As a "time-honored brand in Shanghai", Lanting has been to the Michelin bibendum, which is a local favorite restaurant in Shanghai. Among them, the most famous is their chicken bone sauce, which is rich in oil and red sauce. It tastes very authentic and the most important price is very affordable. It is recommended that partners who want to taste authentic local dishes can come here. However, it is worth noting that this store is closed from 14: 11 to 16: 31 in the afternoon, and queuing is a common phenomenon. After all, "only food can't live up to it" ~

After getting up in the morning, I took the high-speed train to Hangzhou, and I had a good mood all the way. It's already noon in Hangzhou. Let's have lunch first and visit the West Lake scenic spot in the afternoon.
13:11 West Lake Scenic Area
Highlights: "Hangzhou is the best among the 36 West Lakes in the world"
Su Shi once wrote, "If you want to compare the West Lake with the West Lake, it is always appropriate to make up lightly." The beauty of the West Lake is that it is poetic all year round. Among them, one mountain, two pagodas, three islands, three dikes and five lakes are the basic pattern, and the ten scenes of the West Lake are dotted among them, which adds a touch of bright color to it.

Admission: free
Recommended tour route: Broken Bridge, Broken Snow-Autumn Moon in Pinghu-Bai Causeway-Su Causeway-Fish Watching in Huagang-Leifeng Tower
Tips:
You can walk, take a cruise, take a battery car, drive or ride the West Lake. Among them, the battery car is the most convenient and labor-saving, because the West Lake is too big, and the battery car stops at the wave, and the line just goes around the West Lake (11 yuan/interval, 41 yuan/whole journey).
Broken Bridge Residual Snow
It is said that after the winter snow, the snow and ice on the positive side of the West Lake bridge have melted, but the negative side is still covered with white snow. From a distance, the bridge seems to be half broken and looming on the lake, so it is called "Broken Bridge Residual Snow". In the folk story "The Legend of the White Snake", the love story between Xu Xian and the White Snake also happened here, which also added a lot of romantic atmosphere to this long bridge.

Autumn Moon in Pinghu
West Lake in Hangzhou has always been the best place to enjoy the moon. At the western end of Bai Causeway, there is a long and narrow garden, which is the autumn moon in Pinghu, one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. Whenever the air is crisp in clear autumn, the lake surface of the West Lake is as calm as a mirror, the bright autumn moon is in the sky, and the moonlight and the lake water complement each other, which is quite a sense of "one color of lake is full of autumn", so it is named "Autumn Moon in Pinghu". Pinghu is facing the water on the third day of the autumn moon, so find a bench to sit here and look at the lake and mountains, and feel peaceful inside. < P > It is really a beautiful scenery.
Picture: Autumn Moon in Pinghu
Bai Causeway
The original name of Bai Causeway is Baishadi, and Bai Juyi's famous phrase "I love the lack of eastbound lake, and Baishadi in the shade of green poplar" is here. Bai Causeway is broad and bright, with weeping willows in the inner layer and peach blossoms in the outer layer. Every March and April, the willow branches on the trees dance in the wind and are reflected on the lake, just like a gentle and shy woman standing by the lake, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is difficult to record the beauty of Bai Causeway with a camera, so you can only stroll here and savor it.

Su Causeway
Su Causeway was built by dredging the West Lake when the poet Su Shi (Su Dongpo) was the governor of Hangzhou in the fifth year of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later generations named it "Su Causeway" to commemorate Su Dongpo's achievements in managing the West Lake. Today's Su Causeway is called "Su Causeway Chunxiao" because of its charming spring scenery, and it has become the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. There are beautiful scenery on both sides of Su Causeway. Every spring and March, smoke turns into smoke. The waves lying on the long embankment connect the southern and northern mountains, adding a charming landscape to the West Lake.

Flower Harbor Fish Watching
Flower Harbor Fish Watching is a scenic spot featuring flowers, harbor and fish. Because of the tranquil scenery, the tourists' gathering is called "Flower Harbor Watching Fish". The whole park is divided into five scenic spots: Red Fish Pond, Peony Garden, Huagang, Big Lawn and Dense Forest. The most famous in the garden is the red carp in groups in the fish pond. In the afternoon, standing in the garden, I bought a bag of fish food to feed the passing fish, and watched their wanton and cheerful figures, and the whole person became comfortable.
Leifeng Pagoda
Leifeng Pagoda was originally built by King Wu Yue to pray for the peace of the country and the people. During Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese besieged Hangzhou City and set fire to Leifeng Pagoda, leaving only the pagoda. In the early Qing Dynasty, the Leifeng Pagoda was well known for its moving story in The Legend of the White Snake. In 2112, a new Leifeng Pagoda was built on the old site. Today, the Leifeng Pagoda is opposite to the Baota Pagoda, and it has become one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake with its magnificent sunset scenery. Standing at the top of the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the West Lake.
