Most of the existing old streets were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is known as "the clear water runs through the streets and the seventeen bridges across the river are rainbows". It is also the hometown of a famous master. The ancient town is based on an east-west river, with businesses on the north bank and people living on the south bank. It is connected by seventeen ancient bridges. The corridors and sheds along the river are hung with sausages and duck sauce. The ancient method of drying the sauce in Renchang Sauce Garden is the source of the flavor, and it is full of everyday atmosphere.

八字桥

The Eight-Character Bridge is located in the north of the ancient city of Shaoxing. It was first built during the Jiatai period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1201-1204), more than 800 years ago. It is named after the two bridge holes facing each other and shaped like the character "eight". It spans three rivers and connects four streets. It is known as "China's earliest urban overpass". It is a national key cultural protection unit and a World Heritage Site of the Grand Canal. The bridge connects three streets and three rivers, allowing pedestrians and boats to go their own way, integrating into the texture of the old city without demolishing houses or changing streets. The surrounding Baziqiao historical district is still home to a large number of aboriginal people, and there is almost no commercialization. The bluestone road, Zhenshui folk houses, and Huanyi in the river port are the most authentic daily life of Shaoxing's water town.

仓桥直街

Cangqiao Straight Street is a historic neighbourhood in Shaoxing where canals, stone bridges and residential lanes form the setting for a slower walk. Look beyond the shopfronts to the relationship between homes and waterways. Nearby museums and courtyards have their own access conditions; the street is not a single attraction ticket or a guarantee that every building is open.

兰亭

Lanting is located at the foot of Lanzhu Mountain about 13 kilometers southwest of Shaoxing City. It is famous all over the world because Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", "the best running script in the world" here. It is a pilgrimage place for calligraphy lovers. The scenic spot is famous for the Chinese garden aesthetics of lush forests and bamboos and winding water bottles. The core attractions include Echi ("Echi" monument of father and son), Lanting Stele Pavilion (Kangxi imperial pen), winding water bottle ruins, Wang Youjun Temple, Imperial Stele Pavilion (the same stele for the ancestors of Kangxi and Qianlong), Linchi Eighteen Tanks, Tianzhang Temple Ruins and Lanting Calligraphy Museum.

大禹陵

The site connects Kuaiji Mountain with the memory of Dayu, the flood control hero and founder of the dynasty in early Chinese tradition. Temples, inscriptions, sacrificial axes, and later monuments represent national and local commemorations of past dynasties, not archaeologically confirmed tomb life. A careful visit should distinguish between mythology, sacrificial history and physical landscape, and at the same time understand the importance of the combination of the three.

绍兴博物馆

Shaoxing Museum introduces ancient Yue archaeological culture and urban development through weapons, ritual vessels, ceramics, and regional tomb and settlement materials. The compact chronology explains the political world behind familiar stories such as Gou Jian, and also helps understand later canals, bridges and craft traditions. Museum evidence allows for a deeper presentation of pre-Qin history beyond the tourism of literary celebrities.
