The bluestone road in my memory, the misty rain in my memory, the morning after the rain in my memory and the pure land in my memory all make me have too much yearning, too much preference and too much persistence for the ancient town.

wuzhen, Xitang, nanxun, zhouzhuang, Tongli and _ zhi are connected in series with the feelings of the ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze river, with white walls and gray tiles raining like smoke, and the ancient stone bridge is half-curved. I prefer the quiet in the town in the early morning. To be precise, I love the early morning in every ancient town.

The sunshine is just right, the temperature is just right, and the mood is just right, so let's go to Xitang for a leisure weekend. If you say go, then let's go on the road.

Travel articles: It is comfortable to change the bullet train to the minibus

The journey time from hangzhou east railway station to Jiashan South varies from 3 to 6 minutes. According to the train time

, the bullet train/bullet train is a good choice, which is more comfortable than the car. Of course, if you choose the car, you will not need to transfer in the middle and go straight to Xitang. Arrive at Jiashan South Station at about 2: 3 pm. The station is very small. Go downstairs and arrive at the exit. There are minibuses and buses going to Xitang. There is a bus transfer station on the right hand side of the exit.

The nearest high-speed railway station

bus to Xitang is 2 yuan, and the green minibus is 8 yuan. As far as the comfort of the journey is concerned, it is strongly recommended to take the green minibus. The journey is about 2 kilometers, about 35 minutes, with one person and one person. The departure interval is fast, so I don't have to wait too long. Anyway, I will leave as soon as I get on the bus. Equipped with cash, you can't swipe your card, you can't pay Alipay

⊙_⊙ There is a long bus line, which takes about an hour.

When you arrive at the parking lot of the scenic spot, it is exactly the No.1 parking lot. All the high-speed trains go out by car from this parking lot, so be sure to remember it when you return. Because there is a third parking lot, even if you go wrong, it doesn't matter. There is a free shuttle bus in the third parking lot, and those who have sold tickets can take it by swiping their ID cards. The driver drives a convertible multi-person electric car and pretends to take a ride at the seaside all the way ~

Accommodation: There are too many homestays, so you can stay in whichever one you like.

This trip comes from my boredom. I visited the donkey mother during lunch break and placed an order. I stayed at Xitang C Tribe Theme Inn, which is very close to the third parking lot. The innkeeper drove a very coquettish red BMW to pick it up in the first parking lot. Because it was a reserved package, the boss helped us to exchange electronic tickets (any place that checked tickets later used ID cards) and happily entered the ancient town.

Say two nagging words:

1. Some people say that there is no need to waste money on tickets, and Xitang will not check in after dusk until 8 o'clock the next day. The reason why I choose to buy tickets is nothing more than that. I feel that the price is right and I don't have to worry about the attractions I am interested in. Tickets are bought together with accommodation, so it is a ticket for 55 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective. Of course, out of my love for museums, I have to buy tickets to feel good about local characteristics and history. Entering the scenic spot in the afternoon, tickets can be used for two days and entered and exited three times.

I like the small courtyard and mini bridge in the house very much. I feel unsatisfied when I walk on it several times. The bridge is just like the one in Lilliput. I stand on the steps, and I feel like a giant. Haha.

2. From the psychological level, many people will comfort themselves that this scene is not good-looking, and it is similar and there is no need to spend money. I don't deny that I used to have this mentality, and I felt that walking on the stone road was even a stroll. But if you really want to integrate into the local area, these scenic spots, museums and exhibition halls are the most intuitive displays.

seriously, talk about homestay.

compared with the unified standard of wuzhen, the homestays in Xitang are rather messy, and all kinds of inns are hidden in all kinds of small alleys. Each family has its own characteristics, such as living with pillow water and a small courtyard. The theme room in the

package was not very satisfactory, so 1 yuan was added and I changed to a room that I liked at first sight.

the ticket plus accommodation costs 345 yuan.

Making tea and chatting is pleasant

Shower room with large nozzles is cool ~

Never changing my love for French windows

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xitang is actually eating

At 4 o'clock, the sun is not so sunny, so I am ready to go out and feel the smell of the ancient town and feed. Before I came, I swept through some food strategies and got a general idea of what to eat in Xitang.

Xitang Lushi small wonton

There are many Lushi small wonton in Xitang. I don't know which one is authentic. I found a restaurant and ordered a bowl of 1 yuan. It is said that the price has increased. Small wonton is very transparent, so many people call it transparent wonton. Its taste is very similar to the wonton in Shaxian snack (authentic Shaxian local), and it is also crystal clear, with minced meat stuffing and Q-bomb. The store also sells Nanxiang steamed buns and soup packets.

Little Wonton

Despite the old lady's stinky tofu, she bought one near the misty rain promenade, and chatted with the old lady who fried stinky tofu for a while. She told me in Putonghua with Xitang dialect that she had been selling stinky tofu since she was in her fifties, and now she is 75 ~

She warmly gave me two pieces. 8 yuan or 1 yuan, I forgot, the price of scenic spots is nothing more than 5 yuan, 8 yuan and 1 yuan. It doesn't smell bad, but it smells good and tastes bad, haha.

stinky tofu

Tofu pudding is also everywhere. Not far away, I saw the legendary Guan Laotai stinky tofu head office. I went in and ate a bowl of bean curd with rave reviews and a bowl of 5 yuan. Tofu pudding tastes really good and tender, but it's really salty as mentioned in the raiders, probably with shrimp and mustard tuber, which is more salty.

Salted bean curd

Xitang medicated diet crisp, when snacks can't stop at all, 2 yuan has a box, and it is also made by an old man, so he supports one.

Grandma's chicken feet, at first worried about not finding them, turned a corner (probably next to a bar called Our Story) and smelled a pot-stewed smell ~

1 yuan served four chicken feet, duck gizzards served two in 1 yuan, and duck necks. I have eaten chicken feet from corners in Suzhou, and I can't extricate myself. I have to relieve my craving when I come to Xitang. I really have two brushes, which are delicious and taste very waxy. I went to lick a bag the next day. I just can't help eating delicious chicken feet. I heard the boss say that it can be delivered by express, and many people asked her to order on WeChat.

First chicken feet

Steamed pork with old horse flour, one with 8 yuan. It's really a lot of flour, not much meat, wrapped in lotus leaves, and the taste is not much worse. It's really too much flour! I still love Jiaxing meat dumplings more!

There are many stalls selling steamed pork with rice flour, and this one is quite famous.

Steamed pork with rice flour

Tie meat, barbecue, stir-fry with sauce, and add a shepherd's purse bun (wrapped in Zen clothes), which is absolutely standard for supper. Come to me with beer, if you are not fat, haha! There are many snack shops, and basically after dinner, there are many hawkers. Some recommended restaurants

Zharou

Zharou, click on the order, one is about 15, which is a bit stuffy, love meat, bear with it!

Sauce-exploded screws

Sauce-exploded screws are all over the street. Some specials are 1 yuan, and the basic price is in 5 yuan. Of course, there are also 3 yuan.

1 yuan just needs to order two regular dishes to enjoy. The taste ~ it's not very special, it's served with wine ~ people who don't usually eat big screws just go to Xitang to meet the scenery.

Zen clothes are wrapped in yuan

There are many famous restaurants in Xitang, which are full of tourists, such as seeing children off to the Moon Building, Yulouchun, etc. Anyway, there are many people and the prices are normal. If you are interested, you can have a try. I went directly to a roadside shop.

I haven't tasted the malt cake, but I have seen several bad looks, and I am worried about sticking my teeth. Briefly, malt cake is a special seasonal snack in Xitang. Is prepared from glutinous rice flour, black sesame seeds, red beans, walnut kernels, white sugar, and Chinese herbal medicines of Foeniculum japonicum and malt.

malt cake

Xitang has many characteristics. I brought home a jar of hand-chopped peppers, 15 for each jar. I especially like this kind of hand-made, although it is more expensive than that in the supermarket. Gordon Euryale cake, I happened to buy a copy of 5 yuan after walking outside the scenic spot in the morning. The scenic spots are basically 8 yuan and 1 yuan.

A small alley with green slate and a stroll around Xitang

There are 11 scenic spots in Xitang, large and small, so tell me some interesting places.

Shipinong is a lane formed between the two mansions of the Wangs, and the ground is paved with 216 stone slabs. The total length is 68 meters, and the narrowest part is only .8 meters. This long stone alley is the longest alley in Xitang.

Shipinong

Burning Hong Kong is named after the river. The river from Lujiaqiao to Five Blessingg Bridge is called Burning Hong Kong, and the streets on the north and south banks of Hong Kong are thus called Burning Hong Kong South Street, collectively known as Burning Hong Kong Street. Burning Hong Kong is the earliest prosperous center in the ancient town of xitang. The word "Hong Kong" burning Hong Kong has two meanings: one is the street, and the other is the river port. A long time ago, it was a place where the rich lived.

It is said that the buildings in Hong Kong have a remarkable feature: the threshold here is particularly high, more than a foot, made of whole stone. I didn't even notice this, but it's a pity ~

Wolong Bridge is a famous stone bridge in Xitang. It turned out to be a wooden bridge, which was in disrepair and dilapidated. One day, a bamboo craftsman named Zhu lived by the bridge and saw a pregnant woman fall into the water and die. She wanted to rebuild it, but she had no money. He cut his hair and became a monk with a wide name. He ran for alms for ten years, accumulated 3,2 pieces of silver, and started construction. By the time the silver was used up, there was still a lack of stone, but the monk died of a bitter illness at the age of ten. The project will stop because of the lack of bridge deck. At this time, two immortals came to Xitang, and heard that Xitang dried bean curd was very famous and praised. While intoxicated, a piece of dried bean curd fell and landed on the unfinished Wolong Bridge, forming a bridge deck.

Wolong Bridge

There are more than twenty bridges in Xitang, large and small, which run through the two banks of the river.

Songzi Laifeng Bridge, built in 1637 (the tenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty), is a three-hole stone slab bridge. Legend has it that when it was built, a bird flew in, and the bridge builder thought it was auspicious, so it was named "Songzi Laifeng Bridge", which was rebuilt in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty and the fifteenth year of Daoguang.

Send a son to the Phoenix Bridge

How to walk across the bridge is still a little particular. The ancients paid attention to the study of Yin and Yang, and Nanyang was cloudy in the north. In ancient times, men were Yang and women were Yin. On the south side of the bridge is a staircase, and on the north side is a slope.

The misty rain corridor, the so-called rain corridor, is actually a street with a roof. It is a unique building in Jiangnan water town and a unique landscape in the ancient town.

The Button Museum is my favorite. There are all kinds of buttons. God, I still like the buttons of the ancients.

Of course, there are a series of scenic spots in Xitang, such as the West Garden and the Drunk Garden. It's good to stay for one night and visit in the evening and morning when there are not many tourists. The scenic spots open at about 8: 3.

There are three museums open until the evening, so you can just ask at any ticket gate.

Night in Xitang

After dark, Xitang became restless. This is much more noisy than Wuzhen. The night in Xitang is a paradise for bars. But as far as the characteristics of the bar are concerned, it's chaotic! The quiet bar next to the inn is much more comfortable ~

In Xitang, it's like coming to Chengdu, and all the bars are singing Chengdu! It makes me want to take a walk on the streets of Chengdu ~
