A stunning view in China! The charms and recommended guide of Shaoxing's "Anchang Ancient Town"

[Shaoxing's water town, Anchang Ancient Town, is a tourist attraction that still retains the atmosphere of the good old Jiangnan. It is a town that breathes history and culture, with beautiful cobblestone alleys and traditional houses along the canals, and dotted with specialty soy sauce breweries and handicraft shops. [Sights] Traditional soy sauce breweries: Soy sauce production has been popular in Anchang since ancient times, and you can visit the breweries. You can observe the fragrant soy sauce production process up close. Floating market: At the morning market, local vegetables and seafood are lined up, and you can enjoy a lively scene. Old stone bridge and canal: Take a boat ride along the canal to fully experience the atmosphere of the water town. [Recommended activities] Handicraft experience: You can try traditional crafts such as thread weaving and paper cutting. Local cuisine: Be sure to try Shaoxing wine and Anchang's specialty "Lajiang (dried intestines)". [Access] About 30 minutes by bus from Shaoxing city center. It gets crowded during the tourist season, so it is recommended to visit early in the morning. Why not visit Anchang Ancient Town to enjoy the leisurely pace of this water town?
