Ancient Shaoxing City | Liu Yedao

Everyone has his own Jiangnan in his heart. It is a boat painted in pink and green, a beautiful girl looking around, a poetic and tender one. Spring in Jiangnan is always the most touching. Among many cities in Jiangnan, Shaoxing is a special one.

Spring in Shaoxing seems to have its own rhythm. Green grows quietly between mountains and rivers, spreads to the village at the foot of the mountain step by step, and emerges from the gap of the stone road by the river. Then there was a shower, and the moist breath filled the water town.

In Shaoxing, there is "only this green". In a spring, there are countless springs hidden. The spring in Shaoxing is quietly sprouting. At first, it may be a spring rain, which drips and drips, and looks at the wet alleys to sprout poetry. It may be petals falling with the wind, reaching for a small flower bud; Or, it's just a little bit of new green quietly appearing on the branches, on the street corners, and wherever you can see it, making people feel the faint spring.

In Shaoxing, there is a "flower feast". Spring in Shaoxing is a tree-by-tree blossom. Red, yellow, white, pink ... They are warm and unrestrained, like bright girls, always smiling at you, wave after wave, never tired.

In Shaoxing, there is "continuous spring rain". Shaoxing is not suitable for a cursory tour. It is a city worth savoring. The four seasons here have a unique flavor of the ancient city, and among the various scenery in spring, the most charming is the rainy scene.

In Shaoxing, there is "freshness in spring". The calendars of Shaoxing people are mostly changed by recipes. In spring, wild vegetables and fresh bamboo shoots everywhere are the highlights; In summer, the shrimp is fat, so it is better to eat a bowl of three fresh noodles; With the autumn wind, the "Eight Immortals of Water", such as hibiscus, came out of the water, and hairy crabs were being killed with pincers; A cup of winter-brewed yellow rice wine is the most charming in severe winter, which has hooked the soul of a wanderer for thousands of miles.

The relevant person in charge of the Shaoxing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism said that the grass and trees in Shaoxing are a lasting memory, and the beauty is unique in the customs of the four seasons.
