Guide to free travel in Zhenjiang
Zhenjiang Museum
Yangzhou and Maoshan pass through here in front of Zhenjiang Museum. There is a shuttle bus to Xijindu at the entrance of the railway station, and my hotel is also chosen in Xijindu Scenic Area.
After resting in the hotel, I went to Zhenjiang Museum, which is in Xijindu Scenic Area. These exhibits are of low value.
After visiting the museum, it's almost five o'clock, so I can have dinner. Public comment, there was an eight-point evaluation nearby, so I went. Then, I ate an online celebrity shop for no reason. At eight o'clock, we began to take numbers. The clerk told us that we could eat at 6: 30, so we first went to the riverside park opposite Xijindu to blow the river wind.
Baxiaofang gourmet
Arriving at the door at 8: 30 at 6: 30, many people are already waiting, and the number has not been sent yet. Only those who have taken the number before are eligible to wait for this position. Inexplicable sense of superiority, full of expectations for the dishes, but in the end I think it's ok.
Zhenjiang Yaorou, one of the "three eccentrics", has a poem praising: "The scenery is infinitely golden, and I prefer Jingkou meat, not greasy and crispy, and the crystal dishes are tender and frozen." Eight-point-full Yaorou tastes good, and the skin freezes and melts in the mouth. Adding Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar solves the greasy taste of the meat.
Xijindukou
I slept until I woke up naturally the next day. After breakfast, I went to Xijindu. Xijindu used to be a ferry, but now it is a curb. It used to be a pier directly, so you could take a boat. The scenic spot retains the Zhaoguan stone pagoda in the Yuan Dynasty and the life-saving meeting in the Qing Dynasty. However, it happened in the morning and there were many tourists, so I took some photos and prepared lunch.
pot noodles
The three monsters in Zhenjiang ate all the balsamic vinegar and meat, and of course they should try the pot cover noodles. This is our lunch. Pot cover noodle is to put a pot cover in it when cooking noodles. It is said that this can control the boiling point, although I think it is unscientific. However, it is also the information on the lid. I actually found out that the so-called Zhenjiang Three Monsters were actually lies of the Tourism Bureau 40 years ago ... The old three were "cauldrons with small covers, pants crossing streets and alleys, toilets propping up to dry". The new three monsters are "the noodle pot is cooked, the meat is not cooked well, and the balsamic vinegar is not bad." Guess these three old monsters are actually some old habits in Zhenjiang.
Jiao Shan
After eating and drinking, I went to Jiao Shan, took a bus at the gate of the scenic spot, and dozed off to Jiao Shan. Of the three mountains in Zhenjiang, Jiao Shan is the most worth visiting. Because of the beautiful natural scenery, it is quite sentimental to take a ferry to the island in the middle of the lake at the entrance of the scenic spot.
Jinshan Hill
Jinshan is also within walking distance, at this time, the hotel's geographical advantages are once again reflected. Jinshan is the most famous scenic spot in Zhenjiang, but personally, it is not as fun as Jiao Shan, and the scenery is average, mainly Jinshan Temple surrounded by human blessings and mountains. I suggest going to see the Love Culture Park of the Legend of White Snake, which is quite funny.
