I plan to go from Guangzhou to West Lake and Xitang in Hangzhou, which way should I go? How much does it cost? What is the best way to arrange the route?

Guangzhou-Shanghai air ticket price: 460

Guangzhou-Hangzhou air ticket price: 434

If you don’t want to go to Shanghai, you’d better fly to Hangzhou directly. After arriving at Hangzhou Airport You can take the airport bus directly to the train station, which is the city center, which is very convenient. If you are in Hangzhou, it is recommended to stay in a youth hostel. There are several along the West Lake. If you like something more lively, you can choose Hangzhou International on Nanshan Road. The environment is very good and the lake is right outside your door. If you like something quieter, you can stay at Jiangnanyi on Hupao Road. The environment is very quiet and the private cuisine is very good. In youth hostels, standard rooms or single rooms range from 100 to 200 yuan, and beds in multi-person rooms are very cheap, priced at 40 to 50 yuan. You can also meet many playmates from all over the world. If you like to make friends, you might as well stay in a multi-person room, which is cost-effective and fun.

Consumption in Hangzhou is not high. My suggestion is to rent a bicycle to go around the West Lake. The deposit seems to be 300, which will be refunded to you when you leave. Basically, you don’t need any money in the process, which is very convenient. In my impression of the West Lake attractions, I only remember that Leifeng Pagoda and Santan Yingyue are charged. If you are not very interested, you can selectively ignore them. It is worth mentioning that Xixi Wetland is very good, 5 kilometers away from the West Lake Scenic Area.

It is very convenient to get to Xitang from Hangzhou. Taking the bus from the Passenger Transport Center seems to cost only 20 or 30 yuan. You can buy tickets at the post office, and there are many buses a day. My suggestion is to take the morning bus, which takes about an hour and a half. You can look for a place to stay when you arrive at noon. If you have contacted the accommodation before, they can pick you up without charging a ticket. The accommodation in Xitang is basically characterized by unique folk houses. The price of a room with a carved king bed ranges from more than 120 to 200, so you can try it out. Of course, there are also two very good youth hostels that provide dormitory rooms for 40 to 50 people. There are some scenic spots in Xitang that you must have tickets to see. It depends on your own interest. I personally don’t think it’s very interesting.

After strolling around in the afternoon, Xitang is characterized by bars in the evening. There are many bars. Hongting has a good reputation. You can join in the fun and experience the bar atmosphere of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Be sure to get up early the next day. Xitang is the most beautiful in the early morning before the passenger flow arrives. It would be a pity if you miss it. The consumption in Xitang is not very high, so there is no need to worry. You can buy some local specialty snacks, gorgon cake, to try. The walnuts taste very good.

You can also take a bus directly to Hangzhou from Xitang, then go to the airport and return to Guangzhou, that's it.

In general, it depends on how many days you plan to stay. Accommodation is calculated as 60 yuan per day, which is only 240 for four days. The food is not too expensive, so 30 yuan a day can be solved, and it is only 120 for four days. . There are no other expenses, right? Excluding travel expenses, it costs five to six hundred yuan. Of course, if you want to play HIGH and buy some souvenirs, you may need seven or eight hundred, but you can definitely get it within one thousand. Ah, self-service is very cheap, hehe.

It is recommended that if you are alone, stay in a youth hostel. You can meet many friends, listen to their experiences, and eat and play together.

Have a good time~
