue kiln celadon, Wu Yue bronze swords, and ice crack bowls are all treasures. 🔟 Jie Min Library 'Jie Min' comes from Mr. Cai Yuanpei's name, and the architecture is beautiful. 1️⃣1️⃣ Pioneer Bookstore·Jianhu Store Pioneer Bookstore's new store in Shaoxing, almost no tourists, overlooking the bookstore is like a whale in Jian Lake. 1️⃣2️⃣ Ancient Canal Path The ancient path in the lake built during the Tang Dynasty, with a total length of more than nine thousand meters, has been preserved for a thousand years. 🏨 Accommodation & Food Recommendations I recommend staying near Lu Xun's Hometown for convenient transportation, with direct access by subway and bus. For food, you must try Shaoxing's drunken crab, yellow wine, stinky tofu, yellow wine milk tea, and Ciwu noodles. During my days in Shaoxing, I really didn't want to leave; this is the true Jiangnan of my dreams.CraftyCreations

I was the one who carried a big bag of rice cakes around for a whole night... - 👉Circular route Main entrance→The first corridor of the breeze→City God Temple→Suikang Money House→Stone Carving Museum→Shaoxing Scroll Museum→Teacher's Museum→Anchang Folk Customs Museum→Ankang Temple→Renchang Sauce Garden→Old site of Bank of China - 🎫Free admission 🛰️Self-driving directly navigate to Anchang Ancient Town parking lot 🚇Shaoxing Metro Line 1 China Textile City Station, after exiting the station you can choose to take a taxi, it is said that it can be reached in about 15 minutes, or take bus 816/805, I am not in a hurry, I chose to take the bus - 🌆It is recommended to arrive before evening for sightseeing, to see the appearance of the ancient town during the day, and to appreciate the beauty under the moon and red lanternscleverdeeanna3

Although it was not big, it took nearly 4 hours. In the end, Bank of China did not go because it was closed. It is recommended that the lychee bubble water in the Shaoxiao Hall at the end. The blue is very beautiful and delicious. There is air-conditioning inside to charge the mobile phone for free. The owner is super good. ～
As one of the four ancient towns in Shaoxing, it still retains a more ecological appearance than the original. However, the ancient town is not big, with old houses on both sides of a river, mainly residential houses on the south bank of the north bank of the commercial city, and the river is almost dry.
During May 1st, everyone from everyone to the public, usually should be good, suitable for slowly swimming, antique, life atmosphere, fireworks in the world, closed a bit early, not allowed to enter after five o'clock, only three of the 6 attractions visited.
Anchang Ancient Town has a long history. It is an original ancient town. The fireworks are also very strong. Generally speaking, it is not lost to Lu Xun's hometown scenic spot. The ancient town does not charge but the eight attractions inside are charged. But it is currently just a free stage, so it is still very worth a visit. It is very close to the Keqiao Center ～ driving or from The hotel I stayed in was very convenient. The current year taste was very strong. There was a free blessing sticker in the square in front of the visitor center. I could also play drums. The little princess could use a simple route to visit. Remember ～ Don't cross the bridge to the opposite Renchang Sauce Garden. (Most of the eight attractions are on the bridge side), in order: Chenghuang Palace ～ Kangsui Qianzhuang Former Site ～ Stone Carving Hall ～ Xuanjuan Hall ～ Shiye Museum, of which Kangsui Qianzhuang is more difficult to find, after the Chenghuang Palace has to pass through a long commercial street, and then in an alley. I can't find the suggestion to ask the merchant, but it is definitely worth a visit; The stone sculpture hall is full of old antiques worth slowly appreciating. The Xuanjuan Hall is also outside but very easy to find. It is with the Red Square. The Master Museum is the core attraction of the entire scenic spot. The content inside is indeed very rich. It introduces the past and present life of Master Shaoxing in detail. After visiting the Master Hall, cross the bridge to the opposite side. Not far from the other core attraction of the scenic spot ～ Folklore Hall, the content is also very rich, so that children can understand the folk customs of Anchang Ancient Town, adding a lot of knowledge, Ankang Temple is newly built, outside the scenic spot, We didn’t go to ～ We didn’t go. The old site of Bank of China is not big, but it is very time-sensitive. Finally, we will visit Renchang Sauce Garden. Then we will happily end this day trip to the ancient town. It really takes a day to go shopping, but it feels very fulfilling. I also hope that Anchang Ancient Town will learn from the ancient town of Nanxun. It can be permanently free, so that more tourists from the country can learn more about the culture of the ancient town.
I saw Li Yunxuan's "Theatre China Heart" recorded here, and I felt that the scenery of the water town was good, so I came to stroll around.
The tickets for this attraction are a bit pitted. In fact, you can visit the ancient town without buying tickets. It is only that there are six charged attractions that will check the tickets, but the more pitted is that the security guard at the door has to stop you. Seeing that you have a record of buying tickets, he let you in. If you just want to go in and stroll around, you can buy tickets on Trip.com and then refund them after you go in, but the six small attractions inside will not go in.
The ancient town full of flavor, every family is carrying bacon sausage, sauce and other dry goods, the scene is very spectacular, on both sides of the river bank, while full of fireworks, while comparing literary styles, two different styles, walking around to see and stroll is very good.
