The hull of the Wupeng boat is very small and made of wood. The awning is made of bamboo with a bamboo pole in the middle. It is semicircular and painted black with bituminous coal and tung oil, hence its name. Wu Peng boat is a unique and dexterous means of water transportation in a water town, which can generally accommodate four to six passengers. Its power depends on the boatman paddling with his feet, and the course of the ship is controlled by paddling. When the boat is driving, the boatman floats lightly on the lake with his feet and hands together. In addition to the Wu Peng boat, there is also a Wu Peng ship in Shaoxing (the number of such ships is very small). The hull of this ship is carved with various patterns and patterns, and the bow is carved with an animal snipe (a bird mentioned in ancient books) shaped like a tiger's head. Storks live in the sea. They like dragons. When the dragon saw it, he avoided it, so the boatman carved its image on the bow so that the dragon could not make trouble and sail safely. Some bows are engraved with "decapitation". According to the examination, this dragon-like god is one of the nine sons of the dragon. Good at braving the wind and waves, can scare the aquarium who make waves. This kind of big-covered boat has a tall hull, the height of which can make people stand upright, and the cabin width can hold tables and chairs for people to play cards, entertain and watch plays. There are two oars at the stern (there are also four or eight oars commonly known as four-pile heads and eight-pile heads), which are very fast and are specially used for a few bureaucrats and rich children to visit, sweep graves, greet relatives and watch plays.

On the blue waves and beautiful scenery, you can often see a boat like a mullet cruising in Ran Ran. The boatman sat at the stern, leaning against a vertical board, holding the paddle under his left arm, splitting the water to stabilize the direction, and pedaling with his feet bent and stretched. At the same time, on the extremely narrow side of the ship, there was a plate of snacks such as fennel beans, a small hip flask in the right hand, drinking rice wine and chewing a bucket of fennel beans, and strolling leisurely in the water. This is the famous Shaoxing hiking boat. Because foot boating is rare in the whole country, and because foot boating is generally with awns, the two are combined into one. In fact, according to Shaoxing Customs, all ships with canopies, such as big ships, small boats, harbor ships, cargo ships, passenger ships, foot ships and hand-cranked ships, are called canopies. Night boats, sandalwood boats and small shuttles flying with white canopies are called white canopies.
