Let me share it, the route I just finished has a long article. Interested friends can refer to it and help everyone avoid some pitfalls.


Depart on May 25 and return on June 6. After 13 days, 3,368.4 kilometersThrough Guangzhou-Xiamen-Fuzhou-Lishui-Songyang-Wuzhen-Huangshan-Jingdezhen-Changsha-Guangzhou


The original route was Guangzhou-Xiamen-Fuzhou-Lishui-Hangzhou-Wuzhen-Shanghai-Huangshan-Jingdezhen-Nanchang-Changsha-Chenzhou-Guangzhou.
However, due to the epidemic, some cities needed nucleic acid to go, so the itinerary has been changed. It may be better if friends with enough time can take this route. Without saying much, get straight to the topic.



Day 01: Guangzhou-Xiamen


Accommodation:The first day: We set off at 11 a.m., and it took more than 600 kilometers to Xiamen in 7 hours. We arrived in Xiamen at 6 p.m. We stayed in Zengcuo 'an. To be honest, parking is very inconvenient, and there is an extra fee for parking, so I don't recommend you to live in Zengcuo' an.


Play:Because I arrived late, I just took a brief stroll in Zengcuo 'an, and then went to the seaside opposite Zengcuo' an in the evening (I don't recommend coming here, there are too many people and the seaside is dirty)

Food:We ate Wulan Sha Tea Noodles at night, which tasted good.

The snacks in Zengcuo 'an are not recommended for everyone to eat. We bought a coconut milk jelly, which is sour... It felt bad, so we didn't buy any other snacks


Day 02: Guangzhou-Xiamen


Play:The next day, we left for Gulangyu early in the morning (we had to book tickets one day in advance). I won't give a detailed introduction to the attractions, just add pictures. The scenery was really good, but it was too sunburned, so we left after three hours of shopping. I suggest everyone bring umbrellas. It's really sunburned! After we came back from Gulangyu in the afternoon, we went directly to Nanputuo Temple, which means that we had to make an appointment in advance, but when we went there, we could make an appointment on site and enter directly.

Food:At noon, we ate it at the indigenous people's place in Gulangyu. The clam fry was not bad, but the fried noodles were not as delicious as the ones in Guangzhou, haha

In the evening, we went to Zhongshan Road and ate all kinds of snacks. We found recommended dishes as soon as we searched for them using the Gaode map.

What we ate: ① Danxiang Bakery ② Bashi Ajie Five-spice ③ Chenjia Desserts ④ Aya Four Fruit Soup ③ Haoxiang Rivet Pork



Day 03: Xiamen-Fuzhou


Accommodation:Because we were tired from playing yesterday, we slept late and set off at noon. It is about a 4-hour drive from Xiamen to Fuzhou. It is past 4 o'clock in Fuzhou City. We live near the Minjiang River, so please don't stay in our hotel (Fuzhou Wisney Hotel). The carpet in the hotel smells too loud. And it was raining heavily in Fuzhou when we arrived, so the experience was very bad.


Play:Because of the rain, we only went to Sanfang and Qixiang. It happened that there were not many pedestrians on the road. We just went for a simple stroll, mainly to eat haha.

Food:① Yigu Jasmine ② Backstreet Laohua ③ Dingbian Paste ④ Baibing Garden (Handmail) ④ Tooth Bo Peanut Soup


Day 04: Fuzhou-Lishui (Guyan Painting Hometown)


Accommodation:Because Fuzhou gave us a very bad experience, we set off for Lishui early on the fourth day. It took about five and a half hours by car. We stayed directly at a B & B outside Guyan Painting Township. The experience was still very good and the price was not high.


Play:It was around 4:30 when we arrived at Guyan Painting Township. Since we lived nearby, we walked directly to the scenic spot (the owner of the B & B told us that tickets were free at 4:30), so we went directly to the scenic spot.

Food:We didn't find anything delicious here in Guyan Painting Township because we felt that many shops were not open, so we could try eating in the scenic area. The specialties here are river fish and bamboo shoots. The picture below shows the breakfast prepared for us by the B & B owner


Day 05: Lishui (Guyan Painting Township)-Lishui (Songyang)-Wuzhen


Accommodation:She originally wanted to stay in Songyang for one night, but her girlfriend felt that this place was not what she wanted, so she temporarily changed her itinerary and went to Wuzhen overnight. That night, I stayed outside Xizha, Wuzhen.


Play:leave in the morning

First stop, Songyang Old Street

Second stop; Yangjiatang Village

The third stop, Huang Family Courtyard


Food:In Songyang, we only ate this one online celebrity restaurant, Baixian Noodle Restaurant



Day 06: Wuzhen


Accommodation:As I said the day before, I live next to Xizha. Without further ado, there are many B & Bs nearby to choose from.


Play:I spent the whole day in Xizha, playing in the morning and wandering until evening. If I want to take a boat, it is recommended to take it at night, because there are lights at night, which is much better than during the day, and it is best to sit from the inside out. If you want to play, just walk along the road. Why didn't we go to Dongzha? Because we have already visited Guyan Painting Township and Xizha. In fact, the scenery in these places is similar

Food:There are many special snacks in Xizha. The fish you see in the scenic area are white water fish. The fish is very soft and has a lot of bones. If you don't like the ones with too many bones, don't eat them. You can try everything else. The picture below shows shredded radish cake

We had a barbecue at the midnight snack bar next to the B & B in the evening. The beer was good and delicious.



Day 07: Wuzhen-Huangshan



Accommodation:We set out at noon and the journey took four and a half hours. We lived in Tangkou Town, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. Our trip was considered an off-season trip. There were not many people in the places we went to, and the same was true for Huangshan.


Play:I didn't go anywhere today, so I just walked around the hotel. Basically, there were supermarkets, hotels and restaurants nearby. There was nothing else. The main thing today was to have a good rest and prepare for the mountain tomorrow, because it was going to be around 6 o'clock in the morning. I had to get up.


Food:We ate it at the restaurant where we stayed. We ordered the stinky mandarin fish and a wild vegetable here (I forgot its name). To be honest, they didn't suit our Cantonese taste, and we didn't take any photos.



Day 08: Huangshan


Accommodation:Today is going up and down the mountain. We don't spend the night on the top of the mountain, so we still stay in the original hotel.


Play:It should be around seven o'clock (if you are late, you will be worried that you won't be able to climb in a day. If you take the cable car up and down the mountain, you can be two hours late). There are three places that need to be charged: 1. Station-Huangshan (fare), 2. Cable car (charged separately for going up and down the mountain), and 3. Tickets.


Things to take for mountain climbing:

Mountaineering sticks (hotels usually have free ones)

Two bottles of water (there are many places on the mountain where there are warm water connections, so don't bring too much, two bottles are almost enough)

Food (It is recommended not to bring too much food, as long as there is enough to eat. In fact, you won't be too hungry when climbing the mountain. If you allow, you can actually bring two self-service hot pot dishes)


Tell me more about the one-day hiking route! This is the most critical thing.

Take the cable car from Yungu Temple-Shixin Peak-Beihai Hotel-Monkey View the Sea-Beihai Hotel-Xihai Hotel-Fei Lai Shi-Guangmingding-Baiyun Ice Coffin-Aoyu Peak-Hundred Step ladders-Lianhua Peak (highest peak)-Yinke Pine-Walking down the mountain/Cable car down the mountain


It is specially recommended to go down the mountain by the cable car!!!Especially for friends with poor knees, it is estimated that it will take about three hours to go down the mountain. I walked down the mountain, and it took me three or four days to recover.


Food:It was already past five o'clock when we went down the mountain and returned to the foot of the mountain. We couldn't walk much, so after returning to the hotel, we drove to the nearby hot pot. It seemed a little cold, so we didn't have much appetite. I don't know if it was delicious, so I won't make any recommendations.



Day 09: Huangshan-Jingdezhen



Accommodation:We were really tired yesterday. We slept until check-out time. Because we were going to Jingdezhen, we stayed at a treasure B & B in Jingdezhen at night. I won't advertise. If you are interested, you can chat privately with me and send it to you. A B & B that will surprise you. I forgot to mention the travel time. It only takes three hours from Huangshan to Jingdezhen, so it won't be too tiring.


Play:As usual, it was already past four o'clock when we arrived in Jingdezhen. We went directly to Taoxichuan Square. Our legs were too sore. After a brief stroll, we went back (I heard it looks pretty good here at night)


Food:We never expected that the best food would be in Jingdezhen. We specifically recommended a restaurant in Jingdezhen that "Go Home to Eat" and many places have it. We stopped in Jingdezhen for two days and had dinner here. The dishes are basically all available and they taste very good.



Day 10: Jingdezhen


Accommodation:I stayed there the same. I stayed at yesterday's B & B. It was really comfortable and quiet at night. The only drawback was that the water pressure was a little low.


Play:We set out around eleven o'clock. After eating, we went to the "Jingdezhen Chinese Ceramics Museum" and "Jingdezhen Folk Kiln Museum". They were too small and not recommended. We seemed to have gone to the wrong place. We should go to the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area. We just didn't visit it at night and went to eat something.


Food:I had breakfast and lunch together. I had mixed flour at a fly house on the roadside. It was really thick flour

I still eat at night "go home for dinner"


Day 11: Jingdezhen-Changsha


Accommodation:As usual, we usually depart at 10:11 a.m.. There are many accommodation options in Changsha. It is recommended that it be more convenient to live near Wuyi Square because we don't drive when we go out, so we leave the car in the hotel for two days. It takes about six and a half hours to seven hours from Jingdezhen to Changsha. The journey is quite long. I was originally scheduled to stop in Nanchang and then go to Changsha.


Play:The first day arrived and it was already evening. I didn't go anywhere except for dinner at Wuyi Square. It was already past nine o'clock after eating.


Food:What you have to talk about when you come to Changsha is delicious food, crayfish, tea color, stinky tofu (forgot to take photos)


Day 12: Changsha


Accommodation:Same as the day before, we booked directly for two nights


Play:We only went to one place, Juzizhou, and then we also went to Taiping Old Street


Food: We came to Changsha for delicious food. Haha, there are all kinds of snacks. Friends who like to eat can go near Changjun Middle School. They are all delicious food. There are so many delicious food. Please go directly to the picture above


Day 13: Changsha-Chenzhou-Guangzhou


We originally booked a trip to Chenzhou today, but unfortunately, when we had an hour to prepare to arrive in Chenzhou, we booked a hotel in advance. We were told that tourists passing through Guangzhou needed nucleic acid reports. Because we came out early, there was no nucleic acid reports. We originally wanted to go to Qingyuan for rafting, but we also needed nucleic acid reports, so in the end we decided to change our itinerary and return directly to Guangzhou.




concluding remarks


Generally speaking, it is recommended that you limit the drive to within 4 hours in each city, and it is best to have two drivers. Because this way you won't waste the day, you can go around again after arriving at your destination.


Everyone should be curious about how much we spent on this trip in total. You can tell you that it includes all the expenses of this trip, including fuel fees, tolls, accommodation fees, entrance fees, food, postal mail, etc., all the expenses add up to a little bit. It's 10000 yuan, a total of 9900+
