Shaoxing stands out as a gem in China’s cultural landscape, blending over two millennia of history with a charm that feels both timeless and alive. Known as the “City of Canals,” it offers serene boat rides under arched bridges, reminiscent of Venice but with a distinctly Chinese spirit. It’s the birthplace of literary giant Lu Xun, whose former residence is a pilgrimage site for book lovers. The city’s yellow wine, fermented for centuries, is a taste of tradition you won’t find anywhere else. Add to that its textile heritage, vibrant festivals, and streets where calligraphy flows like poetry, and you’ve got a destination that captivates every traveler. We created Shaoxing Heritage to help you discover why this city has enchanted visitors for generations.
