If time is limited perhaps the best way to see the city is by blue
tricycle taxi. There are plenty by the railway station and they
comfortably seat two.

Many would class the ride as white knuckle but most will admire the way veteran drivers skillfully maneuver their vehicles through the city traffic.

If you have a little more time a boat is better giving a view of the older buildings which contrast the new development in both Shaoxing and the region as a whole.

Dong Hu is a water park created from old quarry workings.

It offers an escape from the crowds of the Yangtze Delta Region and a chance to relax and enjoy a short boat trip on this man-made lake.

Take the train to Shaoxing. Come out of the station and turn right to the bus terminus. Get on bus number 1 and tell the driver or conductor you are going to Dong Hu.

Dong Hu is in the main guidebooks and you can point to the Chinese characters in the book if the driver or conductor does not understand you.


The staff will tell you when to get off the bus which takes around 20 minutes depending on the traffic but it is just as you feel you are going out of the city.

Just in case, look for a big brown sign for Dong Hu in English pointing to the right as you head out of the city.
