Stay in a Hidden Traditional Courtyard Residence and Discover Old Shaoxing in the Scenery

In the map of China's Jiangnan water towns, Shaoxing is undoubtedly a unique part. The renowned poet Mu Xin held it in high regard: "The boneless Jiangnan is not only Suzhou; to see the bone of Jiangnan, one must look to Shaoxing." It is the water town of black-canopied boats with Jiangnan's gentle charm depicted by Lu Xun, embodying the resilience of "fierce-browed, I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers; head bowed, like a willing ox I serve the children," as well as the endurance and humility of King Goujian of Yue, who slept on brushwood and tasted gall... There are many reasons to set Shaoxing as a travel destination. Whether it's for a glass of aged yellow wine, the essay "From Hundred-Plant Garden to Three-Flavors Study," the poignant love story of Shen Garden, or the hidden wonders in the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, for hotel enthusiasts, the Shaoxing Jiujianlou Shangfeng Hotel, nestled within the Keyan Scenic Area, is the best reason to embark on this journey. Not only is it a destination in itself, but it also guides you to explore the purest essence of Shaoxing. The hotel continues Shaoxing's unique "Taimen" architectural style, presenting the Taimen structure in a fresh, inverted black-wall design, transforming obscure cultural elements into tangible architectural forms. Inside the hotel, it serves as a stage for literati poetry and painting. More than half of the public spaces are designed as courtyards, art galleries, all-day dining rooms, tea ceremony spaces, coffee shops, and lobby lounges... Masterpieces by renowned artists are displayed everywhere, with art exhibitions updated regularly, allowing you to enjoy a cultural feast without ever leaving the premises.
