Whenever spring comes, I have an impulse--the idea of taking Ali to Jiangnan to find spring is particularly strong. I have made a self-driving tour plan more than once, but due to various reasons, it has not taken place. This year, I saw that the epidemic has ended, and I finally made up my mind to ask for annual leave from my leaders and set off for Jiangnan through the Qingming Festival.
Before departure, we formulated more feasible itinerary strategies: we set off at 8 o'clock on the first day and stayed in Yancheng at night, driving 950 kilometers for about 10 hours; on the second day, we went to Qianduo Water Rapeseed Flower Scenic Area in Xinghua, driving 90 kilometers for about one and a half hours. After the tour, we headed to Wuxi, which was about 3 hours away from 230 kilometers, and stayed in Wuxi at night; on the third day, we visited Yuantouzhu Scenic Area, and went to Suzhou in the afternoon and stayed in Suzhou at night; On the fourth day, visit Tongli Ancient Town, then drive 220 kilometers to Yangzhou for about 3 hours, and stay in Yangzhou at night; on the fifth day, visit Shouxi Lake in Yangzhou, then go to Kaifeng City, Henan Province, drive 650 kilometers for about 7.5 hours, and stay in Kaifeng at night; on the sixth day, visit Qingming Shanghe Garden, go to Luoyang National Peony Garden, drive 200 kilometers for about 2.5 hours, and stay in Luoyang at night; on the seventh day, return, drive 960 kilometers for about 11 hours. Since it was just the two of us, the travel time and tourist attractions were arranged relatively loose, and there was no tension and no fatigue.
On the first day, April 3, the first day of the Qingming Festival holiday, we set out as planned. Due to the large traffic on the highway during the short holiday, there were several traffic accidents, causing serious traffic jams. The original planned 10-hour drive took more than 11 hours, but it was not bad that we arrived in Yancheng at dark. Stayed at Lingxiang International Hotel in Yancheng for 258 yuan. When it comes to Yancheng Lingxiang International Hotel, I really advertise it well. The location of the hotel may be a bit off, but whether it is service quality, environmental sanitation, and hardware facilities, it should be said that it exceeds the level of a hotel at this price, especially the fully automatic toilet seat and large bathtub in the bathroom have been greatly improved. It is very worth recommending!
At about 8:30 the next morning, we had breakfast and went to Qianduo Scenic Area in Xinghua City, Taizhou. It was 90 kilometers away and reached around 10 o'clock in the scenic area time. Since it was the Qingming Festival holiday, all the parking lots were full of cars, so we had to park the car on the side of the avenue.
It is said that Qianduo was the Eight Trigrams Array set up by Yue Fei, the governor of Taizhou, and the Jin soldiers. Xinghua has an average altitude of less than 2 meters, and farmland is vulnerable to waterlogging. Therefore, during the dry season, local people dig up the soil from the water in low-lying areas and pile it up to higher places, creating island-like piles in the water. The piles of fields are of different sizes, different shapes, and are not connected to each other, so that no ship cannot travel. Looking at Duotian, you can see rivers and ports crisscross, and the stacks look like islands floating on the water. They are known as the "Land of Thousands of Islands". Whenever before and after the Qingming Festival, rapeseed flowers bloom, and blue skies, clear water, and golden islands weave a wonderful picture of "the river has thousands of bays and more clear waters, and the field has no pile of yellow flowers", so it is called "the most beautiful sea of rapeseed flowers in the world." If you want to see the beautiful scenery of the entire scenic area, you can climb to the pavilions and pavilions in the scenic area and overlook the entire sea of flowers. There are waterways in the sea of flowers. If you are interested, you can take a boat through the sea of flowers and enjoy this golden beauty from another angle. You may find a different kind of beauty and give you a different kind of play experience. If the weather conditions are satisfactory, you can see the golden sea of flowers in the fog, and you can vaguely see the glory in the fairyland haze, so you can't help but be intoxicated by this beautiful scenery. The peak period of rapeseed flowers is around the Qingming Festival, so it is recommended to go and play around this date. You will get enough beautiful wallpaper with a quick photo, so remember to take photos more. I have seen the sea of rapeseed flowers in my country. I have seen the sea on the banks of Qinghai Lake connected to a patch of rapeseed flowers, the endless sea of rapeseed flowers on the Hulunbuir Prairie, and the Wuyuan terraced sea of rapeseed flowers. The sea of rapeseed flowers in every place has its own characteristics and is very worth recommending. However, this is the first time I have seen the sea of rapeseed flowers here. It is really worthwhile and very worth recommending. Tickets: If you purchase tickets from major travel apps one day in advance, a group of 10 people can enjoy a preferential group price of 80 yuan.

The joint ticket (ticket + one-way ticket) is 90 yuan, and the ticket purchased at the window of the scenic spot is 100 yuan. The ticket is a one-way ticket. You can take either an electric boat or a rocking boat, but you can only take a one-way boat. It is recommended that you walk into the scenic area and visit on foot, and then take a cruise ship on the return journey. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of different rapeseed flowers on the water and land on the same day. Let's come and see this different sea of rapeseed on the water with thousands of piles of water!
