There are five conserved Historic Blocks which are kept as they used to be and local citizens still live in a very traditional way. The local residences were originally built at the end of Qing Dynasty and are well-kept and consistent with each other. The typical architectural style of Shaoxing local residences is a mix of black, white and gray. In the Historic Blocks, you can experience the authentic lifestyles of local people. For example, you’ll see local women washing clothes in the canals beside their houses; vendors selling vegetables and fruits on the street; craftsmen making furniture from wood; and the elderly fanning coal stoves to cook. This is not a museum; it’s history that’s alive!
