Shaoxing, Prefecture-level city in northeastern Zhejiang, China

Shaoxing extends over 8,273 square kilometers along the southern shore of Hangzhou Bay, containing six administrative districts with a population of 5.2 million residents.

The area functioned as the capital of the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period from 770 BC to 476 BC before its annexation by the state of Chu.

The city maintains the former residence of writer Lu Xun and celebrates the Zhufu ceremony, which honors local figures through traditional sacrificial practices.

Two railway stations connect the city to major destinations like Beijing and Shanghai, while Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport lies 30 kilometers from the center.

The textile manufacturing sector in Shaoxing produces specialized silk products through methods refined across generations of local artisans.
