04th Feb 2009: Shaoxing/Keyan 绍兴/柯岩鲁镇




It was a 45 minutes from the main city. Along the journey was hectres of polluted industrial estates. The surrounding turns slightly cleaner when we reach to the zone of Keyan. 3 places to visit here: The keyan rock, town of Luxun and the lake. The keyan rock was carved out by ancient army and the rocks were primarily use for making weapons. The town of Luxun was build base on his novels. As for the lake, they were originally use for brewing the Shaoxing wine.
This place is really quiet, crowd free but entrance is rather expensive. My guess is that summer would be a better season to visit this place.
