With the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation, students who are crazy at home have begun to plan their own trips, and I am no exception. Under the current situation, self-driving can be said to be the most suitable way to travel.
I heard that the scenery around Taihu Lake is beautiful, and there are many routes that are very suitable for self-driving and have high value, so I decided to plan my trip along Taihu Lake, and then I picked up the car in Shanghai and set off!
The car this time is a 2121 Ford Sharp ST-Line, and the first reaction when you get the car is empty! Between! Super! Level! Big!
3 rows and 7 seats, all seats can be adjusted back and forth, and the back of the chair can be adjusted. Among them, the second and third rows can be completely laid down, and it is no problem for three adults to lie flat in the laid-down space, and it is not a problem to put luggage or anything.
The second row of seats also has an electric one-button reclining function, which can be reclined at the same time or on the left and right sides respectively, so that even if something is put on one of the seats, it is convenient.
get ready to stop and go straight to the first destination-Hangzhou.
From Shanghai to Hangzhou, we mainly take the G61 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway. This road is very busy, and even there are some traffic jams in some sections, so we just tried the driving assistance function of the car. Generally, the lowest speed that can be set by the constant speed cruise function is about 61km/h, which can't be used when driving slowly or in traffic jam. This Ford Sharp has ACC full-speed automatic car following function, which can be supported from 1-181 km/h. After setting the distance and speed, you can keep stepping on the accelerator brake, which is quite user-friendly. In addition, after the car comes to a complete stop, the car will not move forward without stepping on the accelerator. This design is also very scientific and safe.
There are countless ancient poems praising Hangzhou and West Lake. Whether it's Su Shi's "To compare the West Lake with the West Lake, it's always appropriate to put on light makeup and heavy makeup" or Yang Wanli's "The lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are different in color in the sun", I have infinite reverie here. When I first came to Hangzhou, I had to take a trip to the West Lake, appreciate the settled place of Xu Xian Bai Niangzi, and then pay a visit to Comrade Fahai's weapon, the Leifeng Pagoda. When I arrived at the West Lake, I discovered that the West Lake is not only a lake, but also a very large scenic spot. On the way, I saw an intersection near the scenic spot that seemed to allow me to get into the car, so I tried to drive in. Unexpectedly, I stumbled into a small village in the mountains that smelled of tea.
In fact, the West Lake Scenic Area is very large, and only the other side of the lake can be walked. To the west of the whole scenic spot is a mountain, which is almost full of tea and dotted with several small mountain villages. West Lake Longjing is so famous that you must taste it when you arrive at the country of origin!
Almost every family in Shanzhong Village can enjoy tea, and the price ranges from 11 yuan to 21 yuan. As soon as the tea is served, you can smell a faint fragrance. The tea of origin is really unusual! (pretending to know a lot about Yazi)
According to the owner of the tea house, the most authentic place of Longjing is four villages, namely Longjing Village, Manjuelong Village, Wengjiashan Village and Yangmeiling Village where I live. Every year around the Qingming Festival, a large number of tea lovers come here to drink tea and buy tea, and there are not only domestic guests, but also frequent visitors from abroad. If they can't come during the epidemic, let the boss find a way to send it, which is also very persistent.
Although I don't know much about tea, I can taste the tea here a little better. After drinking it, I decisively bought a few two to take home. After all, compared with buying it in a tea house in the city, it's not a penny cheaper!
In addition to the West Lake Longjing, the West Lake vinegar fish is also famous. After tasting Longjing, the next step is to eat fish. I found a restaurant with a good evaluation, and finally I ate the authentic West Lake vinegar fish, which was really fresh and delicious, sweet and sour. And unexpectedly, the amount of food here is quite amazing and the cost performance is super high.
after dinner, night falls and the lights are on. There are not so many tourists by the West Lake during the day, and the reflection of the distant city and the Leifeng Tower on the other side reflects on the quiet lake, adding a sense of tranquility.
When I asked my friends about the fun place in the postal area, I heard the word Moganshan the most. It is said that it is full of mountains and bamboos, and the mountain road with three turns and nine turns is dotted with it, which has the reputation of "the first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River".
For people who like to drive by car, the beautiful scenery and Panshan Road are simply irresistible temptations, so the next morning, I set off for Moganshan.
It is about 81 kilometers from Hangzhou to Moganshan. After passing Deqing County, the surrounding environment has changed from reinforced concrete in the city to quiet green mountains.
The life in the village in the mountains is indifferent and leisurely, even the dogs are in no hurry. I drove slowly on a country road, and it silently walked to the middle of the road and looked at me straight, so we looked at each other quietly ...
After 3 minutes, it ended this eye confrontation with my victory, and it silently walked away ...
After entering the mountain, it began to climb, just trying a Ford Sharp Sports Mode.
the knob shift is novel, and it can be done with a flick, and it feels smoother to use. When you press the middle S gear and start the sports mode, you obviously feel "energetic", with strong power and a sense of pushing back.
Moganshan is also a tea-producing area, so there are dense forests and patches of tea ridges here. Halfway through the mountain road, a whole bamboo forest appeared at the end of the tea field, with different forms and different greens seamlessly connected, which was beautiful.
As far as you can see, almost all of them are vibrant bamboos. No wonder it is called "Bamboo Sea".
when you drive into the bamboo forest, you immediately feel like you are going to become a martial arts expert. I have been at home for a long time, and what I look forward to most is to enjoy the fresh air in such nature. Open the large-size panoramic skylight in sharp world, and a fresh bamboo fragrance comes to your face.
with the fragrance of bamboo, there is a cold air. The temperature in the mountains is much lower, and it's rainy, so I don't feel like it's almost summer. I want to turn on the seat heating function ...
The rain in the mountains is intermittent, and the road surface is a little slippery. At this time, Ford Sharp's intelligent detachable four-wheel drive has played a powerful role.
In ordinary road conditions, Sharp uses the two-wheel drive mode. After this slippery or unpaved complex road surface, it can quickly and automatically switch to the four-wheel drive mode, saving fuel and being sensitive to various road conditions.
From Moganshan, I went all the way north along Taihu Lake and drove to Liyang. Compared with other cities, Liyang seems to be less famous, but there are many delicious foods here. According to local people, the most famous ones are Liyang's three blacks and three whites. The three blacks are zhagan, black rice and wild mushrooms, and the three whites are casserole fish head, white celery and white tea.
in the three black schools, I ordered Liyang zhagan and black rice. Black rice is a bit like black rice. White glutinous rice is salted in mashed black rice grass for one night and then steamed in a pot. It's a bit like dessert when you eat it with sugar.
Liyang Zhagan is not only one of the three evils, but also one of the three treasures in Liyang. Because in liyang dialect, "tie" and "zhe" are the same, "liver" and "official" are very similar, so tying liver also means promoting to a higher position and making a fortune, and it is an essential dish for Chinese New Year holidays. This pricking liver looks inconspicuous, but the process is very complicated. Each piece is a small intestine wrapped in tofu, pork belly and pork liver, and then braised in brown sauce, which tastes quite good.
Taihu Lake has three whites, and Liyang has its own three whites. Among them, the casserole fish head, especially the casserole silver carp head soup produced in Tianmu Lake in Liyang. The milky white fish soup is so fragrant that people can't stop drinking it.
What impressed me the most was this Liyang Baiqin. It's a bit like Artemisia selengensis, and it should all be water celery, but this celery tastes more intense. People who like it think it is fragrant, while people who don't like it think it has a strong smell of gasoline. Although this dish tastes strange, it has many functions, such as clearing blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and so on.
this place is rich in bamboo, and bamboo shoots are indispensable. I ordered one decisively, and it was delicious!
The reason why I chose Liyang as the third stop of my trip is not only because there are delicious foods here, but also because there are several rainbow highways with super-high value-Liyang No.1 Highway.
Although it is called Highway No.1, it is actually not just a road, but a road network that connects many scenic spots in Liyang in series.
In this rainbow highway, there are tree-lined paths, vast dams, winding country roads and wild dirt roads, all of which are beautiful.
There are red, yellow and blue lines in the middle of the road, which stand out among the green fields like ribbons.
Liyang No.1 highway has a total length of about 365km, which is divided into inner ring road, outer ring road, inner ring road and outer ring road, connecting more than 411 villages and more than 211 tourist attractions in series.
I take the outer ring connecting line on Chadong Street from Tianmuhu Avenue in the south of Liyang, and the entrance is marked with Liyang No.1 Highway, which is easy to find.
Go deep along the road, and you can drive to the side of Daxi Reservoir in the southwest of Liyang. The straight rainbow highway passes through the dam, with a calm lake on one side and a dense forest on the other, which has a magnificent shock.
I've been driving in the countryside all morning, but I've neglected the problem of eating. Fortunately, there are many snacks in the car, and there is a fork in the road. From the map, you can walk to the reservoir at the end. So I stepped on the gas pedal and drove on the dirt road in the field.
it's been raining all morning here, and the asphalt road is in good condition, which has a great impact on unpaved dirt roads. There are not only small puddles on the road, but also the road has become muddy and soft.
Ford Sharp's intelligent separable four-wheel drive+strong power helped a lot, and there is no pressure to drive this kind of road. All the way to the end of the road, a vast lake appeared in front of me.
Put down the back two rows of seats, take out all kinds of snacks and drinks, and enjoy a picnic facing the big lake and warm bloom in spring. That's life.
The temperature is suitable for picturesque scenery after the rain clears. It's absolutely impossible to leave after a meal in such a nice place. Just lie in the car and have a rest.
At this time, the best entertainment activity is the SYNC+ Zhixing infotainment system on Ford Sharp. It can not only listen to music with fuzzy semantics, check weather, navigate to multiple destinations, etc., but also watch directly on the Internet! Electricity! Shadow! 12.8-inch HD screen, the effect and speed are quite powerful.
Go straight east from Liyang, and you will arrive at the next destination-Wuxi.
Wuxi is on the north bank of Taihu Lake, and there are many famous scenic spots such as Nianhuawan, Yuantouzhu and Lingshan Buddha nearby. During the epidemic, most scenic spots restricted the flow of people, but it was the best time to go to these popular scenic spots, so they made a decisive appointment for the hottest Yuantouzhu.
There are two small islands in the north of Taihu Lake, and Yuantouzhu is one of them. This AAAAA-level scenic spot is not known recently. As early as the Ming Dynasty, many literati came here to enjoy the scenery and write inscriptions. By 1918, many dignitaries came here to build villas and gardens, which shows how beautiful the scenery here is.
Yuantouzhu's name was also handed down from ancient times, because the peninsula that goes deep into the lake looks like a giant salamander sticking its head out of the water. The tallest building on the island is Luding, which is located at the top of Luding Mountain. Climbing the tower, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake in 361 degrees.
Most of the scenic spots in the scenic area are located in the north, but the parking lot is at the south gate. If you go there by car, you'd better buy tickets to car ferry Mountain at the same time, or book tickets online and enter from the north gate of the scenic area.
besides visiting the peninsula, Yuantouzhu Scenic Area can also take a boat to Taihu Xiandao in the center of the lake.
Looking at the island from the top of the deer, just like a fairyland on the sea, it lives up to the name of the fairy island.
The most striking building on the fairy island of Taihu Lake is called Lingxiao Palace, which enshrines the world's tallest statue of the Jade Emperor, with a height of 18 meters, which is very spectacular.
Like many scenic spots, there is also a shopping street selling tourist souvenirs, snacks and cold drinks. Walking down the street, an old gentleman who was focusing on painting caught my eye.
The old gentleman is drawing a fan. Everyone who buys a fan will leave a poem message on the back, and then write his family's name. The painter is exquisite, the pen and ink are exquisite, unique and memorable, so I immediately bought one and took it home.
From Yuantouzhu, I found a small restaurant which is very popular with local people, and ordered several Wuxi home-cooked dishes.
The most distinctive traditional dish in the south of the Yangtze River-Xiangyou eel paste bears the brunt. When the dish came up, the oil was still sizzling, and the aroma was fragrant, fresh and delicious.
Another thing that surprised me was that this coriander mixed with loin slices was not as sweet as I thought of Wuxi cuisine, and the loin slices were very clean, tender and crisp, and very delicious for dinner.
Not surprisingly, I ate too much dinner. I was going to take a walk in the street to digest it, but I stumbled across a busy old street in Wuxi.
This lively pedestrian street is built according to the Wuxi Ancient Canal, which is a section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The pedestrian streets on both sides are called Nanchang Street and Nanxiatang, which are veritable old streets. From the bridge, the small buildings on both sides are built by the water, and the lights are reflected on the river, which has a strong Jiangnan style.
The street is very busy, with restaurants, pet coffee and various special commodities. Many buildings and bridges are really ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are worth visiting.
In order to attract business, shops in the street do their best. A small zoo pulls out alpacas to "stand in the street" to attract tourists.
I'm out of Wuxi and going back to Shanghai. It is said that the roads around Taihu Lake have been well built, especially the road around the lake on the east bank. I added a route to Ford Sharp's navigation, and it was not a detour to look at the map, so I decided to have a look.
Many sections of this road are paved with red or blue pavements, with Taihu Lake on one side and Suzhou gardens on the other, which are lush and beautiful.
I played by the lake until sunset, and finally reluctantly left here.
I'm going to punch in Shanghai's new online celebrity attractions today.
This place is located in the south of the Bund, a bit like 798 in Beijing, and it is a gathering place of trendy art in Shanghai. Because there are still old oil tanks on the ground, people call it "Oil Tank Art Center".
The design of the whole oil tank art area is unique. Sometimes there will be various art exhibitions or fashion activities in each oil tank, and people who come to take pictures are even more crowded.
This place is very popular. Besides these oil tanks, there are various exhibition centers across the road. Just now, I saw a variety of fashion exhibitions, home creative exhibitions and so on. Some pavilions need to buy tickets or invitations to enter, while others can visit for free.
As a foodie, you should first experience the Shanghai special dishes. The first thing you try is this crispy fish. It is said that every Shanghai restaurant will have it, which is considered as a starter. It has long been known that Shanghai cuisine tastes sweet, but this restaurant has made it taste sweet and spiced, which is very good.
Of course, another dish that I think is particularly representative is crab yellow tofu. I feel that Shanghainese really love crabs, and they will never waste them. It is said that there is a complete set of tools specially used for eating hairy crabs, but I have only heard rumors in Jianghu, and I have never seen them personally.
As the saying goes, walking after a meal almost makes you tired as a dog ... You'd better go for a walk after a full meal. Come to the riverside in Pudong area. The trail built here is illuminated with blue lights on both sides and sprayed with water mist. The effect is very fantastic. In the distance is the city skyline, which is very beautiful. Because it is far from TV stations and other major tourist attractions, there are almost no tourists, most of whom live in
Come and answer!
