Zhejiang is located on the coast of the East China Sea, with a long history, beautiful mountains and rivers, and a rich collection of people and culture; There are abundant water resources and a long coastline, beautiful and rich Jiangnan water towns, as well as profound historical and cultural connotations. The mountains, waters, and scenery here are picturesque, each displaying its own charm and captivating, making it a great place and destination for tourism.

On October 7th, starting from Shantou City, Guangdong Province, we embarked on a 16 day journey of Nanxi River and Yandang Mountain in Zhejiang Province Tiantai Mountain Fenghua Xikou Ningbo urban area, Zhoushan, Putuo Mountain, Yuyao Hemudu, Wuzhen, Haining Qiantang River Shaoxing Ancient City The total distance of the self driving tour in waiting areas is 3260 kilometers. Although this journey was not long, along the way, many of the beautiful scenery in Zhejiang has been fully captured, leaving an unforgettable and beautiful impression on people.

Although the highways throughout the country have turned red during the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day holidays this year, many places have also experienced major traffic jams. But fortunately, we set off on the 7th, and the G15 Shenhai Expressway and other expressways were basically unobstructed. After stopping in Ningde, Fujian, we arrived at Nanxi River in Yongjia County, Wenzhou City at noon on the 8th.

The Nanxi River is located in Yongjia County, just over 20 kilometers away from the urban area of Wenzhou. It is a national key scenic spot and a world geological park. The Nanxi River Scenic Area integrates natural scenery and cultural landscapes, renowned for its beautiful water, peculiar rocks, numerous waterfalls, beautiful forests, and ancient villages. It is a scenic area known for its beautiful landscape and pastoral scenery.

Here, we spent a little over a day and a half visiting Yantou Town (a famous historical and cultural town in China), Xiaogang Rafting Wharf, Yongjia Academy Lishui Ancient Street Longwantan National Forest Park Stone Mast Rock, Ridge Home Sigiriya Lion Rock Xiaxia Warehouse Taogong Cave Cangpo Ancient Village Scenic spots such as Furong Ancient Village and Guolutan. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn breeze is refreshing. Overall, I feel pretty good. However, it is possible that due to the relatively low rainfall this year, many rivers may not have much water or have directly cut off their flow, which has more or less affected the landscape, and it is regrettable.

Tips

1. The Nanxi River Scenic Area has a large area and scattered attractions, making self driving tours the first choice. Good road conditions and convenient parking.

2. Tickets are sold separately for various tourist attractions, ranging from a few yuan to a few tens of yuan, and there are also those that do not accept tickets.

3. Good weather is crucial for viewing such natural landscapes. If it's cloudy or rainy, most tourist attractions won't be very eye-catching.

I transferred to Yandang Mountain in Leqing County, Wenzhou City at noon on October 10th. Yandang Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in history in China. It is now a national key scenic spot, known for its peaks, caves, rocks, and springs. It has always been known as a "famous mountain on the sea".

I also spent a day and a half here, leisurely visiting four scenic spots including Dalongqiu, Fangdong, Lingfeng, and Lingyan. Overall, the scenery is pretty good, but it's not as good as the promotion, it's just a reputation.

Tips

1. Although various scenic spots are scattered, their transportation is convenient. If you purchase a scenic spot ticket, the scenic spot bus will take you to each scenic spot. In addition, due to the epidemic this year, self driving tour vehicles can be driven to various scenic spots by themselves, and all parking lots are free, which is both convenient and saves the cost of purchasing transportation vehicles for scenic spots.

2. Also, due to the lack of rainfall this year and the current dry season, Dalongqiu is well-known for its poor water flow Xiaolongqiu Then the flow will be completely cut off.

3. There are many homestays here, with a variety of levels to choose from. We live here Dalongqiu Scenic Area The homestay near the entrance is very convenient.

On October 12th, belonging to Taizhou city Tiantai County I visited Tiantai Mountain for half a day. It is said that there are no fewer than ten places called "Tiantai Mountain" in the country, but the most famous is the Tiantai Mountain located in Tiantai County, which is now a national key scenic spot.

On the way to Tiantai Mountain, I also took a look at the lotus terraced fields in Nanping. It was just average. It is said that it was still possible before, but in recent years, due to various reasons, many areas have no longer been willing to be cultivated. The terraced fields are not cultivated by anyone, so naturally there is no landscape to speak of.

rooftop Mountain National Scenic Area has Qiongtai Immortal Valley Great Falls Guoqing Temple Waiting for scenic spots, among which the Great Waterfall Scenic Area is still under construction. Due to the rush of time, I just walked around casually. Former Residence of Duke Ji In the county town, it's pretty good.

On October 13th, I arrived in Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo City, mainly for sightseeing Xuedou Mountain Scenic area and Jiang's hometown. Although Xikou Xuedou Mountain is a national scenic spot, Xuedou Mountain is mainly a place where people worship Buddha, and the scenery is just average; Jiang's hometown, due to its celebrity influence, is also bustling with tourists. I spent more than half a day hurriedly strolling around these two scenic spots. I don't think it's good or bad, let's learn about the history of the Republic of China.

On October 14th, I arrived at Zhoushan from Xikou via Ningbo Zhujiajian Island . Ningbo is a beautiful port city, a historic and cultural city, and a famous tourist city. Originally, there was a plan to stay for one or two nights, but due to changes in the itinerary, it was changed to passing by. Focus on the two most famous places here, Tianyi Pavilion The Museum and the Old Bund.

Tianyi Pavilion is located in the city of Ningbo Moon Lake Park The lakeside is a very ancient private library that exists in China. After generations of expansion and renovation, it has now become a picturesque Jiangnan garden with scattered rockeries, ponds, pavilions, and other scenery Moon Lake Together form the Tianyi Pavilion Moon Lake Scenic Area.

The Old Bund is located in the center of Ningbo, 20 years earlier than the history of the Shanghai Bund. Today, the Old Bund still preserves a large number of beautiful European style old buildings and is one of the landmarks of Ningbo.

Both of these attractions have their own unique features and are very worth visiting.

Tips

1. Tickets are required for the Tianyi Pavilion Museum, while the Moon Lake is a public leisure area that does not require a ticket. The Old Bund also does not require a ticket.

2. If the schedule is suitable, the Old Bund should be taken for a walk both during the day and at night. The scenery, taste, and feeling will be different.

3. In recent years, several large-scale cross sea bridges have been built from Ningbo to Zhoushan, making it much more convenient to travel to Putuo Mountain. This is also a microcosm of the rapid progress in modernization construction, especially in road and bridge construction, in various regions.

On October 15th, a full day trip to Mount Putuo was specially arranged, and an overnight stay at Mount Putuo was arranged to provide more leisure time for sightseeing.

Mount Putuo is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with“ Sea and Sky Buddha Kingdom ”The reputation of. Putuo Mountain Scenic Area There are numerous scenic spots and historical sites, and abundant tourism resources. There are Buddhist cultural landscapes, mountain and sea cultural landscapes, historical military cultural landscapes, and island fishing customs landscapes, which are places that tourists and pilgrims do not want to miss.

After landing on the island in the morning, I visited the West Heaven Scenic Area of the Putuo Mountain Scenic Area one after another（ Er Gui Ting Fa Shi Guanyin Ancient Cave Pantuo Stone Heart-shaped stone ）； Puji Temple Scenic Area（ Puji Zen Temple ）； Zizhulin Scenic Area (Nanhai Guanyin, Zizhuyuan Zen Temple Not-willing-leave Guanyin Temple ）； Zhengshanmen South Tianmen Scenic Area (South Tianmen Coastal memorial archway Zhengshan Gate, etc. I started playing from around 9am and continued walking until nightfall. I played for over 8 hours without stopping, and the record on my phone was over 30000 steps. It was really tiring all day.

Tips

1. The nearest and most convenient place to go to Mount Putuo is the Wugongsi Wharf (also known as the Cihang Passenger Terminal) in Zhujiajian. There are many boat trips, and the journey is only about 15 minutes. This dock has a grand passenger transportation center and several large parking lots, with small cars charging tens of yuan per day.

2. Zhujiajian is a town under the jurisdiction of Putuo District, Zhoushan City. Although it is also one of the many islands in the Zhoushan Archipelago, it is connected to the mainland by a bridge and has good road conditions. Zhujiajian also has several scenic spots, which are themselves scenic spots.

3 Zhujiajian Island Hotels, homestays, and restaurants can be found everywhere, making food and accommodation convenient. Seafood comes from the Zhoushan Islands fishing grounds, fresh and delicious.

4. Mount Putuo is already a very mature tourist area, and food and accommodation are also quite convenient. However, the prices are generally higher than outside, and there will be significant price increases on weekends, especially holidays, and reservations need to be made in advance.

5. There are buses available for transportation on the island, and some scenic spots are far apart and can be taken.

On the morning of October 16th, returning from Mount Putuo to Zhujiajian, the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain Daqingshan National Park Nansha Islands Walk around the scenic area and other places casually. I want to visit International Sand Sculpture Art Square At the Zhoushan International Sand Sculpture Festival in China, it happened that they were going to hold a beach concert in the evening. The ticket prices had more than doubled, but the cost-effectiveness was too low. Coupled with the bad weather, I was really tired after walking all day yesterday. It's better to go back to the hotel and rest.

On October 17th, I left Zhujiajian and went to Wuzhen, Tongxiang, Jiaxing City. Along the way, I visited Zhoushan City one after another Shenjiamen Fishing Port China Zhoushan International Aquatic City and Zhoushan Museum; Yuyao City's Hemudu Site Museum ； Starting and ending in Cixi, Ningbo and Jiaxing sea salt Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge and Haitian Yizhou (G15 Shenhai Expressway Seaside Platform). Unfortunately, it was cloudy during the afternoon at the Hai Tian Yi Zhou sightseeing tower, which greatly reduced the viewing experience.

Tips

1. The Hemudu Site Museum has a great reputation, but there are not many things you can see now. It can be said that if you want to understand history, you don't have much interest in seeing landscapes.

2. The Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge has a total length of 36 kilometers. When it opened on May 1, 2008, it was the longest bay bridge in the country and a masterpiece in the Chinese bridge industry.

3. Haitian Yizhou (G15 Shenhai Expressway Haizhong Platform) is located on the Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge Southern Airlines 1.7 kilometers south of Daoqiao, approximately 18 kilometers from the south bank. This sea platform and sightseeing tower integrate bridge view, sea view, and leisure shopping, and have been developed into a unique scenic area.

4. Entering the scenic area (full ticket price of 80 yuan, discounted price of 65 yuan; parking fee of 15 yuan), you can take the elevator directly to the observation corridor located at the top of the sightseeing tower. From a height of 120 meters, you can overlook the vast expanse of waves Hangzhou The bay and the rainbow shaped cross sea bridge are all in view, very spectacular.

Full day tour of Wuzhen Scenic Area on October 18th. Morning: Dongzha Scenic Area Home of Mao Dun Lin's shop; In the afternoon, Xizha Scenic Area The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou and Xizha Night Tour .

Wuzhen is a historic Jiangnan town located in the northern suburbs of Tongxiang, with its main attractions divided into Dongzha Scenic Area and Xizha Scenic Area. Here, with small bridges and flowing water, blue bricks and Dai tiles, and an ancient charm, it presents a unique warmth and elegance, creating a picturesque Jiangnan water town atmosphere.

This is a classic scenic spot that is worth spending one or two days slowly experiencing and savoring.

Tips

1. Tickets for the two scenic spots, Dongzha and Xizha, can be purchased separately or in combination with discounts. If there is plenty of time, it is best to visit both scenic spots and add a night tour of Xizha. If you don't have much time, visit Xizha Scenic Area.

2. The management of the scenic area is in place, clean, tidy, and orderly. There are many bathrooms with excellent facilities and hygiene, so I should give them a thumbs up.

3. Taking a roller coaster tour or having a more interesting and artistic atmosphere is a good choice, but the cost is relatively high.

Wuzhen is the farthest point of our trip to Zhejiang. After visiting the Wuzhen Scenic Area, we started walking back on October 19th and arrived from Wuzhen Shaoxing . On this day, along the way, we also visited the Chrysanthemum Fragrance Garden at the Hangbai Chrysanthemum Planting Base in Baimatang Village, Shimen Town, Tongxiang City, and Haining in Jiaxing City in turn Yanguan Ancient Town (a famous historical and cultural town in China), a popular tourist attraction park, the Qiantang River Tide Tanah Lot Confucius Temple and School Palace Jinyong Academy . It is worth mentioning that it happened to be the third day of the third lunar month, the Spring Tide Day. At around 1 noon, I was very lucky to see the magnificent and surging Qiantang River Spring Tide.

Tongxiang is the hometown of Chinese white chrysanthemum. After multiple investigations, we arrived at the Chrysanthemum Fragrance Garden in Baimatang Village, Shimen Town, Tongxiang City. Unfortunately, they arrived a bit early, and the chrysanthemums in the field were just about to bloom. The peak flowering period was from the end of October to early November.

The Qiantang River Tide has been known as a wonder of the world since ancient times, and the Yanguan Tide Viewing Resort Park is a great place to watch the tides. The river tide is like millions of white war horses advancing side by side, rushing towards it in a grand and mighty manner; The sound was like a landslide, as if the earth was shaking and trembling. Su Dongpo praised it as the "Eighteen Tides of the Eighth August, Spectacular in the World".

Every year from August 13th to August 22nd in the lunar calendar, the local "Qianjiang Haining Tide Watching Festival" attracts thousands of tourists from all over the country to come here to watch the tide, and CCTV also broadcasts live. According to reports, as many as 160000 people came to Qiantang River to watch the tide on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month this year.

Tips

1. Although Tongxiang is the hometown of Chinese chrysanthemum, it is not widely planted due to various factors, and even fewer are planted in patches. The chrysanthemum garden at the Hangbai Chrysanthemum Planting Base in Baimatang Village, Shimen Town, which I visited this time, has a planting area of nearly 200 acres, which can be considered a large scale.

2. The Qiantang River spring tide can be seen in many places along the Qiantang River, several tens of kilometers from Haining in Jiaxing City to Hangzhou City. The first to sixth day of the lunar calendar and the fifteenth to twentieth day of each month are all periods of high tide, and the time of daily tide varies.

3. The scenic spot park, the Sea God Temple, the Confucian Temple Academy, and the Jin Yong Academy have been developed into Haining Yanguan Tide Viewing Scenic Area Tickets can be purchased separately or in combination. If there is not much time arrangement, then you can visit the tidal resort park and watch the Qiantang River tide, while the landscapes of the other attractions can generally be completely ignored.

On October 20th, I spent a whole day visiting the Keyan Scenic Area in the ancient city of Shaoxing Lanting scenic spot; Lu Xun's Hometown Scenic Area ： Lu Xun's Ancestral Residence Sanwei Bookstore Memorial Hall of Lu Hsun Lu Xun's Former Residence and Shen Yuan .

The ancient city of Shaoxing is a famous water town, bridge town, wine town, calligraphy town, and scholar town, known as a historical museum without walls. There are numerous scenic spots and historical sites here, with numerous fragrant stories for future generations to admire and appreciate.

Tips

1. Ke Yan Scenic Area and Jianhu Lake and Lu Town Bundled together, tickets (including cruise ships) are relatively expensive. Lu Xun's Hometown Scenic Area is free of charge, and visitors can receive a visit voucher with their ID card to visit four scenic spots: Lu Xun's Ancestral Residence, Sanwei Bookstore, Lu Xun Memorial Hall, and Lu Xun's Former Residence

2. The Lanting Scenic Area presents a profound historical and cultural heritage. Visiting the scenic area, especially the Lanting Calligraphy Museum, is very helpful and beneficial for understanding the preface of the Lanting collection and the history of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

After visiting Shaoxing, all the travel arrangements for this self driving tour in Zhejiang have been completed. Starting from October 21st, I drove about 1100 kilometers in two days, stopping at Fuqing in Fujian. On October 22nd, I successfully returned to Shantou and successfully completed my self driving trip to Zhejiang.

Tips

1. This self driving tour covered a total distance of 3260 kilometers. In addition to highways, it also took many county and township roads as well as roads between scenic spots. The road conditions, whether on the expressway or other roads, are very good and there are no sand or gravel roads that have been traversed. Zhejiang has done well in this area and is leading the way.

2. The phased achievements of the "toilet revolution" advocated from top to bottom in recent years are evident to all. It's really convenient to think about convenience wherever you go. Especially in scenic spots, there are not only many but also very clean areas, some of which are equipped with toilet paper, hot water, and rest areas.

3. This season for outings, the temperature is very suitable, mostly between 15-24 degrees Celsius, but it will be slightly hotter during noon, making it a good season for hiking.

4. Due to the impact of the epidemic in the first half of the year, the tourism industry is still in a period of recovery growth, and there are generally not many tourists to scenic spots and attractions in various regions. Without the phenomenon of overcrowding, the feeling of leisure in the scenic area is much more comfortable.
