Recently, an advertisement in the social media feeds caught the attention of netizens in the Yangtze River Delta region. They not only praised Zhuji Tourism’s active efforts in embracing “Internet+,” but were also amazed by the beauty of Zhuji. Zhuji can be reached by high-speed train from Hangzhou in just 22 minutes. This is the place known as the “Hometown of Xishi.” Su Dongpo once wrote the line “If I compare the West Lake to Lady Xizi, she is lovely in both plain and gay attire,” which has left every lover of beauty with a deep fascination for Xishi and the place where she grew up.
What kind of place was it that once bestowed legendary beauty upon a peerless beauty and gave rise to a tale full of twists and turns?
Recently, I came across a post about Xishi’s Hometown shared by Zhuji Tourism on social media. It reminded me of a previous trip to Zhuji...
