What should I pay attention to when traveling to Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai in early November? Thank you

You can refer to the self-guided tour itinerary of five cities and one town in East China that we went to last time

Nanjing tour

At 8 a.m. on August 11, our group Four people went to Nanjing.

Our first destination is Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. It is necessary to visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. The place we live in belongs to the Zhongshan Scenic Area and is relatively close to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. A taxi cost less than 10 yuan. When buying tickets at the door, as a friend told us in advance, we brought a one-inch photo so that we can apply for an annual pass (50 yuan), which covers at least the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Tomb, Linggu Temple, and Purple Mountain Observatory. If you buy tickets alone, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum alone costs 40 yuan, so it is very cost-effective to buy an annual pass. The overall architecture of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is majestic and leaves a deep impression on people. It is a scenic spot worth seeing. After leaving Zhongshan Mausoleum, we went to Ming Xiaoling Tomb and Linggu Temple. These three attractions are located in Zhongshan Scenic Area and can be reached by taking Tour 1 or Tour 3. It was almost 5 o'clock when we came out of Linggu Temple. We took Tour 2 and rushed to Yuhuatai. The two scenic spots were far apart. It was almost 5:30 when we arrived at Yuhuatai. The scenic spot was closed, so we took pictures at the entrance of the scenic spot but did not go in. Then we took a taxi to Confucius Temple, which is a famous place in Nanjing that integrates snacks, leisure and entertainment. Moreover, the famous Qinhuai River surrounds the Confucius Temple. Ancient literati and brothel beauties often rowed boats on the Qinhuai River, drank wine and composed poems, which was very pleasant. So when you come to Nanjing, you must visit Confucius Temple. We found an antique shop and ordered some local specialty snacks: "Fried field snails" are slightly spicy and have a great taste; "Yuhua stone glutinous rice balls" look exactly like the rain flower stones sold in the street outside, and they are so lifelike. It also tastes good; the "Siomai" stuffed with wild vegetables also tastes good. Later, we ordered "Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup" from another food stall restaurant. It cost 3 yuan/bowl, which was not expensive at all. Except for me, the other three of us all eat spicy food, and they put red in the soup. Everyone was sweating profusely after eating the spicy food, and they looked so happy, which made me so envious. After dinner, it was already around 6 or 7 o'clock. It was already dark, and the lights around the Confucius Temple were all on. The four of us rented a pedal boat for a night tour of the Qinhuai River (it seemed to be 20 yuan/ Half an hour) Get ready to experience the "Qinhuai River in the sound of oars and lights and shadows". During the boating process, it also started to rain lightly. Boating in the light wind and drizzle was really unique. After rowing, we took a taxi back to our accommodation, then went back to take a shower and rest. The first day of the trip was over.

Our travel plan for the next day is to take a ferry to see the Yangtze River, the Second Yangtze River Bridge and the Yangtze River Bridge. This route was recommended by a friend and it feels good. You can also try this route when you arrive in Nanjing. It is definitely a route that travel agencies do not offer. We woke up in the morning and checked into the room, took the bus to the train station, and stored our luggage. Take bus No. 8 at the train station (a very shabby minibus, privately operated, but it doesn’t kill people) to Yanziji, and it takes about half an hour to arrive at the station. After arriving at the station, it rained lightly that morning and the road was very muddy. We found a "motorcycle taxi" to take us to the entrance of Yanziji Park (actually it takes less than 3 minutes to walk, so if the road is not bad, we can just walk). The entrance fee to Yanziji Park is 6 yuan per person. In fact, the park is very small, and the main part is a hill near the Yangtze River. We all felt that the 6 yuan entrance fee was too high. However, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River from the top of Yanziji Park. We stayed in the park for about half an hour, exited the park, turned into an alley, and walked for about 3 minutes to the ferry ticket office. The ferry we took was from Yanziji on this side of the Yangtze River to Baguazhou, a small island on the opposite side of the river. The ferry is not a tourist route, but a local means of transportation. There are only a few ferries throughout the day, namely 8:00, 11:00, 14:00, and 17:00. We caught the 11 o'clock boat. You can see the Second Bridge not far away from the ship, and as the ship gets closer, you can see it more and more clearly. The Second Yangtze River Bridge is a modern bridge and very beautiful. After arriving at Baguazhou on the other side, we did not go ashore because we heard from the crew that there was nothing to do on the island. Moreover, once we went ashore, we would have to catch the 2pm boat back, and we had our own plans, so we did not go ashore. Take the boat back to Yanziji along the same route. Our next destination is the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. The specific route is: take bus 8 back, get off at the central gate, transfer to bus 15 and get off at Nanqiaobao. You can go directly to Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge from Nanqiaobao Park, but the entrance fee is 5 yuan, which makes us very angry. Many scenic spots in Nanjing are not big, but the fees are very expensive. However, we can understand the fees for scenic spots and historical sites, but the park should be for public welfare, and it is really unacceptable that the fees are so high. A motorcycle driver came up outside the park and said we didn't need to buy a ticket to get us in. The fare was 10 yuan. We weighed it and agreed. The motorcycle taxi took us in from a side road without buying a ticket. In fact, it's very close. The locals use the side road to enter, but we didn't know. We felt fooled and finally gave the driver 5 yuan for the fare. You can take the elevator to the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge for 2 yuan/person, or you can also walk up slowly (about 6 floors). The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is naturally not as modern and beautiful as the Second Bridge, but it is full of simplicity and majesty. The bridge is engraved with the words "The people, and only the people, are the driving force for creating world history" written by Chairman Mao. The red flags and sculptures on the top of the bridge and some pictures on the bridge retain the revolutionary characteristics of the 1950s.

The Yangtze River Bridge was built in the 1950s and took half a century, but its construction technology and construction quality can be said to be first-class today. We can't help but have deep respect for this great project. After visiting the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, we took a bus from the bridge back to the train station and prepared to go to Wuxi (there are many trains from Nanjing to Wuxi, so you can buy them now). This is the end of our trip to Nanjing.

Wuxi Tour

We arrived in Wuxi by train on the evening of August 12th. Wuxi gave us a very good first impression. Wuxi Railway Station is very clean and beautiful. There are many high-rise buildings and wide roads near the train station. We didn't expect Wuxi to be such a modern and clean city. We stayed at the Taishan Hotel opposite the train station. The standard room was 120 yuan/day. The conditions were not bad and the price was reasonable. Our plan was to visit Yuantouzhu in Taihu Lake the next morning. Yuantouzhu is the most beautiful place in Taihu Lake. When it comes to the word "韼", so-called "advanced intellectuals" like us don't know how to pronounce it. We think that the pronunciation of "turtle" should actually be pronounced as "yuan".

When I woke up early the next morning, it was raining heavily. We rushed to the bus station with umbrellas to prepare to take the sightseeing line. However, when we arrived at the station, we were told that due to road construction, the sightseeing line could not reach Yuantouzhu. At this time, there was a minibus parked at the No. 1 station, and an old man about 50 years old solicited customers at the door, "No. 1, No. 1, go directly to the pier." We asked about the price and it was 5 yuan per person. Although it felt very expensive, we thought about a netizen’s post saying that it takes 40 minutes to walk from the park entrance to the cruise ship pier. If you take the park bus, it is 6 yuan per person. . So if you want to drive to the pier, it costs 5 yuan, which is reasonable. Plus it was raining outside, so we got in the car without giving it a second thought. Little did he know that he would be on a pirate ship. Approaching the entrance of the park, the old man soliciting business stood up again and said: "There are two types of tickets for the scenic spot, one is 50 yuan, and the other is 65 yuan. The 65 yuan ticket includes the boat ticket, and the 50 yuan ticket does not. You have to buy another ticket. A one-way ticket is 20 yuan. If you buy a 65 yuan ticket, just give me the money and I will buy it for you. You can get to the pier smoothly and take the park bus back if you buy it. If it's 50 yuan, the ticket seller at the AD gate won't let you take our bus in." After all, what he meant was that everyone had to buy the 65 yuan ticket, and they had to give him the money to buy it. If you don't buy it for him, you have to get off. The old man's words are very deceptive, and it is easy for people who don't understand the truth to be fooled. Everyone thinks that he just wants to earn a commission, so he can buy whatever he wants, so most of them pay him. In fact, the 50 yuan ticket also includes the boat ticket, and the 65 yuan ticket includes two services: first, you can take a speedboat, and second, you can take the scenic spot for free on the long road from the park entrance to the pier. car. We originally planned to buy a 50 yuan ticket, and we had to fight with the driver to make him take us to the pier as originally promised, otherwise we would be refunded 5 yuan for the fare. But the two men wanted to experience the excitement of riding on a speedboat, and because they thought "it's not easy to get off a pirate ship", they handed over the money together, so we had no choice but to forget it. But he secretly took a photo of the car's license plate number with a digital camera and prepared to file a complaint against him later. Since we bought a 65 yuan ticket, of course we had to take a speedboat to Taihu Fairy Island, but the speedboat is closed, just like taking the subway, which is not exciting at all, so the first service of 65 yuan has little value. When we boarded Taihu Fairy Island, it was drizzling in the sky. On a shore near the lake, there were flocks of swallows flying in the air. The scene was very spectacular. I had never seen so many birds flying in the air. Although the Taihu Fairy Island is not big, the scenery is very beautiful. Visitors who get involved in it really feel like they have entered a fairyland. So when you arrive in Wuxi, you must go to Yuantouzhu in Taihu Lake. We stayed at Taihu Fairy Island until about 2 pm and took a boat back to the dock. We thought that with the 65 yuan ticket, we could take the park bus from the pier to the park entrance for free. Who would have thought that when we took out the ticket, it was not recognized. The people in the park said that your ticket came in by private car and we could not ride on it. Our public car costs 6 yuan per person. We argued with them, but later we found out that the 65 yuan ticket in our hands was different from the 65 yuan ticket sold by the park. Our 65 yuan ticket could not take the park's free bus. Only then did we realize that we had been deceived by that private minibus again. We spent more money but did not enjoy the service we deserved. We were very angry and walked back to the pier, cursing the private minibus and the deceitful old man all the way. But if you think about it carefully, the park itself is also responsible for this matter. Why are there two different 65 yuan tickets? In fact, people inside the park secretly colluded with private companies to deceive tourists. This is very unethical. When we first arrived in Wuxi, we had a good impression of Wuxi, but this time we were deceived and our good impression of Wuxi was completely wiped out.

We hope that Wuxi’s tourism management department will rectify these phenomena that have seriously damaged Wuxi’s tourism image. At the same time, we also remind tourists traveling to Wuxi not to trust private minibuses. Take public buses to tourist spots, go to the ticket office to inquire about the situation and buy tickets, and do not let private minibuses buy tickets for you. If you are not afraid of walking the long road from the scenic spot gate to the pier when going to Yuantouzhu (about 40 minutes), just buy a 50 yuan ticket.

After returning from Yuantouzhu, we took the bus to eat wontons and steamed dumplings from the famous Wang Xingji in Wuxi. The xiaolongbao was good, but the wontons were average. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we rushed to Suzhou by car (Wuxi is very close to Suzhou, about an hour by car), and the trip to Wuxi ended.

Suzhou Tour

We arrived in Suzhou at around 5pm on August 13th. We stayed at the Railway Hotel near the train station. The standard room was 200 yuan/day. With half the price, we got it to 80 yuan/day. The reason why we chose to live near the train station is that it is not far from the Humble Administrator's Garden and Tiger Hill where we will go the next day. Second, we will take the train to Hangzhou the next afternoon, so it is more convenient to live here. convenient. Our first impression of Suzhou is that it is relatively quaint, and its houses are not too high, which is completely different from the modern feel of Wuxi. After putting down our luggage, we took a taxi to Suzhou Xueshi Street, which is a famous snack street in Suzhou. As soon as we got off the bus, we saw the goal of our trip. The big signboard of "Xu? Weiguai Lobster Shop" stood at the intersection of the street. "Xu?" We think the word "Yutai" should be read as "Yutai", but in fact it should be "Xuyu", which is a place name. This trip introduced us to many Chinese characters that are difficult to pronounce. "Xu? Weiguai Lobster Shop" is very famous for its lobsters. The main store was already full when we arrived, so we had to go to the branch. After a short time, the branch was also full, which shows that its business is really good. We ordered a portion of "Thirteen Fragrances" for 40 yuan/portion. A small pot of about 25 lobsters was served, and we ordered other dishes, which was just right for four people. The lobster here lives up to its reputation. It feels spicy on the lips, but not in the throat. I rarely eat spicy food, but this time I enjoyed it very much. It is highly recommended that friends who visit Suzhou must try the crayfish here! After dinner, we walked around for a while, then took a taxi back to rest and prepare to visit Suzhou Gardens the next day.

The next day, it was raining lightly. During our trip to the south of the Yangtze River, more than half of the weather was rainy. It was truly a "travel to the south of the Yangtze River in the rain." Since it was very close to the Humble Administrator's Garden, we gave up taking the car and took a long walk there with umbrellas. The houses in Suzhou are all antique, and even the train stations are in antique style. The Humble Administrator's Garden is in a small alley, and the ticket price is 45 yuan. The Humble Administrator's Garden is not big, it is a private garden, but the whole garden is very exquisite. We walked around the rockery and suddenly our eyes lit up. We saw ponds full of lotus flowers in the water, and white and pink oleander flowers on the bank were in full bloom. , coupled with the surrounding pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions, it is simply a small paradise. Seeing this, we can't help but envy the owner of this garden. It is a great blessing to be able to cultivate one's moral character here. The Humble Administrator's Garden is a treasure of Chinese garden art, so it is worth a visit. It is best to travel with a group and listen to the tour guide's explanations. After leaving the Humble Administrator's Garden, we took Tour 2 and headed to Tiger Hill. The ticket for Tiger Hill was 30 yuan, which felt too expensive. Huqiu is the place where King Wu Chai Chai buried his father. I thought I would see a big tomb, but I didn't see anything. What is more interesting is the Tiger Hill Tower, which has a very ancient history. The tower is tilted but does not fall down. It is a veritable "leaning tower". After coming out of Huqiu, we had a quick meal in a small shop, then rushed to the train station and took the afternoon train to Hangzhou. Our trip to Suzhou ended. It is recommended that if you have time, you can find an old street and walk around to experience the simplicity of Suzhou. Suzhou people also left a good impression on us. Both the hotel front desk and taxi drivers were very civilized and patient in their manners and manners. This was better than Wuxi. We are worthy of being citizens of a tourist city.

Hangzhou Tour

It is said that "there is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below." After visiting Suzhou, our destination was naturally Hangzhou. We arrived in Hangzhou at around 8pm on August 15th. It took quite a while to find accommodation in Hangzhou. Having said all that, in the past few days, since we had made reservations on the Internet (/hotels/default.aspx?campaign_id=4051378) in advance, we basically did not consider accommodation issues, but we forgot to book in Hangzhou that day. The day we arrived was a Thursday, not the weekend yet, so most of the hotels we visited were fully booked, and no affordable and practical rooms were available. It took us more than an hour to find accommodation. This was the most difficult time for us to find accommodation during our trip. We stayed at the Dongpo Hotel near Yan'an Road, and the standard room was 260 yuan/day, which was relatively expensive among the cities we traveled to. It is recommended that friends traveling to Hangzhou arrange their accommodation in advance or book online, which may be more economical.

Our main attraction on the second day is naturally the West Lake. Originally, the place we lived was very close to the West Lake. We could see the West Lake within a few minutes' walk. But since the northern line is currently under construction, we took K4 and got off at Leifeng Pagoda Station. We took pictures with the Lei Feng Tower as the background and did not climb the tower. There is a fee to climb the tower, so there is no need. We walked forward for about 10 minutes and came to Su Causeway. Su Causeway is also called Lover's Causeway. Both sides of the embankment are planted with weeping willows, which are graceful and graceful. Looking around, you can see the West Lake, with rippling blue waves and dots of cruise ships. Walking on the embankment, I feel the breeze blowing on my face, which is indescribably comfortable. It is really a good place for lovers to talk about love. When traveling to the West Lake, you can take a public boat or rent a private boat. The public boat is a large ship and costs 35 yuan per person. The private boat is a small boat that can only accommodate 4 people (not counting the boatman). One boat costs about 160 yuan per hour. In the end, we rented a small boat because boating on the West Lake was still slow and artistic. Private boats in West Lake are all under unified management, with unified prices and unified services, so there is no need to worry about ripping off customers. Each boat is equipped with a boatman, who rows with a single oar and also acts as an attraction guide.

Our boatman was a simple and cheerful person. He explained to us, chatted with us, and joked with us. After a while, we fell in love with this boatman. The boatman's service attitude was very good. When we arrived at the famous "Three Tans Yinyue", he patiently adjusted the boat to a suitable position to facilitate our taking pictures. On the way back from the boat, the boatman pulled the boat to a shore and told us that there was a pearl store on the shore. The pearls on the market were wholesaled from here, so they were cheaper. Since pearls belong to the Three Treasures of Hangzhou (Hangzhou Three Treasures: Silk, Tea, and Freshwater Pearls), we went ashore to have a look. The pearl jewelry in this pearl shop is usually discounted by half, and the boatman said that it can even be discounted by 20 or 30%, but in the end, it turns out that it can be even cheaper. A pearl bracelet, originally priced at 760 yuan, I finally bought it for 100 yuan, which I feel is very worth it. After rowing, we felt hungry and it was time to have lunch. The "Lou Wai Lou" on the shore of the West Lake is very famous, but the boatman told us that the prices there are expensive and the service is not good enough. He suggested that we go to the New Kaiyuan Hotel, where we can eat Hangzhou specialties, and the taste is not bad at all. , but the price is much cheaper. Xinkaiyuan is not far from West Lake, and a taxi ride costs about 10 yuan. The New Kaiyuan Hotel is indeed good. It is decorated luxuriously and grandly. The restaurant on the second floor is very large and can accommodate dozens of tables. We ordered the famous local "Dongpo Pork", "Longjing Shrimp", etc., and felt that the "Dongpo Pork" was good; the "Longjing Shrimp" was just a few pieces of Longjing tea leaves sprinkled on the fried shrimps, and the taste was average; and there was also the "Cold Bamboo Shoots" "Pointy" and tastes very good. The four of us spent a total of nearly 100 yuan, which is really not expensive.

After dinner, we took a taxi to the East Bus Station and prepared to go to Wuzhen. The journey of Hangzhou is over. In just one day, Hangzhou left a very good impression on us. And from the ordinary Hangzhou citizens we met, we found that when Hangzhou people talk about Hangzhou, their tone is full of pride and pride as a Hangzhou person, which makes people admire and envy!

Wuzhen Tour

We went to Wuzhen mainly to see the typical Jiangnan water towns. At that time, we wanted to choose between Wuzhen and Xitang, but later we chose Wuzhen. Mainly because the name Wuzhen sounds quaint. Since one of our traveling companions had a fever and was seeking medical attention, we took a taxi to Hangzhou East Bus Station at 5 pm on August 16 to buy tickets to Wuzhen at 5:30 pm. But we didn’t expect that all the direct tickets to Wuzhen that day were sold out, so we had to buy tickets from Tongxiang and then take a taxi (costing 30 yuan) from Tongxiang to Wuzhen. Remind everyone: There are many people going to Wuzhen on weekends, so it is best to buy tickets and arrange accommodation in advance. We had dinner at a restaurant in Wuzhen. We ordered local specialties: duck in sauce (20 yuan), steamed fish (38 yuan), sister-in-law cake (10 yuan), etc. The prices were very expensive, but the taste was average. , my sister-in-law’s cake is too sweet. We also ordered fried field snails, but the taste was not as good as what we had in Nanjing. I guess it’s because people in small towns are not good at cooking. After dinner, we went for a walk in the scenic area. The scenic spot completely retains the layout of the ancient water town: a wide river in the middle, houses on both sides built along the river, and a small stone bridge connecting the two sides at some distance. The movie "Lost in Time" was filmed in Wuzhen. Many people came to Wuzhen because of this. It is said that this movie was very well shot and captured Wuzhen beautifully. Unfortunately, I have not seen it. I must look for it if I have the chance. look. There is an inn in the scenic area where the hero and heroine stayed during the filming of "In Time". From the outside, it looks more elegantly decorated than other houses. We asked about the price, and the standard room was actually 580/night. When we asked, we only There was only one couple room left, which cost 880/night. We secretly stuck out our tongues and marveled at the huge commercial value that movies have brought to Wuzhen. Wuzhen is very famous for its blue prints. It was already past 9pm when we went shopping, and most of the shops were closed, but a few were still open. We entered a small shop selling blue calico, and saw all kinds of blue calico handkerchiefs, clothes, skirts, fans, tablecloths, bags, and hats hanging all over the room, in different colors and styles. It was really beautiful. A few of us couldn't help but buy some floral fabrics as souvenirs. This kind of blue calico is particularly suitable for the quaint atmosphere of Wuzhen, but it will always feel a bit out of place when you bring it to the city. Wuzhen is like a silent giant at night. When you walk on the bluestone road by the river, you only feel that the surroundings are quiet, and the few lanterns above your head give off bright or dim light. Your heart is quiet, just like the river flowing quietly next to you. That feeling is something you can't experience in the city, and it's so beautiful that it's indescribable. We strolled around the scenic spot for about half an hour. We felt that the night was getting colder, so we went back to sleep and prepared to go to the scenic spot early the next day.

We got up early at 6 o'clock the next day, because the scenic spot charges 65 yuan for admission after 7 o'clock, which we thought was too expensive. Wuzhen is also very quiet in the early morning, but there are already early-rising women and old people washing their hands and clothes by the river. Half an hour later, the sun began to rise, the number of people on the road began to increase, and the quiet town began to become noisy. At this time, I feel that Wuzhen is no different from ordinary tourist attractions. I can never find the quiet feeling I had last night again. Therefore, it is recommended that friends who go to Wuzhen should stay in Wuzhen for one night and experience Wuzhen at night. We came out of the scenic spot at around 7 o'clock, and then took a tricycle to see the old streets of Wuzhen. (Back and forth with explanation, 1 hour, 20 yuan per car).

It is not a scenic spot yet, but according to locals, the government is preparing to demolish the old street and turn it into a scenic spot. This has caused dissatisfaction among many old residents. Walking on the narrow streets of the old street, there are vegetable sellers, fruit sellers, and daily necessities sellers on both sides of the street. You can also see the most ordinary teahouse: a shed, two or three tables and benches, where people sit. Together, drinking tea, chatting and watching TV... In short, if the scenic spot is an artistic Wuzhen, then the old street is the Wuzhen in life.

Wuzhen is not big, so half a day is enough to visit it. But Wuzhen is indeed a place worth visiting. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, we got on the bus to Shanghai, and the trip to Wuzhen ended here.

Shanghai Tour

This is not my first time going to Shanghai, and I am not very interested in it, so I will write this section briefly. We arrived in Shanghai at 5 pm on August 17, and then took a taxi to Fudan University in Shanghai. Our friend in Shanghai helped us book a train ticket back to Beijing at 7pm the next day. After 7pm, we took the No. 55 bus to the Bund. Because it was the weekend, and in this season, there were so many people on the Bund. . Due to the power shortage, the lights on the Bund were not fully lit, so it was not as beautiful as the Bund at night on TV. Later we went to visit Nanjing Road, and it was also crowded, just like there are always so many people whenever you go to Wangfujing in Beijing. However, Nanjing Road in Shanghai is longer than Wangfujing in Beijing, and the clothes are heavily discounted and the clothes look beautiful. I wanted to take a walk, but I was too tired to be interested. We were already very tired when we went back that night. Fortunately, there was no schedule to force us to get up early the next day, so we had a good sleep. This was the first time in the seven days of this trip that I was able to get a good night's sleep. But when I woke up the next day, I felt even more tired. Maybe my nerves and muscles had been too tight these past few days, and I couldn't adapt to the sudden relaxation. We checked out of the room at 12 noon, took a taxi to the train station and stored our luggage, and then we started to go our separate ways. We two girls went to the City God's Temple, and they two men went to the Financial Street, and we made an appointment to meet at the train station at 6 p.m. We took the 64 bus from the train station to the Chenghuang Temple, and the Chenghuang Temple was also full of people. We ate snacks at the Chenghuang Temple and strolled around for a while but found it boring, so we went shopping on Nanjing Road. It was cloudy in the morning, light rain started in the afternoon, and turned to moderate rain after 4 o'clock. We wanted to go back to the train station at 5:30, but we couldn't take a taxi on Nanjing Road. Later, we asked a local and he told us that the fastest way is to take the subway. Walk from Nanjing Road to People's Square and take Metro Line 1 to the train station. Fortunately, we took the subway and didn't delay our train. At 7 p.m., we took the train from Shanghai to Beijing and arrived in Beijing at 9 a.m. on August 18, thus ending our seven-day trip. I don’t have much feeling about Shanghai. It is just a modern city like Beijing.

Summary:

We spent approximately 1,500-1,600 on this self-occupied trip (not including the cost of shopping), which was slightly higher than the price quoted by the travel agency (the price quoted by the travel agency was around 1,200 ), but it’s better to play than to join a group. The overall itinerary was relatively reasonable and the money was spent wisely. The four people traveling together are very united and can work together, work together, and get things done together. And everyone has strong independent ability and does not cause trouble to the entire team. It is recommended that everyone make sufficient preparations before going on a self-guided trip, such as checking more relevant information, especially travel notes from netizens. Traveling in a group, preferably 4 people, will make it convenient to take a taxi and find accommodation.

Finally, I wish you all a good time!
