Rowing Around Shaoxing
Shaoxing is just south of the Yangtze River, where the scenery is picturesque
throughout the year. The best time to visit Shaoxing is in spring, summer
and autumn. Every year around early-April, the China Lanting Calligraphy
Festival (中国兰亭书法节) is held in Shaoxing. Calligraphers from all over the
world gather in Orchid Pavilion, hold calligraphy symposiums, and write
calligraphy. Shaoxing also holds an annual China Shaoxing Wupeng Boat
Travel Festival (中国绍兴乌篷船旅游节).
