Famous for Shaoxing Yellow Wine – Traditional Chinese Cooking Wine
Lying to the south of the Yangtze Delta and in the north of the centrally located Zhejiang Province, Shaoxing, like a pearl with simple but elegant light, stands between Hangzhou and Ningbo. Shaoxing is famous for producing a kind of low alcohol brewing rice wine with full-bodied fragrance and rich in 21 kinds of amino acids. It is always used for cooking in the Chinese kitchen. However, as one of the three ancient wines in the world, Shaoxing Yellow Wine can be drunk as well. On a trip to Shaoxing, the Yellow Wine can be found even in corner stores.
Besides the wine, many famous people's former residences, historical attractions, Anchang Ancient Town with old streets and bridges add more charm to this city. Shaoxing is also home to Lu Xun (1881 - 1936), a leading writer of modern Chinese literature. His former residence offers a glimpse of his life.
