Travel guide around Jinhua Urgent!

Hello,

Travel guide around Jinhua:

Jinhua Shanghang-Jinhua Expressway arrives in Hangzhou, take National Highway 104 in the direction of Huzhou, pass Penggong and go towards Anji. Provincial Highway 04, directly to Anji.

Where to go: Zhuji, the hometown of Xi Shi

Lanxi - Zhuge Bagua Village: Remember to go left when you exit Lanxi Railway Station, and follow the cross-street road (but no more than a road) opposite the railway station to the left There is a bus stop about 20 to 30 meters away (the buses are all coin-operated. If you don’t have change, there is a small kiosk at this station where you can exchange change). Take bus No. 1 for 4 stops and get off at the West Passenger Transport Station. Cross the road and enter the passenger terminal. You don't need to buy a ticket at the ticket office. Go directly from Gate 4 of the waiting hall and take the minibus "Zhuge Bagua Village Tourist Line" (the one with a green banner above the windshield), get on the bus and buy a ticket. It costs 4 yuan. The bus leaves every 10 minutes and reaches Zhuge Village in less than 30 minutes. After getting off the bus, take the uphill road and walk for about 10 minutes to the back door of Zhuge Village. The so-called "back door" means there is a small booth to buy tickets, and an old man sits there to collect the tickets. As long as you don't look guilty, basically No one will stop you. The first pond you see when you walk in is "Shangtang". Tourists basically spend the night and eat in the houses around "Shangtang".

Ticket: 80 yuan, a bit expensive. If you just want to stroll around the village, you don’t need to buy tickets. However, attractions such as the Prime Minister's Shrine and the Grand Hall were not accessible. In the end, we bought tickets the next day in the spirit of "come here for a visit".

Attractions: There are nearly 10 scenic spots marked on the ticket, but I personally think there are only 4 worth seeing: Prime Minister’s Ancestral Hall, Dagong Hall, ancient residences (on the left of Dagong Hall), Tianyi Hall (Baicao Hall) Park), Bell Pond (no tickets required), as for other attractions, you can actually only take photos at the gate, and they are already exhibition halls inside. It’s best to take a group tour to visit the Prime Minister’s Ancestral Hall and the Grand Hall, as you won’t be able to afford the 80 yuan ticket if you see it for yourself. Zhongchi is the symbol of Bagua Village - Tai Chi Diagram. When I saw Zhongchi, I was actually a little disappointed. It was not as perfect as I imagined, and I couldn't take a complete photo (at least my point-and-shoot camera couldn't take it, This is a joke to all photography professionals), if you want to see the complete photo, you have to look at the one on the ticket. The Baicao Garden behind Tianyi Hall is the highest place in the village. It is a good place to take pictures. All Chinese medicinal materials are grown in it.

Accommodation: We stayed in the Garden Apartment in Tianyitang, 2 people, 100 yuan a night, guest house standard, don’t have too high expectations. It is best to live on the second or third floor, so that you can see the Herb Garden outside the window. After checking in, remember to turn on the electric water heater in the bathroom first, otherwise you won't have hot water to take a shower when you come back from shopping and dinner. We also had an unpleasant episode, because there were students from Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts checking in together the next day, and the boss actually asked us to check out at 6 a.m. the next morning. After negotiation, we finally agreed to check in at 10 a.m. Check out before. There are other residential houses around where you can stay. According to other travel reports, the price is about 60 yuan. We have not inquired about it and have no say.

Eating: There are several restaurants serving farm food around "Shangtang". We had dinner on the first day and breakfast on the second day at the "Ancient Street Restaurant". The boss, whose surname is Xu, is very welcoming. After we were kicked out early from the Garden Apartment the next day, our luggage was left there. The food is cooked by the owner's father. If you have a lighter taste, remember to remind the owner to cook it lighter. In my personal opinion, the food is really a bit salty. Three dishes and one soup for the two of us cost 50 yuan each, which is moderately cost-effective. Eating by the water in the evening. When dusk falls, red lanterns will be lit all around Shangtang. The boss lit red candles on our table. It was not yet completely dark at that time. The outlines of the surrounding ancient buildings together with a series of red lanterns and reflections in the water It really made us excited.
