The whole garden has a sense of twists and turns, and the end of the road passes through another garden. The decoration in the garden is meticulous and exquisite, and even various small sculptures are designed on the roof, which is worth taking time to savor.

Highlight: Small train on Nanjing Road.

Because the pedestrian street is not allowed to open to traffic, there are "clang cars" on the street for people to ride. In fact, there is a bell in the car. As soon as the driver steps on the accelerator, the bell will sound "clang" to remind pedestrians to avoid, hence the name, 5 yuan's price is also very close to the people, which is a landscape on Nanjing Road. Tired of walking, it is also an experience to sit in the car and walk through the bustling crowd.

Ticket price: 5 yuan/person

It is also known as the World Architecture Expo Group, and dozens of foreign buildings with different styles are perfectly combined with Pudong modern buildings across the river.

Waibaidu Bridge, built at the intersection of Suzhou River and Huangpu River in Shanghai, is the largest steel frame bridge in Shanghai. This bridge bears witness to the history of Shanghai, and also bears the memory of the older generation of locals. You can have a panoramic view of the Bund and overlook the opposite Shanghai Building. Today, the Waibaidu Bridge still exudes charm, and many young men and women will choose to take wedding photos here. In addition, the Waibaidu Bridge has a mysterious and romantic atmosphere.

Lanting, as a "time-honored brand in Shanghai", has been to Michelin bibendum and is a local restaurant that Shanghainese like very much.

It is recommended that partners who want to taste authentic local dishes can come here.

At the end of the film Lust, Caution directed by Ang Lee, Yi was released, a rickshaw was called and he said, "Way to go!" . John Calvin Ferguson Road is now Wu Kang Road and the seat of the former French Concession. This is probably one of the most tasteful streets in Shanghai. Many celebrities and scholars have lived here, such as Soong Ching Ling, Ba Jin and Lu Xun. It is a veritable "celebrity road".

Wu Kang building

Wu Kang Mansion, located at the intersection of Huaihai Middle Road and Wu Kang Road, was built by the famous architect Hudac, also known as Normandy Apartment. From the side, it is like a huge ship waiting to set sail, quietly docked here, witnessing the changes of the times.

You can see the traces of their lives through the gate, and there are fireworks everywhere.

Day 3: Disney highlights: the fairy tale world that lights up girls' hearts

Day 4: Set out for Hangzhou. As the saying goes, "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". Hangzhou has been known as "paradise on earth" since ancient times. Today, I had a good sleep. I got up in the morning and took the high-speed train to Hangzhou. I was in a good mood all the way. It's noon in Hangzhou. Let's have lunch first and visit the West Lake Scenic Area in the afternoon.

13:00 West Lake Scenic Area

Highlight: "Hangzhou is the best of the 36 West Lakes in the world."

Su Shi once wrote, "If you want to compare with the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate." The beauty of the West Lake is that it is full of poetry all year round. Among them, one mountain, two towers, three islands, three dikes and five lakes are the basic pattern, and ten scenes of the West Lake are dotted among them, adding a touch of bright color to it.

Figure: Qu Yuan's wind load

How to get there: Take the subway 1 line to Longxiangqiao Station, walk 400 meters from the station to the West Lake, or take and swim 2 to Su Causeway Station; Take bus No.28, 15, and get off at Yuquan Station. No.27 and No.7 Moon Powder Station can be reached.

Admission: free.

Recommended tour route: Broken Bridge and Snow-Autumn Moon in Pinghu-Bai Causeway-Su Causeway-Fish Watching in Huagang-Leifeng Tower.

Tips:

To visit the West Lake, you can walk, take a boat, take a battery car, drive or ride a bike. Among them, the battery car is the most convenient and labor-saving, because the West Lake is too big, the battery car stops the waves, and the line just goes around the West Lake (10 yuan/section, 40 yuan/whole journey).

Broken bridge and residual snow

It is said that in the West Lake after the winter snow, the snow and ice on the sunny side of the bridge have melted, but the shady side is still covered with snow. Seen from a distance, the bridge seems to be broken in half, looming on the lake, so it is called "Broken Snow". In the folk story Legend of the White Snake, the love story between Xu Xian and the White Snake also happened here, which also added a lot of romance to this long bridge.

In the silver moonlight

West Lake in Hangzhou has always been the best place to enjoy the moon. At the western end of Bai Causeway, there is a long and narrow garden, which is the autumn moon in Pinghu, one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. Whenever it is clear and crisp in autumn, the West Lake is as calm as a mirror, the moon is in the sky, and the moonlight and the lake complement each other, which is quite a sense of "one lake is full of autumn", hence the name "Pinghu Qiuyue". Pinghu Qiuyuesan faces the water, so find a bench to sit here and overlook the lakes and mountains, with peace of mind.

This is really a beautiful scenery.

Bai Causeway

Bai Causeway's original name is Baishadi, and Bai Juyi's famous sentence "I love the lack of eastbound lakes, and Baishadi is under the shade of poplar trees" is here. Bai Causeway is broad and bright, with weeping willows in the inner layer and peach blossoms in the outer layer. Every March and April, the willow branches on the tree dance with the wind and are reflected on the lake, just like a gentle and shy woman standing by the lake, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is difficult to record the beauty of Bai Causeway with a camera, so you can only stroll here and savor it.

Su causeway

Su Causeway was built by dredging the West Lake when Su Shi was the magistrate of Hangzhou in the fifth year of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later generations named it "Su Causeway" to commemorate Su Dongpo's achievements in managing the West Lake. Today's Su Causeway is called "Xiao Chun, Su Causeway" because of its charming spring scenery, and has become the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. There are beautiful scenery on both sides of Su Causeway. Every spring and March, smoke becomes smoke. The waves lying on the long embankment connect the north and south mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake.

Huagang fish watching

Huagang Fish Watching is a scenic spot featuring flowers, harbor and fish. Because of the quiet scenery, the gathering of tourists is called "Flower Harbor Watching Fish". The whole park is divided into five scenic spots: Red Fish Pond, Peony Garden, Huagang, Big Lawn and Dense Forest. The most famous in the garden is the red carp in groups in the fish pond. Standing in the garden in the afternoon, I bought a bag of fish food to feed the passing fish, and looked at their wanton and cheerful figures, and the whole person became comfortable.

Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda

The Leifeng Pagoda was originally built by King wuyue to pray for the peace of the country and people. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese army besieged Hangzhou and set fire to the Leifeng Tower, leaving only the tower body. In the early Qing Dynasty, Leifeng Pagoda was widely known for its moving story in The Legend of the White Snake. In 2002, a new Leifeng Tower was built on the old site. Today, Leifeng Pagoda is opposite to the pagoda, and it has become one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake with its magnificent sunset scenery. Standing at the top of the tower, you can see the panoramic view of the West Lake.

Admission: Adult 40 yuan, half price for students and people over 70.

Opening hours: 08: 00-19: 00; Time to stop selling tickets: 18:30 (the specific time is subject to the scenic spot).

Music Fountain of West Lake in Hangzhou

The West Lake Music Fountain is located on the lake near Hubin Third Park. There are two performances every night, at 7 pm and 8 pm respectively. The duration is about 10 minute. If I have time, I suggest going to see it, but there are many people in line, but I can see it clearly from a distance. It is worth noting that there will be many people behind the music fountain, so pay attention to safety and avoid crowding.

Admission: free.

Opening hours:19: 00-19:15, 20: 00-20: 15.

Tips:

Two nights, three pieces of music every night.

Day 5: 08:30 Hangzhou Classic Lingyin Temple

Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Xihu District, Hangzhou, with its back to Beifeng and facing Feilai Peak. Feilaifeng has more than 380 Buddhist grottoes statues since the Five Dynasties. Lingyin Temple is located in Feilaifeng Scenic Area, which means that if you want to enter Lingyin Temple, you have to buy tickets for Feilaifeng first, and then buy tickets for Lingyin Temple.

Tickets for Feilaifeng: 45 yuan/person (not entering the temple) and Lingyin Temple: 30 yuan/person.

13:00 Xixi Wetland

When it comes to Xixi Wetland, everyone is familiar with it. It is a business card scenic spot in Hangzhou. However, the whole Xixi Wetland National Park is divided into east and west areas. The development and construction of the Eastern District is early, and it is the first and second phase of the project, which is under the jurisdiction of the Xihu District Government. The West District is the last phase of the third phase project, which can be said to be the final work of the wetland. It is really a place with few people and beautiful scenery.

Zuixi game

When you come to Xixi Wetland, you must experience the rowing boat (not the battery boat) rowed by the boatman. I had a nice trip.
