They are available everywhere Yes, the small one can seat 6 people at 150 per hour, and the big one can seat 10 people at 180 per hour. The price has just increased.

The second type of self-operating boat is the one that pedals by oneself. , 40-50 yuan per hour, for four or five people. The location is at Baidi. You can see it on the right after passing the broken bridge. The third type is the electric boat. This location is south of Fenghe in Quyuan, on the other side of Guozhuang. I saw it by the lake, which is the West Lake in Yanggongdi. There should be other places at Huagang Fish Watching, because I usually see a lot of them when I pass by. It costs 20 yuan for half an hour. If you add it up, you can sit 4 people.

4. About Hangzhou Food

There are also a lot of green teas. The main store is on Longjing Road, next to the Tea Museum. It is surrounded by scenic spots. The scenery is super beautiful. You can enjoy it while eating. Both stores are very crowded and full, and you have to queue up to get your number, just like doing business in a bank, so it is best to choose one in a tourist attraction or a shopping mall. While waiting, you can go shopping like last year, because you can go there for meals. If so, there will basically be thirty or forty tables lined up in front, and the minimum wait is half an hour.

For outsiders coming to Hangzhou, the recommended dishes are a few desserts, such as honey-glazed lotus root, fermented glutinous rice dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and mochi. Especially those from the north can try them.

5. Regarding the postcards that literary and artistic young people like, postmarks

As for postcards, there is a family in Yujie of the Southern Song Dynasty.

< p>On the canal line at the back, there are four museums beside the Wulinmen Pier, Dadou Road, Xiaohezhi Street, and Gongchen Bridge.

7. About traveling to West Lake

Special reminder: I definitely don’t recommend taking the Su Causeway, it’s very long, tiring, and the scenery is the same

I don’t know how many days to stay in Hangzhou. If you travel to West Lake in one day, if your accommodation is north of West Lake, it is recommended to go counterclockwise. If you are south of West Lake, the order is reversed. The itinerary the next day is the same

Children's Palace, Broken Bridge--Baidu--Gushan -- Quyuan Fenghe (for lunch) -- Yanggongdi (beautiful, and accessible by bus) -- Yuhu Bay -- Leifeng Pagoda -- Nanshan Road --- Hefang Street, Nansong Imperial Street, behind Nanshan Road and the river Fangjie is the urban area, where food and transportation are convenient.

The first day’s route

Some netizens said that they were too tired to finish shopping, so they could finish the shopping at Quyuan Fenghe and then take Y6 directly to Leifeng Pagoda, or The first day is over when you arrive at Yuhu Bay. You can choose to visit the remaining Leifeng Pagoda, Hefang Street and Nanshan Road in the afternoon of the second day.

After playing in Jingsi, let’s continue taking the bus to Qingbo Gate. Nearby is the classic section of Nanshan Road. I don’t know what time it is at this time. Take a walk for a while. If it’s early, you can go to the river Let’s go to Hefang Street for dinner

(Hefang Street and Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street are here. I don’t know if you have enough time. If not, take the time to come here. It’s still a place worth visiting. Drum Tower and Hu Xueyan’s former residence are both nearby)

Hefang Street and Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street are both nearby. Museum, if you come during the day, remember to go in and take a look. I prefer to visit museums. When you first enter the Hefang Street, there is Xu Xian on the right. Baohe Hall is where he works. There is a Jiangnan Copper House not to be missed. < /p>

Come out and continue, very close to the entrance. Go east and you will see the DaSong Sandbao Game Stall. A little further east there is an alley, Dajing Alley, on the right hand side. There is Hu Qing Yu Tang Guo Yao No. inside. Go into its clinic and have a look. It's very grand and classic, and many of the Jiangnan wood carvings are very exquisite, even much more exquisite than those in Hu Xueyan's former residence.

Then don’t walk to the end of this alley, go back and continue shopping on Hefang Street until you reach the intersection of McDonald’s, which is the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street. There is a very narrow alley east of McDonald’s. There are a lot of people at the small stalls selling food, and it’s very chaotic. See if you want to eat. McDonald’s goes south, all the way to the Drum Tower. After the Drum Tower, there is the Zhongshan South Road Food Night Market.

There is one after 6 p.m. There are many small stalls, some of which taste good. Across the road from the Drum Tower is the former residence of Hu Xueyan. If you come here during the day, you can go and see it. The ticket price seems to be 15. It was the mansion of Hu Xueyan, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty and the richest man in the country.

After visiting here, you can go back to McDonald's and walk north. You can still take a look. You can go all the way to the viaduct on West Lake Avenue. They are mainly buildings of the Republic of China. If you want to eat here, it is next to Hefang Street. Gaoyin Street is full of restaurants, with an average price of fifty or sixty yuan per person

The route for the next day

Lingyin Temple--Tian Sanzhu--Tea Museum--Longjing Village- -Manjuelong, after shopping here, choose to go to Leifeng Pagoda, then Nanshan Road, then Hefang Street and Southern Song Dynasty Yujie. It is the same as the first day. If you live in the south of West Lake, you can go in the opposite direction for a whole day. The itinerary is all in the mountains of the West Lake Scenic Area. There are buses on the mountains. Taking the bus itself is also a way to enjoy the beautiful scenery

The third day of the canal cultural tour

Wulinmen Wharf, Hangzhou Tower, West Lake Cultural Square----Xinyi Fang, Dadou Road----directly to the river----Gongchen Bridge

The first line of the canal is all there

8. About Xixi Wetland< /p>

You can go shopping here in the morning, return to the hotel to check out in the afternoon, and leave Hangzhou.

In Xixi Wetland, there are so-called essence areas that require tickets, and there are also experience areas that do not require tickets. In fact, I think the experience areas that do not require tickets are already very beautiful, and the purpose of visiting Xixi Wetland has been achieved. , that is the Fu Embankment. The bus stop at the intersection of Tianlu Road and Huawu Road is the south entrance. The north entrance is at the jointly built Gangqiao Station on Wen'er Road. Continue walking forward.

The best part is in the Slow Life District. I have only been to the Dragon Boat Museum and the Hezhu Pagoda area, especially the Hezhu Pagoda once. I can’t remember the details clearly. Anyway, just go to Fudi and take a leisurely stroll. Half a day here is enough to visit, and it is convenient to eat. Consider as appropriate

9. Travel around Hangzhou

1. For ancient town tours, we recommend Xitang or Wuzhen

The classics among the six ancient towns in Jiangnan, it is recommended to go there after lunch Depart from Hangzhou, arrive in the afternoon, and stay one night. The advantage of Xitang is that if you book a hotel, the boss will come and pick you up. No tickets are required. It is best to confirm this with the hotel before going. I don’t know if the inspection is strict now. Wuzhen You must buy a ticket,

The lowest price seems to be 120 yuan. Both places are relatively close to Hangzhou. Taking a bus from Jiubao Passenger Transport Center to Wuzhen takes one hour and 10 minutes.

To go to the island, you need 120 tickets and 50 boat tickets. If you are not familiar with this, most people choose to go with a group. When I go there, it is always taken by acquaintances. I just walk around the lake and the mountains. Eat farm food,

Going to Qiandao Lake, eating fish heads is a must, but if tourists go there, they will basically be slaughtered, because the fish heads are very big in kilograms, and each one costs hundreds of yuan. , if there are few people, be careful. If you go in late autumn, the scenery is super beautiful. The lake is very quiet, and the autumn colors of Jinhua on the shore are printed on the lake. It is very beautiful
