The 2-night stay at the Sheraton Zhenjiang R&F Hotel, which was purchased in October last year, was delayed until the expiration of its validity period. Although this trip coincided with the Spring Festival travel rush, with heavy traffic and congestion on the highways, the journey was still enjoyable and unforgettable. The entire journey is 665.2 kilometers. Due to having visited Zhenjiang and Yangzhou multiple times before, the arrangement of tourist attractions is relatively casual, mainly focused on burning incense.

The picture below shows Dinghui Temple in Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang.



January 10, 2020 (weather in Zhenjiang: light rain, 4 to 6 degrees)

Departing from my home in Pudong, Shanghai at 16:46.

On Friday evening, there was severe traffic congestion during peak hours, especially on the Central Ring Road where it was almost impossible to move, and it took too much time to get out of Shanghai city.

At 18:18, arrived at Sinopec Wanrong Road gas station and traveled a total of 24.4 kilometers. Adding 95 oil costs 320 yuan, 7.40 yuan/liter.

At 19:28, arrived at the Huxiang Expressway toll station and traveled a total of 49.1 kilometers.

At 20:07, arrived at Shaxi Service Area of Shenhai Expressway for rest, and traveled a total of 88.9 kilometers.

When planning to transfer from the Huwu Expressway to the Huning Expressway, I did not change lanes to the right lane in advance and was "trapped" by the long solid line. I had to get off at the next toll station on the Huwu Expressway. As a result, this journey was delayed for a considerable amount of time.

At 21:35, arrived at the Qishuyan toll station on the Shanghai Wuhan Expressway, traveled a total of 188 kilometers, and charged a toll of 62.84 yuan on the highway.

I could have turned around and taken the highway again, but the opposite lane was severely blocked in front of the toll station. I chose the ground road to head straight for the Shanghai Nanjing Expressway.

At 22:01, arrived at Qinglong Toll Station on the Shanghai Nanjing Expressway, and traveled a total of 206.7 kilometers.

I didn't expect to encounter traffic jams again on the Shanghai Nanjing Expressway.

Rest at Douzhuang Service Area on Shanghai Nanjing Expressway (omitted time and mileage).

At 23:18, at the Zhenjiang Toll Station of the Shanghai Nanjing Expressway Zhenjiang Branch, a total of 270.5 kilometers were traveled, and the toll for the highway was 27.35 yuan.

Stay at the Sheraton Zhenjiang Hotel, listed as a five-star deluxe room. Group purchase for 2 nights, totaling 699 yuan. The hotel is located diagonally opposite the Zhenjiang high-speed railway station and connected to Wanda Plaza. I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Hefei last year, and I feel that the room style at the Sheraton Hotel in Zhenjiang is similar, which I personally like. The bed is wide and comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom has a large area and a large bathtub. Although the hotel is located on the street and close to the high-speed railway station, it has good sound insulation and almost no outdoor noise can be heard at night. The central air conditioning and warm air are very comfortable, and there is no need to wear sweaters in the room.

As of that evening, the accumulated mileage was 287.5 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers.

If you miss this time, you can only exit the park through the entrance of the scenic area on Yanfu East Road.

Yipu, not far from the garden, is the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. This garden is relatively small and requires a ticket to enter. We couldn't go in and take a look after 5 pm.

When we returned, we tasted Fried Rice with lion's head and egg in this store. The storefront decoration is good, but the quantity of dishes is too small, which is not affordable.

Egg Fried Rice is also small.

Soup dumplings are not freshly made, but frozen.
