I believe that most people have a dream, that is, one day to be able to go on a trip.
This is also the first inter-provincial freedom trip in my life, and I really feel it deeply, and I can't help but want to share it.
Because it was the first time to travel far away, I was not familiar with the places I went, so I searched for a lot of guides on the Internet in advance**, and probably formulated a travel route, but in the end it turned out that the strategy did not play a big role, perhaps because the strategy was not done well.
Originally, the purpose of tourism was located in Yunnan, because it is now the Spring Festival, the weather is still quite cold, Yunnan has four seasons like spring Dali, the scenery is attractive Banna, and there is a gorgeous and dazzling sunshine Jinshan. . .
After a few days of strategy, I found a problem when I was on holiday, it is now the peak tourist season in Yunnan, and the cost of air tickets and accommodation has doubled or tripled, and it is difficult to find a ticket. Next, I checked Sanya, Hainan, and it was the same, seriously exceeding my budget too much. So after careful research, I finally chose Hangzhou, with West Lake as the center, and chose a few more scenic spots around to visit.
I took the high-speed train from Haiyang Station at half past six in the evening on February 7, and then took Metro Line 8 to Qingdao North to Jiaodong Airport.
Because of the morning ticket booked on the 8th, I needed to stay for one night, booked a hotel on the way to the airport, and picked up and dropped off near the airport for free. Since we are low-income people, I expect the standard accommodation fee for this trip to be no more than 21 nights.
After arriving at the hotel in Jiaodong, I took a look at the environment, which can be summed up in one word: fine. Although the hotel belongs to the B&B, it is very exquisite, and the health is particularly clean, as described on the Internet, and **affordable beyond imagination, less than 100 yuan for a night.
On the 8th, the plane was at 7:10 a.m., and the hotel dropped us off at the airport at 5 a.m. on time. We didn't have large luggage, we didn't have to check it in, and it went through the security check smoothly.
Arrive at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport at 9 o'clock in the morning. I didn't eat breakfast in the morning, so the first thing I did was to find a place to eat. I went to the fast food restaurant in the airport for a long time and didn't want to eat, so I searched on the Internet and saw that there was a Xixing ancient town on the way to West Lake from Xiaoshan Airport, and I thought that the ancient town would definitely have all kinds of food, and by the way, I would see the ancient town.
As a result, I found out after I went, maybe it was the reason for the New Year, the fast food restaurants around the ancient town were basically closed, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of the ancient town.
In the afternoon, take the subway directly to the West Lake, get off at Longxiangqiao Station, and get out of the subway in about ten minutes to the West Lake. I first bought two snacks unique to West Lake, 20 pieces of thumb fried buns and 15 pieces of fried rice noodles.
Walk along the lake to the broken bridge and the remnants of snow.
Walk from the White Causeway to the Lonely Mountain.
I was really tired of walking, so I sat down to rest, and by the way, I searched the hotel, and saw a youth hostel about five kilometers away, **In the early hundreds, the promotional materials said that it was still a starlight room, and I decided to book one.
After living in, there is a feeling of being deceived, the so-called starlight room is the top floor attic, the toiletries are not complete, the TV is not, and even the wireless network has to be registered and logged in, and finally it is useless. The air conditioning was simply a decoration, and this night almost ended in the West Lake. When you go out, you hold the principle that more is better than less, even if you suffer a loss, it is a blessing.
The next day, the merchant pretended to be aggrieved, and I said: I hope you will raise the level again, and do the same as what you say on the Internet.
I had a meal next to this hotel, a bowl of fried rice and a bowl of tomato and egg soup, which cost more than 70 yuan. The 9th is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Walk from the hostel to Leifeng Pagoda in the morning, about 15 km or so. Leifeng Pagoda ticket is 40 per person. The tower overlooks the West Lake. After about an hour of playing, I took a taxi to Lingyin Temple. Because I saw on the Internet that Lingyin Temple is free of admission for the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Anyone who has been here knows that going to Lingyin Temple is a package ticket, because to go to Lingyin Temple, you have to pass through a scenic spot: Feilai Peak. The ticket for Feilai Peak is 45 per person, which means that you can only spend 45 to visit Feilai Peak, and to go to Lingyin Temple, you have to buy tickets for these two attractions. Personally, I think this is a bit unreasonable.
I went to Lingyin Temple, climbed the Feilai Peak, and originally planned to take the cable car to the Beishan God of Wealth Temple, but from 11 am on the Chinese New Year's Eve, the cable car was overhauled and stopped, and finally did not sit down.
That is, at the foot of Lingyin Temple Mountain, there is a somen fast food restaurant, which is not bad in comparison. **80 for two people, plus a small cold dish, one hundred is enough.
In the afternoon, walk to the Botanical Garden, about two kilometers away from Lingyin Temple. Since it is still cold, most of the flowers and trees inside are still sleeping.
A brief visit to the botanical garden, from the north gate of the botanical garden, take a shared bicycle to the gem mountain, the gem mountain is free, and it is on the edge of the West Lake, climb to the top of the mountain West Lake in full view, if the day is good, you can see it at a glance.
The shared bicycles in Hangzhou are still very convenient, only half an hour is a piece of five, and the benefits are at home.
This time the hotel was not booked directly online, many hotels next to Wulinmen Square, after looking at it in the past, the offline order, this ** is a little expensive, but the overall conditions are much better than the one that lived on the 8th night.
Whether you get off the boat at Xinyi Square or Gongchen Bridge, you can stroll around both sides of the canal.
In addition, don't miss the West Lake special snacks, green onion bun juniper and Dongpo baked cake, the taste is still good.
Booked a return ticket on the 11th, so take the subway to the hotel near Xiaoshan Airport on the evening of the 10th. Because many of the areas around the airport have been demolished, I navigated past a restaurant that was in operation, and it turned out to be a bare wasteland. Fortunately, an enthusiastic handsome guy lent me an electric car and ran out for several kilometers to buy food.
I would like to express my gratitude again to the people of Hangzhou for their enthusiasm!!
This trip to Hangzhou, although a little disappointed, but overall it was good. If I have the opportunity, maybe I will go to Hangzhou to play, after all, there are many places such as Wuzhen and Songcheng that I haven't had time to visit.
