I ordered noodles with bone soup, which was full of ingredients and tasted good. My friend ordered mixed Sichuan (with a bowl of seaweed soup) and soy milk, indicating that mixed Sichuan was not as delicious as the "old noodle restaurant" that I often went to eat, but I didn't finish it (there were too many stalls).

Tips:
I saw another one across the street.
Xiaohezhi Street
is located at the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Xiaohe River and Yuhangtang River. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been an important hub for river and land transportation, boatmen's rest and material distribution, and it developed and flourished in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At present, the block still retains historical relics such as workshops, shops and river ports. The small buildings on both sides of the street live in pillow water, with white walls and tiles, which are very characteristic of modern Jiangnan water towns. The neighborhood has retained more than half of the aborigines, effectively continuing the traditional folk customs and lifestyle of the canal houses, and is known as the "last canal family" in Hangzhou.
On both sides of the street are old houses inhabited by people, some of which have been transformed into places for small businesses, such as coffee, bars, mahjong parlors, handicraft shops and guzheng training courses.
Fang Zengchang Sauce Garden
There is also a sauce garden with a sense of the times-Fang Zengchang Sauce Garden, with a little green and mottled walls, old rickshaws at the door and big sauce on the wall.
Xiaohezhi Street
Yaozhai
In the 194s, a two-story brick-wood residential building represented the transformation from traditional residential building to modern urban residential building.
Xiaohezhi Street
is located at the end of Xiaohezhi Street on the east side. Now, antique signs are hung, and there are several benches and round tables at the door. Old people will play chess, chat and have tea here, which is a very pleasant life.
Xiaohezhi Street
Go on, and you will arrive at Qiaoxizhi Street, where there are several restaurants. After Yunshuiyao and Xintengfei (there are actually two shops in the small alley) walk along the river, you will come to the place where the three rivers (Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Xiaohe and Yuhangtang River) meet.
Xiaohezhi Street
You can continue to swim up along the canal bank for a while. You can still see busy cargo ships, several sculptures and old cranes next to it, trying to restore the busy shipping scene of the canal pier.

The exhibition hall on the second floor introduces the history of swords, their connection with our lives, the casting technology of swords, and the art and culture of swords in the world.

China Knife and Sword Museum
After reading it, I went down to the first floor and started the introduction of scissors. The exhibition restored the original appearance of scissors shops or streets such as Wang Mazi and Zhang Xiaoquan at that time, and there was a feeling of crossing into that era. Most of the scissors are donated by Zhang Xiaoquan company, which has the feeling of being exclusively sponsored by Zhang Xiaoquan. After all, it is an old-fashioned enterprise in this industry. Through the development history of this enterprise, people can also learn about the changes and development of the whole industry.

Zhang Xiaoquan Scissors
Zhang Xiaoquan Scissors originated in Hangzhou during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Zhang's father and son changed the routine of forging scissors with pig iron, and chose Zhejiang Longquan, Yunhe and the first generation of good steel embedded in hot iron, and made the cutting edge of scissors after a lot of tempering; Then the extremely fine mud bricks from Zhenjiang specialty are carefully ground to make the scissors shine brightly. Zhang Xiaoquan saw that it was famous for its exquisite material selection, uniform steel inlay, fine grinding, unusual sharpness, exquisite style and durability, and it was listed as a tribute during the Qianlong period. The civil scissors of "Zhang Xiaoquan's Recent Records" won the No.68 Award from the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of Beiyang Government, the second prize in the domestic product exhibition, the second prize in the first section of Nanyang Advocacy Association in 191, and the fourth prize in the Panama World Expo in 1915, and were well-known at home and abroad.

China Umbrella Museum
China Umbrella Museum
Walking through the dark corridor decorated with red umbrellas at the door makes people feel like they are entering another world at once. The exhibition hall introduces the history and production of oil-paper umbrella, oil-cloth umbrella and silk umbrella in Xihu Lake, and introduces many umbrella cultures in China, such as rank and honor, love and marriage, celebration and prayer, etc. Finally, it introduces the development and introduction of umbrellas in various countries.

Tips:
China Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum, China Knife and Sword Museum and China Umbrella Museum, which are together and can be almost seamlessly connected, are open from Tuesday to Sunday
from 9: to 16: 3 (entry is closed at 16: ).
Three Books of Nanpai
After coming out of the Umbrella Museum, they were ready to leave for the Fan Museum, so they followed the guide and walked along Xizhi Street near the canal to the Fan Museum. Some houses along Qiaoxi Street were being renovated, which seemed to make it look like the next small river street. Nanpai Sanshu, a small bookstore opened by Nanpai Sanshu, is here. It is said that many tomb raiders will come here to punch in their cards. I thought there would be a lot of tomb raiding themes in it, but there seems to be no special arrangement with other bookstores, except that there is a shelf full of three uncle's books.

Wen CuO Tang
Wen CuO Tang
A few steps ahead, there is a Wen CuO Tang on the left, so I went in to have a look at it. It turned out to be the Wenchuang store opened by the old Happy Teahouse in an alley not far away. We made some new attempts, including making cakes by hand, offering guqin lessons and so on. I hope it can be made better and better.
Old Happy Teahouse
We found the old Happy Teahouse hidden in the alley according to the description of Miss Wenchengtang. It seems that this teahouse is led by China first-class actor Zhou Zhihua. The layout of the old stage is still preserved here, and there will be folk art performances on weekends.
Old Happy Teahouse
Small Heat Faint
Small Heat Faint is a kind of banter form of traditional folk art widely popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, also known as "Xiao Gong Shu", commonly known as "selling pear paste candy". It is a Wu-language rap art, which adopts Hangzhou dialect, has humorous tunes, is good at arranging stories from real life, and is deeply loved by people in Hangzhou. It began in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty and prevailed in 192s and 193s.
Rejuvenation Hall
Rejuvenation Hall
There are several yiguang on this side of Qiaoxizhi Street, and at the end is the famous party Rejuvenation Hall. When my friend heard that the formula of sour plum soup in it seemed good, he went in and wanted to buy some to take home and cook it himself. When he entered the store, he found that the original raw materials, such as ebony and hawthorn, would be given to you here, and then the specific proportion would be determined by yourself. So the little friend thought about it and gave up. There is also a kind of sour plum paste in the store, which can be melted after being prepared. The clerk also recommended it as more convenient, but I still didn't buy it, mainly because it has a long shelf life and is afraid of preservatives or something. If you are interested in making sour plum juice with different flavors, you can come here to buy some raw materials and try to make your own summer special drink!

handicraft living museum
China Fan Museum is just a few steps around the corner, and it was found that the decoration was closed, so we went to the handicraft living museum next door, which felt like a handicraft experience museum with more exquisite decoration than the Arts and Crafts Museum, and it was still quite large. We could also receive teams to experience handicraft production, which seemed to be a good choice for group construction.

Liking dolphins
Liking dolphins
I wanted to find a local restaurant with characteristics nearby, but later I found that it seemed to be quite far away and I was tired after walking, so I ate Liking dolphins next door.
Gongchen Bridge
Gongchen Bridge
After eating and having a rest, we continued to step on the spot. On the left side of the dolphin, Gongchen Bridge is located. There are four "Baā xià" under the bridge to protect the bridge from the collision of ships.
Gongchen Bridge
Gongchen Bridge
Gongchen Bridge was built in the fourth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1631). "Chen" refers to the place where the emperor lived, and "Arch" means to greet him hand in hand, so Gongchen Bridge symbolizes the greeting and respect for the ancient emperor when he visited Hangzhou in the south. Gongchen Bridge spans the east and west banks of the canal. The bridge is towering and magnificent. The bridge is about 92 meters long and 16 meters high. It is the tallest and longest stone arch bridge among the ancient bridges in Hang Cheng, and also the southernmost symbol of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

After crossing Gongchen Bridge, you will reach the Canal Culture Square, where stands the memorial archway of Lize Qianqiu. The Gongshu District Government echoes the Grand Canal Museum in China from a distance, which shows that the government attaches great importance to canal protection and cultural excavation.
China Grand Canal Museum
The opening time is the same as other museums, and it is closed on Mondays, and it is closed at 9:-16:3 and 16: on other days and holidays.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum is divided into four exhibition halls, which respectively describe the excavation and changes, the utilization of the Grand Canal, the special exhibition of Zhejiang section and the culture of the Grand Canal. For those who want to know about the Grand Canal, this is definitely a place that cannot be missed.
China Jinghang Grand Canal Museum
The Grand Canal is located in the central and eastern part of China, passing through eight provincial-level administrative regions including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and connecting five major water systems: Huanhe, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River. The excavation of China's Grand Canal began in the 5th century BC, the first full-line connection was completed in the 7th century, and the second communication was completed in the 13th century. After more than 2, years of continuous development and evolution, it still plays an important role in transportation and water conservancy today.
The Grand Canal in China is the only huge engineering system in the world, which is dug and managed by the state to ensure the safety of grain transportation ("water transportation"), so as to stabilize the political power and maintain the unification of the empire.
It is an important measure to solve the imbalance of social and natural resources between the north and the south of China, showing the long historical stage of the development of artificial canals in the agricultural civilization period with a rare time and space scale, and representing the outstanding achievements of water conservancy and waterway engineering before the industrial revolution.
it has realized the large-span allocation of resources and products between the north and the south within the vast territory, communicated the political center and economic center of the country, promoted economic and cultural exchanges between different regions, and played an irreplaceable role in national unity, political stability, economic prosperity, cultural exchanges and scientific and technological development.
The Grand Canal in China has become the cradle of civilization because of its vast space-time span, great achievements and far-reaching influence, which has had a great and far-reaching influence on China and even the world history.

Ronghua Tea Garden Site
Ronghua Tea Garden
Ronghua Tea Garden was founded in the 2th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1894). In 1925, it was changed to the Ronghua Grand Theater, which also showed movies, becoming the first movie road in Hangzhou. In 1949, it was renamed the Guoyi Theater. In 1952, it was rebuilt on the original site and renamed as the Popular Cinema. In 25, the former site of the park was selected by Canal Square. In the late Qing Dynasty, the earliest theater in Hang Cheng appeared in Gongchenqiao area. Because the theater sold tea, it was called "tea garden". Tianxian, Ronghua and yangchun city, the three famous tea gardens in Hang Cheng in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the theaters on both sides of the Gongchen Bridge section of the Canal became the birthplace of Hangzhou film history and the development and prosperity of drama and quyi. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (198), Yangchun Tea Garden showed the first film of Hangzhou. Zhou Xinfang, a Chinese Peking Opera performer and founder of Qi School, once performed in Tianxian Tea Garden under the stage name of a seven-year-old boy. At the age of 14, Zhang Yingjie performed in Tianxian Tea Garden under the stage name "Gai Jiaotian".

Silk Link 166
Silk Link 166
Ride a small bike along the road (it really changes the city trip by bike), and it takes about 1 minutes to get there. It has always been said on the Internet that this is Hangzhou 798. I liked the atmosphere of 798 when I was in Beijing before, and there were many exhibitions in it, so I always had great expectations for this 166. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This is not the so-called 798. It's just a factory building, which has been remodeled. Some wedding, Taobao and photography art companies have rented this place as office space. There is really nothing to see, so they turned it out.
Here, I strongly and strongly recommend that guests visiting Hangzhou waste their precious travel time here!
Jiangshu Railway Park Ruins
Jiangshu Railway Park Ruins
After coming out of the east gate of Silian 166, cross a road and you can reach Jiangshu Railway Park Ruins. At the back of Jiangshu Railway Exhibition Hall, there is a section of railway track and an old-fashioned train nose for people to visit. I went a little late and missed it. The opening time is 9: -11: 45
14: -16: 3, and it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and at special times.
Jiangshu Railway Park Site
Jiangshu Railway Park Site
In fact, the historical Jiangshu Railway was demolished by the Japanese invaders in 1944 and changed into Shaoxing Road. This ruins park was rebuilt by the government to reproduce this historical fragment. The park area is very small, and basically it can be seen at a glance. If you are not nearby or have a special complex about the railway, it is not recommended to come here specially.
Peach Coffee
So far, we have basically finished shopping today. We are going to find a place to sit and have a rest. So, I went to a nearby online celebrity store, Peach Coffee.

as for the food in it, maybe we didn't order the essence, but it was just so-so, and there was no coffee.
