From Xi'an to Hangzhou, I want to see West Lake and Wuzhen Xizha. How can I arrange it in a time-saving and affordable way?

hoho, please answer your question carefully.

My family is in Xi'an and I work in Hangzhou. It is not cost-effective to take the train from Xi'an to Hangzhou. It takes a whole day to take two local trains. Days, I suggest planes.

First of all, let’s talk about accommodation. If you only stay for one night (if you only go to West Lake and Wuzhen), a budget hotel with a cost of 200~300 is more convenient. If you stay for a long time, it is recommended to go to a scenic spot a little further away. To find a youth hostel, you can consult online. The more famous one I know is Jiangnanyi Youth Hostel on Manjuelong Road. You must book the hotel in advance. Also, if you go to Wuzhen, you can join a local group of 80 per person without food, and tours depart every day. , you can take a bus at Huanglong Tourist Distribution Center.

As for the itinerary, it’s better to take the first flight at 8 a.m., it’s cheaper if it’s not late, and book a return ticket at around 8 p.m. the next day. After getting off the plane, take the airport bus to the terminal of Wulinmen, which costs 20 yuan. There are many budget hotels near Wulinmen. There is Yilai Four Seasons at the nearest Wulin intersection. Check online and book in advance.

It was already past noon, so I had a meal at my grandma’s house in Block A of the Hangzhou Building next door. It cost 40 yuan per person. You might have to queue up, but it’s famous. There are also grandma’s in Blocks C and D. I recommend the tea-flavored chicken and coral shrimp.

After lunch, take a walk and take K102 at Wulin Road Changhua Xincun Station and get off at the Dongpo intersection of Qingchun Road. Walk west for 5 minutes and you will see the West Lake immediately. There is a West Lake Ferry next to it. You can take a boat to the island in the center of the lake to see the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon. Along the way, you can see Leifeng Pagoda and Gemstone Mountain. It costs about 45 per person. When you return to the island in the center of the lake, you can sit at the Yuemiao Temple, which is the north entrance of Su Causeway. At this time, you can choose to go there from From Sudi, walk to the south bank of West Lake and watch fish in Huagang. You can also walk eastward along Beishan Road to Baidi and Broken Bridge. It is recommended to go to Broken Bridge. It is convenient to return to the hotel after a while. It takes about 2 or 3 hours to go around the entire West Lake. , if you want to visit more scenic spots, it is best to rent a bicycle, which costs 10 yuan an hour, but you will not be able to pay it back if you borrow it; free public bicycles in Hangzhou require a temporary card and a deposit of 300, which is actually inconvenient if you come for a short time. Suppose we are at Broken Bridge now and the time is 6 pm. Don’t even think about taking a taxi. There are enough people on Broken Bridge that the bridge can be broken. It is recommended to continue walking east along Beishan Road for 5 minutes and cross Huancheng West Road. There is the famous Bailu Restaurant in Hangzhou in a small alley. It has the same concept as grandma’s restaurant at noon. It is cheap and delicious and there is a queue. It is recommended to get a number and then go to Wulin Road. Go shopping in a clothing store to look at beauties. Come back in an hour. It doesn't matter if you passed the number. Just give it to the waiter. I recommend the egg yolk steak. It’s about 8 o’clock after dinner, and it’s more convenient to take a taxi. If you like shopping, go to the Wushan Night Market near the entrance of Guanxiang, Jiefang Road. It’s like the Tanshi Street Night Market in Xi’an before. I recommend Hangzhou Tower as a shopping mall. It’s close to the hotel anyway. close.

Let’s just do this on the first day. Go to Wuzhen on the second day. Go out early in the morning, store your large luggage at the hotel, check out, and take a taxi to Huanglong Tourism Distribution Center, 11 yuan. Wuzhen Xizha is a quick way to get around, just walk around the streets of the water town. The specialties are mutton and white chrysanthemum. You can buy everything, so don't be fooled. The newly developed Dongzha just treats it as a resort.

It was around 5 o'clock when I came back in the afternoon. After picking up my luggage at the hotel, I took the airport bus at Wulin Gate and retreated.

If you don’t understand, just ask, haha.
