Hangzhou is a characteristic city full of humanistic feelings. It is also a modern city with rich and developed tourism resources and tourism industry. It retains a large number of cultural and historical relics, buildings and unique tourist projects, allowing you to To fully understand the core concepts of Jiangnan culture, let me share with you a detailed guide to Hangzhou.
Although I stayed in Hangzhou for 4 days, only two days were really fun and enriching. The two days passed by in a hurry. I only experienced a few scenic spots in Hangzhou. Not all of them represent the temperament and connotation of Hangzhou. Let me share with you this itinerary.
Hangzhou travel itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Hangzhou in the morning, check into Ji Hotel (Hangzhou West Lake Branch), have lunch at Xinfeng Snacks, and have a good nap, 16:00 in the afternoon Walk to the West Lake, eat at the New White Deer Restaurant in the evening, and visit Qinghefang Street to buy souvenirs
The next day: sleep in, have lunch (, then go to Xixi National Wetland Park, and then go to Zhejiang in the evening University (cancelled, I was too tired after visiting Xixi, so I ran back to the hotel to sleep, went to the restaurant to fry shrimps in the evening, and finally visited Wulin Night Market (it wasn’t that big, so I went back to the hotel to watch TV after shopping)
The third day: High-speed train to Wuzhen, stay at Wuzhen Lanshe Design Hotel, take a nap to avoid the scorching sun at noon, and head to Xizha at 16:30 pm
Day 4: From Wuzhen to Ningbo, visit Tianyige Museum, evening Return home (don’t ask why we went back from Ningbo, because the air tickets are cheap
Detailed guide to two-day trip to Hangzhou
I am ashamed to say that this is also the first time Sissy and I are not accompanied by our family) We were flying alone. Perhaps the most important guide we did was not how to play in Hangzhou, but how to board the plane. In the end, Sissy’s sister couldn’t bear to worry about us, so she took us to the airport at five in the morning and helped us get everything on the plane. After completing the process, I boarded the plane easily.
Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport does not yet have a subway, so you must take the airport bus to the city, buy a ticket with your ID card, and choose the destination you want to reach. If you don’t know the terminal, it is recommended to navigate the bus route first. There will be instructions for that route, or you can go to the manual ticket office.
Our hotel is next to the West Lake, so we need to go to the West Lake. Friends can refer to our two routes. Route 1 is directly connected by the airport bus, but requires more walking; Route 2 requires getting off the train and transferring to the subway, which requires less walking.
Route 1: Xiaoshan Airport T3 - Xiaoshan International. Airport station, Wulinmen Civil Aviation Ticket Office - Take the Wulinmen Airport Bus - Ji Hotel West Lake Branch (walk 1.2 kilometers, 20 yuan, 1 hour and 13 minutes)
Route 2: Xiaoshan Airport T3 - Xiaoshan International Airport Station - Airport Bus Binjiang Line, Direction to Entrepreneurial Talent Base - Subway Jiangling Road Station - Jiangling Road Station Exit A - Fengqi Road Station Exit C1 - All Seasons Hotel (walk 528m24 yuan
Hangzhou Subway:
As the base of Alipay, Hangzhou uses Alipay very frequently. You can also scan the Alipay code directly when taking the subway. Of course, you can also buy tickets.
JI Hotel (Xihu Branch)
The hotel is located on Wulin Road in the city center. The surrounding area is still very prosperous. It takes 5 minutes to walk to West Lake. It takes about 20 minutes to take the subway from the hotel to Hangzhou East Station. But what impressed me the most To our delight, as soon as we stepped into the hotel lobby, we were surrounded by the faint fragrance of Longjing tea, which overflowed with freshness. The fatigue of the journey was instantly blown away, leaving only the new yearning for the West Lake.
Feng Snacks
This is the first choice for breakfast among Hangzhou people, and it is also our first choice for our first meal in Hangzhou. It is cheap and of good quality. Mainly serving Hangzhou-style dim sum, special flavored buns, shrimp steamed buns, throat steamed buns, shrimp wontons, and beef vermicelli are all popular choices.
There are many people in the store, and ordering is very fast. It is recommended to take a good look before ordering. 5 seconds seems extremely long in the ordering process. After ordering your meal, go to the window on the left with your receipt to pick up your meal.
The 7 yuan shrimp wontons, each wonton is plump, the shrimp is firm and elastic in every bite, and the soup is full of flavor, not a drop is left.
The 10 yuan shrimp dumplings can be paired with some vinegar to make them more delicious. Yes, if you see a teapot on the counter, please don’t be confused. The teapot is filled with vinegar.
The 4 yuan beef vermicelli is a great value. The taste is very full and rich. Although it is only a little bit of minced meat, the whole bowl of vermicelli is full of meaty aroma. The vermicelli is very smooth and tender, which will test you. Chopstick skills. Although it is a bit unsightly, I suggest you pick it up and eat it.
We were fed for only 21 yuan, and we were sweating profusely. It is recommended to choose a central location near the air conditioner if you have the opportunity. The window seat is really hot.
Almost every roadside shop or parking lot in Hangzhou sells Hangzhou old yogurt. In fact, it is known that it is not a specialty. Almost every city has some old yogurt named after the city. However, I'm curious to give it a try. It costs 15 yuan a cup and is no different from ordinary yogurt.
Hangzhou West Lake
Speaking of the route to West Lake 10 years ago, I probably don’t remember it at all. It’s not so much that I don’t remember, it’s better to say that I don’t know. In the past, I followed my dad on my trips. After my mother left, I didn’t know where I went. I just remember that the West Lake was particularly beautiful and clear at that time. Looking back now, it must be because the West Lake had just been dredged in 2009 not long ago.
The famous "Ten Scenes of West Lake" include the spring dawn on the Su Di of the Southern Song Dynasty, the remaining snow on the broken bridge, the wind lotuses in Quyuan, the fish watching in Huagang, the singing of orioles in the willows, the sunset on Leifeng, the moon reflected in the three pools, the autumn moon on the flat lake, the twin peaks in the clouds, Nanping is famous for its Evening Bell
To be honest, not many people go there one by one to check in. They basically circle the lake according to the orange line marked on the map. Since you have come to West Lake, you should come and experience it. There are many of them with amorous feelings, but few of them check in the scenic spots. It is also a kind of fun to be casual wherever you go.
It takes about 3-5 hours to walk around the West Lake. The more worthwhile attractions are Broken Bridge, Su Causeway and Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, which is the pattern on the back of 1 yuan.
If you want to take the best effect, you can take a cruise to Xiaoyingzhou to watch. The ticket price is 55 yuan for adults. The opening hours are 7:30-16:30 in spring and summer, and 8:30 in autumn and winter. 00-16:00, there are not many people like us who take a lazy nap and sleep until 4 o'clock. However, you can also take a battery car around the lake for 5 yuan per person.
But I still have to complain, why can't we postpone it a little bit? You'll probably be heated to death if you take a boat in the scorching sun.
There are endless broken bridges. This is the place where Xu Xian and White Snake met. This is also the place that countless lovers are fascinated by. Holding hands, they walk from the broken bridge to Bai Causeway, and from Bai Causeway to Su Embankment, never tired of it.
However, in the peak season of August, the Broken Bridge does not seem to be suitable for couples to walk and young girls to meet on the bridge; if the Broken Bridge will break, it will probably be broken by the crowd.
If you ask me what I like most about the West Lake, I may not be able to tell you exactly what it is, but I like this feeling very much. Walking aimlessly by the West Lake with the people I care about makes me feel... What you yearn for may be the West Lake, or it may be the willows on the shore, or it may be a path you have walked.
Traveling without purpose is true travel. You don’t need to bear the burden of checking in here, and you must gain something. Traveling is when you are comfortable and have fun.
If romance has a color, it must be green in West Lake in Hangzhou. Along the West Lake is the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, which is said to be the largest humanities museum in Zhejiang Province, with a collection of more than 100,000 cultural relics. The Fuchun Mountain Residence Pictures are collected here. Opening hours are 9:00-17:00, free.
If you have a leisurely time, Zhongshan Park next to the West Lake is also a good place to go, and it is also free.
As one of the ten scenic spots in West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda is also a major attraction in West Lake. According to legend, the White Snake flooded the Jinshan Mountain to save Xu Xian, but was trapped under the Leifeng Pagoda by Fahai. Later, after defeating Fahai, Lei Feng The peak tower collapsed.
Leifeng Pagoda, a thousand-year-old pagoda built in 977 in the Northern Song Dynasty, did collapse. Although it was not what the myth said, it was inseparable from Xu Xian and White Snake.
It was folklore at that time that the bricks of the Leifeng Pagoda could ward off diseases and strengthen the body. It also symbolized love because the Leifeng Pagoda had imprisoned the White Snake. Therefore, the bricks on the bottom of the Leifeng Pagoda were gradually dug out. Finally, on the afternoon of September 25, 1924, Leifeng Pagoda collapsed.
What we are seeing now is the newly built Leifeng Pagoda, which is China’s first colorful bronze pagoda. The ticket price is 40. Many people say that it is not worth it, but travel itself is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. This pagoda with a history of thousands of years must have its unique value and significance. < /p>
But the cruise has ended, and we can’t go to Xiaoyingzhou to visit Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, so we simply ended the trip at Su Causeway (actually I was tired and didn’t want to leave
Goodbye West Lake, the time we have met after ten years is indeed a bit short, but you still leave a unique mark in my heart

Dinner time
New Bailu Restaurant
A brand with a history of 20 years, each branch has a unique The decoration style includes American pastoral style, post-modern industrial style, European palace style, and Jiangnan classical style. The West Lake Yintai store we went to should be in post-modern industrial style. It has the same decoration as a bar. The experience of eating Hangzhou cuisine in this environment is really novel. , the store’s signatures are the egg yolk chicken wings and egg yolk steak series.
The crispy truffle tofu is quite unique. It is crispy on the outside but tender and smooth on the inside. It tastes good, but The taste is a bit bland, it would be nice to have some dipping sauce.
I didn’t expect the chicken wings to be the signature dish, but it tastes really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The West Lake water shield soup impressed me. It's a bit surprising. It's very light, almost as thin as boiling it in water, but the taste is very special. The texture of the dish is very smooth. It is said that it can reduce the heat, so you can give it a try.
Ice cream baked bread is actually toast with a piece of ice cream on top, which is not as delicious as expected.
The sweet and sour pork ribs are famous here, but they don’t feel that delicious. They are fried very crispy and the bones can be eaten directly, but the meat always feels weird.
The Yipin open-back shrimp has a slightly spicy taste, and the shrimp is relatively fresh and delicious.
The total *** consumption is about 150 yuan, and the price/performance ratio is not bad, but as far as I am concerned, this is not an authentic Hangzhou cuisine, but more like an Internet celebrity restaurant that tends to cater to the tastes of young people.
Qinghefang Street
In China, almost every city has such a commercial street with a sea of ??people, all tourists, and ancient culture as the carrier. It is also like Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, Tianzifang in Shanghai, and Shangxiajiu in Guangzhou.
Qinghefang Street has been a prosperous area in Hangzhou since ancient times. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Qinghefang Street was lined with shops and restaurants. It was the political and cultural center of Hangzhou and a gathering place for merchants. It is still the most prosperous area today. If you want to buy some souvenirs with Hangzhou characteristics, this is a very good choice.
Transportation: Close to Anding Road Station of Metro Line 1, just a 10-minute walk from Exit C.
Compared to real Hangzhou specialties, the business of online celebrity stores is obviously better. The atmosphere in the store and the packaging of the products are indeed exquisite.
You can refer to our guide to buy souvenirs or dine:
Grandma Sun’s braised green onion buns and Dingsheng cake (souvenirs, Southern Song Dynasty Hu Ji, Jiang Shunfa, Tong Xiao Man Handmade Tea Cake Shop, Zhiweiguan, Zhuangyuan Pavilion (big meal
Qianwei Douhua, Dingsheng Cake Shop, Gaozu Shengjian (high praise), Sheep Soup Restaurant (the most authentic sheep-eating restaurant, Juying Noodle House, Life in September, pickled vegetables and fresh meat mooncakes
Qinghefang Street is not a modern commercial street built to attract tourists, but a real street that retains its historical atmosphere. Walking on the street. , you can vaguely feel the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, with warm lights and bustling crowds. If you don't pay attention, you may get separated, or you may be bumped into by passers-by eating skewers next door.
It is a traditional Chinese folk art. The performer pulls the rope outside the box to scroll the picture, and the viewer observes the changes in the picture through the camera. The built-in picture is usually accompanied by the performer singing. , explain the content of the picture.
What we want to preserve is not only the historical streets, but also the traditional crafts and culture. Only by watching the masters shouting hard can we attract the attention of several children, and The bustling commercial shops on both sides form a strong contrast.
As the times have progressed and there are more entertainment methods, some of the old culture has quietly dimmed. Whether it has withdrawn from the stage of history, it is still difficult to survive in the open air. Walking around the streets, perhaps the only thing that can make me stop is this inconspicuous corner.
Maybe in 10 years, when I come here again, I will bring my children. Will the master of Nala Movies still be here? No, I hope he won’t be here.
I hope to see more young people inheriting the craftsmanship and appearing in Qinghefang Street.

Following the trend and bought a cup of ebony juice, it costs 20 yuan a cup. The iced ebony juice is sweet and sour, which makes people salivate just by looking at it. The smooth and wanton taste passes through the mouth. After a big sip, people can’t help but say "Haha" "It doesn't matter what the temperature is at 30° at this time. She finally managed to find a spot in the crowd to take pictures. It seems like an understatement, but in fact, Sissy is going crazy with the heat.
Qinghefang Street:
As a street that originated in the Song Dynasty, it retains a lot of cultural atmosphere. At the same time, it is a must-visit commercial street. There are all kinds of specialties and souvenirs. It is very worth visiting.

Hangzhou Night View
The two lazy guys almost slept until noon the next day before getting up, and checked the recommended restaurants nearby. I decided what to eat only 10 minutes before my trip.
Jiujiali·Laoji Hangbang Cuisine
It is said that a Huangshan native came to Hangzhou to study Hangbang cuisine and founded it. An extraordinary restaurant, after years of research, every dish is crafted with ingenuity.
I ate the West Lake Vinegar Fish by the West Lake 10 years ago, which has made me linger for many years. I wonder if I can taste the same taste in this restaurant.
I bought a 108 yuan set meal from this store. It didn’t seem like a lot, but it was actually so much that I burst my stomach.
The West Lake vinegar fish is a signature dish. Half of the fish is made into vinegar sauce, which is sour and delicious, and the other half is steamed, so that you can enjoy the freshest and most tender taste of the fish.
Unfortunately, this is not the way I had it 10 years ago. At that time, it was half sweet and sour fish and half pine nut fish, but the West Lake vinegar fish in Jiujiali is also impressive enough. (Except for being a little prickly
Beggar’s Chicken is the absolute most delicious dish for both of us. The whole chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed. It has a faint fragrance. The steamed chicken is very tender and completely cooked. Every bite is full of flavor, and even the bones have to be inhaled after eating.
The portion of West Lake Beef Soup is really big, the taste is rich and slightly sour, which can boost the appetite and relieve the greasiness of the beef. However, no matter how delicious the portion is, it cannot be finished by two people. .
In addition, the set menu also includes Dongpo Pork, Xiao Long Bao, and Hot and Sour Potato Shreds. These dishes are quite satisfactory and I won’t go into details.
Xixi National Wetland Park
Xixi National Wetland Park is the first wetland park that integrates urban wetlands, agricultural wetlands and cultural wetlands. Together with West Lake and Xiling, it is also known as the "Hangzhou" Three West" and was selected as one of China's "Top Ten Charming Wetlands".
Transportation: There is no subway yet. It is quite troublesome if you need to transfer from subway to bus. It is recommended to use Didi for convenience.
① The opening hours of the park are 8:00~17:30. The east area is mainly for cruise ships. The core scenic spot is Fudi in the west area. You need to buy an additional ticket for the green embankment in the west area. I remember it seems to be 60 yuan.
②The combined ticket includes a boat ticket of 120 yuan, and it is recommended to take a boat; it does not include a boat ticket of 70 yuan (purchase online, basically only the free open areas on the map can be seen, and some parks in the scenic area are still open) There is a separate fee. The whole journey takes 4 to 6 hours.
There are five piers, Shentankou, Jialu Tianzhuang, Zhoujiacun, Baijia, and Yanshui Fishing Village. Each pier requires a boat ticket. You can get on and off at the same time
Zhoujiacun is the main pier, and you can also go to other piers. Whichever pier you get on will end up at which pier~ Remember that the upper and lower piers are separate, just follow the signs
< p>It takes 20 minutes from Shentankou Pier to Jiaolutianzhuang Pier. The scenery is better if you take the left side.It takes 10 minutes from Ziaolutianzhuang Pier to Zhoujiacun Pier
Zhoujiacun Pier-Yanshui 10 minutes from Yuzhuang Pier
10 minutes from Yanshui Yuzhuang Pier to Shenzhentankou Pier
Best route:
North Gate (10 yuan on foot or battery car) —Hezhu Street—Buy a ticket at Shetankou entrance to enter the park—take a battery boat—Linglu Tianzhuang—Zhoujia Village—Yanshui Fish Village—exit the park at Shentankou
Or Xixi Paradise Visitor Center (battery car). —Gaozhuang (walking—Linglu Tianzhuang Pier—Scheduled Cruise—Xixi Paradise.
At that time, I was always struggling with which one to go to, Songcheng or Xixi. Songcheng has a unique historical and cultural landscape, but compared to For commercially constructed scenic spots, we tend to prefer nature.
In fact, we originally planned to take a boat ride, but in the end we chose to walk the whole way, because this way we can get closer to nature and feel the vitality of every plant and tree. Breathe the freshest air in the "lungs of the earth", stop and go as you like (actually to save money
If you want to go on a rowing boat, you can also buy it at the ticket office, and you can take 2-6 Personally, it’s 100 yuan per hour.
There is a KFC and Starbucks in Xixi Wetland Park, which are rare in tourist attractions. You can have a cup of cappuccino here and look at the surrounding wetlands. The environment is also fresh and refreshing in a different way.
Meow Meow on the eaves of Starbucks~
However, everyone will be sweating when hiking in Xixi in summer when the temperature is over 30 degrees. When it rains, it is still recommended to take a battery boat if conditions permit.
But walking will bring you a different kind of scenery that cannot be seen by boat. There are neat trees standing on both sides of the asphalt road in Fudi. The tall pine trees coincided with the continuous drizzle, which filled the air with the smell of fresh vegetation. I kept walking along the straight road, looking forward to what beautiful scenery I would see next.
I like the slow life streets of Hezhu Street and Jiangcun Market. Just like our attitude towards travel, we take our time and take things as they come, visit unique shops and some cultural exhibition halls, and feel the customs and customs that are different from our hometown. , watching the tourists coming and going with smiles on their faces, maybe this is what they like to see.
Although they inevitably complained about the heat, they were surrounded by a wasp in the middle of the trip, which scared them away. Move. This may be the beauty of the wetland, a kind of "green" romance. Everywhere is a scenery, and the scenery is beautiful because of you, so beautiful that it attracts bees and butterflies.
Speaking of the ways to visit Xixi Wetland, in addition to boating, hiking and driving, there are also helium balloon tours, including water, land and air tours. The "Sky Range Rover" sightseeing helium balloon is located in the Slow Life District. It is currently the only manned sightseeing helium balloon independently developed and manufactured in my country. It is also the only high-altitude helium balloon experience project in Hangzhou.
It can take 25 people into the air at a time, which takes about 3 minutes. It can lift vertically to 150 meters and is more stable than an elevator. In addition to being suspended by a steel main cable, as a "secondary insurance", the helium balloon body is also held by three safety ropes.
Unlike a hot air balloon that uses gas to boost its ascent, a helium balloon does not need to be ignited. It purely relies on the principle that helium is less dense than air to rise. In fact, it is like holding a huge balloon.
There is a circular walkway on the helium balloon, which allows you to have a bird's eye view of Xixi.
But maybe it was raining that day or it wasn’t fully open yet so I didn’t get on it, which is a pity.
Xixi Wetland Park:
As one of China's "Top Ten Charming Wetlands", the beauty of Xixi Wetland comes from the protection of the original ecology, and it is rich in animal and plant resources; but it is also Because it is an original ecology, the landscape is not that "amazing", which requires us all to have a pair of eyes that discover beauty. However, in addition to tickets, many attractions in the scenic area require additional tickets, which is not very friendly.
The best time to visit is from February to May when the flowers are in full bloom. In July and August, the flowers have faded and it is very hot.

Return from the trip
I originally planned to visit Zhejiang University on the way, but after walking around Xixi Wetland, it was really I was too tired, so I slipped back to the hotel and ate at Ge You.
Old Man’s Fried Shrimp
It can be said to be the most satisfying meal I’ve had in Hangzhou. It’s open until 9 o’clock in the evening. , we went there at 8.30, and after finishing our meal, we were almost the last table of customers.
The signature fried shrimps can be said to be the best fried shrimps I have ever tasted. I thought they were spicy. It's actually sweet and sour, and you won't get tired of it as much as you want. It's very filling for two people. It's so delicious that you won't even want to spit out the shrimp shells.
Don't chew the shrimp heads! Don't chew the shrimp heads! Don't chew the shrimp heads! Otherwise, it will taste so good that you will die on the spot. The rich taste of the shrimp paste soaked in the sweet and sour sauce will instantly get to your head, making you unable to stop and eat more and more. The more I want to eat it
The dry-fried hairtail is true to the old man’s recipe. The hairtail is fried just right. If it’s fried a little more, it’ll be burnt, if it’s a little bit less, it’ll be soft. It’s crispy and delicious, and the taste is endless after being paired with two different dipping sauces. < /p>
Three delicacies soup is not just about three delicacies. The soup is filled with a large pot containing river shrimp, cabbage, meatballs, pork belly, fried pork skin, fungus and other ingredients. The soup is clear and delicious. Not a drop left behind
Mango Ice Dessert, a perfect combination of smooth smoothie and mango, each taro ball is full of flavor, and you feel cool every time you eat a spoonful It exploded in your mouth and was so delicious that you could lick the plate.
After dinner, we passed by the Wulin Night Market. There were quite a lot of specialties and various snacks, but this could not arouse the interest of the two satisfied people, so they did not take pictures. , walked around and then went back to the hotel to watch TV.
Hangzhou Travel Summary
This two-day and two-night trip to Hangzhou can be said to be a perfect ending, leisurely and leisurely. There are so many places worth remembering after visiting this green city. Hangzhou is a model of the perfect combination of modernity and history. You can see the roar of supercars all over the streets, and there are also well-preserved ancient ruins.
This is a model city of civilization. As an outsider, I can’t imagine that drivers are so courteous to pedestrians. Before you cross the road, the vehicles on both sides are almost the same. They brake suddenly to give way to you, even if you want the car to pass first, they just stop there and wait for you to pass. If it were Guangzhou, I might have been greeted by the driver. < /p>
To be honest, this trip to Hangzhou after ten years has not filled the memory gap of the past. Perhaps this is the cruelty of time. We are always forgetting, always parting, and always starting a new journey. , we cannot choose to remember them all, but we will definitely remember the happiest travel memories today.
