In 2020, it is bound to leave some memories. The Spring Festival tour in Xi'an, air tickets and hotels are all ready. The sudden COVID-19 has disrupted all plans, and it seems that there is no trend to improve. By May Day, the first five-day holiday in many years, the epidemic has eased a lot. Nanjing was arranged, and because the unit's prevention and control requirements were missed, there will be no longer longer a longer holiday. Until the National Day, the domestic epidemic situation is stable, and the country is a low-risk area. I have not gone out for nearly a year, and I collected the cabbage price flight of China Southern Airlines
I took my parents on an 8-day trip to Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Shanghai.

[Preparation before departure]

Once I have decided on my destination, the first step is to book a hotel. When I travel, I usually book a chain hotel with low prices and standardized management, which is not too good but also not bad. The impact of the epidemic on the tourism industry is still significant. Although hotels have increased slightly during the National Day holiday, they are not as expensive as in previous years. According to the arranged itinerary, I quickly locked in hotels to stay at, such as the Yibis Hangzhou Wensan Road store and the Hanting Suzhou Shantang Street store. The family rooms I booked are generally good.

Next is booking a flight ticket. Initially, I planned to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, not Shanghai. When budgeting, I planned to book a high-speed rail ticket. Later, I saw on the official website of China Southern Airlines that the ticket for the sea flight to Guiyang on the evening of the 8th was only 280 yuan, and it was a 787 large plane. I immediately booked the return ticket and added a daytime trip to Shanghai. Next, let's take a look at the air tickets from Guiyang to Hangzhou. The ticket prices have been fluctuating, from over 500 to over 600 and then back to over 500. On the day before the Mid Autumn Festival, it suddenly dropped to 460 yuan, which, combined with other miscellaneous expenses, is more than 100 yuan cheaper than the high-speed rail. We immediately made the decision.

[Cost Overview]

This Mid Autumn Festival and National Day Double Festival tour really pulled a handful of wool, and the transportation cost was one-third lower than expected.

Transportation: The air ticket (including fuel) from Guiyang to Hangzhou is 510 yuan per person, and the air ticket (including fuel) from Shanghai to Guiyang is 330 yuan per person. The total cost of airport buses is (60+20+25)=105 yuan per person, and the three cities are not far apart. Choosing a direct train not only allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way, but also saves costs. The fare from Hangzhou to Suzhou is 41.5 yuan per person, and from Suzhou to Shanghai is 14.5 yuan per person, totaling about 3000 yuan.

Small transportation: They all take buses and subways, and I didn't remember carefully, but each person won't exceed 70 yuan, totaling 200 yuan.

Hotel: Stayed in Hangzhou for 4 nights, 283 per night, Suzhou for 3 nights, 223 per night, totaling 1800 yuan.

Admission: Liangzhu National Archaeological Site Park costs 60 yuan, Wansong Academy costs 10 yuan, Qianwang Temple costs 15 yuan, Hanshan Temple costs 20 yuan, and Humble Administrator's Garden costs 80 yuan. These are all adult ticket prices. Dad is over 70 years old, so the ticket is free, Mom is 65 years old, and you can enjoy half the price, totaling 280 yuan. Remind everyone that epidemic prevention and control needs to be made in advance, whether it is a free scenic spot or a paid scenic spot. You can pay attention to the information released by the scenic spot official account or the local government to make an appointment as early as possible.

Souvenir: I bought a few refrigerator stickers and bookmarks to give to friends, which cost about 220 yuan.

Diet: I don't really care about this aspect, I just eat at local small restaurants casually. In addition, some scenic spots are far away and only bring dry food, so the cost is quite low, totaling less than 900.

The total cost for 3 people and 8 days is about 6400 yuan, which is quite cost-effective.

[itinerary arrangement]

Day 1, October 1st: From home to Hangzhou, almost all day on the road.

I booked flight CZ6381 from China Southern Airlines, departing from Longdongbao Airport in Guiyang at 2:40 pm and arriving at Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou at 4:45 pm. To be on the safe side, I bought a bus ticket from Anshun to Guiyang Airport at 10:30 pm, but it didn't disappoint me. Normally, it would take about 1.5 hours to arrive, but due to the holiday traffic jam, it took us 2 and a half hours to arrive at the airport at almost 1 pm. However, we had very little luggage and didn't need to check it in. We printed our boarding passes and quickly entered the waiting hall through security checks.

The flight went smoothly without any delay and arrived at Xiaoshan Airport on time. Currently, there is no subway from Xiaoshan to the downtown area of Hangzhou. We chose to take the airport bus to get off at Wulinmen, which costs 20 yuan per person, depending on the hotel location. We then transferred to another bus and arrived at the hotel. It was already past 6 o'clock, which happened to be dinner time. On the first day of departure, we didn't know what delicious food was nearby, so we ordered takeout to solve our stomach problems. Looking forward to the journey starting tomorrow.

Day 2, October 2: Liangzhu National Archaeological Site Park, Liangzhu Museum

First of all, the hotel booked this time only included one breakfast. But because the hotel restaurant was not ready yet, the reception desk gave everyone a 15 yuan coupon for Xinfeng snacks at the Hangzhou specialty breakfast shop. Needless to say, there were quite a variety of breakfast in the shop, including Xiaolongbao, noodles, vermicelli soup, Wonton, steamed stuffed buns Mantou, bread, milk yogurt soybean milk, etc., which basically met the needs of breakfast. Moreover, our family's appetite was small, and we could not eat all the things we ordered, so we took them with us to make dry food, so the cost of eating in Hangzhou was quite small.

The Liangzhu Site, located in Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, is not unfamiliar to those who study history. It was discovered in the 1920s and has since undergone nearly a century of continuous archaeological excavations, extending the history of rice cultivation in China to around 6000 years ago. This confirms the claim that both the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin are the origins of Chinese civilization through archaeology. The cultural relics unearthed from the site are mostly collected in the Liangzhu Museum and the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. In 2019, the Liangzhu Site was successfully declared a world cultural heritage site, which has greatly boosted its reputation. The National Archaeological Site Park, which was constructed since then, was also opened for trial at the end of last year. As a person born in the field of history, Archaeological enthusiasts, the first stop will be arranged here. The entrance ticket to the Ruins Park is 60 yuan, and the Museum does not charge any tickets. Online advance reservations are required.

We choose to go to the Archaeological Relics Park first. It's a long distance. The bus needs to transfer for about one and a half hours. At the entrance of the scenic spot (South Gate) at about 10 o'clock, we will queue up after exchanging tickets at the service center. You can follow the official account on WeChat first to get the tour route and voice explanation. After entering, there is a sightseeing bus ticket office more than 100 meters away, which costs 20 yuan per person. If you are not interested in the site, we need to study it slowly, so we suggest you buy it. Because it is really big, don't ask me how I know. However, it may be due to the fact that we are still focusing on construction. The scenery is very beautiful, and taking photos with our phones has no effect. However, as an archaeological site park, I personally think there is still a big gap compared to the Hanyangling Archaeological Site Park.

It will take about 4 hours to travel from the Ruins Park to the Liangzhu Museum. The museum is located in the Liangzhu Meilizhou Park, where there is also a church called Meilizhou Hall. The distance between the two is three to four kilometers. You can take a bus to get there. It will be around 3 pm in the afternoon, and you can enter by presenting your appointment code and health code.

The Liangzhu Museum was built in the 1990s and mainly collects cultural relics unearthed from the Liangzhu Site. This time, pictures and materials of the Liangzhu Site's application for World Heritage were displayed in the temporary exhibition hall.

Due to the epidemic, we followed the suggestion of visiting relatively enclosed places such as museums for about an hour, quickly browsing through the parts that interested us, and then left.

As usual, we took the bus back. There was a fast food restaurant downstairs of the hotel. We were not very interested in food. We packed Braised pork belly in brown sauce, shredded potatoes, beans, eggplants and other dishes and went back to our room to eat. Anyway, I thought it was very delicious and the price was not expensive. The fast food we ate here in Hangzhou in the next few days.

Day 3, October 3rd: Wansong Academy, Qian Wang Temple, Su Dongpo Memorial Hall, Su Di

It's not worth visiting Hangzhou before reaching West Lake. However, the West Lake scenic area is indeed too large, and it may take a few days to fully explore. So, I chose to

I visited several interesting attractions in two separate trips.

Wansong Academy is located on the Wansong Ridge of Fenghuang Mountain on the southern edge of West Lake. It was founded in the eleventh year of the Ming Hongzhi era (1498). Formerly known as Taihe Academy and Fuwen Academy, it was the largest, longest lasting, and most influential gathering place for literati in Hangzhou during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty and Qi Zhaonan of the Qing Dynasty once gave lectures here, and Yuan Mei, the poet of Suiyuan, also studied here. During the Southern Expedition of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, they respectively bestowed the titles of "Zhe Shui Fu Wen" and "Hu Shan Cui Xiu". Of course, people nowadays know more about the stories of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which are said to be the places where he met and fell in love. Therefore, after stepping onto the stairs, you will see blind date advertisements all over the roadside, and almost all parents replace their children, crossing this short road that is temporarily called blind date street before officially entering the academy.

The academy is not very large, and the main buildings include the Yangsheng Gate, Mingdao Hall, Dacheng Hall, Yuxiu Pavilion, etc. Among them, the Yuxiu Pavilion was originally a place to receive visiting scholars from various regions. Now, there is a "Liang Zhu Study", showcasing the scene of Liang Zhu's diligent study and "sitting shoulder to shoulder without guessing". Mingdao Hall is a lecture hall for academies, showcasing the culture of Chinese imperial examinations throughout history. The Dacheng Hall is a place for worshiping Confucius, with a mural depicting Confucius' teachings. A careful tour of about an hour is enough.

Coming out of Wansong Academy and continuing to Qianwang Temple, it was 2 kilometers away. The original plan was to take a bus, but later we found that there was a serious traffic jam in the West Lake area. We chose to walk there.

The Qian Wang Temple was first built in the tenth year of the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1077 AD), and was built by later generations to commemorate the achievements of the Qian King of Wu and Yue. The current building is for reconstruction, with only the octagonal wall remaining as the original building. In order to explore the historical and cultural connotations of Hangzhou and restore its historical and cultural landscape, the Hangzhou Municipal Government rebuilt this ancient temple in 2001 at the former site of Qianwang Temple - Liulang Wenying Park on the West Lake South Line. After expert design and citizen evaluation, the reconstruction plan was finally determined. The reconstruction project started in February 2002 and was completed on the eve of National Day in 2003. The ancient temple has restored corresponding landscapes such as the statue of the third generation and five kings of the Qian family in the state of Wu and Yue, the Gongde Chongfang, and the main hall buildings. The rebuilt Qian Wang Temple covers an area of 11300 square meters with a building area of 4600 square meters. At the same time, historical sites related to the Qian family are displayed in the temple, and high-tech techniques such as sound, light, and electricity are used to reproduce historical scenes such as "Qian Wang building a seawall", with a rich ancient charm and a lively atmosphere. In addition, an ancient stage has been built in the ancient temple to perform "Qian Liuji", as well as some Kunqu opera, Peking opera, Yue opera, etc., for tourists to enjoy. The rebuilt Qianwang Temple and Liulang Wenying Park have merged into one, becoming a new garden attraction that integrates sightseeing, sightseeing, cultural display, and historical research.

The Qianwang Temple itself is not large and can be visited in an hour

Coming out of the Qian Wang Temple and walking along the West Lake, in October, the West Lake was still lush with willow branches swaying and the water was emerald green. When taken with a mobile phone, it even appeared slightly bluish, as if it was by the seaside.

Continuing to Su Di, there is a Su Dongpo Memorial Hall next to the entrance. There is a two-story building, but only one floor is open. Inside, there are some pictures and text introductions about Su Dongpo's official position in Hangzhou and other West Lakes in the country. After carefully reading them, we came out and started not working on Su Di.

The current Su Causeway has a total length of 3.2 kilometers, spanning six stone arch bridges including Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Yindi, Dongpu, and Rainbow. In fact, the Su Causeway is no longer the one that Dongpo laymen used to rest in Hangzhou to dredge West Lake. After years of reconstruction, the Su Causeway now looks like an ordinary road, and many of the people who come here are driven by Dongpo's reputation, right

After walking through the Sudi, across the road is the Yue Fei Temple. As it is already late and the place where the road crosses is far away, I don't want to enter again. After leaving a photo, we took the bus back to the hotel.

Day 4, October 4th: Zhejiang Provincial Museum (Wulin Museum), Water Bus, Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, Jiangshu Railway Site Park, and Hefang Street

The Zhejiang Provincial Museum now has three exhibition areas, one is the Wulin Museum, one is the Gushan Museum, and there is also the Zhejiang Provincial Art Museum. I am not very interested in art, so I only went to the first two museums. Today, I went to the Wulin Museum, which can be reached by bus in about half an hour. I got off the bus and walked to the museum, passing through the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The permanent exhibitions in the Wulin Museum area are "Yuedi Changge - Zhejiang Historical and Cultural Exhibition" and "Qianjiang Tide - Zhejiang Modern Revolutionary History Exhibition", located on the first and second floors, respectively. The third floor is also between the mountains and rivers - Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountain" and the museum's collection of Ming and Qing landscape paintings, extraordinary heart sounds - Chinese Guqin in the world intangible cultural heritage, artistic craftsmanship Shenghui - Zhejiang folk plastic arts, and ten mile red makeup - red makeup furniture in Ning Shao's wedding customs. The underground floor is a temporary exhibition hall, which was not open when we went.

The museum takes about 3 hours to visit. After leaving the museum, according to the previous guide, walk to the Wulinmen Ferry Terminal of Hangzhou Water Bus, take the Water Bus Line 1 to Gongchenqiao Ferry Terminal, and the ticket price is 3 yuan. Every time I go to a place, I look for a local water bus that can travel along the river for a while. During the holiday, I estimate that besides locals, there are also many check-in tourists like us.

The ship we took this time had a slightly antique appearance. After more than 40 minutes, the ship arrived at the dock, and behind it was the Gongchen Bridge, which was built in the Ming Dynasty.

The Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum is located in the Canal Square. Lunch time is over. Go to feed your stomach first, and prepare to try the famous fried chicken in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I chose the one with good evaluation, Gaozu Fried Chicken, and ordered two fried shrimps and one Fried Rice with olive sausage. As a recipient of food from all over the country, all tastes are good for me.

The China Grand Canal Museum is located on the south side of the Canal Culture Square in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, adjacent to the southern endpoint of the Grand Canal - Gongchen Bridge. The building area is over 10000 square meters, with an exhibition area of over 5000 square meters. It is divided into four exhibition halls: "The Excavation and Transformation of the Grand Canal", "The Utilization of the Grand Canal", "Cities Along the Canal", and "Canal Culture". The thousands of cultural relics and historical materials currently collected and exhibited fully demonstrate the position and role of the Grand Canal in the development history of the Chinese nation. Entering the first floor of the museum, there is an ancient ship in the center, and on the right is an introduction to canals around the world.

The reason why all the places arranged today are indoors is because we saw the weather forecast for rain, but it was still early to leave the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, and we were reluctant to go back like this. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, so we walked aimlessly to the Jiangshu Railway Ruins Public Park, holding umbrellas.

The Jiangshu Railway, with a total length of over 16 kilometers, was the first railway in Zhejiang's history. It was completed and opened to traffic in 1907 and was demolished by the invading Japanese army in 1944, leaving only a portion of the roadbed. Later, the Hangzhou Municipal Government built the Jiangshu Railway Site Park here, covering an area of about 10 acres. The park will recreate facilities such as the clock tower, waiting room, old locomotive, and some railway tracks.

The park is also a constitutional education base, and the four sides of the clock tower are exactly the introductions of China's 56th, 75th, 78th, and 82nd constitutional amendments. The waiting room is the Jiangshu Railway Site Exhibition Hall, but it is not open.

After leaving the park, take a bus to Hefang Street. Every city has a street that is decorated with similar houses and sells similar products under the banner of culture, attracting tourists from all over to come and check in. Hefang Street is also such a place. In addition to the Stinky tofu fried string of Tomatoes on sticks sold everywhere, perhaps there are many shops selling West Lake Longjing.

Wandering aimlessly, I took a car back to the hotel.

Day, 5, October 5th: Xiling Seal Engraving Society, Zhejiang Provincial Museum (Gushan Museum), Baidi, Hangzhou Confucian Temple, Hangzhou to Suzhou

According to the schedule, we were supposed to travel from Hangzhou to Suzhou tonight. So, after getting up, we checked out directly, had breakfast, and took the bus to the Xiling Seal Engraving Society located in the isolated mountains of West Lake.

The Xiling Seal Engraving Society was founded in the 30th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1904). It was initiated by colleagues from the Zhejiang School of Seal Engraving, including Ding Fuzhi, Wang Fu'an, Wu Yin, and Ye Weiming, with Wu Changshuo as the first president. Our aim is to preserve gold and stone, study seal printing, and also incorporate calligraphy and painting. It is a folk art group that has the longest history, highest achievements, and the widest international influence in the study of seal carving, calligraphy, and painting, both domestically and internationally. It is known as the "Number One Society in the World". Covering an area of 7090 square meters, with a building area of 1750 square meters. The buildings, pavilions, and towers of the Printing Society are arranged in an orderly manner due to the high and low mountain terrain. The main buildings include Bai Tang, Zhu Ge, Yang Xian Ting, and Huan Pu Jing Lu, all of which are hung with plaques and couplets. The outdoor cliffs are lined with chiseled stones, and the calligraphy of famous figures is visible. In 1961, Yinshe was recognized by the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government as a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province.

I originally wanted to carve a seal, but unfortunately, there were too many people and I was too busy traveling to give up. After leaving the printing press, walking a few hundred meters, you can reach the Gu Shan Museum area of the Provincial Museum. The main collection includes exquisite porcelain from various dynasties, unearthed cultural relics from the Lei Feng Pagoda, and a special exhibition of the Wen Lan Pavilion and the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries. The Gu Shan Museum built during the Republic of China period has a more historical atmosphere than the newly built Wulin Museum, but it is much smaller and can be visited in about an hour and a half.

Walking forward from the museum, you will find the Bai Causeway, which is 1.2 kilometers long and was built by Bai Juyi during his tenure in Hangzhou. The most famous one is the broken bridge in the middle, which is bustling with tourists taking photos and checking in. Of course, we cannot avoid it.

Sitting by the West Lake, leisurely eating the dry food brought from the breakfast shop, gazing at the distant mountains, thinking of leaving more memories of Hangzhou.

After walking through Baidi, there is a bus stop not far away. There is still some time left. Due to working at the Anshun Confucian Temple, I like to visit the local Confucian Temple every time I go, so I take the bus to Hangzhou Confucian Temple.

The Hangzhou Confucian Temple (also known as Hangzhou Stele Forest) is located at the foot of Wu Mountain on the southeast side of West Lake. At the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, it is the location of the Confucian temples of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, which were later destroyed. At the beginning of this century, the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou was rebuilt, covering an area of 1.32 hectares with a total construction area of 5581 square meters. It consists of two interconnected and relatively independent areas, the east and west. The Western District is the central axis of Hangzhou Confucian Temple, highlighting the cultural essence of Hangzhou Confucian Temple. The eastern district is a typical Jiangnan garden style courtyard, with flowers and birds singing and water flowing, and various buildings scattered like pearls. The Water Court is located in the center of the entire courtyard, with buildings such as Shijing Pavilion, Xingxiang Pavilion, and Wenchang Pavilion arranged in a staggered manner between the rockery and the water. The winding and long corridors organically connect them together. Nearly 500 steles, which contain profound historical accumulation and rich cultural connotation, are displayed in pavilions and towers in an orderly manner, and are integrated with graceful Jiangnan gardens. Among them, the Stone Classics of the Southern Song Dynasty by Song Gaozong, the Stone Carving of the Sixteen Arhat by Guan Xiu, the Stone Carving of Confucius and His Seventy and Twelve Disciples by Li Gonglin, and the Stone Carving of the Five Dynasties by the Five Dynasties are the most famous.

The Confucian Temple has a small area and can be visited in about an hour before heading to Hangzhou Station.

After continuous comparison, the Z282 train was ultimately chosen for this trip, 17; It departs from Hangzhou Station at 04 and arrives in Suzhou at 20:25, but it's a bit late. It's almost 9 o'clock before arriving at Suzhou Station.

The Hanting Hotel Shantang Street Branch booked in Suzhou is not far from the train station and is only two stops away by subway. As it is located near Shilu Pedestrian Street and Shantang Street, it is still bustling here after 9 o'clock.

It was late. We bought beef noodles and Guokui for dinner at the downstairs Lanzhou Lamian Noodles restaurant. After eating, we went to bed, looking forward to the two-day trip to Suzhou.

Day, 6, October 6th: Hanshan Temple, Yuyao Golden Brick Museum, Xiaolongkan, Shantang Street

The local famous Luyang Wonton restaurant was chosen for breakfast. Sesame rice dumpling, Wonton and stewed meat noodles were all delicious and cheap, which only cost 27 yuan.

Outside the city of Gusu, at Hanshan Temple, the sound of the midnight bell reaches the passenger ship. A poem by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji titled "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge" has made Hanshan Temple famous. Tourists to Suzhou also consider Hanshan Temple a must visit destination. Our first stop in Suzhou was here.

The bus is direct, and you can enter after buying a ticket. Most of the buildings in Hanshan Temple are rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, mainly including the the Shakya ManiHall, Sutra Pavilion, Bell Tower, Stele Gallery, Fengjiang Tower, Frost Bell Pavilion, etc. Our whole family doesn't believe in Buddhism, and we don't have much feelings about the temple. Instead, we are more focused on that poem.

Coming out of Hanshan Temple is the Fengqiao Scenic Area, where there are scattered stone slabs, antique pavilions and towers, restored city towers, cargo ships carrying goods on the canal, shops selling Suzhou embroidery, and so on.

In the afternoon, I went to the Imperial Kiln Brick Museum, which is far from the city center. This is the first museum in China to showcase "Imperial Kiln Bricks" as its theme. The museum is divided into three floors and mainly houses 1439 gold brick collections from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It was still early to leave the museum and prepare to have a big meal, so I went to Xiaolongkan Hot Pot near the hotel, hahaha.

It was only after six o'clock that we finished eating, and it was at a time when the night was fading. We walked through the Stone Road Pedestrian Street and arrived at Qili Mountain Pond. The lights on both sides of the mountain pond street reflected the gray white houses on the mountain pond river. The ticket office of the cruise ship by the bridge was overcrowded, and we didn't join the fun. We walked back to the hotel to rest on the way. Perhaps without such a surge of people, the scenery would be even better.

Day 7, October 7th: Suzhou Revolution Museum, Suzhou Confucian Temple, Humble Administrator's Garden, Pingjiang Road Historical Block

Today's itinerary was one of the few days in this trip to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Usually, I make an appointment right away when I start booking tickets at the scenic area. However, when I arrived in Suzhou, I was either too excited or a bit tired and forgot to book the Humble Administrator's Park and Suzhou Museum. On the evening of the 6th, when I remembered it, I opened WeChat and found that Suzhou Museum tickets were no longer available, and Humble Administrator's Park tickets were only available after 1 pm in the afternoon. I didn't know what to do in the morning, so I quickly opened the map and searched. Finally, based on my interests, I chose Suzhou Revolution Museum and Suzhou Confucian Temple.

The bus is not far from the Revolutionary Museum. You can enter the museum after showing the health code and reservation information, and measuring your body temperature. The basic display is Glorious Journey - The CPC in Suzhou. Because of the adjustment, only the first exhibition hall on the negative floor is open.

After the museum comes out, take a bus to Suzhou Confucian Temple. The current Suzhou Confucian Temple only has Yingbi, Panchi, and Dacheng Hall. The clear blue sky and green trees complement the architecture, which is not lacking in flavor.

Suzhou Antique City is next to Suzhou Confucian Temple. It is one of the three largest antique cities in East China, along with Nanjing Confucius Temple and Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai.

On the way to Humble Administrator's Garden, I had duck blood vermicelli soup and ordered a high-quality dish, priced at 17 yuan per bowl. The ingredients inside were very rich.

Humble Administrator's Garden, one of the four famous gardens in China, is not known whether it is a holiday with too many people or not very interested in gardens. I always feel that this trip to Humble Administrator's Garden does not match the ticket, and I do not have the desire to sit in the scenic area. I just want to walk out quickly.

Not far from Humble Administrator's Garden is the Pingjiang Road Historical Block, which is quite long. There are many shops where you can enjoy tea and Suzhou Pingtan, as well as souvenirs and snacks to buy. Overall, it feels good.

After leaving Pingjiang Road, take the bus back to the hotel and head to Shanghai tomorrow.

Day 8, October 8th: Suzhou to Shanghai, Memorial Hall of the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Shanghai Museum, People's Square, Nanjing Road, Bund, Pujiang Ferry, returning home

I have booked the Z91 train, which departs from Suzhou Station at 7:17 and arrives in Shanghai at 8:11. It was delayed by about ten minutes. After arriving at the station, I took the subway directly to the Memorial Hall of the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Don't ask why it's not the First National Congress because I didn't make a reservation.

The Second Congress came out, took a break in the street garden, and took advantage of the time to search the Internet for nearby food. The newly opened Du Liufang restaurant had a discount for group purchase, so immediately placed an order for a beef in golden soup set meal and a White cut chicken set meal. The two sets of meals together were just over 50.

After finishing lunch, I went to the Shanghai Museum. Due to time constraints, I only focused on visiting the special exhibition of the Baoli cultural relic - Heishi Shuishui, and other content was just a superficial observation.

The exhibition halls of the Shanghai Museum are set up according to specific topics, such as ceramics, calligraphy, painting, jade artifacts, seals, etc. We only looked at the calligraphy museum and ancient bronze.

The treasure of Zhen Guan, Da Ke Ding, requires several more photos

Passing by People's Square on the way to Nanjing Road

Shanghai Nanjing Road and Guangzhou Beijing Road. After comparison, I personally think Guangzhou Beijing Road is better. My personal opinion is that

The end of Nanjing Road is the Bund, but it's not as water friendly as the Hankou River Beach in Wuhan, so it feels average.

I took a few photos at the Bund Sightseeing Station and headed to the Pujiang Ferry Dongchang Road Ferry. I took the Dongjin Line (Dongchang Road Jinling East Road) ferry and enjoyed the sunset on the Pujiang River. The photos were beautiful.

In Pudong New Area, Lujiazui Financial CBD, buildings are taller than each other. After eating beef Lamian Noodles in the Lamian Noodles restaurant in the sunken square of the World Financial Center, we left for Pudong Airport.

The key station of Metro Line 2 goes directly to Pudong Airport, and you can follow the signs to reach Terminal T2. However, Pudong Airport is indeed quite large, and printing boarding passes and security checks are handled by different airlines. If you are unsure, it is best to ask the airport staff to avoid any delays.

The security check will be completed quickly, but the airport is too large and you have to take the subway to get to the waiting hall.

I'm ready to board the Boeing 787, it's my first time experiencing it. There's a small screen behind the seat for watching TV, but it's not very interesting

The snacks, a chicken burger and a cup of coffee and mineral water, should be considered as a late night snack, it's not bad.

The biggest advantage of a night flight is that the punctuality rate is much higher than during the day. The plane landed at Longdongbao Airport on time, and we took the airport bus to Guiyang Station and then transferred to the train to go home.

At this point, the 8-day Double Festival tour of Mid Autumn Festival and National Day has come to a smooth end. At the beginning of this year, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic had a great impact on both the country and individuals. Fortunately, China quickly controlled the epidemic situation, which led to this smooth trip. I believe the future will continue to improve. This year's annual vacation is not yet useful, and I am preparing to go to Shanxi next month.
