A 1,000-Year-Old Fermentation Vat of Jiangnan Life

#chinatravel

Straddling the Grand Canal’s forgotten tributary, this Ming-Qing era market town (30km from Shaoxing) preserves traditions most places bottle up for tourists. Here, sausages still cure in open air, hand-pulled starch noodles dry like silk threads on bamboo racks, and the last indigo dyers still stamp patterns with persimmon-tannin paste.

📍 Location: Keqiao District, Shaoxing
