1. Shaoxing travel guide, self-driving one-day tour
Start from Shaoxing and visit East Lake.
East Lake is located about six kilometers east of the ancient city of Shaoxing. It is one of the three famous lakes in Zhejiang Province. It cleverly combines cliffs, caves, stone bridges and lakes. Although East Lake is small, it has become a rare lake wonder recognized by the tourism industry for its strange rock caves. The Japan American Tourism Organization Transportation Company once conducted a questionnaire survey among Japanese tourists who visited West Lake in Hangzhou and East Lake in Shaoxing at the same time. I have more impressions of East Lake than West Lake, which shows that the praise of East Lake is not the self-perception of Shaoxing people. The location of East Lake used to be a bluestone mountain. Qin Shihuang used to drive his horses to drink here during his eastward tour, and it was called Shaoshan. After the Han Dynasty, Shaoshan became the quarry of Shaoxing. After thousands of years of drilling, half of the green mountain was cut away, forming a cliff more than 50 meters high, thanks to a special stone extraction method. Workers generally have to go more than 20 meters underground to remove stones, and some even go as deep as 40 or 50 meters. Over time, a clear pool with a length of more than 200 meters and a width of about 80 meters was formed. Tao Junxuan, a famous rural sage in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty, had a unique vision. He used the quarry to build a wall and slightly widened the water surface, creating an East Lake with mountains and rivers reflecting each other. After a hundred years of artificial decoration, East Lake has become a wonderful landscape bonsai.

Day 1:
From west to north, follow the directions of Yangzhou Double Museum-Jinghua City Business District-Shi Kefa One day is enough for the Memorial Hall - Eight Monsters Memorial Hall - Siwang Pavilion - Wenchang Pavilion - Dongguan Street - Night Tour of the Ancient Canal and other attractions.
The first stop in the morning is from the southernmost Yangzhou Shuangbo Museum, which consists of the Yangzhou Sculpture Museum and the Yangzhou History Museum. There are many national treasure exhibitions, eight monster works exhibitions, sculpture exhibitions, etc. They are all interesting and you need to walk around slowly, so it will take three or four hours. There are large shopping malls and online celebrity attractions in the center of Beijing, such as UFO Restaurant and Colorful World Zhongshu Ge, where you can check in and eat.
Shi Kefa Memorial Hall and Yangzhou Eight Monster Memorial Hall can be omitted according to time.
I always thought that Siwang Pavilion and Wenchang Pavilion would be like small courtyards, with towers inside. In fact, they are at the four intersections in the middle of the road, completely passable. Check them out when you can drive by.
Actually, Dongguan Street is a tourist street with various delicacies and small shops from Internet celebrities. You can stroll around slowly. There are some famous places there, such as simple meals, coconut eggs, and long queues. There are many famous former residences and historical attractions around Dongguan Street, such as the courtyard of the former residence of King Zhu Ziqing. You can rent a local rickshaw and listen to the explanation as you go. It's very interesting. It should be noted that these former residences are open on holidays at 5 o'clock, so people who want to see the former residence must go before 5 o'clock, otherwise they can only look outside.
The entire Dongguan Street takes about 3 hours, so it’s basically time for dinner. You can find several restaurants to eat around the ancient city tower at the end of Dongguan Street.
After dinner at eight or nine o'clock, the cruise ship ferry was right across the street, but I took a boat to the Grand Canal in the evening. In fact, the Grand Canal at night is usually very scenic, and it’s quite boring to go back and forth for an hour. Also, except for the willow trees, nothing can be seen on either side. Compared with night tours in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chongqing and other places, it is inferior. If possible, you can find other ferries to take a single-line night trip, and just watch the willow trees at night.
The first day of the trip is over. It takes about 9 to 10 hours. Even if it is compact, it is not very tiring.
The tourist attractions are relatively concentrated, so the travel route I planned follows horizontal and vertical routes. My first stop on the first day was Daming Temple. There is a Jianzhen Memorial Hall in Daming Temple. It takes about an hour or two to walk around.
It is only 5 minutes away from the North Gate of Slender West Lake of Daming Temple.
Remember to enter through the north gate of Slender West Lake and exit through the south gate. So there is no turning back. Of course, if you are on a road trip and your car is parked in the parking lot of the North Gate, you can go around Slender West Lake, enter through the North Gate, exit through the North Gate, and then drive to a park. Anyway, Yangzhou is not a big city and it only takes a short drive to get there.
In ancient times, West Lake was called the Bao River. In fact, you didn't and I didn't know until you went there. In fact, it is completely different from West Lake in Hangzhou. It should be a winding waterway with pavilions and gardens full of flowers and plants on both sides.
What's more, the north gate was built later. There is no water system, just some landscapes and botanical gardens. Now the entire Slender West Lake is actually a park, a big and beautiful park.
But the scenery of Slender West Lake is really beautiful. The most famous scenic spots, such as 24th Bridge, Wuting Bridge, White Tower, Xiaojinshan and Xuyuan, are located in the center of the park, and they are relatively close to each other. But to completely visit all the attractions there, it will take about four or five hours, because you have to slowly experience the scenery, stop and go, feel the breath of spring, and feel the beauty of nature. This is what traveling is about, in a nutshell.
You can reach Geyuan in 5 minutes by car from the South Gate of Slender West Lake.
Ge Garden and He Garden are private gardens, not very big, and the scenery inside is not bad. After seeing Slender West Lake, let’s look at these two small gardens. In fact, the impression is average.
The garden is famous for its bamboo groves and rockeries and is known as one of the four famous gardens in China, while the garden is famous for its double corridors, known as the No. 1 corridor in the world. It’s also good to take a walk, listen to explanations, and increase your knowledge. It takes about two or three hours to play slowly in the two parks.
After visiting Heyuan, you can go to 1912 Block, eat, and go shopping. This is the end of your pleasant two-day trip to Yangzhou.
A poem made Yangzhou famous all over the world. My old friend's Western Yellow Crane Tower fireworks will come to Yangzhou in March, making tourists from all over the world want to come to Yangzhou in spring to see its beauty.

6. Shaoxing travel guide and self-driving one-day tour route
There are two kinds of people, one is Shaoxing people and the other is non-Shaoxing people.
Let us first talk about Shaoxing people. Don’t have too many Tang characters, such as Lu Xun’s hometown, Shen Garden, etc. In urban Shaoxing. Note that the parking space at the entrance is tight, and it is adjacent to the Orchid Pavilion of Dayu's Tomb, the subordinate Zhuji Baili Wuxie Xinchang, the Nineteenth Peak in the Cloud, etc. These are non-statutory holidays. Weekends are OK.
If you are not from Shaoxing, the above attractions will charge a fee, but you can still find many free attractions. Anchang Ancient Town, Shangyu Fushan Chinese Filial Piety Garden, and the former residence of a calligrapher in Xinchang are not as popular as the paid ones.
