Day Trips from Shanghai

I started earlier in 2017 to capture some ideas for visitors and residents for day trips from Shanghai. Since then, I posted on Fengjing, Nanjing, Nanxiang,

Next, let’s go to Shaoxing. The city is located about 230 km mostly south (and somewhat west) of Shanghai. It is on the high-speed train path to multiple cities in the region, thus relatively easily accessible – even during Chinese New Year – which is when we visited.

Included below are some photos from the trip to Luxun’s native place. Upon arrival at the train station – Shaoxing North Station – look for the signs for taxi and take one – the bus takes over 1 hour and 10-15 minutes so the taxi is a better choice if you are on a limited time schedule. The fare to Luxun’s place with the cab should be 55-60RMB.

The entrance to the Luxun compound is from the ZhongXing Zhong Lu. In the first photo below you can see how that entrance is decked out for Chinese New Year — all in red lanterns… pretty cute.

Hopefully the images above gave you some idea on the place and what you could see in Shaoxing. The place is often referred to as the “museum without walls” – there is a reason for that – a lot to see…
