It offers beautiful scenery, but the lake itself is so small that taking boat ride is almost not worth it. Nothing really to see except if you go up the mountain... with the pathway not that well maintained .

A must-see attraction in Shaoxing in my opinion. This place is packed with history of Chinese caligraphy, which is the centerpiece of traditional Chinese culture. It is composed of two main parts - the outdoor tour with all the Chinese pavillions and gardens and the museum. I would recommend at least 2 to 3 hours if not half a day for a good look around.
