Traveling to Qiandao Lake via Hangzhou on May 1st

The scenic spots in Hangzhou are actually worth visiting

Like Songcheng. Tickets are 80 yuan if you don’t watch the show, 180 yuan if you watch the show.

The Three Pools Reflecting the Moon (the pattern behind one yuan yuan) on the West Lake battery boat is 45 yuan.

In addition to Leifeng Pagoda 40, Jing Temple, Hupao Mengquan (making Longjing tea is the best in West Lake) 15, Liuhe Pagoda 15, Huanglong Cave 15, Feilaifeng and Lingfeng Yinsi 45 30, Xixi Wetland 80, the rest are basically free

Generally, those who come to West Lake will see the top ten scenic spots. Suitable for all ages

Spring Dawn on Su Di, Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon, Wind in Lotus, Pinghu, Autumn Moon, Willow Waves, Singing Orioles in Flower Harbor, Watching the Torpedo Front, Sunset Light, Broken Bridges and Remaining Snow. You can see the broken bridges along the West Lake and see the snow. Not there yet

In Hangzhou, you can get on the bus from Hubin Bus Station, take bus 7-K7 (Chengzhan Railway Station-Lingyin) for 2 yuan, and go to Broken Bridge after 3 stops. The specific time is not specified, haha, just enjoy the sightseeing. Arrive at Broken Bridge and walk 1.5km to Zhongshan Pier to take a regular battery boat to the island (Santan Yinyue), choose to get off at Huagang Guanyu Pier (ticket to the island = 45 yuan/ People) The tour time of Santan Reflecting the Moon is about 1.5 hours. Get off the boat at Huagang Pier and visit Huagang to watch fish for 40 minutes. Walk around Su Causeway Suspension Bridge and go to Leifeng Pagoda. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Leifeng Pagoda (ticket 40/person). If you come back by car, take bus 808 from Jingsi (opposite Leifeng Pagoda) bus station (1.5 yuan/person) Or get off at Wushan Square on Y7 (2 yuan/person), or get off at Gaoyin Street on Y6 (3 yuan/person). Visit the famous Wushan Square.

You can also continue walking along the lake for 2.2km after visiting Leifeng Pagoda. The scenery is still beautiful. Along the way, you can see the long bridge, one of the three strange things in Hangzhou. Wansong Academy, where I wish to study, commemorates King Qian, the emperor of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The temple also has the Orioles in the Willows, one of the ten scenic spots... It will be almost five o'clock when you arrive at the Orioles in the Willows. A few hundred meters further, there is an Ivy Tea House where you can experience the tea culture of Hangzhou and see how Hangzhou people relax. You only need to order a cup of tea, and the rest of the snacks, noodles, snacks, cold drinks, fruits, etc. are all self-service. The next day, we will go to Hefang Street. Anyway, if you stay in any of the hotels I mentioned, it will only take about ten minutes to get there

By the way, don’t do that kind of hand-cranked boat. It costs 80 per hour and it takes two hours to start. It’s quite dark and I’m going to go to a place in the lake called Maojiabu where pearls are sold. ...be cautious

Let me recommend a few hotels to you

These are all by the lake. Don’t worry. The city of Hangzhou is spread out around the West Lake. Hotels in this area are not very expensive online. It will be cheaper if you book it, it will be less than 180

Hangzhou Zhejiang Holiday Hotel No. 48 Qingnian Road, Hangzhou

Hangzhou Violet Hotel No. 36 Ding'an Road, Hangzhou

Pudding Hotel Qinghefang Branch No. 58 Gaoyin Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou

Hangzhou Aijia Self-service Hotel Chain International Youth Hostel--Xihu Avenue Branch No. 148 Xihu Avenue

Hangzhou specialties to eat:

Lotus root starch is sold in almost all major supermarkets across the country

Dried bamboo shoots packaged in bags are recommended (Ready-to-eat out of the bag) type pecans (hand-peeled) and pickled pork with pickled vegetables and duck in sauce, etc.

The pickled pork with pickled vegetables and so on are sold in supermarkets and are all made by Louwailou and eaten at home. It can be eaten in a bag or steamed again

Don’t buy tea now. The tea you buy now must be old tea.

There are many snacks in Hangzhou, but they are all satiating. Haha, for example, onion buns are sold on Hui Street for two yuan a pair. It is said that after Yue Fei was murdered by Qin Hui and his wife, everyone in Hangzhou hated Qin Hui. Back then, there was a small shop specializing in fried noodles next to Wangxian Bridge. The owner was very angry when he saw the traitor Qin Hui passing by the shop in a sedan every day. One day, he shaped the pasta into a human shape, put it into the oil pan, and while frying it, he shouted: "Fried Qin Hui, fried Qin Hui!" When someone asked him what he was selling, he casually said: "Fried Qin Hui." From then on, it got its name. Now it’s called cypress wrapped in green onion haha.

There are also Dingsheng cakes, Wushan crisp cakes, cat ears, etc.

Hangzhou specialties braised spring bamboo shoots in vegetable oil, raw fried eel slices, salty items, dry-fried bells, Hangzhou three delicacies, Song Sao fish soup, Longjing Shrimp, soy sauce duck, lotus root with honey sauce, beef fillet with Hangzhou pepper, drunken shrimp, West Lake pure vegetable soup...

Qiandao Lake cuisine mainly cooks lake fresh food, which is delicious in color and taste. Qiandao Lake is rich in 85 kinds of freshwater fish, as well as delicacies and game in the large forest, all of which are delicacies that are difficult to eat in the city. The fish restaurant in Qiandao Lake Town can be called the freshwater fish tasting center in China. Tasting fish here is undoubtedly a great enjoyment in life and should not be missed. Local specialties include steamed mandarin fish, scallion oil and white flowers, fish balls in clear soup, salt and pepper wild boar steak, Thousand Island jade turtle, whitebait soup, etc. The first restaurant to recommend is the fish restaurant on Lingnan Road. In addition, Chun'an Restaurant's four cold basins, four hot stir-fries, and six large platters are also good.
