Shoaxing is a REALLY old city, like 2,500 years old! Holy shit! It quickly became one of my favorite cities to visit since I only lived 40 minutes away by bus and 10 by high speed train. When I was broke, I took the 7A bus from Shangyu to Shoaxing at the old train station bus stop. Check this out, it only cost 5rmb (77¢) one way! However, whenever I felt like splurging like a BOSS I took the high speed train which cost 12rmb ($1.84) one way lol
On this trip, my roommate and I decided to begin our trip by exploring a common neighborhood, but little did we know that it was going to be less than common as we were able to experience the rich traditional lifestyle all around us! From old men playing cards outside their houses to dilapidated corner shops, this neighborhood was simple beautiful as it captured the true essence of China (or at least what we foreigners picture it to be). Located near China's most famous stone bridge, the 13th century Bazi Bridge, I had a great time exploring this hidden gem of a neighborhood!
After leaving this part of town, my housemate and I visited the Baozhu Bridge only to find one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL sceneries we had ever seen! First of all, we saw the unique Wu-Peng boats which can only be seen in Shoaxing. These boats are one of a kind because the boatmen use their feet to row the boat! Aside from being awestruck by these boats, we were also captivated by the beauty of the Yanyu Teahouse and the surrounding architecture! Don't miss out on visiting this bridge as it's environment serves as the perfect backdrop for a picture, that's 100% guaranteed!
As I usually recommend, explore Shaoxing's main tourists sites, but don't be afraid to just get out there and explore a random neighborhood! I assure you there will be something beautiful worthy of seeing!
