Introduction of scenic spots
Xixi National Wetland Park is located in the west of the city, where the environment is quiet and the waterways crisscross. It is a rare natural wetland in the city and is known as the "kidney of Hangzhou". Roaming through the reeds by boat, looking for the location of If You Are the One, or visiting the historical sites such as Qiuxue Temple and Meizhu Villa hidden in the forest are all very enjoyable experiences.
General situation of Xixi
Xixi Wetland is divided into East Zone and West Zone. The East Zone includes Phase I and Phase II, and the West Zone is Phase III Hongyuan Scenic Area. It is the essence of the natural scenery of Xixi Wetland in the East District. Sailing in complex waterways is the best way to feel the natural ecology. You can choose a battery boat (big boat, the boat journey is about 1 hour) or a paddle boat (charged by the hour, with a capacity of 6 people). If you have enough time, it is recommended to take a paddle boat and enjoy this hermit-like life slowly. Rowing is on the inland river, and the route and boarding dock are different from those of big ships. You can swing into the quieter reeds, and sometimes you can listen to the boatman humming a ditty to tell you a story or chat with you.
Zhou Jiacun-Yanshui Fishing Village-Shentankou
Enter from the main entrance of Zhoujiacun, that is, the big ship wharf, and the big ship is a circular line. Four docks along the route (Zhou Jiacun-Yanshui Fishing Village-Shentankou-Jiaolong Farm-Zhou Jiacun) can go ashore for sightseeing and board the ship again. Shuiyu Village mainly displays local folk customs such as weddings, funerals, farming, fishing and hunting in Xixi. Shentankou is a place where dragon boat races are held around the Dragon Boat Festival every year. This is where Shu Qi and Fang Zhongxin rowed from 0755 to 79000. There are still 300 years of camphor trees worth seeing.
South of shentankou
Continue to take a big boat from Tankou to the south and pass Qiuxue Temple. There are large areas of reeds here, which are beautiful when they bloom in autumn. This is a good place to watch birds. "If You Are the One" also took a scenic spot here. If you go ashore at Jiaolu Farm by boat, you can visit the nearby Xixi Shui Ge and Qushui Temple, which are not far from the gate of Gaozhuang. After landing at Shentankou, you can walk along the alley for about 15 minutes to Hezhu Street, where there are bars, cafes, embroidery, small flower baskets and other specialty shops, as well as delicious food such as stinky tofu and Euryale ferox cakes. There are also various restaurants, which are a little more expensive than those in the city.
He Zhu Street and Fudi.
Behind Hezhu Street is a blessed land. There are green trees, large and small ponds and a hydrophilic plank road at both ends of the causeway, which makes you closer to nature. Fudi and Hezhu Street are free open areas, which can be accessed from Gaozhuang Gate or Wen Er West Road Gate. At the southern end of Fudi, there is a unique garden in Qing Dynasty.
Other viewpoints
China Wetland Museum is built at the southeast end of the scenic spot, and you can climb the 40-meter-high sightseeing tower to overlook the whole wetland. There are also high-end hotels such as Xixi Paradise Business Circle, Banyan Tree, Xixi Sheraton, and many restaurants. If you travel to Hangzhou, you can also live in Xixi to escape the noise of the city.
Xixi Festival
In addition to the lively Dragon Boat Festival, there are many festivals in Xixi in different seasons: there are plum exploration festivals in February and March, mainly in Shu Mei, Meizhu Mountain Villa and Xixi Caotang; There is a flower festival from April to May, where you can explore spring, enjoy flowers and watch folk performances. September -65438+ 10 is the fire persimmon festival; 1-65438+February is the reed festival, and you can enjoy the reed flowers by boat in Qiuxue Temple and other waters.
: special tips
1. Full-price tickets for the East and West Districts can be used on the same day, but the boat tickets need to be bought separately. However, Xixi has a large area, so I'm afraid I can only visit the East and West in one day. 2. All the scenic spots in the cruise area can be reached.
