Route design: D1 Quyuan Fenghe → Lingyin Temple-Feilai Peak → Impression of West Lake D2 Leifeng Sunset → Fish Watching in Huagang → Three Pools Reflecting the Moon Route Guide: Day 1

Depart early in the morning and arrive in Hangzhou , check in at the Guest House of Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University.

Quyuan Fenghe After putting away the luggage, walk to the outer building of Xihu Building for dinner. On the way, we passed the Botanical Garden and Quyuan Fenghe. Quyuan Fenghe is a free and open attraction. In June, the lotus pond is already filled with lotus leaves that touch the sky. In August and September, the lotus flowers are in full bloom and graceful. Walking on the winding path, the lotus flowers are red accordingly. , very elegant.

Stop by the Yue Temple near Quyuan Fenghe and buy tickets for the evening "Impression of the West Lake".

Louwailou Went to Louwailou at 13:00 and ordered West Lake Vinegar Fish, Sister Song’s Fish Soup, and two or three seasonal vegetables. West Lake vinegar fish is very sour. Because the water quality of West Lake is not good, vinegar fish was invented to remove the fishy smell. Mrs. Song's fish soup is quite good. At first glance, I thought the shredded fish, which was accompanied by shredded onion, ginger, and nozzle, was shredded tofu. It was white and tender, but it didn't feel as soft as tofu in the mouth. It had a texture. Bamboo shoots are among the seasonal vegetables, and Zhejiang is rich in bamboo shoots, so the small bamboo shoot tips from any store will taste good.

Lingyin Temple 14:00 After drinking and eating, take Y1 from the nearby Yuemiao Temple to Lingyin Temple. After a few stops, we arrived at the final stop, Lingyin Temple. Lingyin Temple is full of incense and crowded with pilgrims. It passes through Lower Tianzhu, Middle Tianzhu and reaches Upper Tianzhu. There are many temples here as a geomantic treasure. These few are also temples, but they are not crowded with people. The old mother who sells tickets in Tianzhu is reciting Buddhist scriptures. There are six sticks of incense at the entrance, and there are two halls and two incense burners in the temple.

15:30 It is time to catch up with the practice. The ritual instruments are clanging, the wooden fish are dripping, chanting sutras are murmuring, and the faithful men and women are standing on both sides.

Went down the mountain back to Lingyin at 16:00. When entering the garden or the temple, you have to leave money to buy it. The Zen room in the temple is also very impressive, and it is a cultural heritage to visit. When the park was closed, it was quite novel to see monks wearing T-shirts playing basketball.

Impression of West Lake. Take bus No. 7 from Lingyin back to Yuemiao. It’s almost 17:00. After dinner near Yuemiao, you can go in to see this large-scale natural landscape at 19:45. Performed. The entire performance is performed on the natural landscape as the stage. It is the masterpiece of West Lake created by three directors Zhang Yimou, Wang Chaoge and Fan Yue after "Impression of Liu Sanjie". Many tourists come here because of its reputation, and it is definitely worth a visit.

The next day

Leifeng Pagoda: Take a taxi to Leifeng Pagoda at 8:30, the ticket is 40. The tower was rebuilt on the original site, and it is said that there is an elevator in the tower. The original tower collapsed as early as 1929 because people dug up bricks with scriptures engraved on it. However, Mr. Lu Xun gave this a sacred meaning in "On the Collapse of Leifeng Pagoda": Because Bai Suzhen was held in the tower, its collapse meant the liberation of women and the demise of feudal power. "Leifeng Sunset" has a bitterness of decline. Why not just leave the ruins and warn future generations like the Old Summer Palace.

Fish Watching in Huagang: Leave Leifeng Tower at 9:00 and walk two steps to the Fish Watching Area in Huagang. There is a cruise ship dock. Boating on the lake, surrounded by mountains and a city, you can have a panoramic view of the Su Di willows. In March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Through the mist in the morning mist, you can see the red peach blossoms and green willows, the singing orioles and the dancing swallows. It must be a wonderful scene at the spring dawn on Su Di.

The boat slowly approaches San Tan Yinying. It is said that the three holes on the Tan are water measuring marks made by Su Dongpo when he was in Hangzhou. If the water level of the West Lake rises to the level of the small holes, , the entire city of Hangzhou will become a vast ocean. Now that the West Lake has been connected to the Qiantang River and has become a living water, there is no need to worry about the lake flooding anymore. When the light from the small holes refracts and reflects each other during the full moon, the thirty-three moons that can be seen, and the bright moon in the heart of the thirty-third one, add a strong humanistic color to San Tan Yinyue.

To the north is Xiaoyingzhou. The plaque on the gate of the courtyard "My heart is in harmony" was written by Qianlong when he went to Jiangnan. The two points of the word "heart" mean that two hearts are connected.

Nanhu Then turn the boat around and swim around Nanhu. South Lake is a mountain spring water with clear water to the bottom. There is a clear boundary between clear and mixed water at the intersection with West Lake. It is rich in wild freshwater pearls, and clam shells are harvested every five years. Last year was a fishing year, and the harvest was quite abundant. This year's pearl prices are cheaper. The shore of South Lake is surrounded by water and clouds. While writing poems and painting in the attic corridor, scenes of "drinking wine at dusk and lying drunk among the water and clouds" emerged in my mind.

On the shore is the Pearl Research Institute, where you can meet pearl kings whose pearls are 5, 10 or 15 years old. There are only three types of wild freshwater beads: pink, white and purple. They are round and shiny. The two beads are rubbed together and sprinkled with fine pearl powder, but the surface is still smooth. King Pearl also has health-care effects and is priced at a high price.

Depart at 12:00 for dinner at Bieyinju in the city. Their pickles are their specialty.

Depart for Wulin Road Women's Clothing Street at 14:00. Wulin Road is also known as "the gathering place for Hangzhou-style women's clothing" because the famous Hangzhou-style women's clothing goes from here. Nationwide, including brands such as Jiangnan Buyi and Qiushui Yiren.

Return to Shanghai at 18:55.

Cruise ship tip: You should take a small boat on the West Lake. Never take a large passenger ship or a speedboat, as this may seem like "catch up" with the West Lake. Another advantage of taking a boat is that you can enter the South Lake, see the clams at the bottom of the lake spit out bubbles, and put your hands into the water to feel the refreshing feeling. The water contains a lot of minerals, making the skin smooth after soaking.

Transportation Tips: Hangzhou is not a big place. If you are traveling together, it is recommended to take a taxi. The starting fee is 10 yuan for 3 kilometers. You can get anywhere with only a dozen yuan. There are basically no air-conditioned buses that sell tickets in Hangzhou, so please bring extra change for self-guided tours. Since the transportation card was implemented earlier than Shanghai, everyone pulled the card and it was difficult to find change.

Food tip: For West Lake vinegar fish, I recommend gourmets to go to Zhang Shengji on Shuangling Road. Their vinegar fish is large and delicious, sour and sweet, with a tender texture that melts in your mouth. The signature dish of the old duck is stewed with bacon, dried bamboo shoots and other ingredients, simmered slowly over low heat, and served with the lid off. It is such a big pot, with a big body and great taste. It will not be too little for a table of ten people. Don’t forget to order a cup of Dongpo Pork, so you’ll have a classic Hangzhou delicacy.

Tips for visiting: Generally, there are monks’ practices at eight in the morning and four in the evening, which is quite lively. Three-day tour for lazy people in the mountains. Features of the route: Be a villager in the mountains for a day, taste mountain spring tea for a day, and enjoy the holiday of a lazy donkey in the city.

Travel tips: 1. Lingyin Temple: Do not hire a temporary tour guide before entering Lingyin Temple. They will take you to buy incense. Slip away (commonly known as Xiangtuo).

2. Longjing: If you don’t plan to buy tea when you go to Longjing, don’t just drink tea. It costs 10 yuan a cup. For those who don’t understand tea, remember to cut the price by half first and then gradually increase it based on the tea farmer’s expression. (The price is purely random)

Shopping tips: 1. If you want to buy small walnuts, first ask whether it is a big year or a small year. The output is lower in the small year and the price is higher. The price of new goods is low when they arrive after autumn, and the price of inventory is high in the beginning of spring.

2. Tea market prices are generally relatively fair, about 40% cheaper than those at tourist attractions. And a complete range of dry goods.

Wonderful experiences:

In the three-day trip, the most memorable thing was the Shangougou Farm Tour on the second day. In the early morning, breathe in the fragrant and pure fresh air, listen to the chirping of birds in the distance; look up at the white clouds floating in the sky, and see the green waves of the bamboo sea surrounded by mountains; even the always lazy people can't help but think about it. Do some exercises to move your shins.

When I climbed to the top of the Tangkeng Scenic Area in the afternoon, I faced the mountain spring with the shade of trees on my back, breathed in the cool air beside the spring, looked down at the bamboo huts at the bottom of the mountain, and thought about the descriptions in a martial arts book. In this place where the masters live, they can't help but want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and live a leisurely and contented life in the mountains. A cup of tea and a relaxing book.

Perhaps such leisurely life is also a luxury for us urbanites.
