When is the best time to travel to Hangzhou?

Known as "paradise on earth", Hangzhou is a city full of ancient poetry and vitality.

I remember the last time I went to Hangzhou was in the summer of six years ago. I stayed in the studio near Zhuantang for nearly two months, but I didn't go anywhere except China Academy of Fine Arts! That trip to Hangzhou was really a pity, but I didn't always remember it. This trip to Hangzhou was purely a temporary decision, just because after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I found that I actually had a three-day holiday, so I decided to go to Hangzhou for a long time, which was also a trip.

I have to say that it is very good to travel at this time. In early autumn, the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, and it also perfectly avoided the peak of crowds.

My plan is to visit for two days. On the first night of my trip, I arrived at the hotel I had booked in advance. The hotel is Mercure Hotel near the West Lake Scenic Area. Traffic and infrastructure are quite good. There is a small evaluation of the hotel in the back.

The arrangement of this night, save your strength.

The plan for the first day is near the West Lake Scenic Area. I got up early, had breakfast in the hotel and went out before eight o'clock. After all, the baby who gets up early has a good view. Although it's not rush hour, there will definitely be many people in the West Lake. I don't want to be squeezed and cried in the West Lake.

The interesting places in Hangzhou are mainly concentrated in the West Lake District, and you don't need tickets to enter the scenic spot. There are hundreds of scenic spots around, so you can't walk all of them in one day. You must choose to play.

I mainly paid attention to several scenic spots of the West Lake in the Qing Dynasty, namely: Su Causeway Xiao Chun, Quyuan Fenghe, Pinghu Qiuyue, Broken Bridge Canxue, Liulang Wenying, Huagang Fish Watching, Leifeng Sunset, Shuangfeng Chayun, Nanping Night Bell and Santan silver moon.

I followed a route I saw on the Internet: Broken Bridge, Canxue-Lingyin Temple-Fish Watching in Huagang-Xizi Lake-Santan Yin Yue-Leifeng Sunset-Night Tour of West Lake.

However, I didn't go to Lingyin Temple because of a little accident on the road, but I didn't really have any obsession with the temple, so it didn't affect my mood much. The only regret is that Lingyin Temple is a representative scenic spot in Hangzhou. In addition, to enter Lingyin Temple, you must first get the ticket for Feilaifeng Scenic Spot (the ticket price is 45 yuan, and the student ticket is half price), and then buy the ticket for Lingyin Temple in the scenic spot (the ticket price is 30 yuan, and the student ticket is half price).

One of the obsessions of this trip to the West Lake is "breaking the bridge and breaking the snow". After all, I grew up listening to Vae songs, but I still want to see the scenes in the songs.

The most beautiful season of broken bridge is undoubtedly after the winter snow. When the snow and ice on the sunny side of the bridge melt, the bridge seems to be broken from a height. This is the famous "Broken Snow". But it still takes some luck to see the landscape of "broken bridge and residual snow".

However, even if it is not winter, there are many tourists who break the bridge on weekdays. Many people will choose Broken Bridge as the starting point to visit the West Lake, from Broken Bridge to Bai Causeway, then to Gushan, and then visit the scenic spots around the West Lake in turn.

There is a book about the age of innocence near the broken bridge. The storefront is antique and poetic. You can have a look.

This day's lunch was eaten in Louwailou (Gushan Road Store), which is the head office of Louwailou, and the name of the store was taken from the poem "Outside the Castle Peak Building outside the Mountain". I went at a good time, not for dinner, so I didn't spend much time waiting in line.

It is said that Louwailou is the best hangzhou dishes. It tastes really good, but it is sweeter than ordinary hangzhou dishes. The average person 100 is a little more, not as expensive as expected. The must-order dishes are West Lake vinegar fish and Dongpo meat, which are the classic food in Hangzhou and the signature of Louwailou.

On this day, it is also necessary to mention the Leifeng Tower. Climb to the top of Leifeng Tower, overlooking the West Lake and Jingci Temple. However, if you watch the sunset in Leifeng Tower, it is recommended to go to the promenade opposite or near Leifeng Tower. You can see the sunset glow plating on the tower, just like the Buddha's light shining. The lights by the West Lake outline the whole West Lake, and the scenery is beautiful. (The fare is 40 yuan, and the student ticket is half price)

There is also the music fountain in the West Lake at night, which is also worth visiting. Get in position early! I just went too late. ...

It's less than 200 yuan a day, but besides Lingyin Temple, there are all kinds of food and play, which I think is quite good!

The next day's itinerary was a bit complicated, that is, visiting white pagoda park-Xiangshan Campus of China Academy of Fine Arts-Zhongshuge in Xingguang International Plaza-West Lake-Emperor Street and Hefang Street in Southern Song Dynasty.

White pagoda park is a holy place for taking photos, among which steam locomotives are a highlight. There are two steam locomotives in the park, one is not running but can be visited by tourists, and the other can take tourists to visit white pagoda park (fare 10 RMB). Both inside and outside the train completely restored the appearance of the old-fashioned train, which not only told the tourists about the past history, but also made them feel a strong sense of the times.

Next, I went to Gome to find my little friend. I went to Gome a few years ago. This time I revisited my old place, but this time my good friend who studied in Gome took me around the campus. The architectural style of the Academy of Fine Arts is low-key, artistic and surrounded by mountains and waters. It's not much different from a few years ago, but it's still beautiful.

I also went to look for the clock. Zhong also has one in Thames Town, Shanghai, which is full of mirrors. It's cool! Relatively speaking, the clocks in Hangzhou are more lively and less bookish. I prefer the one in Shanghai. However, this is understandable. After all, Hangzhou Zhongshuge is in the square, and the natural commercial atmosphere is heavier.

After a while, I went to Yujie Street and Hefe Street in the Southern Song Dynasty for supper (roast duck sausage is delicious), and the two streets are next to each other.

In this way, the next day ended perfectly. It is nothing but transportation and eating. It cost a little more than 100, and this trip is quite affordable.

The reason why this trip is affordable is because almost all the scenic spots I went to don't need tickets, but I didn't spend a penny after seeing the beautiful scenery; Secondly, I have friends in Hangzhou and invited me to eat a lot. After all, it's easy to spend more time with friends (laugh! ), and then there is the high cost performance of the hotel.

Amway, the Mercure West Lake Hotel mentioned earlier is definitely a clear stream of high-priced mid-range hotels located near the scenic spot (I have seen other mid-range hotels, at least 450 RMB).

Maybe it's because it's the off-season and I have a membership card of China Lodging Group (Mercure Hotel is a mid-range hotel owned by China Lodging Group), and the room is set in the early 300 s. The lady at the front desk also helped me upgrade the big bed room to a luxurious big bed room for free. In the off-season, I can try to change rooms for free, which is also a benefit of mid-range hotels. Remember, you can try your luck later.

Hotel environment is very good, French style, overall elegant and exquisite. In the lobby of the hotel, there is a huge mural of Lin Zinan, a famous domestic visual artist. According to my later Baidu, this mural was inspired by the sculptor Rodin's classic work Kiss, Van Gogh's iris and French classical architecture, showing the modern romantic style. This undoubtedly greatly enhances the hotel's taste!

The room is very clean, with a large space and a faint fragrance, which smells good. Each room is equipped with safe, refrigerator, stereo and other facilities. Drinks in the refrigerator are free, including coke, soda water and mineral water. In addition, when you check in in the hotel lobby, we will provide you with free grapefruit juice, lemonade and biscuits. In addition to the above, the hotel also provides buffet French breakfast (mine is a gift, maybe a member benefit)!

The trip cost about 1000. I had a good time, stayed well and was very satisfied. Although I came and went in a hurry, the city of Hangzhou left an excellent impression on me. I will definitely take time to play and eat enough again.
