Shaoxing self-driving tour, first arrived at Anchang Ancient Town, but the weather is really hot. Many restaurants along the river only have fans. I found this one with air conditioning on the review website, and it was super cool inside when I entered. The "Fried Clams with Fermented Bean Curd" tasted okay, with a hint of fermented bean curd, but most of the clams were not fully opened, and some had sand in them. "Shao San Xian" is said to be a specialty dish in Shaoxing, but the taste is just average, and there are not many side dishes in it, not very delicious. The dishes in the scenic area are okay in terms of taste, and the prices are also acceptable.

The prices of this store are beautiful, and the environment is also very nice. This time I ordered a black fish bone pot, and the taste was amazing. The creamy white soup looked like it was stewed with bone for a long time, and it was served with black fish slices and tender meat. I've never had such a tender black fish pot before. The other fruit cups were also very good, and there was a special gift of popcorn, which was absolutely delicious.

Actually, I have stayed at Yahuo many times, and I think they provide the best additional services. The front desk always gives me free ice cream and iced tea, and they even provide sunscreen hand cream when I go out. I know that I will definitely book with them again next time, I am extremely satisfied. The rooms have a unified decoration nationwide, the bed is very soft and comfortable, and the bedding is clean and neat. They have aplus service, so they provide late-night snacks, goodnight milk, Bluetooth headphones, and aromatherapy, etc. The breakfast and fitness center are also great. Lastly, I have to praise their multi-story parking lot, you can drive in from the front and the car automatically turns around and comes out the next day, it's high-tech and satisfying!

I looked at the menu and thought their dishes are divided into three parts: appetizers, which are pre-seasoned and placed on the table; seafood, which is prepared in a semi-open kitchen using a pot and high heat; congee, with several flavors cooked in a large pot. The set meal we ordered also consists of these three dishes. The vegetarian dishes, except for the cucumber salad, appear to be a bit dull and possibly left out for a long time. The soulful opium fish has tender flesh and crispy bones. The black tiger prawns are very chewy. The signature razor clams are likely seasoned with butter, and taste rich and fragrant. These three dishes are all cooked with a pot, and they are flavorful and heavy in taste. The signature pork bone congee has a large bone in the base, and it has a slightly salty and fragrant taste.

The quality standard of recommended home-cooked dishes by friends, guided by navigation, is not far to walk. However, it is important to advise everyone to use a combination of navigation and asking for directions because the navigation is not very accurate. The restaurant is hidden in a residential building, and the owner is very enthusiastic and talkative. The speed of serving dishes is fast, and they can be described as excellent in terms of color, aroma, and taste. Moreover, the prices are much more affordable than those of the hawking restaurants, and the environment is also good. It is a family-style home-cooked dish, and guests can help themselves to the main dish of rice, according to their preference. It is highly recommended.

This place is very clean and comfortable to stay in. The price is not cheap, but it's worth it. The decorations are thoughtful and I really like it. The young lady who runs the shop provides attentive service, such as helping with luggage transportation. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily this time, so I didn't get to try the coffee from the beautiful lady boss. I'll try it next time if I have the chance. The food at the shop is also delicious. They happened to have freshly caught crabs and the fish and shrimp were also very fresh. Although the price is a bit high, it's worth every penny. There are many other little details that are great, but I won't mention them all. I recommend exploring and experiencing it yourself!

Putuo Mountain is the sacred place of Guanyin Bodhisattva, known as the "Buddhist Kingdom of the Sea and Sky". The whole island is shaped like a long strip, with distances between attractions ranging from 2 to 10 kilometers. The main attractions are divided into three areas centered around Puzhao Temple, Nanshai Guanyin, and Foding Mountain, respectively. It takes about half a day to explore each area. Nanshai Guanyin is the iconic building on the island, and Guanyin Hall, which is not willing to be visited, has the most legendary legends of Putuo Mountain, which cannot be missed. In addition to religious sites, there are two excellent beaches, Qianbu Sha and Baibu Sha, on the east side of the island, where visitors who enjoy the sea and playing in the water can go. Generally, it takes about 2-3 days to visit Putuo Mountain scenic area, and accommodation and dining on the island are required. The prices on the island are higher than outside, so it is advisable to bring some snacks and drinks if possible.

At the beach, barbecuing is the first choice. After renting and buying barbecue utensils and ingredients, everyone enjoys eating very happily. The scenery is also very beautiful because it is a beach by the sea, with beach cars to drive and nice shipping containers and trees nearby. It is very beautiful to take photos, so everyone had a very enjoyable day of eating and playing.

A very nice shop with a great location, just a few minutes' walk to Dongsha Beach. The prices are reasonable, and most importantly, the owner is very friendly and enthusiastic. I repeat, the owner is very nice! When my friend arrived late, she actively helped arrange a room. Also, I recommend ordering meals at her place - clean, affordable, cheaper than eating outside, and you can feel assured.

Close to Xuedou Mountain and Jiang's Former Residence, the store is located among various Jiang's family houses. The storefront is not big, but there are many people and parking is available. A very home-cooked restaurant, and we ordered a four-person set meal through group buying.
