A Niche Trip Near Shaoxing: Visit the Calligraphy Sage's Former Residence

🎈Friends, today I want to share with you a place full of cultural heritage and charm—the Calligraphy Sage's Former Residence. 🌟The Calligraphy Sage's Former Residence, as the name suggests, is where the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi once lived. Walking on the bluestone road, I can't help but imagine Wang Xizhi wielding his brush and splashing ink back in the day. What unrestrained talent and artistry! Every corner here is filled with the spirit of calligraphy, making one completely immersed and unable to extricate themselves. 📍Address: No. 62, Jishan Street, Jishan Subdistrict, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City📍 🚗Transportation: Super convenient! A 15-minute walk🚶‍♂️ from Shaoxing Railway Station; take Kuaiche 70/BRT1 to Songmeiqiao Station🚌; or easily reach the destination by bus from Shaoxing Passenger Transport Center via bus routes 111/61/63🚌. 🕐Opening hours: 8:30–17:00⏰. 🎫Tickets: Free admission🎉! 🚶Visiting route: Grandpa's Bookstore📚➡️Ink Pond🖋️➡️Duopo Lane🚶‍♀️➡️Plum Blossom Poetry Corridor🌸➡️Jifang Bridge🌉➡️Fan Inscription Bridge🖌️ ✅Attraction Introduction: 1️⃣Grandpa's Bookstore📚: This bookstore is full of stories and has been featured many times on CCTV and provincial TV! Every book is like an antique, making for great photos📸! 2️⃣Ink Pond🖋️: Wang Xizhi's inkstone washing pond. The pond water has turned dark from years of inkstone washing, and it's a popular photo spot📸. There's also a "Shaoxing" sign nearby for photos! 3️⃣Duopo Lane🚶‍♀️: Legend has it that this is where Wang Xizhi hid from his mother-in-law to inscribe fans.

The stone steps on the bridge are smooth, and from the bridge, you can capture a perfect blend of the pagoda, bridge, river, and Wu Peng boats🖼️. 6️⃣Fan Inscription Bridge🖌️: Named after Wang Xizhi's fan inscription, you can see his calligraphy on the bridge!
