　　 The east Zhejiang city of Shaoxing, 60 km from Hangzhou, is a famous historical and cultural city and a well-known water-bound town 2,400 years in age. Its urban districts are crisscrossed by watercourses and studded with lakes, its narrow alleyways are flagged, and boats with black awnings are seen plying the waters that run in the midst of dwelling houses in such peace and quiet that belong only in nature. Among the famous scenic spots are East Lake, Jianhu Lake, Keyan Rock, and Dafo Temple. Shaoxing has produced a rich crop of famous people, including the great writer Lu Xun and the later Premier Zhou Enlai, whose former residences are still there, the legendary King Yu, whose remains are said to have been buried in a local mausoleum, the great Jin-dynasty calligrapher Wang Xizhi, who composed the celebrated "Preface to the Collection of Poetry of the Orchid Pavilion (in Shaoxing), and King of Yue, whose palaces have long crumbled.
