Although I stayed in Hangzhou for four days, I really enjoyed myself for only two days. These two days passed in a hurry. For Hangzhou, I only experienced a few scenic spots, which did not fully represent the temperament and connotation of Hangzhou. Let me share this trip with you.
The first day of Hangzhou travel: Arrive in Hangzhou in the morning, stay at the All Seasons Hotel (Hangzhou West Lake Store), have lunch at Xinfeng Snack, have a good nap, walk to West Lake at 16:00 in the afternoon, have dinner at Xinbai Road restaurant in the evening, and visit Qinghefang Street to buy souvenirs.
The next day: sleep in, have lunch at (), then go to Xixi National Wetland Park, then visit Zhejiang University in the evening (cancelled, I was too tired to go back to the hotel to sleep after visiting Xixi), fry shrimps in the evening, and finally visit Wulin Night Market (not much, go back to the hotel to watch TV after visiting).
Day 3: Take the high-speed train to Wuzhen, stay at Wuzhen Lanshe Design Hotel, take a nap at noon to avoid the scorching sun, and go to Tashi at 16:30 in the afternoon.
Day 4: From Wuzhen to Ningbo, visit Tianyige Museum and go home at night (don't ask why you went back from Ningbo, because the air ticket is cheap).
I am ashamed of the detailed strategy of the two-day tour in Hangzhou. This is also the first time that Cece and I flew alone without our family. Perhaps the most important strategy we have made is not how to play in Hangzhou, but how to board the plane. Finally, Xixi's sister can't worry about us. She took us to the airport at five o'clock in the morning, helped us complete all the boarding procedures and boarded the plane easily.
Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport is not connected to the subway at present, so you must take the airport bus to the city, buy tickets with your ID card, and choose the terminal you want to reach. If you don't know the terminal, it is recommended to navigate the bus route first, which route will be explained, or you can go to the manual ticket booth.
Our hotel is next to the West Lake. Friends who want to go to the West Lake can refer to our two routes. The first route is the airport bus, but it takes more. No.2 bus needs to get off and change to the subway, so walk less.
Route 1: Xiaoshan Airport T3- Xiaoshan International Airport Station, Wulinmen Civil Aviation Ticket Office-Take Wulinmen Airport Bus-All Seasons Hotel West Lake Store (1.2km walk to 20 yuan 1 hour 13 minutes).
Route 2: Xiaoshan Airport T3- Xiaoshan International Airport Station-Airport Bus Riverside Line, direction of entrepreneurial talent base-Jiangling Road Station-Jiangling Road Station A- Fengqi Road Station c 1- All Seasons Hotel (528m24 yuan on foot).
Hangzhou Metro:
As the base camp of Alipay, Hangzhou will use Alipay frequently. You can also scan Alipay directly by subway, and of course you can buy tickets.
Seasons Hotel (Xihu Branch)
The hotel is located in Wulin Road in the center of the city, and the surrounding area is still very prosperous. It takes only 5 minutes to walk to the West Lake, and it takes about 20 minutes for the hotel to take the subway to hangzhou east railway station. However, what makes me most happy is that as soon as I stepped into the hotel lobby, a faint scent of Longjing tea surrounded us, fresh and overflowing, and the fatigue of the journey was instantly blown away, leaving only the yearning for the West Lake.
Xinfeng snacks
This is the first choice for breakfast in Hangzhou, and it is also the first choice for our first meal in Hangzhou. Cheap price and good quality. Xinfeng special flavor buns and shrimp wonton are especially popular with customers. Mainly hangzhou dishes dim sum, steamed stuffed bun with special flavor, shrimp dumplings, throat steamed bread, shrimp wonton and beef vermicelli are all popular choices.
There are many people in the shop, and they order food quickly. It is recommended to look at it first and then look at it. 5 seconds is particularly long in the process of ordering food. After ordering, take the meal at the left window with the receipt.
7 yuan's shrimp wonton, every wonton is full, every bite is the tight teeth of fresh shrimp, and the soup is full of flavor, not a drop left.
1Shrimp cages in 0 yuan can be more delicious with vinegar sauce. Yes, if you see the teapot on the table, please don't be confused. The teapot is full of vinegar.
4 yuan's beef vermicelli is simply super-valued, and its taste is very full and rich. Although it's just a little minced meat, the whole bowl of vermicelli is meat, and the vermicelli is very smooth and tender, which tests your chopstick skills. Although it is a bit unsightly, I suggest you pick it up and eat it.
2 1 yuan fed us and sweated like rain. I suggest choosing a place near the air conditioner in the middle if possible. The window seat is really hot.
Almost every roadside store or stop in Hangzhou will sell Hangzhou old yogurt. In fact, we also know that it is not a specialty. Almost every city has some old yogurt named after the city, but I am curious to try it. A cup of 15 yuan is no different from ordinary yogurt.
Hangzhou West Lake
Speaking of the route to visit the West Lake 10 years ago, I completely forget it. I don't know so much as I remember. I used to travel with my parents, and I don't know where I went. I only remember that the West Lake was particularly beautiful and clear at that time. In retrospect, it should be because the West Lake in 2009 was just dredged for a long time.
The famous "Ten Scenes of West Lake" was famous in the Southern Song Dynasty for its spring dawn in Su Causeway, broken bridge and residual snow, Qu Yuan's wind lotus, Huagang's fish watching, Liulang's singing, the sunset glow of Leifeng, the moon in Santan, the autumn moon in Pinghu, Shuangfeng Cloud and Nanping's midnight.
To tell the truth, there are not many people who go to punch in, and they basically follow the lines marked by orange lines on the map around the lake. Since you come to the West Lake, you should feel the amorous feelings. There are few people punching in at the scenic spots. It is also a pleasure to go anywhere.
It takes about 3-5 hours to visit the West Lake. The scenic spots worth punching in are Broken Bridge, Su Causeway and Three Beaches Reflecting the Moon, which are the patterns on the back of RMB 1 yuan.
If you want to shoot the best results, you can take a cruise to see Xiaoying Island. Adult fare 55 yuan. The opening hours are 7: 30- 16: 30 in spring and summer and 8: 00- 16: 00 in autumn and winter. Lazy sleeping till four o'clock is not available. But you can also take a battery car around the lake for 5 yuan each.
However, I still want to vomit. Why not postpone it a little? It is estimated that taking a boat in the hot sun will kill you.
The broken bridge keeps breaking. This is where Xu Xian met the white snake. This is also the place where countless couples are fascinated. They walked hand in hand from the broken bridge to Bai Causeway and from Bai Causeway to Su Causeway.
However, in the peak season of August, the broken bridge seems not suitable for couples to walk and meet young girls on the bridge; If the broken bridge will break, it is estimated that it was also broken by the crowd.
If you ask me what I like best about the West Lake, I may not be able to tell you what it is, but I like this feeling very much. Walking aimlessly by the West Lake with the people I care about, you may yearn for the West Lake, the willows on the shore, or a path you have walked.
Travel without a purpose is real travel. You don't have to bear a heavy burden to punch in here. You must gain something. This is a trip to enjoy a comfortable and happy time.
If romance has color, it must be the green of Hangzhou West Lake. There is also Zhejiang Museum near the West Lake, which is said to be the largest humanities museum in Zhejiang Province, with a collection of more than100000 pieces, and Fuchun Shan Jutu is here. Opening hours are 9:00- 17:00, free of charge.
If you are free, Zhongshan Park next to the West Lake is also a good place, and it is also free.
As one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda is also the main attraction of the West Lake. According to legend, the white snake was put under the Leifeng Tower in Fahai Town to save Xu Xianshui from flooding Jinshan. After defeating Fahai, the Leifeng Tower collapsed.
The Millennium Pagoda, built in 977 AD in the Northern Song Dynasty, did collapse. Although it is not the myth, it is also related to Xu Xian and the White Snake.
At that time, it was said that the brick of Leifeng Tower could drive away diseases and strengthen the body, because it imprisoned the white snake, so it symbolized love. As a result, the brick at the bottom of Leifeng Tower was gradually dug out and finally collapsed on the afternoon of September 25, 1924.
What we are seeing now is the newly-built Leifeng Tower, which is the first colored bronze sculpture tower in China. Ticket 40 Many people say it's worthless, but traveling itself is a matter of different opinions. This pagoda with a history of thousands of years must have its unique value and significance.
The original plan was to take a boat from the broken bridge-Bai Causeway-Pinghu Qiuyue-Quyuan Fenghe-Su-Huagang Wharf (fish watching)-to Santan Yue Ying and clock back one yuan.
However, the cruise ship is over, and I can't go to Zhou Xiaoying to punch in the three pools to reflect the moon. I just finished my trip from Su Causeway (actually, I don't want to leave because I'm tired).
Goodbye, West Lake. It's really short to meet again after ten years, but you still left a unique mark on my heart.
As a landmark attraction in Hangzhou, the West Lake is certainly a must-see attraction in Hangzhou. Every place has the most beautiful scenery and convenient transportation, and many subway and bus lines can be reached. There are many restaurants and bars by the lake, which is convenient for eating. There are two kinds of transportation in scenic spots: battery cars and cruise ships. Those who don't want to go or are in a hurry can choose to go. In addition, the historical and cultural landscape is also quite rich, and it is a scenic spot in Xian Yi, suitable for all ages. The most fun time is the end of spring from March to April, and it is really hot in summer.

mealtime
Xinbailu restaurant
A brand with a history of 20 years, each branch has a unique decoration style, American pastoral style, post-modern industrial style, European court style and Jiangnan classical style. The West Lake Yintai Store we went to should be a post-modern industrial style bar, decorated like a bar, and the experience of eating hangzhou dishes in this environment is really novel. The store's signature is egg yolk chicken wings and egg yolk ribs.
Very crisp truffle tofu, I feel that this dish is quite distinctive, crisp outside and tender inside, and it is really tender tofu inside. It tastes good, but it's a little weak. Just a little dip.
I didn't expect chicken wings to be a signature dish, but they were really delicious, crisp outside and tender inside.
I'm a little surprised by the West Lake water shield soup. It's very light, almost as thin as boiled with water, but it tastes very special. The taste of food is slippery. It is said that the fire has abated. You can try.
Ice cream baking is actually a slice of ice cream on toast, which is not as delicious as expected.
Sweet and sour pork ribs are famous here, but they don't feel so delicious. They are fried very crisp, and the bones can be eaten directly, but the meat always feels strange.
Yipin kaibei shrimp tastes slightly spicy, and the shrimp meat is tender and delicious.
* * * The total consumption is about 150 yuan, and the price/performance ratio is ok, but personally, this is not authentic hangzhou dishes, but more like an online celebrity restaurant that tends to young people's tastes.
Qinghefang Street
In China, almost every city has such a crowded commercial street with ancient culture as the carrier. Such as Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu, Tianzifang in Shanghai and Shangxiajiu in Guangzhou.
Qinghefang Street has been a prosperous area of Hangzhou since ancient times. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Qinghefang Street was the political and cultural center of Hang Cheng, where merchants gathered. Now it is still one of the most prosperous areas. If you want to buy some calligraphy with Hangzhou characteristics, this is a very good choice.
Transportation: Subway 1 Line is near anding road Station, and exit C is within walking distance 10 minutes.
Compared with the real Hangzhou specialty, the business of online celebrity stores is obviously better, and the atmosphere and product packaging in the stores are really exquisite.
You can refer to our guide to buying calligraphy or eating:
Grandma Sun's onion stew, cakes (calligraphy, southern song dynasty Hu Ji, Jiang Shunfa), Tong Xiaoman's handmade tea cake shop, Zhiweiguan, Zhuangyuan restaurant (big meal)
Qianwei Douhua, Ding Sheng Cake Shop, Gaozu fried-dumpling (widely praised), Tang Yang Restaurant (the most authentic one for eating sheep), Juying Noodle Restaurant, September Life, preserved mustard tuber and fresh meat moon cakes.
Qinghefang Street is not a modern commercial street built to attract tourists, but it does exist. Walking on the street, a street with historical flavor can vaguely feel the prosperity, warm lights and bustling crowds of the Song Dynasty. If you are not careful, you may get separated, or you may be rubbed by passers-by who eat mutton kebabs next door.
Drama is a traditional folk art in China. The performer pulled the rope out of the box to scroll the picture. The audience observes the changes of the picture through the lens, and usually the built-in picture is a complete story. Performers also sing songs to explain the contents of the pictures.
We should not only protect historical blocks, but also protect this traditional craft and culture. Only watching the master sip hard can attract the attention of several children, in sharp contrast to the bustling commercial shops on both sides.
With the progress of the times, there are more and more forms of entertainment, so some ancient cultures are quietly dim, and it is difficult to maintain whether they withdraw from the historical stage or sleep in the wind. Strolling through the streets and lanes, the only thing that can stop me may be this humble corner.
Maybe in 10, when I come here again, I will take my children with me. Will the film master still be there? No, I hope he's not here.
I hope to see more young people who can inherit arts and crafts appear in Qinghefang Street.
I bought a cup of dark plum juice and a cup of 20 yuan. The chilled dark plum juice is sweet and sour, which makes people salivate at first sight, and the carefree and wanton taste is on their lips. Drink it in one gulp, and people can't help but "ha". At this time, the temperature of 30 is not too bad, so it is difficult to squeeze out a place to take pictures in the crowd. It seems like an understatement, but in fact it is sissy that is hot and crazy.
Qinghefang Street:
As a street that originated in the Song Dynasty, it retains a lot of cultural flavor, and at the same time, it is a commercial street that has to be visited, with all kinds of special products, which is well worth visiting.
Qinghefang Street Rating (out of 3 ★):

Night view of Hangzhou
These two slackers almost didn't get up until noon the next day. They checked the recommended restaurants nearby and decided what to eat 10 minutes before going out.
Jiu Li Jia Lao Di Zi hangzhou dishes
It is said that everyone from Huangshan Mountain came to Hangzhou to study hangzhou dishes and set up a unique restaurant. After years of research, every dish is brewed with ingenuity.
10 years ago, I ate the West Lake vinegar fish that made me linger for many years. I wonder if I can taste the feeling of that year in this store.
I bought a set meal of 108 in this store. It doesn't look like much, but it's all full.
West Lake vinegar fish is a specialty. Half of the fish is made into vinegar juice, which is sour and delicious, and the other half is steamed to give the fish the freshest taste.
Unfortunately, this is not what I ate 10 years ago. At that time, half sweet and sour pine nut fish was used, but the West Lake vinegar fish in Jiujiali was impressive enough. (except for a little sting)
Beggar chicken is definitely the best dish for both of us. The whole chicken is steamed with lotus leaves, with a faint fragrance. The chicken is very tender and boneless, and every bite is delicious. After eating, even the bones should be sucked.
West Lake beef soup is really heavy, with a strong taste and a little sour taste, which can stimulate appetite and relieve the greasy feeling of beef, but no matter how delicious it is, two people can't finish it.
In addition, there are Dongpo pork, steamed buns and hot and sour potato shreds in the set meal. I won't elaborate on these dishes.
Xixi national wetland park
Xixi National Wetland Park is the first wetland park integrating urban wetland, agricultural wetland and cultural wetland. It is also called "Three Wests" with West Lake and Xiling, and has been merged into "Top Ten Charming Wetlands" in China.
Transportation: There is no subway at present, so it is very troublesome to change from subway to bus. It's convenient to suggest.
① The opening time is 8: 00 ~ 17: 30. Cruise ships are mainly in the east, the core scenic spot is in the western blessed land, and the western green embankment needs additional tickets. I think it's 60 yuan.
② The connecting ticket includes the boat ticket 120 yuan, so it is recommended to take a boat; Except for tickets to 70 yuan (online shopping), the only thing you can basically see is the free open area on the map, and some parks in the scenic area still need to be charged separately. It takes 4-6 hours to walk.
There are five docks, Shentankou, Jiaolu Grange, Zhou Jiacun, Baijia _ and Yanshui Fishing Village. Each dock can get on and off once with a boat ticket.
Zhoujiacun is the main dock, and other docks can also be accessed, and you can finally go back to any dock ~ Remember that the upper and lower docks are separate, just follow the signs.
Shentankou Wharf-Jiaolong Tianzhuang Wharf takes 20 minutes, and the scenery on the left is better.
Jiaolu Tianzhuang Wharf-Zhou Jiacun Wharf 10 minute
Zhou Jiacun Wharf-Yanshui Fishery Wharf 10 minute.
Yanshui Fishery Wharf-Shentankou Wharf 10 minute
Best route:
North Gate (walk or battery car 10 yuan)-He Zhu Street-entrance to Shentankou to buy tickets to enter the park-take a battery boat-Luliang Tianzhuang-Zhou Jiacun-Yanshui Fish Village-Shentankou to leave the park.
Or Xixi Paradise Visitor Center (battery car)-Gaozhuang (walking)-Luling Tianzhuang Wharf-Shunshi Cruise-Xixi Paradise.
At that time, there was always a struggle between Song Cheng and Xixi. Song Cheng has a unique historical and cultural landscape, but compared with commercial scenic spots, we tend to be more natural.
In fact, I originally planned to take a boat, but I finally chose to walk all the way, because it can be closer to nature, feel the vitality of every grass and tree, breathe the freshest air of the "lungs of the earth", stop whenever I want, and leave whenever I want (in fact, to save money).
If you want to be an oar boat, you can also buy it at the ticket office. You can take 2-6 people at an hour 100 yuan.
There are KFC and Starbucks in Xixi Wetland Park, which are rare in tourist attractions. Drinking a cup of cappuccino here and seeing the surrounding wetland environment is also a kind of relaxed and free freshness.
Meow meow on the roof of Starbucks ~
However, when the temperature is over 30 degrees in summer, it is estimated that everyone will sweat profusely, so it is recommended to make a battery boat if possible.
But there will be another kind of scenery that you can't see on foot and by boat. Tall pine trees stand neatly on both sides of Youbai Road in Fudi, which coincides with the continuous drizzle and fills the air with fresh vegetation. Go straight along the straight road and look forward to the next beautiful scenery.
I like He Zhu Street and Jiangcun Market Slow Life Block.
Just like our attitude towards travel, relax, visit specialty shops and some cultural exhibition halls, feel the local customs different from our hometown and see the smiling faces of tourists coming and going. Maybe this is what they like.
Although I couldn't help complaining about the heat, I was surrounded by a wasp halfway, and I was too scared to move. This may be the beauty of wetlands, a kind of "green" romance. Every place is beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful because of you, attracting bees and butterflies.
Speaking of the tour modes of Xixi Wetland, there are not only cruise ships and mountain bikes, but also helium balloon tours, land, sea and air tours. "Range Rover in the Air" sightseeing helium balloon is located in the slow life block. It is the only manned sightseeing helium balloon independently developed and manufactured in China and the only high-altitude helium balloon experience project in Hangzhou.
It can take 25 people to take off at a time, which takes about 3 minutes, and can be vertically lifted to 150 meters, which is more stable than the elevator. In addition to a main steel cable hanging, as a "secondary safety", the helium balloon body is also pulled by three safety ropes.
Unlike hot air balloons, which use gas to propel their ascent, helium balloons do not need to be ignited, but only rely on the principle that helium is less dense than air. In fact, they are like pulling a giant balloon.
There is a circular walkway on the helium balloon, which can have a bird's eye view of Xixi.
But maybe it rained that day or it was not fully open, so it's a pity.
Xixi Wetland Park:
As one of the "Top Ten Charming Wetlands" in China, the beauty of Xixi Wetland comes from the protection of the original ecology, with abundant animal and plant resources; But because it is the original ecology, the landscape will not be so "amazing", which requires us to have a pair of eyes to discover beauty. However, in addition to tickets, many scenic spots in the scenic spot have to buy extra tickets, which is not very friendly. The best time to visit is when the flowers are in full bloom from February to May, and all the flowers wither in July and August, which is very hot.
Xixi Wetland Score (out of 3 ★):

Beauty: ★★★

return journey
I was going to visit Zhejiang University by the way, but I was really tired after visiting Xixi Wetland, so I slipped back to the hotel and lay down.
Lao tou Zha Xia
It can be said that it is the most satisfying meal in Hangzhou. It was open until nine o'clock in the evening, and we didn't leave until half past eight. Finished, almost the last table of guests.
The signature fried shrimp can be said to be the best fried shrimp I have ever eaten. I thought it was a spicy mouth, but it was actually a sweet and sour mouth. No matter how much you eat, you won't get tired, and there are many ingredients. The two of them ate so well that they didn't even want to throw up the shrimp shells.
Never suck shrimp heads! Never suck shrimp heads! Never suck shrimp heads! Otherwise, the delicious shrimp sauce that died on the spot is soaked in sweet and sour sauce, which will make you dizzy instantly and make you want to eat more.
Dry fried hairtail is the true story of the old man. Hairtail fried just right. One more point will burn. Less is soft, crisp and delicious. This will be unforgettable for two different dips.
There are more than three kinds of delicious food in the soup. A large pot of soup contains shrimp, cabbage, meatballs, pork belly, fried pork skin, fungus and other ingredients. The soup is tender and delicious, not a drop is left.
Mango is the perfect dessert, smooth smoothies and mangoes are the perfect match, and every fragrant taro is full. Every spoonful feels cool and refreshing when eaten in the mouth, and delicious when licked on the plate.
After dinner, I passed the Wulin night market, and there were quite a few specialties, all kinds of snacks. However, this can't interest two satisfied people. I didn't take any photos, so I went back to the hotel to watch TV after a walk.
Overview of Hangzhou tourism
This two-day and two-night trip to Hangzhou can be said to be a perfect ending. The essence of leisure has been to this green city, and there are many places worth remembering. Hangzhou is a model of the perfect combination of modernization and history. You can see the roar of super-running all over the street here, and there are also well-preserved Millennium monuments here.
This is a model city of civilization. As a foreigner, I can't imagine that drivers treat pedestrians with such high courtesy. Before you cross the road, almost all the cars on both sides give way to you in the form of an emergency stop. Even if you want to let the cars pass first, they will stop there and wait for you. If it was Guangzhou, I might have been greeted by the driver.
To tell the truth, this trip to Hangzhou after ten years did not fill the memory gap in the past. Maybe this is the cruelty of time. We are always forgetting, always leaving and always starting a new journey. We can't choose to remember everything, but we will definitely remember the happiest memories of today's trip.
