At eight o'clock in the morning of August 1 1, the four of us arrived in Nanjing.

Our first destination is Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. It is necessary to go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. The place where we live belongs to Zhongshan Scenic Area, which is close to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Can't get a taxi 10 yuan. When buying tickets at the gate, we brought an inch of photos because our friends told us in advance, so that we can apply for annual tickets (50 yuan), including at least Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Mausoleum, Linggu Temple and Purple Mountain Observatory. If you buy tickets alone, only Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum needs 40 yuan, so it is cost-effective to buy annual tickets. The whole building of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent and impressive, and it is a place worth seeing. Starting from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, we went to Ming Mausoleum and Linggu Temple. These three scenic spots are all in Zhongshan Scenic Area, and you can reach them by sightseeing 1 or sightseeing 3. It was almost 5 o'clock when we came out of Linggu Temple. We took Tour 2 and rushed to Yuhuatai. The two scenic spots are far apart. At 5: 30, the scenic spot was closed, so we took a photo at the gate of the scenic spot and didn't go in. Then we took a taxi to the Confucius Temple, which is a famous place in Nanjing that integrates snacks, leisure and entertainment. Confucius Temple is surrounded by the famous Qinhuai River. Ancient literati and poets often went boating on the Qinhuai River, writing poems while drinking, which was very pleasant. So when you come to Nanjing, you must visit the Confucius Temple. We found an antique shop and ordered some local snacks: "fried snail" is slightly spicy and delicious; "Rain Flower Stone Tangyuan" looks exactly like the rain flower stone in the water sold on the street outside. It is very realistic and tastes good. There is also the "selling" of wild vegetable stuffing, which tastes good. Later, we ordered "duck blood vermicelli soup" at another food stall, and 3 yuan/bowl was not expensive at all. We all ate spicy food except me. They put red peppers in the soup, and they all ate them with relish. They looked so carefree that I envied them. After dinner, it's already six or seven. It's already dark, and the lights around the Confucius Temple are on. The four of us rented a pedal boat and swam the Qinhuai River in the evening (it seems to be 20 yuan/half an hour), ready to experience the Qinhuai River under the shadow of paddle lights. In the process of boating, it rained lightly, and boating in the breeze and drizzle really has a special mood. After rowing the boat, we took a taxi back to our residence, and then went back to take a bath and rest. The trip ended on 1 day.

The next day, our travel plan is to take a ferry to see the Yangtze River, the Second Yangtze River Bridge and the Yangtze River Bridge. This route was recommended by a friend, and it feels good. You can also try this route when you arrive in Nanjing. The travel agency certainly doesn't have it. We got up in the morning, left the room, took a bus to the railway station and checked our luggage. Take the No.8 bus at the railway station (an old minibus, driving privately, but not killing people) to Yanziji, and it takes about half an hour to get to the station. After arriving at the station, it was raining lightly that morning, and the road was muddy, so we found a motorcycle to take us to the gate of Yanziji Park (actually, it takes less than 3 minutes to walk, if the road is good, we can walk). Tickets for Yanziji Park 6 yuan/person, in fact, the park is very small, and the main part is a hill near the Yangtze River. We all think that the ticket of 6 yuan is too high. But the top of Yanziji Park overlooks the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River. We stayed in the park for about half an hour, got out of the park, turned into an alley and walked for about 3 minutes to the ferry ticket office. The ferry we took was from Yanziji on the bank of the Yangtze River to Baguazhou Island on the other side. The ferry is not a tourist route, but a local means of transportation. There are only a few all-day ferries, which are 8: 00, 1 1: 00, 14: 00 and 17: 00 respectively. We caught the boat at 1 1. You can see the second bridge not far from the ship. As the ship gets closer, you can see it more and more clearly. The Second Yangtze River Bridge is a modern bridge, very beautiful. After arriving at Baguazhou on the other side, we didn't go ashore because the crew said there was nothing to play on the island. Besides, as soon as we landed, we could only catch the boat at two o'clock in the afternoon and had our own plans, so we didn't land and took a boat back to Yanziji. Next, our destination is Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. The specific route is: take the No.8 bus back, get off at the central gate, and transfer to the 15 bus to get off at Nanqiaobao. We can go directly to Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge through Nanqiaobao Park, but the ticket advertised is 5 yuan, which makes us very angry. Many scenic spots in Nanjing are small, but the fees are very expensive, but we can understand the fees for scenic spots and historical sites, but parks should be public welfare, and the fees are so high that it is really unacceptable. Outside the park, a motorcycle driver came up to pull us in, saying that there was no need to buy a ticket. The fare was 10 yuan. We weighed it and agreed. The motorcycle took us down a path without buying a ticket. Actually, it's very close. Locals take the bypass. We just don't know. We felt cheated and finally gave the driver 5 yuan for the fare. On the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, you can take the elevator, 2 yuan/person, or walk slowly (about 6 floors). Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is not as modern and beautiful as the Second Bridge, but it reveals its simplicity and grandeur. Chairman Mao's words "The people, only the people, are the driving force to create world history" are engraved on the bridge. The red flag at the top of the bridge, the sculptures on the bridge and some pictures all retain the revolutionary characteristics of the 1950 s. The Yangtze River Bridge was built in 1950s and lasted for half a century. But its construction technology and quality can be said to be first-class today, and we can't help but feel deep respect for this great project. After visiting the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, we took a bus from the bridge back to the railway station, ready to go to Wuxi (there are many trains from Nanjing to Wuxi, which can be bought now), and the trip to Nanjing ended here.

Journey to Wuxi

We arrived in Wuxi by train on the evening of August 12. Wuxi left us a good first impression. Wuxi Railway Station is very clean and beautiful. There are many tall buildings and wide roads near the railway station. We didn't expect Wuxi to be such a modern and clean city. We stayed in Taishan Hotel opposite the railway station, with standard room 120 yuan/day. The conditions are not bad and the price is reasonable. Our plan is to visit the source pearl of Taihu Lake the next morning. Yuantouzhu is the most beautiful place in Taihu Lake. Speaking of the word "cloud", we so-called "advanced intellectuals" don't know how to pronounce it, thinking that the pronunciation of "turtle" should actually be pronounced "yuan".

The next morning, it rained heavily in the sky. We rushed to the bus station with an umbrella to catch the sightseeing line, but when we arrived at the station, we were told that the sightseeing line could not reach the round-headed bamboo due to road construction. At this time, a bus stopped at the 1 station, and a man in his fifties solicited guests at the door. "1, 1, drove directly to the dock." We asked the price and asked for a 5 yuan. Although we think the price is very expensive, it takes 40 minutes to walk from the park gate to the cruise terminal after posting it by netizens. If 6 yuan/people take the bus in the park. So it is reasonable to drive to the dock for 5 yuan. Plus, it was raining outside, so we got on the bus without thinking much. I didn't know I was on a thief's boat. Approaching the gate of the park, the old man who solicited business stood up again and said, "There are two kinds of scenic spots tickets, one is 50 yuan, and the other is 65 yuan. 65 yuan's includes the boat ticket, 50 yuan's does not, and you have to buy it separately. One-way ticket to 20 yuan. If you buy from 65 yuan, give me the money and I'll buy it for you, so that you can get to the dock smoothly and come back by car in the park. If you buy from 50 yuan, the conductor at the advertising gate will not let you take our car. " After all, what he means is that everyone must buy 65 yuan's and give him money. If you don't buy it for him, you have to get off. The old man's words are very deceptive, and people who don't know the truth are easily fooled. Everyone thought he just wanted to earn some commission, so he bought it, so most of them paid him. In fact, tickets for 50 yuan also include boat tickets. Tickets for 65 yuan include two services: one is to take a speedboat, and the other is to take a scenic bus from the park gate to the pier for free. We were going to buy a ticket for 50 yuan, and we had to fight with the driver to get us to the dock as promised, otherwise we would refund the fare for 5 yuan. But the two men wanted to feel the excitement of taking a speedboat, and they gave money together with the idea of "how to get off easily when you get on a thief boat", so we had to give up. Instead, I secretly photographed the license plate number of the car with a digital camera and prepared to complain to him afterwards. Since we bought the ticket from 65 yuan, of course, we have to go to Taihu Xiandao by speedboat, but the speedboat is closed, just like taking the subway, which is not exciting at all, so the first service in 65 yuan is of little value. It was raining in Mao Mao when I boarded Fairy Island in Taihu Lake. By the lake, there are flocks of swallows flying in the air. The situation is spectacular. I have never seen so many birds flying in the air. Although Fairy Island in Taihu Lake is small, the scenery is very beautiful, and tourists are really like being in a fairyland. So when you arrive in Wuxi, you must go to the Pearl River, the source of Taihu Lake. We stayed in Xiandao, Taihu Lake until about 2 pm, and then returned to the dock by boat. We thought that with 65 yuan's ticket, we could take the park bus from the pier to the park gate for free. When we take out the tickets, but they are not recognized, who wants to take them? The people in the park said that your ticket came in by private car and you can't take our public car, but everyone has to take 6 yuan. We argued with them. Later, we learned that the tickets for 65 yuan in our hands are different from those for 65 yuan sold in the park, so we can't use the tickets for 65 yuan to ride in the park for free. Only then did we realize that we were cheated by that private bus again. We spent more money, but we didn't enjoy the service we deserved. We were very angry and walked back to the dock, cursing private minibuses and cheating old men all the way. But when I think about it, the park itself is also responsible for this. Why are there two different tickets for 65 yuan? In fact, people inside the park colluded with private CMB to deceive tourists. This is very immoral. When we first arrived in Wuxi, we had a good impression of Wuxi, but this deception swept away all our good impressions of Wuxi.

We hope that the tourism management department of Wuxi will rectify these phenomena that seriously damage Wuxi's tourism image. At the same time, remind visitors to Wuxi not to trust private CMB. Take a bus to the tourist attractions, ask about the situation at the ticket office and buy tickets. Don't ask private CMB to buy you a ticket. If you are not afraid of the long-distance (about 40 minutes) walk from the gate of the scenic spot to the pier and then to Yuanyuanzhu, just buy a ticket for 50 yuan.

After returning from Yuantouzhu, we took a bus to eat the wonton and steamed buns of the famous local king in Wuxi. Steamed buns are so messy. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I took a bus to Suzhou (Wuxi is very close to Suzhou, and the driving time is about 1 hour), and the trip in Wuxi ended.

Suzhou tour

Arrive in Suzhou at 5 pm on August 13. We stayed at the railway hotel near the railway station. Standard room 200 yuan/day with discount. We rowed to 80 yuan/Day. We chose to live near the railway station, because it is not far from the Humble Administrator's Garden and Tiger Hill that we are going to visit the next day, and because we are going to Hangzhou by train the next afternoon, it is more convenient to live here. Suzhou gave us the first impression that it was relatively simple and the house was not too high, which was completely different from Wuxi's modern sense. Putting down our luggage, we took a taxi to Shi Xue Street, a famous snack street in Suzhou. As soon as we got off the bus, we saw the goal of this trip, "What? The big signboard of "Strange Lobster House" stands on the street corner. " Hey? "These two words, which we thought were pronounced Yutai, should actually be Yu Xu, a place name. This trip made us know a lot of difficult Chinese characters. " What? The lobster in the strange lobster shop is very famous. When we arrived, the head office was full, so we had to go to the branch office, which was full without much effort, which shows that its business is really good. We ordered a copy of Thirteen Incense, 40 yuan/copy. There are about 25 lobsters in the small pot, and we ordered other dishes. One is just right for four people. The lobster here really lives up to its reputation. It feels spicy on the lips, but it's not spicy. I seldom eat spicy food, but I really like it this time. It is highly recommended that friends who go to Suzhou must try the crayfish here! After dinner, we went shopping, then took a taxi back to rest and prepared to visit Suzhou gardens the next day.

The next day, it was raining lightly. Most of our trip to the south of the Yangtze River was rainy, and it was really a veritable "trip to the south of the Yangtze River in the rain". As it was close to the Humble Administrator's Garden, we gave up the bus and strolled there under an umbrella. The houses in Suzhou are all antique, and even the station is an antique model. Humble Administrator's Garden is in an alley. Tickets to 45 yuan. Humble Administrator's Garden is a private garden, but the whole garden is exquisite. When we bypassed the rockery, we suddenly felt that there were lotus flowers in the pond, white and pink oleanders in full bloom on the shore, and the pavilions around us were like a Little Paradise. Seeing this, we can't help but envy the owner of this garden. It is a great luck to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's sexuality here. Humble Administrator's Garden is a treasure of garden art in China, which is worth seeing. It is best to join a group and listen to a tour guide. Starting from Humble Administrator's Garden, we took Tour 2 to Tiger Hill. Tiger Hill ticket 30 yuan, it's too expensive. Tiger Hill is the burial place of Fuzhuan tea in Wu Wang. I thought I would see a big grave, but I didn't see anything. What's more interesting is that Tiger Hill has a very long history, but the tower is tilted but not toppled. It is a veritable "leaning tower". After coming out of Huqiu, we had a quick meal in a small shop, then rushed to the railway station and took the afternoon train to Hangzhou, thus ending our trip to Suzhou. I suggest that if you have time, you can find an old street to stroll around and experience the quaint taste of Suzhou. Suzhou people also left a good impression on us. The hotel front desk and taxi drivers are civilized and patient, better than Wuxi, and worthy of being citizens of tourist cities.

Hangzhou tour

As the saying goes, "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". After visiting Suzhou, our destination naturally points to Hangzhou. We arrived in Hangzhou at 8 pm on August 15. It took a lot of effort to find a place to live in Hangzhou. Speaking of which, we all went online in advance these days (/hotels/default.aspx? Campaign_id=405 1378), so I basically didn't consider the accommodation problem, but I forgot to make a reservation in Hangzhou that day. The day we arrived was Thursday, not the weekend. Most of the hotels we could ask were full and there were no economical and practical rooms. It took us 1 more hours to settle down, which was the most difficult time for us to find accommodation on this trip. We stayed at Dongpo Hotel near Yan 'an Road, and the standard room was 260 yuan/day, which was relatively expensive in several cities we have been to. It is suggested that friends who travel to Hangzhou arrange accommodation in advance or book online, which may be more economical.

The next day, our main attraction was naturally the West Lake. Originally, we lived near the West Lake, and we could see it within a few minutes' walk. However, due to the current construction of the northern line, we took K4 and got off at Leifeng Tower at the first stop. We took photos with Leifeng Tower as the background. We didn't climb the tower. There is no charge for climbing the tower. It took us about 10 minutes to get to Su Causeway. Su Causeway is also called Lover's Dike, and weeping willows are planted on both sides of the Dike, which is graceful. Look around, you can see Xizi Lake, only Bibo and cruise ships. Walking on the levee, I only feel the breeze blowing gently and I can't say how comfortable it is. It's really a good place for couples to fall in love. You can take a bus or rent a private boat to visit the West Lake. The bus is a big ship, 35 yuan/person, and the private boat is a small boat, which can only take four people (not counting boatmen). A boat is about 160 yuan/1 hour. We finally rented a boat, because boating on the West Lake was still a leisurely mood. Private boats in the West Lake are all managed, priced and served in a unified way, so there is no need to worry about cheating passengers. Each boat is equipped with a boatman, who paddles with a single paddle and also serves as a scenic spot commentator. Our boatman is a simple and cheerful person. He talked and joked with us while explaining to us. We soon fell in love with the boatman. The service attitude of the boatman is very good. When he arrived at the famous "Santan Yin Yue", he patiently transferred the boat to a suitable position for us to take photos. On the way back from rowing, the boatman pulled the boat to a shore and told us that there was a pearl shop on the shore. All pearls in the market are wholesale from here, so they are cheaper. As pearls belong to the three treasures of Hangzhou (three treasures of Hangzhou: silk, tea and freshwater pearls), we went ashore to have a look. Pearl ornaments in this pearl shop are generally 50% off. The boatman said he could still get a 20% or 30% discount, but in the end, it could be cheaper. A pearl bracelet, the original price is 760, and I bought it at last 100, which is very valuable. After boating, we feel hungry. It's time for lunch. The "Louwailou" on the shore of the West Lake is very famous, but the boatman told us that it is expensive and the service is not good enough. He suggested that we go to Xinkaiyuan Hotel, where we can eat all the specialties of Hangzhou. The taste is not bad at all, but the price is much cheaper. Xinkaiyuan is not far from the West Lake, so take a taxi 10 yuan. Xinkaiyuan Hotel is really good, with luxurious decoration. The dining room on the second floor has a lot of space, which can accommodate dozens of tables. We ordered the local famous Dongpo Meat and Longjing Shrimp, and felt that Dongpo Meat was good. "Longjing shrimp" is to sprinkle a few pieces of Longjing tea on the fried shrimp, which tastes ordinary; There is also "cold bamboo shoots", which tastes very good. The four of us spent nearly 100, which is really not expensive.

After dinner, we took a taxi to the East Bus Station and prepared to go to Wuzhen. The trip to Hangzhou is over. Just 1 day, Hangzhou gave it.

We left a very good impression. Moreover, from the ordinary Hangzhou citizens we contacted, we found that the tone of Hangzhou people talking about Hangzhou is full of pride and pride as Hangzhou people, which makes people admire and envy!

Journey to Wuzhen

We went to Wuzhen mainly to see the typical water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, we wanted to choose one of Wuzhen and Xitang to see it. Later, we chose Wuzhen. Mainly because the name Wuzhen sounds quaint. Because one of our colleagues had a fever, we didn't take a taxi to Hangzhou East Bus Station until 5 pm on August 16 to buy a ticket to Wuzhen at 5: 30. But I didn't expect all the tickets to Wuzhen were sold out that day, so I had to buy one from Tongxiang and take a taxi from Tongxiang (to 30 yuan) to Wuzhen. Remind everyone that there are many people going to Wuzhen on weekends. It is best to buy tickets in advance and arrange accommodation. We had dinner in a restaurant in Wuzhen. We ordered local specialties: duck with sauce (20 yuan), steamed fish (38 yuan), menstruation cake (10 yuan) and so on. The price of vegetables is expensive, but the taste is average. Aunt's cake is too sweet. We also ordered fried snails, but the taste was not as good as what we ate in Nanjing. It is estimated that people in small towns can't cook. After dinner, we went for a walk in the scenic spot. The scenic spot completely retains the pattern of the ancient water town: there is a wide river in the middle, houses on both sides are built by the river, and there will be a small stone bridge connecting the two sides in the distance. The movie "Time flies" was shot in Wuzhen, and many people came to Wuzhen because of this. It is said that this film is very good and makes Wuzhen beautiful. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it. I must come and see it sometime. There is an inn in the scenic spot where the hero and heroine lived when shooting Time Is Like Water. From the outside, it is more elegantly decorated than other houses. We asked the price, and the standard room was actually 580/ night. When we ask, there is only one husband and wife room, 880/ night. We secretly spat out our tongues and marveled at the great commercial value that movies brought to Wuzhen. The blue calico in Wuzhen is very famous. By the time we went, it was past 9 pm. Most shops are closed, and a few are still open. We walked into a small shop selling blue calico and saw that the room was covered with all kinds of blue calico handkerchiefs, clothes, skirts, fans, tablecloths, bags and hats. They have different colors and styles. They are really beautiful. Several of us couldn't help buying some flowers as souvenirs. This kind of blue calico is especially suitable for the quaint atmosphere of Wuzhen, but when you take it to the city, you will always feel a little incongruous. Wuzhen at night is like a silent giant. Walking on the bluestone road by the river, I only feel quiet all around, and a few lanterns overhead give off bright or dark light. Your heart is quiet, just like the river flowing quietly next to it. You can't feel that feeling in the city, and you can't tell how beautiful it is. We walked in the scenic spot for about half an hour, and felt that the night was getting cold, so we went back to sleep and prepared to go to the scenic spot again the next morning.

The next day, we got up early after 6 o'clock, because the scenic spot will collect tickets after 7 o'clock. 65 yuan, we think it's too expensive. Wuzhen is also very quiet in the morning, but there are already women and old people who get up early to wash clothes by the river. Half an hour later, the sun began to rise, people on the road began to increase, and the originally quiet town began to become noisy. At this time, I feel that Wuzhen is no different from ordinary tourist attractions. I can't find the quiet feeling of last night. Therefore, it is suggested that friends who go to Wuzhen stay in Wuzhen for one night and feel Wuzhen at night. We came out of the scenic spot at 7 o'clock, and then took a tricycle to see Wuzhen Old Street. (To explain the whole story, 1 hour, one car in 20 yuan). It is not a scenic spot yet, but according to local people, the government is going to demolish the old street and turn it into a scenic spot, which has attracted many old residents' dissatisfaction. Walking on the narrow street of the old street, there are vendors selling vegetables, fruits and daily necessities on both sides of the street, and you can also see the shed of the most common tea room: 1, two or three tables and benches, where people sit together and watch TV chat while drinking tea ... In short, if the scenic spot is Wuzhen in art, then the old street is Wuzhen in life.

Wuzhen is not big, and half a day is enough for sightseeing. But Wuzhen is really a place worth visiting. In the evening 1, we got on the bus to Shanghai, and the trip to Wuzhen ended here.

Trip to Shanghai

1 I didn't go to Shanghai, and I didn't have much interest, so I will write this paragraph briefly. We arrived in Shanghai at 5 pm on August 17, and then took a taxi to Shanghai Fudan University. Our companion's friend in Shanghai booked us a train ticket to Beijing at 7 o'clock the next night. At 7 o'clock in the evening, we took bus No.55 to the Bund, because it was the weekend and this season, and there were so many people on the Bund. Because of the lack of electricity, the lights on the Bund are not all on, so it is not as good as the Bund on TV at night. Later, we visited Nanjing Road, which is also crowded with people, just like there are always so many people whenever you go to Wangfujing, Beijing. But Nanjing Road in Shanghai is longer than Wangfujing in Beijing, and the clothes are greatly discounted, and the clothes look beautiful. I want to have a good look around, but I'm too tired to be interested. I was very tired when I went back that night, but fortunately I didn't drive us to get up early the next day, so I had a good sleep. This is the time 1 when I can have a good sleep during the seven-day trip. But when I got up the next day, I felt even more tired. Maybe the nerves and muscles are too tight these days, and you can't adapt once you relax. At noon 12, we checked out, took a taxi to the railway station to store our luggage, and we started to split up. We two girls went to visit the City God Temple, and they two men went to visit the Financial Street. We made an appointment to meet at the train station at 6 pm. We took bus No.64 from the railway station to the Chenghuang Temple, which was also crowded. We had a snack at the Chenghuang Temple, and it was boring to stroll around, then we went to Nanjing Road. It was cloudy that morning and it began to rain lightly in the afternoon. It turned into moderate rain after 4 o'clock. We want to go back to the railway station at 5: 30, but we can't get a taxi on Nanjing Road. Later, I asked a local, and he told us that the fastest way was to take the subway. Walk from Nanjing Road to People's Square and take the subway 1 line to the railway station. Fortunately, taking the subway didn't delay our train. We took the train from Shanghai to Beijing at 7: 00 pm and arrived in Beijing at 9: 00 on August 18, so our 7-day trip ended. I have no feeling about Shanghai. It is just a modern city like Beijing.

Summary:

Our self-occupation trip cost about 1500- 1600 (excluding shopping expenses), which is slightly higher than the travel agency's quotation (the travel agency's quotation is around 1200).
