I’m going to Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou for a week in a few days (planning 2 days in each place) but I’m not very familiar with the attractions there. Can anyone tell me the route in detail?

I don’t know whether you are going north or south, but you can just adjust the order when the time comes. Two days in Suzhou is definitely not enough, so let’s give a rough idea first.

I will give you two days in Hangzhou, two days in Shanghai and three days in Suzhou. Remember, you must try your best to book a place to stay, otherwise it will be quite troublesome when the time comes. It only takes one or two hours to drive from Suzhou to Shanghai and from Shanghai to Hangzhou. It is very convenient to go back and forth. First, let’s assume that you take a car to Hangzhou. Day 1: West Lake Scenic Area, basically free

Start the tour at 9:00 Stroll along Hubei direction to Broken Bridge

9:40 Arrive at Broken Bridge

10:20 Walk 1.5km to Zhongshan Pier and take a regular battery boat to the island (Three Pools Reflecting the Moon), choose Huagang Get off the boat at Guanyu Pier (boat ticket + island ticket = 45 yuan/person)

Disembark at Huagang Pier at 12:00 and visit Huagang Guanyu Pier for 40 minutes.

12: 45. Walk to Leifeng Pagoda (ticket 40/person, tour for about one hour)

At 14:00, 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 Three Gorges of Hangzhou One of the strangest long bridges is the Wansong Academy, which commemorates the emperors of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Wansong Academy, and the One of the Ten Scenic Spots, Sing the Orioles in the Willows... It will be almost five o'clock when you arrive at Sing the Orioles in the Willows. A few hundred meters further, there is a Qingqing You can go to Teng Tea House to experience the tea culture of Hangzhou and see how Hangzhou people are leisurely. You only need to order a cup of tea. The rest of the snacks, noodles, rice, snacks, cold drinks, fruits, etc. are all self-service. Go to Hefang Street the next day. Anyway, if you If you stay in any of the hotels I mentioned, you will be about ten minutes away from there.

But if you feel tired and don’t want to walk so much, you can go directly to Jingci Temple after coming out of Leifeng Pagoda. .

14:40 Get on bus 808 (1.5 yuan/person) or Y7 (2 yuan/person) at the Jingci Temple (opposite Leifeng Pagoda) bus station and get off at Wushan Square, feel the natural breeze of Wushan, and visit Wushan Square , stroll along the first street of Shilihuang Street - Hefang Street

Then extend Wushan Square and stroll westward for 10 minutes to the lakeside, visit the Orioles in the Waves, and then continue to enjoy the scenery along the lake to the Ivy Tea House...

By the way, don’t do that kind of hand-cranked boat. It costs 80 per hour and it takes two hours to get there. It’s very dark and you can go to a place called Maojiabu where pearls are sold in the lake. ..Be cautious, you can go out and walk around Hangzhou at night.

The next day: Arrive at Lingyin Temple at 9:30, visit the temple and ancient temple, have lunch at 11:30, and then go to Songcheng. You should be able to arrive at 13:30. Tickets for Songcheng are 80 yuan. Tickets for the Songcheng Eternal Love Show (very exciting and worth seeing) are 180 yuan. After watching the performance, you can visit Songcheng and enjoy the folk customs and art performances. After the tour, you can take a bus to Shanghai. There are many buses, so you can buy a ticket and get on the bus at any time. After arriving in Shanghai, you can go shopping on the Bund that night. Take the subway and get off at Dongchang Station, which is a ten-minute walk away. After shopping, go back to the hotel and rest.

On the first day, we went to the Chenghuang Temple to eat the expensive but must-eat Nanxiang soup dumplings, visited the Chenghuang Temple, visited Yuyuan Garden, strolled along the Shanghai Old Street and went to Yunnan South Road for dinner, and tasted the white chicken and Wu Fang in Little Shaoxing. Zhai dim sum, fresh pork ribs rice cake, and Xinjiang skewers at the corner in the middle of the street are also very delicious, you can try them all. Then you can walk to Nanjing Road for a walk. After that, you can go to Lujiazui, Pudong, and go to the Jinmao to see the panoramic view of Shanghai. Although you can go to the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Financial Center, I personally think that the Jinmao is better. You can see the panorama, the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the Global Center, all in Lujiazui. That piece. Just hope it's a sunny day.

In the evening, go to the Bund and take a sightseeing boat on the Pujiang River to see the night view of Shanghai. Personally, I think the scenery of the Bund is better seen from Pudong, and the scenery of Pudong is better seen from the Bund. Therefore, taking a boat in the middle of the Pujiang River and seeing the scenery on both sides can kill two birds with one stone. The cruise costs 70 yuan and the journey takes 50 minutes, not including the time waiting for the boat to leave. After getting off the boat, you can take a walk on the Bund. The landscape lights on both sides are turned off at 22:30. If you are not satisfied, go back to the hotel, pack lightly, and go clubbing on Hengshan Road. The program is arranged by itself.

Early the next morning, you can go to Madame Tussauds in People's Square. After watching it, you can also visit the Shanghai Museum for free. Find a place to have lunch, and take the camera to sweep the streets near Xintiandi in the afternoon. The First Meeting Site and Shikumen are very impressive. If you like the water town, you can also go to the Pu'an Road bus stop in front of the Shanghai Museum in the morning and take the high-speed express to Zhujiajiao. The one-way fare is 12 and it takes one hour to arrive. If you don't visit some of the attractions in Zhujiajiao, there is no entrance fee. of. You can be back before 4pm. After that, you can prepare to go to Suzhou. There are buses available at any time.

The main point is to visit Suzhou. I can only briefly visit Suzhou in three days. If you want to truly enjoy the beauty of Suzhou gardens, this time is not enough. The place there is quite small, and it doesn’t take long to get from one scenic spot to another, and there are buses. Then you will slowly experience it, but the road is relatively narrow, and there may be traffic jams when there are too many people. Pay attention. The following is a travel friend’s experience in Suzhou, which I personally think is very good.

I chose the Suzhou Jiahe Business Hotel, which is opposite the south door of the Lion Forest Parking Lot. The hotel is good and gave me a member price of 128 a night. It is absolutely good. The toilets used are all Kohler. According to netizens It may cost 3,000 to 4,000 yuan each, and the same goes for sanitary ware. Ha ha. Here, I would also like to thank netizens for their recommendations and introductions. After arriving, I found that the location of the hotel is good. It is located on Yuanlin Road in the ancient city of Suzhou. It is not on the main road in the city (note: the main road in the city is noisy). There are almost no cars at night. It is very quiet. It is on the ancient street of Yuanlin Road. , opposite is the Lion Forest. Quiet in the hustle and bustle, considerate service, value for money is what I would say about him, and he is very cost-effective. It is also very convenient to go to the garden and Guanqian Street. Before coming here, I checked their website and looked at the pictures. After staying here, I found that it was the same as the ones online, very good. 128 yuan value. It may be 148 on weekends. It is recommended not to choose weekends before departure. Ha ha!

It is best to live in the urban area, because Suzhou’s public transportation is very convenient and there are bus lines to various scenic spots. It is more convenient. In this regard, I think it is the best in the country. ! I arrived in Suzhou at 9:00 in the morning. When I came out of the train station exit, there were a lot of people soliciting customers. Just ignore them. Walk forward without turning, and you will see the designated place for taxis. It is a crowded time. I had to queue up, so I took a 10-yuan taxi ride to the hotel. I was too tired from taking the train, so I went to the hotel to check in, washed my face, turned on the air conditioner, and rested for a while. I think the advantage of self-guided tours is that you can control your time and have fun without getting tired. I also hope that everyone will travel in a leisurely way and not be too tired. You may spend a little more money, but the fun will definitely be different. It was 12 o'clock. We played in the Lion Forest and went to Tongtianfu to eat. The two of us didn't spend more than 60 yuan, so we went to the hotel to rest for a while. It was too hot at noon, not much worse than Sanya. It would be 3:00 in the afternoon. , I just went to the Humble Administrator's Garden to play. It was around 5 o'clock, so I went to Guanqian Street in the evening. There were so many delicious foods. When going, I personally recommend walking. Because it’s only a ten-minute walk from the Lion Grove Hotel to Guanqian. Along the riverside with willow trees and Suzhou’s ancient buildings, you will have a different feeling. The next day we went to Tiger Hill and Hanshan Temple, and in the evening we went to Pingjiang Road Historic District. It felt great. I went to Mudu on the third day, and in the early morning I went to the Pingjiang Road Historic District to see what old Suzhou was like in the early morning. In the evening, there is a Kunqu Opera performance on Guanqian Street called Guangyu Bookstore. I don’t remember the name accurately. It seems to be in some palace alley. It's around here anyway. If it's not far away, don't ask the driver or the three-man coachman. They won't tell you what they know, and they will probably take you somewhere else. I can't tell what happened. Sometimes, I think it would be better if Suzhou didn't have these tricycle drivers, and tourism would be much better. Most of these people will cheat people because of money. Sometimes he even curses and hits others. I said most not all! ! ! Especially the ones near the scenic spots are really annoying.

Bus route: Get off at the train station and take a taxi for 10 yuan to the Lion Forest. There are buses such as You1, You2, 313, 301, 202, etc., all of which are 1 yuan, and the air-conditioned ones are 2 yuan. Once here, there are buses to everywhere. I think this point is the best as it is a transfer station.

Tips: Suzhou City has very good security and all accommodation must be registered. Sanya cannot compare with this. However, the tricycle drivers in Suzhou are very annoying. The best way is to ignore them. They are all workers from out of town, so they are very annoying. When I see you are traveling, I tell you, where are you going, one yuan, beauty streets, etc. Don’t pay attention to them, don’t ask them for directions, and don’t let them take you to a hotel. Be careful to get ripped off! There are also some taxi drivers in Suzhou. Sometimes if they see that you are a foreigner and ask where you want to go, they will say that this place is not good and take you to live somewhere else. Because they will get commissions, and you will also get ripped off. In short, don’t trust these people too much when you go out. It is best to ask maps and ordinary citizens for directions. This is best. The address to Jiahe Hotel is: the south door of the Lion Grove Parking Lot on Yuanlin Road. There is an Internet cafe opposite. The place surrounding Chi is Shizilin. Personally, I think the Lion Forest signs are not easy to find, because you can’t see obvious signs when you get off the bus stop. Now I’ll teach you a good way: when you get off the bus, you can see a good supermarket, and there is But the Tongtianfu Hotel opposite is called Shilin Temple Lane. Come in and keep walking until you reach the intersection and you will find the Lion Grove. You can also see the Jiahe I mentioned. Turn left and go straight ahead to find the Humble Administrator's Garden. It's very close. , go straight ahead at the intersection and turn left before you reach Pingjiang Historic Street. Don't get a tricycle, because there is no need to spend this money. It is actually very close, but the sign is not clear. Suzhou city is not big to begin with. Some people have said that the ancient city of Suzhou (mainly Pingjiang District) was also called Pingjiang Mansion in the old days. From south to north or east to west, the taxi fare will not exceed 20 yuan. I believe that the purpose of self-guided tours is to be completely self-guided and to use your trip as an opportunity to learn local knowledge. Just use some snacks and be more prepared!

About Play: Suzhou gardens are the best in the world. Suzhou gardens are comprehensive works of art of architecture, landscapes, flowers and trees, sculptures, calligraphy and painting. They integrate natural beauty and artistic beauty, forming a circuitous and step-by-step landscape. picture.

There are more than 60 gardens in the city, among which the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden are included in the four famous gardens in China, together with the Master's Garden, Huanxiu Villa and Canglang Pavilion, the Lion Grove, the Art Garden, the Couple Garden, the Tuisi Garden, etc. Nine classical gardens were included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in December 1997 and November 2000 respectively. The ancient towns Tongli, Zhouzhuang and Jiaozhi are in the process of applying for inclusion in the World Cultural Heritage.

Suzhou has both the beauty of gardens and the beauty of landscapes. Temples, temples and famous temples are spread throughout urban and rural areas; cultural relics and historic sites complement each other. With the addition of literati's inscriptions and calligraphy and couplets, it became famous both at home and abroad. Lingyan, Tianping, Dongting, Dongshan, Xishan, Dengwei, Yushan, Yushan and other places are all natural scenic spots. The ancient town of Zhouzhuang and modern tourist facilities such as Suzhou Paradise and Taihu Paradise also attract many tourists from home and abroad.

Suzhou currently has 10 museums including opera, folk customs, inscriptions, silk, Suzhou embroidery, coins, gardens, and Buddhism, and has become a new tourist hotspot. There is also a Museum of Arts and Crafts under construction.

I went to the following places and expressed the following opinions:

Humble Administrator’s Garden: To the north of the Lion Grove, straight from the garden road to the north, I think the essence of Suzhou gardens is Here it is. Tickets are 70 and the best value to see. Remember that there is a Suzhou Folk Museum on the way from the Lion Grove Garden to the Humble Administrator's Garden. Admission is free, so you can stop by and check it out.

Lion Forest: Named after the rockery kingdom. There are countless lions, young lions, roaring lions, dancing lions, waking lions, and sleeping lions squatting, fighting, or playing in the mountains. The incredible entire mountain range looks like the Kunlun Mountains, with mountains rising out of the ground, dominated by the uplifted Lion Peak. The mountains are undulating and stretching in all directions. It’s worth a look!

Huqiu: Known as "the first scenic spot in Wuzhong". "Historical Records" records: "King Wu Fu Chai buried his father here. Three days later, a white tiger came up from it, so it was named Huqiu." The Huqiu Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty, and it was renamed Wuqiu in the Tang Dynasty.

Baoen Temple was known as Yunyan Temple in the Song Dynasty and Hufu Temple in the Qing Dynasty.

It is recommended to go to Guanqian Street in the evening and eat Huang Tianyuan’s noodles. Take a trip to Pingjiang Road Historic District. One day in downtown Suzhou is indeed not enough. Ganjiang Road is also very good. There is a river in the middle of the road, which may be the only one in the country. Throughout my trip to Suzhou, I still have a lot of praise for Pingjiang Road. This has been renovated, but you can still find hundreds of years old houses. Some old men are fishing by the river, and old ladies are enjoying the cool air and chatting by the pavilion on the left side of the bridge. While taking photos along the way, I also saw a small boat carrying tourists in the river; and a beautiful girl sitting on the bow of the boat, the way she looked at people was even more heart-pounding. Changdi was finally left behind by the pace. The scenery is very good, but it depends on the person. She doesn't like my LG very much, saying I don't look like a young person, haha. She prefers to visit the front street because there is shopping.

If you have time, go to Lingyan Mountain in Mudu. Tianping Mountain, it will take a whole day to do this.

Tips: The transportation in Suzhou is very good. The map of Suzhou is very clear and practical. As long as you know the north and south directions clearly and don't get confused, it will be fine. There are many bus lines and the services are very considerate.

You can bring specialties - pine nut candies, rose melon seeds, shrimp soy sauce, jujube paste sesame cakes, lard salty cakes, Taicang meat floss, musical instruments, Su embroidery, silk, Biluochun tea, Su fans, Taohuawu woodcut New Year pictures, Hu pen, and Taihu whitebait.

China has four major cuisines: Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, and Sichuan, with different tastes. They are called "Eastern sour, western spicy, southern sweet, and northern salty". Jiangsu cuisine belongs to the "southern sweet" flavor. .

Suzhou cuisine is characterized by rigorous selection of ingredients, fine workmanship, application of materials and different seasons. It is good at stewing, stewing, steaming, roasting and stir-frying, and pays attention to soup mixing to maintain the original juice. Flavor. The taste is light and sweet, and the color is harmonious.

The famous Soviet-style signature dishes include: squirrel mandarin fish, shark's fin in clear soup, eel paste with oil, watermelon chicken, whole chicken with mother oil, Taihu water shield soup, emerald shrimp bucket, lotus stew, etc.

Suzhou snacks are also famous all over the world. Dried tofu in dense sauce, pine nut candy, rose melon seeds, shrimp soy sauce, jujube paste sesame cake, lard salty cake, etc. are all very popular and must-try.

The most famous Suzhou-style restaurants are "Deyue Tower" and "Songhe Tower".

The specialty of Deyuelou (No. 27, Eunuch Alley) is that the menu changes in due course according to the seasons. In spring, there is cherry sauce meat; in summer, there are steamed anchovies, maple trotters, steamed pork with lotus sauce, etc.; in autumn, there are chestnut yellow braised chicken, fat-free pork; in winter, there are bone-in eight-treasure chicken, boiled herring, assorted hot pot, etc. The two of us ate a De Yuetong Chicken (RMB 50), a Roasted Bacon Pork (RMB 15), and a bottle of Budweiser (RMB 10), which cost 75 RMB. The waiter smiled when paying the bill, maybe because we ordered less, haha! ! !

Songhe Tower (No. 141 Guanqian Street) was founded during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of more than 200 years and is a representative of traditional Jiangsu cuisine. Squirrel mandarin fish, Biluo shrimp, braised meat and tofu, etc. are all the signature dishes of this restaurant. I didn’t get to eat because I didn’t have a reservation, so I’ll try it next time I get the chance.

The most popular restaurants in Suzhou nowadays include Tianzhu, Xiangyun, Runji, Tsinghua, Nankai, etc. These "fashionable new favorites" are compared with "time-honored restaurants" such as "Deyue Tower" and "Songhe Tower". ”, the price is more reasonable, the service is first-class, and the environment is more elegant.

The main food streets in Suzhou include: Eunuch Lane, Shiquan Street, Xueshi Street, Fenghuang Street, Ganjiang Road and Shilu Kinmen Shopping Mall Food Street. But there are so many that it’s hard to choose.

The best place to stay in Suzhou is in the urban area. You can’t afford to stay in a 4- or 5-star hotel. But I personally don’t think it’s necessary. Economic hotels are developing well now, and the house prices are generally between 100 and 200 yuan. The space is missing restaurants and other facilities, but it gives us tourists more real benefits! But the conditions of hotels that are too cheap are often unsatisfactory. When I go to Suzhou, I choose a place close to the garden scenic area. One is safety, and the other is the surrounding environment. I can feel the atmosphere of old Suzhou. The Jiahe Business Hotel on Yuanlin Road where I stayed is worth recommending, especially when I get up early in the morning and stand on Yuanlin Road. There is a special feeling. But you have to get up earlier. Preferably before 6 o'clock. Haha, if you are a lazy man, don’t mention it, haha! The key to choosing a hotel to stay is whether it has lobby and room bathroom facilities. This is my experience from many years of business travel. It's on a main road, on a main road, the price is high, and the room is noisy.

Transportation: Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and Pudong Airport have direct buses to Suzhou, with fares of 50 yuan and 80 yuan respectively. You can also take trains and buses from Shanghai. It is best to take the train, which leaves in 20 minutes and can be reached in 40 minutes. But if you arrive at the airport at night, you will spend a lot of money. Jianyi can arrive in Suzhou in the afternoon. Because it was too late, there were no airport buses. A taxi to the train station would cost at least 300 oceans.

Travel: Suzhou has opened a special tourist bus line, which is divided into east and west lines. The east line passes through the railway station, Beisi Pagoda, East Garden, Lion Grove, Humble Administrator's Garden, Guanqian Street, etc. The west line passes through the railway station, Huqiu, Xiyuan, Hanshan Temple, Liuyuan Garden, Shantang Street, Panmen, etc. The fare is 1 yuan for regular cars and 2 yuan for air-conditioned cars. In addition, you can take a taxi, the starting price is 10 yuan (3 kilometers), or rent a bicycle to play. It is not recommended to take a tricycle, the price is extremely expensive.

Tickets: Tickets for various attractions in Suzhou are around 50 yuan, varying between peak and off-season.

Shopping: Places you can visit in the city include Renmin Road and Guanqian Street, where you can buy Daoxiang Village’s freshly baked fermented rice cakes and pine nut candies, Ye Shouhe’s date mud cakes and dried tofu, and Huang Tianyuan’s Rice cakes, Caizhizhai’s brown sugar and one-bite cakes, etc.

Note: 1. There are many people at the exit of the train station or bus station who recommend one-day tours or hotels. Don’t ignore them. As long as you hesitate at all, they will pester you for a long time! Once successful, you will contribute the kickback! Most of the hotels they recommended were dirty and messy. Otherwise, he will recommend you to go, and it would be strange if there is no kickback. Remember: what they say is bad is actually good, and what they say is good must be bad. This requires reverse thinking

2. It is best not to ride on the tricycles in Suzhou, and never go there. Listen to those out-of-town rickshaw drivers who recommend you places to visit at extremely low fares. Not to mention that those places are not fun, the coachman can also get kickbacks for your contribution. Remember: what they say is bad is actually good, and what they say is good must be bad. This requires reverse thinking. Sometimes it's really funny. I heard a tricycle driver say to a little girl that the most interesting thing in Suzhou is the Water Village Folk Garden, especially the cockfighting show. faint! ! !

3. All buses in Suzhou accept Shanghai Transportation Card and Wuxi Taihu Pearl Card, and the fares are 10% off.

4. There are fake monks in some temples in Beisi Pagoda and Dongxishan, who extort foreign tourists by telling fortunes and asking for fortunes.

5. Suzhou’s specialties are basically some silks and Suzhou-style candies and pastries. There are also some in front of the temple. For sweets and pastries, Caizhizhai, Daoxiangcun and Yeshouhe are the best, all on Guanqian Street. It is recommended to buy silk in large stores. Do not sell silk recommended by scalpers, drivers, or tricycle drivers. If you buy it for 200 yuan, it may only be worth 20 yuan, which is amazing! ! !

6. When you go out, don’t make yourself unhappy with your companions because of some trivial things. Ask for directions and make more preparations. It doesn’t matter if you are a little annoyed. Just be happy and travel freely.

Finally, I hope you have fun. . .
