Please be patient and read it. The answers you want are all there, but the organization is a bit messy. Believe me, I suggest you go to a local hotel and then sign up for a one-day tour with the travel agency in the hotel. Although it is not the most perfect, it is the most comprehensive.
You can ask the tour guide what delicious food there is, at least you can eat it.
Go every night and contact a travel agency in the evening to visit the next day.
One day each in Hangzhou and Suzhou, and two days in Shanghai.
Since 4 stars and above are also acceptable, here are three Suzhou Wu Palace Sheraton Hotel (urban area) Hangzhou Sofitel West Lake Hotel (West Lake Avenue) Shanghai Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou is the most fun, you can compress your own time 1. Su Di Chunxiao is located
On the west side of West Lake, the north and south ends connect Nanshan Road and Beishan Road, with a total length of 2.8 kilometers.
It was built by Su Dongpo, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, who dredged the West Lake and piled up the mud in the lake when he was the magistrate of Hangzhou in the fourth year of Yuanyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1089 AD).
There are six stone arch bridges on the embankment, from south to north they are Yangbo Bridge, Suolan Bridge, Wangshan Bridge, Yadi Bridge, Dongpu Bridge and Kuahong Bridge.
Su Causeway was named in memory of Su Dongpo, also known as Su Gong Causeway. The "Su Dongpo Memorial Hall" is built at the southern end of the causeway.
2. Quyuan Lotus Wind was called "Quyuan Lotus Wind" in the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Quyuan" originally refers to a workshop for brewing official wine, located in today's Songdong and Hongchunqiao areas of Jiuli.
At that time, Jinsha Jian water flowed into the West Lake here. Quyuan took Jinsha Jian water to make wine and planted lotus flowers in the lake.
When the flowers bloom, the fragrance overflows and the scenery is beautiful and intoxicating.
As the years passed, no one visited the old site.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to welcome the emperor's parade, lotus flowers were specially planted in Yue Lake beside the Hongqiao Bridge on Su Causeway.
The name of Kangxi's book was erected on a monument, and "Quyuan" was changed to "Quyuan", and "Hefeng" was changed to "Fenghe".
3. Pinghu Qiuyue is located at the west end of Bai Causeway and becomes the starting point of Bai Causeway.
The third part faces water and leans against a solitary mountain.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Lake-viewing Pavilion was built here, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was converted into the Dragon King Temple.
In the 38th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1699), it was rebuilt into the Imperial Library, and a low platform facing the lake on three sides was built in front of the building.
There are good places to admire the moon.
4. Remaining snow on the Broken Bridge The Broken Bridge is located at the east end of Bai Causeway. It is said that the Bai Causeway was broken from Pinghu Qiuyue to this point, so it is called Broken Bridge.
It was called Baoyou Bridge in the Song Dynasty.
In the Yuan Dynasty, a couple surnamed Duan lived by the bridge and made a living by making wine, so it was also called Duanjiaqiao.
The current broken bridge was rebuilt in 1914. To the east of the bridge are the waterside pavilion "In the Light of Clouds and Water" and the stele pavilion "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow".
In the mythical story "The Legend of White Snake", the Broken Bridge is used as the place where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian met, which adds a mysterious and romantic color to the Broken Bridge.
? The broken bridge and remaining snow are a rare sight in West Lake.
"The West Lake is worse than the Sunny Lake, the Rainy Lake is not as good as the Moon Lake, and the Moon Lake is not as good as the Snow Lake."
5. Fish Viewing in Huagang? Located at the southern end of Sudi and leaning against Xishan Mountain in the north, it is the largest first-level park in the West Lake Scenic Area.
Its origin is recorded in chronicles. In the past, at the foothills of Huajia Mountain behind Damailing in Xishan Mountain, a clear stream flowed through here and poured into the West Lake, hence the name "Huagang".
6. Nanping Evening Bell is located in Jingci Temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain in the southwest of West Lake.
When Jingci Temple was first built, there was a bell tower.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1378), the old bell was too small and a giant bell weighing 10 tons was recast. Because of the loud sound of the bell and the many holes in Nanping Mountain behind the temple, the evening bell rang.
The sound of the bell echoes through the cave, spreads through the valley, and floats far away to most of Hangzhou, so there is a scene of "Nanping Evening Bell".
From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Jingci Temple experienced ups and downs, and the original bell was also abandoned.
The current bronze Buddhist bell was cast by the Hangzhou Oxygen Generator Factory in December 1986. It weighs more than 10 tons and is 3 meters high. The bell is inscribed with the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" written by Zhao Puchu and others, totaling 68,000
The remaining characters.
Japanese Soto Buddhists come to Jingji Temple to ring the bell on New Year's Eve every year to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
7. The viewing point of "Shuangfeng Chaoyun" is located beside the Hongbang Bridge on Lingyin Road, where the "Shuangfeng Chaoyun" imperial stele pavilion is located.
Standing on the front and looking due south and west, you can see the South Peak and the North Peak. The two peaks face each other at a distance of more than 10 miles.
In fact, the southern peak is only 254 meters above sea level, and the northern peak is 314 meters above sea level. They are named "peaks" because of the low and gentle mountains near the west of the lake.
? The origin of the name "Shuangfeng inserted into the clouds". According to previous investigations, whenever the mountain rain is about to come, if you look at the Shuangfeng from a distance, you will see the clouds and mountains and the sea of ??mist.
The tip is faintly visible.
This is where the name "Shuangfeng Chaoyun" comes from.
8. Leifeng Sunset? It is a reconstructed scenic spot among the ten scenic spots of West Lake.
Located on Xizhao Mountain on the branch of Nanping Mountain on the south bank of West Lake, there used to be an eight-sided and five-story brick pagoda. It was built by Uncle Qian Honggen, King of Wuyue, in 975 AD to celebrate the birth of his concubine Huang's son. It is commonly known as Huangfei Pagoda.
Because the pagoda is outside Xiguan, it is also called Xiguan Brick Pagoda.
Later generations renamed it "Leifeng Pagoda" because it was located on a hill called Leifeng.
When the sun sets in the west, the shadow of the tower stretches across the sky and becomes magnificent, hence the name "Leifeng Sunset".
9. Three Pools Reflecting the Moon is the largest island among the three islands in West Lake.
The area is about 70,000 square meters, of which 60% is water surface.
The base of the island was built by Nie Xintang, the magistrate of Qiantang County in the 35th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1607 AD), using the ruins of Shuixin Baoning Temple and dredging the silt from the West Lake.
In the Qing Dynasty, Liu dikes were connected to the east and west, and yellow bridges were built to the north and south, making the whole island look like a "field", forming a pattern of "islands in lakes and lakes in islands", just like a fairy mountain and a beautiful island, so it is also called "Tian".
