A good place to visit the sea on a budget around Suzhou

Zhoushan Gouqi Island

Dog Island, a small island that is very close to you but still blue, thanks to the transportation here Despite the inconvenience, it still retains the last touch of blue near the city. Located to the east of Shengsi Islands, it has clear sea water, blue sky and blue waves, and the water and sky are connected.

As the hometown of mussels, in addition to rich delicacies, you can also see mussel farming here all year round. The white floating objects of mussels shimmer with silver light under the sunlight, and the fishing boats shuttle in the blue waves, forming a beautiful picture of the sea pasture.

When you set foot on Gouqi Island, time seems to slow down. Go to Dawang Beach to step on the sand and watch the sea; appreciate Xiao Xin's sunrise and sunset; sit quietly among the wonders of the mountains and sea, listen to the sound of the waves and enjoy the scenery; or go to a fisherman's house and eat delicious seafood until your stomach is full. It is a worthwhile trip to Gouqi Island.

Ningbo Hua'ao Island

Hua'ao Island is located on the ocean surface of Sanmen Bay at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain in Ningbo, close to Taizhou. Because of the many flowers, it is named Hua'ao Island. The island has lush mountains and charming scenery. There are 36 holes and 108 holes with beautiful scenery and fairy caves. The salty sea breeze blends with the fragrance of the island's flowers. This spring is so beautiful.

In addition to admiring flowers, you can also enjoy the beautiful stone forest on the sea, the historic Big Buddha Mountain, climb to the top of the mountain, and watch the stunning windmills up close on Hua'ao Island. Walk in the forest and feel the fresh nature brought by the thousand-year-old camphor trees; or stand alone under the sunset, overlooking the boundless sea, and have a panoramic view of the beautiful sunset.

When you come to this "fairy country of sea and mountains, Yingzhou City on earth", of course you have to eat the most authentic seafood. Gaoyi Fishing Port Pier faces Hua'ao Island across the sea, where many large and small fishing boats are moored. Every "fisherman's delight" has to buy fresh fish from the fishing boat several times a day, so the source seafood cannot be eaten elsewhere.

Zhoushan Flower and Bird Island

In the northernmost part of Zhejiang, there is a small island with water hanging on it. Every spring, flowers bloom everywhere and birds flock in droves. Compared with the reputation of other tourist islands in Shengsi, Flower and Bird Island seems to be a paradise, with blue coastline, rich fishery products, simple and peaceful fishing villages, and has always been a tourist attraction for domestic ethnic minority islands.

The seawater around Flower and Bird Island is light blue-green. If you are lucky, you can witness the "fluorescent sea" at night. There are two or three clean small beaches on the island, where you can play in the sand. There are many strange rocks and ancient stone houses on the island, which add mystery and original tranquility to the island.

: Good places for a budget trip in Suzhou

1. Shantang Street

As the saying goes, "There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, West Lake in Hangzhou, and Shantang in Suzhou." "How can you not visit Shantang when you come to Suzhou? Shantang Street is a famous street with endless historical stories. Speaking of Shantang Street, many people may know that it is a 3,600-meter-long street from the Changmen of the ancient city of Suzhou to the Tiger Hill Scenic Area in Suzhou.

But few people know its past life, and perhaps no one has thought that it was a 7-mile mountain pond river built to dredge the river when the poet Bai Juyi was the governor of Gusu. In ancient times, rivers were not only rivers, but also "traffic fortresses". In ancient times when the population was sparse, it was more convenient and safer to travel by water than by land.

As a transportation fortress, Shantang River soon became a gathering place for merchants. With the development of economy, Shantang Street has gradually become the most prosperous street in Suzhou. Celebrities such as Kangxi, Qianlong, and Tang Bohu have all been here. This is the first- and second-class place of wealth and romance in Cao Xueqin's "A Dream of Red Mansions".

2._Zhigu Town

Suzhou is a typical representative of the Jiangnan water town. How can you miss the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River when you come to Suzhou? _Zhi Ancient Town is not only the oldest among the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the one with the most "ancient bridges". Maybe it's me

_Zhi Ancient Town is an ancient town that is free to the outside world. Rather than saying it is a tourist attraction, it is an ancient town that exudes the atmosphere of fireworks. The ancient town has not been over-developed and most of it is original. Wandering in this thousand-year-old ancient town, we can wander around at will and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the ancient town.

3. Lingyan Mountain

Suzhou is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River with few famous mountains. The classic ones include Tianping Mountain, Huqiu Mountain, Dongshan Mountain, Xishan Mountain, Qionglong Mountain and Yushan Mountain. However, Lingyan Mountain in Mudu Ancient Town is probably suitable for budget travel. Lingyan Mountain is not very high. Starting from Mudu Ancient Town, even if you eat, drink and have fun all the way, two or three hours is enough to reach the top of the mountain.

Although this mountain is not high, it is famous for its "Western Stone". Shi, who was favored by King Wu in history, once lived in Lingyan Mountain. King Wu spent a lot of money to build a luxurious palace "Guanwa Palace" for her, which is now "Lingyan Temple". Some relics from that time can still be seen. This Lingyan Mountain once attracted many scholars and writers. Emperor Qianlong of Jiangnan climbed this mountain six times.

Lingyan Mountain does not charge entrance fees, but Lingyan Mountain Temple does. Lingyan Mountain Temple has only charged "1" yuan for many years, so it was rated as the "most conscientious" scenic spot. Generally, tourists like to go to the free Mudu Ancient Town before visiting Lingyan Mountain, then climb the mountain to the Lingyan Mountain Temple to eat a bowl of affordable noodles, and then go to the "Bailing Line". It’s a long way from Lingyan Mountain to Baimajian or Tianping Mountain.

Those unfamiliar with the terrain will have to walk most of the day, and there are no restaurants or shops along the way. Fortunately, they were able to encounter simple things like selling water, boiled eggs, rice rolls, cold noodles, etc. along the way.
