Travel guide from Shanghai to the ancient town of xitang

Text:

1. Briefly introduce Xitang:

Xitang is located in Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, with superior geographical position and convenient transportation. Since Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 3 started broadcasting, it has entered the heyday of tourism. Now it is a national 4A-level tourist area, and it should be upgraded to a 5A-level tourist area soon. Xitang is not large in scale, so you can play in depth by choosing a self-help tour for 1-2 days.

2. How to get to Xitang

(1) Railway: There are 8 high-speed trains passing through Jiashan South Railway Station every day in Shanghai. After the South Railway Station leaves the station, you can take the K222 tourist line directly to the entrance of the ancient town of xitang. The starting and ending time of K222 Road is 7: 31-21: 31, and the frequency interval is 41-51 minutes

(2) Highway: Shanghai South Railway Station (. There are 8 buses from Shanghai Bus Terminal (No.1666 Zhongxing Road) to Xitang Bus Station every day, from 7:21 at the earliest to 18:31 at the latest. The fare is 32 yuan, and the journey takes about 91 minutes.

(3) go on road trip: Line 1: Take G51 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway in the urban area, transfer to G15 Shenhai Expressway, and then transfer to S32 Shenjiahu Expressway, and get off at Xitang Exit, with the whole journey of about 81 kilometers. Line 2: Take G61 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway in the urban area, transfer to G15 Shenhai Expressway, then transfer to S32 Shenjiahu Expressway, and get off at Xitang Exit.

3. Tickets (please read them carefully)

Xitang Tourism Bureau decided to implement the daily ticket collection system from May 7, 2112, which means that the previous situation of not collecting tickets from Monday to Friday no longer exists, and the ticket collection time has also changed, which is divided into two types: self-help tour and go on road trip.

1. Self-help tour (taking a bus to Xitang) collects tickets from 8 am to 4 pm. Then there are only two ways to buy tickets or find scalpers. Of course, finding scalpers is a risky thing in itself. Please weigh the pros and cons by yourself. It is generally around 21 yuan for scalpers to bring people into scenic spots. 2. The ticket collection time in go on road trip is from 8 am to 4 pm.

3. The method of ticket evasion is relatively simple, but it is inconvenient to make it public. Friends who need it can send me a letter in the station, and I will try my best to reply to you.

Ticket types

Now there are two kinds of tickets for Xitang, one is a joint ticket, which costs 1,111 yuan each, including 11 small scenic spots in the whole scenic area (I will make an inventory of the specific tour routes of these 11 scenic spots at the end of the article). However, everyone should pay attention to the fact that the night tour tickets will only be sold after 3 pm, which means that you can only buy a ticket of RMB 111 when you enter the scenic spot before 3 pm.

Since the tickets are mentioned, the cruise tickets are explained together. The cruise tickets are also divided into two time periods.

From Sunday to Thursday, the individual who has tickets for that day will be charged RMB 151 per boat in 21 yuan. Each individual who does not have a ticket for the same day in 31 yuan (only cruise tickets sold after 5pm can be purchased), and the charter fee for each boat in 211 yuan is limited to 8 people

On Fridays and Saturdays, national holidays, the fees for tourists who have tickets are exactly the same as above, while each individual who does not have tickets for the same day in 41 yuan (only cruise tickets sold after 5pm can be purchased), and the charter fee for each boat in 281 yuan is limited to 8 people

The opening hours of the cruise are divided into. Night tours are recommended. The night view of Xitang is beautiful, and it is too noisy during the day.

There are three cruise routes, which tourists and friends can choose by themselves according to their own needs, and the tour time is about 31 minutes.

4. Accommodation

In Xitang, there are many choices of accommodation, ranging from high-end star hotels to inns for residential renovation. Therefore, accommodation in Xitang is generally divided into three types

regular hotels, and there are many regular hotels in Xitang. As the only star hotel in the ancient town, the newly-built four-star hotel Yanyu Jiangnan has very good facilities, and the price is not expensive, so you can stay at around 511. In addition, there are Xitang Holiday Hotel (three-star) at the entrance of the ancient town and some small boutique holiday hotels

Waterfront Inn, which has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the scenery is good. No matter in the morning or at night, you can see the beautiful scenery of Xitang when you open the window, which takes advantage of the geographical conditions. The disadvantage is that the hotels near the river are generally rebuilt from old houses, with relatively small rooms and poor sound insulation. In summer, there are a little more mosquitoes

There is no river. There are many theme inns with unique decoration styles in the ancient town of xitang, and the rooms are all decorated in a very stylish way. If you are not used to staying in inns near the water, you can consider staying in these petty bourgeoisie hostels

Youth Hostels. As a mature scenic spot, Youth Hostels are naturally essential. Friends who travel alone can choose to stay in Youth Hostels, which can not only save travel expenses, but also make friends from all over the world.

In terms of price, The price of the inn is between 111-311 yuan, but it is normal to double it on weekends or holidays, and there is actually not much difference in price between waterfront and non-waterfront (except holidays), so it is better for tourists and friends to choose the most suitable place according to their own economic strength. Remember to shop around. 5. Snacks

Finally, when I come to Xitang and don't eat, then. But if you come just to eat, the snacks in Xitang will definitely disappoint you. It's not that the food in Xitang is not delicious. It's just that under the general situation of raw materials, it's hard to produce amazing food. No matter whether it's delicious or not, I will take stock of Xitang's special snacks for everyone.

1. Xitang manages the old lady's stinky tofu, which is the most famous snack in Xitang. Counterfeits are scattered all over Xitang, and I have been here so many times. In fact, the taste is quite good. 5 yuan has a box and a box of six pieces

2. Euryale ferox cake, an old-fashioned local product of Xitang. Basically, all tourists will take a little home. There are many different flavors to choose from, and the taste is not bad. The more famous is Yixiantian cake, which is located in West Street. As well as forest Gordon Euryale cake and Caoji cake, located in Tangdong Street. Generally, the price is RMB 11 per box, but if the Gordon Euryale cake is weathered and hardened, I suggest you buy it as appropriate.

3. The most famous one is Lu's wonton, which was originally located in the easternmost square of West Street, and now it has moved to a small storefront in a corner next to it. It took me a long time to find it this time, but I think the taste is just like that. What I ate was just a feeling, and I came here this time. It doesn't matter if you want to eat or not, but I found that the wine-made dumplings in Lushi's small wonton shop are delicious, and 5 yuan has a bowl. You can try

4. Xitang tofu flower, one of the famous snacks in Xitang. It used to be a stall with rich tofu flowers on the edge of Yongning Bridge, but now it has moved to a small shop in the northern section of Tangdong Street, which is difficult to find. The taste is ok, but the price has also increased. Now a bowl of steamed pork with lotus leaves is 5 yuan

. 5. Steamed pork with lotus leaves, a snack highlighted in Xitang official website, is sold by only two stores now, one is Yulouchun Hotel, and the other is steamed pork with old horse powder. This time, both of them have eaten it. Yulouchun's is much more delicious than that of old horse's, and there is more meat in it. 6.

7. Smoked green beans, which are very delicious and fragrant. The sweet ones are better than the spicy ones. I'm going to buy more to take home, haha. There are two kinds of packages, one is 8 yuan and the other is 11 yuan. Every store seems to taste the same, because it is very idle. A family tries to eat

8. Malt cake, a snack that only appears during the long summer solar term (May every year). It is a kind of sweet cake fried in oil. It is a bit euphemistic to say that it is a sweet cake. According to my taste, it is too sweet, but some people think it is delicious, and the price is cheaper than 3 yuan. The famous ones are Yang's cake and Wolong cake, both located in slate.

9. On the first day in the world, there are many noodle restaurants in Xitang, all of which are gathered in the snack square in the east of West Street. Many friends are curious about this name, so I specially went to official website, Xitang to have a look. In fact, the first noodle in Xitang is not a store's signboard, but a variety of noodles. This place in Xitang is called "noodles with p>11". The basic method is to cook the noodles first, and then add toppings to boil them together. Well, that's about it. The taste is average, the noodles are not delicious, the soup is not delicious, and the price is relatively expensive. Maltose, I .. The price is cheap, too. A bunch of

11. Dried prune biscuits in 3 yuan, a popular snack in the past, is actually a salty pie stuffed with dried prunes, which tastes quite crisp and costs 5 yuan a chunk. There are two shops in Xitang, one is in Tawan Street, and the other is near Songzi Laifeng Bridge.

12. Grandma's chicken feet seem to be a snack that only caught fire this year. I didn't see them when I came last time. They were 4 pieces for 11 yuan, which was delicious. The chicken feet were stewed badly in a pressure cooker and melted in the mouth. Located under Huanxiu Bridge Bridge

Basically, these are the local specialty snacks in Xitang. Of course, I don't rule out what I didn't eat. Welcome friends to help me supplement them.

VI. Hotels

In addition to snacks, there are various restaurants in Xitang, ranging from high-end to low-end. As a 4A-level tourist area, the price of food and beverage in Xitang is cheap, but cheap does not mean affordable, because the taste of most restaurants is really flattering. Here I will talk about the two restaurants I went to eat this time.

1. Yulouchun Hotel:

The old name of Xitang. However, the main reason for recommending this store is that the service attitude of this store is very good. From the boss to the waiter, they are very kind. Before ordering, they will ask your taste, and then recommend different dishes for different tastes. It is very thoughtful. On the whole, it is also the most cost-effective hotel in Xitang. It is more suitable for friends who want to taste the special dishes of Xitang, feel the local customs of Xitang and care about the price. I'm impressed by the Xitang specialty dishes in this shop, such as sauce-fried screws, scallion oil clams, oily eel paste, steamed white fish and so on. I really want to go again.

2. Qiantang Family:

Qiantang Family is the most famous hotel in Xitang, located under Yongning Bridge. Its storefront is relatively large in Xitang, and its business is very hot. Because it is converted from an old house, its sanitary conditions are relatively general, but it has a balcony along the river and the scenery is very beautiful. The price is not very high, and their menu will be posted at the end of the article, so you can refer to it. Perhaps the popularity is too high. Their dishes are prepared in advance, and the serving speed is super fast. It will take no more than 3 minutes from ordering to serving, and they will not order after 7: 31 in the evening. Here, I would like to remind everyone that the service attitude of Qiantang people is very, very poor. If they order slowly, they will be looked down upon by waiters. The taste of the food is above the overall level of Xitang, and it is still acceptable. From the perspective of environment, vegetable price and service, the cost performance of Qiantang is quite high, but nothing can impress me. It is more suitable for those friends who are only interested in the scenery and the rest are just floating clouds.

VII. Tourist routes of 11 scenic spots in the ticket

Among the 11 scenic spots in the joint ticket, only Wuguniang Park and Zhangzhenggen Carving Hall are outside the scenic spot. Among them, the shrine is a place where fake monks cheat money, and it is not recommended to visit it. Drunk Garden is located in Tawan Street, Wangzhai, Button Museum, Wadang Pavilion is located in West Street, Yellow Rice Wine Museum is located in Tangdong Street, Woodcarving Pavilion and Nizhai are located in Shaohong. The specific tour route is generally as follows: first, look at Huguo Suiliangwang Temple and Drunk Garden, then turn right after Huanxiu Bridge to see Wangzhai. After reading it, go straight back to see Button Pavilion, then look at Wadang Pavilion, go out of West Street, turn right after Anjing Bridge, and then turn left under Lujiaqiao to enter Shaohong.

VIII. National costumes

Many ladies will inevitably consume some national costumes with Xitang characteristics when they visit Xitang. First of all, these national costumes are not available on a treasure website. It turns out that there are two chain stores in Xitang that are engaged in the clothing business of famous people. One is flower making, and the other is Yiduo. However, it seems that I didn't see Yiduo this clothing store this time. It seems that it has been merged. The quality of clothes made of flowers is not bad. After all, this kind of clothes can only be worn in Xitang, and will not be worn to work or school.

IX. Bars

It's still meaningful to rank Xitang's bars in the ninth place. There are many bars in Xitang, and there is a famous bar street in Tangdong Street. There are nearly 31 bars in a small street, so you can imagine the popularity. First of all, let's talk about the consumption of Xitang bar. Generally speaking, the consumption of Xitang bar is almost the same in larger cities. 31 yuan, the worst beer, has the same price. The fruit bowl is around 31 yuan, the foreign wine is very expensive, and there are many fake wines, and the cocktails taste just so-so.

however, the biggest difference between Xitang Bar and City Bar is that it is very safe here, and there will be no illegal acts such as being drugged in the wine. Moreover, everyone is a tourist, and they come to Xitang for leisure and entertainment. Basically, there will be no jealousness and jealousy, fighting and fighting. It is precisely because of the good safety work that the bar business in Xitang is also very hot, but everyone should try not to drink too much when traveling outside. What goes wrong is always bad and affects the mood of travel.

11. Prevent being cheated and being slaughtered. Originally, Article 11 should be over, but there were many enthusiastic friends leaving messages in the last Raiders, so it is necessary to remind you of the safety in travel at last.

Precautions:

(1) There is nothing wrong with riding rickshaws after Xitang Bus Station, but be careful of being fooled by drivers in the process, such as introducing places to eat and places to stay, etc., which will get kickbacks. Be careful. If you want to find scalpers to bring them into the scenic spot, it is recommended to find some older local aunts. The indigenous people in Xitang are still kind.

(2) clearly mark the price. Whether eating or eating barbecue (especially the barbecue stall near the bar street), you should go to the place where the price is clearly marked, which is safer. Try to choose a restaurant with a little scale, and there will be some guarantee in terms of hygiene.

Xi. Attach the bus route from Xitang to the surrounding tourist attractions.

1. From Xitang to Wuzhen:

(1) Line 1: Take the bus, Xitang Bus Station (Pingchuan Road) take K152 to Jiaxing North Bus Station, get off, transfer to K78 bus, get off at Jiaxing West Bus Station, and get off at Jiaxing West Bus Station.

(2) Line 2: Carpooling with people. Many private cars or black cars will go to Wuzhen at the entrance of Xitang Bus Station, and they will call out at the door to carpool in Wuzhen at the cost of 51 yuan/person.

2. From Xitang to Jiaxing Nanhu or Jiaxing Yuehe:
