“Shaoxing Inviting You ‘Over’ the millennium in the Spring Festival of Jiachen!”, the Chinese-English bilingual Chinese New Year invitation letter, still remains. On February 22nd, Shaoxing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism once again issued an invitation with the theme of “Shaoxing Demonstrating the Whole South of the Yangtze River”, inviting netizens from all over the world to go to a misty and rainy spring in the south of the Yangtze River and feel the unique charm of Shaoxing’s spring.
There is a kind of spring called Shaoxing.
In Shaoxing, it has its own “green”. The spring in Shaoxing is quietly sprouting. At first, it may be a spring rain, which drips and drips, watching 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, it offers a “flower feast”. Spring in Shaoxing is a blossom one by one. Red, yellow, white, pink … They are warm and unrestrained, like bright girls, always smiling at you, wave after wave, never tired.

In Shaoxing, it delivers a “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, it spreads “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.
