When is the best time to visit Jiangnan? What is the approximate cost? Which places have the most beautiful scenery and the most water town characteristics?

In the off-season of tourism, it is more comfortable for people to see the scenery of water towns less, but it is colder in winter.

Travel places: Suzhou, Zhouzhuang, Tongli, Xitang, Wuzhen and Hangzhou.

Number of travelers: Walking alone.

Note: The general peak season of the ancient town is: 5. 1. 1. 1 during the Spring Festival.

All ancient towns have to collect tickets during the day, but it is very simple to evade tickets. Arriving at the ancient town after 5 pm, the comrades who checked in got off work.

The Classic Representative of Suzhou Gardens

Zhuo Zhengyuan: The largest garden in 25 yuan, with an area of 60 mu, is the most classic garden representative. The water in the garden is a pity for the balcony. It is necessary to walk around and put pictures everywhere.

Lion Forest:1The representative of rockery building in 5 yuan Garden is unique and compact, and it is estimated that 40 minutes is enough for the visit.

Liuyuan: the representative of Suzhou gardens, characterized by elegant, exquisite and unique indoor architecture.

Tiger Hill: One of the 25 scenic spots in Suzhou, you must go to Suzhou. Among them, the leaning tower of Tiger Hill, with an inclination of 2 meters, is a historical monument of 1000 years.

Shiyuan Wang: Gardens, landscapes, and staying in a garden are all similar.

Other scenic spots

Lotus ring: I suggest not to go. Compared with the clumsy political circles, it is simply unbearable.

Panmen scenic spot: the scenery is average, and the city gate.

Maple Bridge of Hanshan Temple: 34 Because of its poetic title, it is generally considered to be a real scene.

Suzhou water upstream: It is strongly recommended not to go, there is no scenery and the water is dirty.

2. The next day: 1.9 Get up at 7: 30 in the morning, watch Zhouzhuang Chen Chong and take photos. 10: 00 Go to Tongli by motorcycle. Visit the famous retreat garden, two pavilions and three bridges in Tongli, and have farmhouse meal at noon. Return to Suzhou by bus in the afternoon, and transfer to Jiashan at Wuxian Bus Station in Suzhou (the last bus leaves at 3: 30 pm, and there are two direct flights to Wuzhen every day, but I missed it). Jiashan bus goes to Xitang and stays in Xitang for the night.

Domicile: Xitang lives in Shende Hall (Ming Dynasty Landscape Mansion), with scenic spots below and accommodation upstairs. 30 yuan/day is cheaper, and the shower has heating, which is very comfortable. Suggestions.

Tel: 0573-4565896

Zhouzhuang: 60 yuan's ticket is a joint ticket. Personally, I think it's better to see the scenic spots than the small bridges and flowing water. I don't recommend buying it.

Tongli: Tickets are 50 yuan Joint Tickets.

Xitang: Tickets are 45 yuan Joint Tickets.

[Attractions Review]

Zhouzhuang: The evening and morning in Zhouzhuang are really beautiful, quiet, peaceful and harmonious. The smell of small bridges and flowing water in water towns is worth recommending. In the crowded season, it is estimated that everyone can see it. It's best to go to Xitang where there are few tourists. Personally, it is the most beautiful of the four ancient towns, and it is worthy of being the first water town in Jiangnan. Its disadvantage is that it has a strong commercial atmosphere. Every family in the commercial street does business and sells thousands of hooves.

Tongli: Personally, I think the scenery of the other two halls and three bridges is not worth mentioning at all, except the Garden of Retreat (if you have been to Suzhou Garden, you can go back to Siyuan), which wastes expression.

Xitang: There are few tourists and it is famous for its misty and rainy covered bridges, 1000 meters. The charm of the water town is very strong, and the business atmosphere is better than Zhouzhuang, which is worth visiting.

All the ancient towns are quiet at night, and there is basically no nightlife. They go to bed at 8 o'clock and watch TV. There are many old people and they are suitable for providing for the elderly.

3. The third day: 1. 10 Get up, watch the quiet morning in Xitang, walk along the ancient bluestone road, and watch the small bridge flowing under the bridge, the essence of the water town-the morning is so beautiful. After taking the photo, go straight to the last ancient town Wuzhen. Take a bus from Xitang to Jiaxing. Jiaxing has a through train to Wuzhen 65438+ 0:40 pm, or take a bus to Tongxiang and then take a bus to Wuzhen. After arriving in Wuzhen, I bought tickets for 45 yuan and visited the newly-built scenic spots in Wuzhen (Wuzhen was built with an investment of 80 million yuan two years ago). The so-called scenic spots are not beautiful at all, and they are not interesting at all. However, the scenery of Wuzhen's water town is good, so stay in Wuzhen for one night.

Xitang-> Jiaxing 7 yuan 50 minutes.

Jiaxing-> Tongxiang 8 40 minutes

Tongxiang-> Wuzhen 4.5 20 minutes

Eat: just so-so, not expensive.

Accommodation: There are many, you can stay in the residents' homes in Wuzhen Scenic Area for 30/ day, but the showers here are all solar, and there is too little hot water in winter.

Specialty: Sister-in-law's cakes and tea are not delicious.

Wuzhen: Tickets for 45 yuan are combined.

[Attractions Review]

Xitang: The morning in Xitang is very good and beautiful. Living in Shende Hall is very leisurely. The boss is very nice. There are four rooms. Call ahead, or there won't be any. I met four people from Taiwan Province province. I heard that I lived in Xitang for four days and didn't want to move. I didn't even want to go to Hangzhou, so I went straight back to Taiwan Province Province.

Wuzhen: The scenery is not bad, but it is a pity that Dongjie invested 80 million yuan to repair the original building. I also saw the original scene of West Street, which hasn't started yet. It's broken and ugly, and the river is dirty. I don't want to go to West Street. The scenic spots of East Street tickets are really not worth seeing. Dongjie street section is estimated to be about 100 meter, which will be completed soon.

4. The fourth day: 1. 1 1 Get up, watch the morning in Wuzhen, drink chrysanthemum tea, pat the scenery in the morning, and then take a bus to Hangzhou. Arrive in Hangzhou at noon, take a bus to the West Lake, take a trip to Su Causeway, see the lonely mountain, Bai Causeway, the broken bridge and watch the sunset in the West Lake. It's really beautiful. The cheapest place to stay in Zhejiang University Guest House is 50 yuan/person, with public hot water for bathing. I feel ok, and the hygiene is average.

Wuzhen-> Hangzhou 22 1 hour

Eat: just so-so, not expensive.

Residence: Zhejiang University Guest House, near Yuquan, at the end of No.28 Road. 50 yuan/Standard Room 128, other places see 35 yuan, Yan 'an Road Guest House, but I don't know about health and safety. Zhejiang University feels ok.

Specialty: famous tea lion peak Longjing, silk, freshwater West Lake pearl.

[Attractions Review]

Hangzhou: Su Causeway, it's good to see the lonely mountain, Bai Causeway, the broken bridge and the sunset on the West Lake. Suggest a walk. The most beautiful days in the West Lake are from March to April (willow green and peach red), and the lotus flowers are in full bloom in summer.

Su Causeway: There are six bridges. Locals call it lovers' dike. From time to time, they will see couples walking together and riding a tandem car. It is said that husband and wife walk hand in hand through six bridges, and lovers walk hand in hand until they are old. They will never leave each other, and they can't get rid of it if they want to. If a man goes with a man, it's hard to say, hehe. ....

5. Day 5: 1. 12 Zhejiang University Guest House gets up, takes Line 5 to Yun Qi Bamboo Trail, climbs Wuyun Mountain, goes down to Jiuxi, takes Jiuxi Eighteen Creeks, arrives at Longjing Village, and goes to the farmer to ask for tea, drink tea and buy tea. Finally, Longjing asked for tea, took a bus back to Su Causeway, went boating on the West Lake with people, went to Santan to visit Zhou Xiaoying. No lotus, only water, and finally returned to Su Causeway. Then go to Su Causeway, take a bus to the lakeside, and have tea at the Hubin Mansion on Hubin Road in the evening. The atmosphere, environment and night view of the West Lake are all good. In the evening, take a walk along the south line of Yanxihu Lake, including Changqiao Park, Willow Warbler and Old People Park, and spend the night in Zhejiang University Guest House.

Some scenic spots and routes of the West Lake: I suggest that you must buy the latest version of the map of Hangzhou and decide your own route arrangement according to the bus routes on the map. That's how I play.

Yun Qi Bamboo Trail: 8 yuan

Nine streams and eighteen streams: no tickets.

Peasant Tea: 300 yuan/Jin Shifeng Longjing (good tea is clear and yellow before Qingming, very fragrant, and I like drinking tea). It is estimated that it can be bargained to 200 yuan.

Boating in the West Lake: public motorboat 35/ person, manpower wooden boat 4 160/2 hours. It is suggested that wooden boats have flavor.

Zhou Xiaoying: No matter whether you go or not in winter, there is nothing to see without lotus flowers.

Lake House: Tea, 80 yuan/person, a little expensive, but it includes three kinds of tea+16 kinds of refreshments. I eat it for dinner and taste three different teas (any teahouse at least 15 yuan). I think it is very affordable and the environment is good. I recommend it.

Eat: just so-so, not expensive.

[Attractions Review]

Yun Qi Bamboo Trail: It's very quiet. It is a good choice for people who like cleanliness. Thousands of bamboos stretch along the path, which is very delicious. I like it.

Nine streams and eighteen streams: April -65438+ 10, especially when it rains a lot. This is a winding path for half an hour, with a stream beside it. It's interesting when there's plenty of water. This season is nothing.

Farmers ask for tea: Be sure to taste the tea grown by authentic farmers. It is said that this tea is good. Before Qingming 1, 300/ kg, give it to the national leaders for drinking.

Boating in the West Lake: Must play. Very comfortable.

Drinking tea at lakeside residence: recommended. The environment and atmosphere are first-class, suitable for couples.

Go along the south line of the West Lake: It will be rebuilt here in the south of the West Lake, but the night view is beautiful. There is a big colorful fountain in the middle of the lake, which is 20-30 meters high and beautiful. Along the way, there were couples on every bench by the lake. I think the West Lake should be called Lover Lake.

I didn't go to Leifeng Tower, Nanping Night Bell and other places to get tickets. Leifeng Tower was built in 27 years, and now it is newly built in 1999. I heard that Huanglong Cui Tu, Wu Shan Tianfeng, Jade Emperor Quanfei and so on. I don't usually go.

6. Day 6: 1. 13 Get up and check out at Zhejiang University Guest House. Go to Lingyin Feilai Peak in Hangzhou with a history of 1000 years. After swimming at noon, go to Zhiwei Pavilion on Le Tong Road for lunch. After dinner, visit Yan 'an Road and Jiefang Road. The train returned to Shanghai at 3: 30, and the whole tour was over.

[Related information]

Tickets for Lingyin Feilaifeng entered 20 yuan.

The receipt of Lingyin Temple 15 yuan.

Eat: Hangzhou's famous Zhiwei restaurant is very popular, clean and delicious. I suggest you try.

Shopping: Hangzhou Commercial Street is Yan 'an Road and Jiefang Road. It is said that there is a silk market on Jiankang West Road, where silk is half cheaper than other places. There are many bars on Nanshan Road, so you can go for a dip.

[Attractions Review]

Hangzhou: Lingyin Temple in Feilaifeng has a long history, full of incense, and many pilgrims, including Tianwang Pavilion, Daxiong Hall, Pharmacist Hall and Sutra Pavilion. Feilai peak is very short, so you don't need to go up. Suggest going to Taoguang. It takes more than 800 meters to climb the North Peak. At the top of the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of the West Lake and Hangzhou attractions. I usually go.

Final summary:

1. There are six ancient water towns in the south of the Yangtze River: Zhouzhuang near Suzhou, Tongli, (Lu: that word doesn't exist), Xitang, Wuzhen and Nanxun in Zhejiang. Zhouzhuang and Tongli are very close (Tongli is not recommended, the scenery is average). Wuzhen and Nanxun are very close, both within 20 kilometers.

As far as the four ancient towns I have personally visited are concerned, Zhouzhuang and Xitang are relatively beautiful, especially Xitang, with relatively few tourists and weak commercialization, which is not worth mentioning. When I think of those so-called two halls, three bridges are full of vitality, which is not worth seeing at all. The commercialization of Wuzhen is also not strong, because the tourism company forcibly refused to open a shop. However, it feels too small. West Street has not been repaired yet, which is a little smaller than Zhouzhuang. The building was invested in the later period, and it is not a historic site. Of course, not all the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River will go. It is better to stay in a representative ancient town for two more days, and the scenery of basic bridges and flowing water is similar.

Deer (Lu: That word doesn't exist) Wisdom: No.

Nanxun: It is famous for its culture and history. There are the famous Liuluoguo Library Pavilion and Xiaolianzhuang. It is said that indoor buildings are beautiful.

2. Suzhou's humble political circle, Tiger Hill is good, especially the humble political circle is so beautiful.

Hangzhou West Lake has a great influence on me. It's beautiful. Sunset on the West Lake, walking in Bai Causeway and Su Causeway, admiring Hangzhou people. There is a West Lake in the city center. After being blessed, I will go again when I have the chance.
