25@100% Vintage Shaoxing Experiences:

We think that the best way to understand a city is not just to go sightseeing there. In fact, joining the throngs of visitors to the most popular attractions can be a hassle rather than a highlight.

So, 30 different Vintage Shaoxing activities were identified and tested with a group of 25 foreigners. These were the 25 @ 100% Vintage Shaoxing. The event took place during April 2009 and marked the start of Shaoxing's comemoration of its 2500th birthday (in 2010), and its enthusiasm for 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
