Article TitleThe charm of Shaoxing : a sleepy provincial town little changed by time / Philip Reeve.
Is Part OfWindow ; v.4, no.50, 23-30 Dec 1994, p.38-39, illus.
AbstractIt is difficult to imagine that Shaoxing, in Zhejiang province, was once the imperial capital of all China. Shaoxing is unknown to the vast majority of travellers. But this location, along with its unique location on a plain criss-crossed by creeks and lakes, has helped to preserve Shaoxing's charm and antiquity.
