Shaoxing is the kind of city where every street tells a story — from the Lu Xun's Hometown to the East Lake (Dong Hu). But a sightseeing checklist only gets you so far. The travellers I've guided here over the years tell me the same thing: the parts they remember most aren't the famous landmarks (though those are incredible). It's the bowl of noodles at 7am from a shop that's been open since 1985. It's the moment they stumbled into a quiet courtyard and a local invited them in for tea.
That's the difference a custom tour makes. You're not just visiting Shaoxing — you're exploring it with someone who's been doing this for 15 years, who knows which ticket queues to skip, which restaurants to book, and which hidden corners are worth your time. Tell me what you want from your Shaoxing trip, and I'll build a day — or a week — around exactly that.
A half-day guided food walk through Shaoxing's best local eateries — from street food stalls to hidden gems that tourists rarely find.
Go beyond the guidebook with a local expert. Learn about Shaoxing's history, visit lesser-known temples and sites, and meet local artisans.
