The three-year epidemic has really driven people crazy. As soon as the epidemic passed, people started "retaliatory" tourism. We are no exception. In this warm spring and fragrant season, we started our forty-day self-driving tour of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In fact, we planned the self-driving tour in Jiangsu and Zhejiang years ago, but it was delayed due to the epidemic. Therefore, we decided to have a good time on this self-driving tour and make up for all the losses we had in the past three years. We set out from Guangzhou in mid-March and visited 19 cities, counties and scenic spots in six provinces along the way, driving a total of more than 4800 kilometers.

Our tour routes: Guangzhou-Jieyang-Xiamen-Fuzhou-Wenzhou-Jinhua-Zhuji-Wuzhen-Shanghai-Suzhou-Wuxi-Zhenjiang-Yangzhou-Nanjing-Tongling-She County-Hongcun-Jingdezhen-Ji 'an-Longnan-Guangzhou

Usually, in addition to recording the cities and attractions we have visited, my travel notes are also used to recording in detail every hotel we have stayed in (I also write hotel reviews on Ctrip). After all, the biggest cost of a self-driving tour is accommodation. We care more about the comfort and sleep quality of the hotel, so we usually choose mid-range brand hotel chains such as Hampton Inn, Junlan, Grand Skylight, Atour, and Quanji when traveling. The quality is guaranteed and we have basically never stepped on thunder.

There is not much introduction to diet. First, people who have lived in Guangzhou for too long always feel that food anywhere is not as delicious as Cantonese food, and they are not interested in many local snacks just by looking at it. We didn't try too much; secondly, because we were most afraid of getting sick when we were out of town (even so, we, who are known as the "Steel Intestine and Iron Stomachs", still had stomach problems twice), we usually went to the local shopping center to eat, and we were more assured in terms of hygiene.

Everything is ready, let's go!

@ Jieyang:

Jieyang was just passing by for a night's rest and chose Xiatu International Hotel (Jieyang Yangmei High-speed Railway Station Store) on Ctrip. The twin-bed room I booked has an area of 35-40 square meters, two beds of 1.35 meters and double breakfast included. The price is only 181 yuan, which is unbelievable. Of course, it makes sense to be cheap. This hotel is really a bit far from the city. It takes about half an hour to drive to Jieyang's landmark Jieyang Building or Tianhong Shopping Center. In fact, the conditions of the hotel are really good in all aspects. If you don't care about the distance, choosing this hotel is really good for money.

Jieyang Building.

@ Xiamen

Hampton Inn Xiamen City Plaza. Hampton Inn by Hilton has always been our first choice for travel, and this hotel in Xiamen has not disappointed us. The design of this hotel draws on the pattern of Hakka enclosed houses. The interior of the entire building is circular, and the rooms are also arranged around the building along the circular inner corridor. The hollow area of the building is a huge cafeteria. The buffet breakfast is quite diverse, and the dining environment is spacious and comfortable.

Xiamen is my favorite city. I have been here a few times before, and this time I want to find some places I haven't been to.

Xiamen Shapowei. Shapowei is the origin of Xiamen Port and has been used as a safe haven since the Qing Dynasty. The early Xiamen Port was an arc-shaped bay. The bay in this area was crescent-shaped and the golden sandy beaches were connected into one piece, so it was known as "Jade Sand Slope". The south side of Shapowei is adjacent to Nanputuo Temple and Xiamen University. Because this is the end of a large beach, sand from all over the place flows here, it is named Shapowei. This place was here a few years ago. It was not yet fully developed at that time, and it was dilapidated everywhere. Today, Shapowei Art West District is much more beautiful. Shapowei Art West District has become a popular check-in place in Xiamen, attracting many young people. Come check in and take photos.

The last time I came here, there was no such "Twin Towers".

Sit outside the coffee shop on the street and drink a cup of coffee and watch the tourists pass by.

Yanwu Bridge viewing platform. Arriving at this new Internet celebrity check-in place at night, to be honest, it was really beautiful.

Huwei Mountain Park Health Trail. This place should not be considered a tourist attraction. I don't know why, but I just really want to take a walk. Anyway, hiking is our favorite sport.

Cherry Blossom Valley next to the trail. At this time, flowers are in full bloom in the Cherry Blossom Valley, and tourists are crowded with weaving.

The world at sea. Xiamen Sea World is a newly opened commercial complex in 2022. We had no impression of this place at all. After we came back, we sorted out the photos and found out that we had been there, and we didn't leave many good photos.

Ten miles long embankment. This is a beach near the Jimei School District. It is also a playground for young people. You can see the youthful atmosphere of wantonly. Some people are sitting idle on the lawn, some are leaning on the railing by the sea, some are singing loudly, some are sitting quietly and watching...

@ Fuzhou

Homewood Hilton Fuzhou Cangshan. This is my first stay at Homewood by Hilton. Unexpectedly, this hotel greatly exceeded our expectations. First of all, the front desk staff are particularly helpful and meticulous, making them feel at home. There is actually a self-service coffee and tea bar in the lobby. It feels good to make yourself a cup of coffee every day when I come back to the hotel. Secondly, the hard decoration materials of the room are very good, the decoration is very high-end, and the details are perfect. The room and bathroom are large and equipped with smart toilets. The sink is also big enough to place my various skin care products at will. But I also have a few minor complaints, such as too few TV channels, and the pillow is too soft for me, which affects my sleep a little. I can't say anything else. I am very satisfied!

Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural District, Fuzhou. In its early years, it was Fuzhou's commercial center and shipping terminal."Hang" actually originated from the sound of "navigation". Shangxiahang was once the head of Jinkou in Fuzhou. This ancient neighborhood, once famous for its commercial prosperity, has now become another Internet celebrity attraction in Fuzhou. Walking along this ancient street full of the imprints of the times, it feels like time is slowly passing by here, time is silently meeting here, sometimes far, sometimes near...

Fuzhou Fudao (Fuzhou Urban Forest Trail). It adopts the country's first steel frame hollow design. The main axis is 6.3 kilometers long and the loop line is about 19 kilometers long, running through five parks in Fuzhou. We followed the route recommended by netizens, entering at Port 3 and exiting at Port 5. This section is the essence of the blessing road, and there are fewer uphill roads and more downhill roads in this direction. Even so, I was very tired from walking. My husband and I agreed that we would never take the fitness trail again when traveling in the future ^_^

Yantai Mountain in Fuzhou-Cangshan for short, also known as Tengshan, and Meiwu in ancient times. "A garden, a road, a clump of flowers, a house, and a driver all have poetry. What's especially cute is when the sun is faint in the evening, a bell sounds from the chapel and several girls with flower paper umbrellas pass by under the green shade." This is the description of Yantai Mountain by the great literary magnate Ye Shengtao. Yantai Mountain is a direct witness to Fuzhou's modern diplomacy, commerce and shipping history. Consulate from many countries such as the United States, Britain, Japan, Norway, and Sweden have once been located here. It retains a large number of Fuzhou-style historical buildings that combine Chinese and Western, and thus has the reputation of the "Museum of Architecture of the World."

@ Wenzhou

Wenrenyuan Hotel (Wenzhou Ouhai District Government Store). I chose this hotel because it had a fairly high rating on Ctrip. After entering the store, I found that its high rating was reasonable. The hotel has too many warm little details, which makes people feel really comfortable. When checking in at the front desk, lemonade, snacks and delicious roasted sweet potatoes will be served (the roasted sweet potatoes in his house are really fragrant and delicious. The key point is that I didn't expect to smell and eat them in the lobby of a hotel. Taste roasted sweet potatoes). The small refrigerator in the room is equipped with bottled water, soft drinks, snacks, wogan and other things, all for guests to consume for free. The hotel even provides guests with free lunches and late snacks. The hotel has a gym and laundry room. The room is equipped with massage chairs and air purifiers, which is a bit beyond imagination.

Impression of Nantang. On the evening of the day I arrived in Wenzhou, I went to Impression Nantang. This place should have been newly built in recent years, because I didn't seem to have heard of this place when I came here a few years ago. Because it rained and it was not a weekend, there were not many people and it felt a little deserted.

Visiting Wenzhou again, the wind and rain accompany you. The next morning, I planned to visit Wenzhou Jiangxin Island, one of China's four famous islands, but the ferry crossing the river was suspended due to heavy fog.

Immediately move to Wuma Pedestrian Street. Visiting Wuma Street again, I feel much more spacious, high-end and beautiful than a few years ago.

After eating a bowl of the local snack "Almond Rot", I felt just so-so.

In the afternoon, I took a taxi to Sanyang Wetland Park recommended by the locals. As a result, it took less than 20 minutes to enter the park when it rained heavily and I rushed all the way to the gate to shelter from the rain. I was already half wet.

He then took a taxi to Vientiane City, where he ate a pot of steaming garlic fragrant frogs, which made up for his disappointment. The trip to Wenzhou ended in the rain. When I came back to sort out the photos, I found that I had hardly taken a good photo in Wenzhou.

@ Jinhua

Jinhua Junlan Hotel. We were so pleasantly surprised and satisfied with this hotel. The overall scale of the hotel is large, and the garden-style buildings and courtyard layout are both atmospheric and tasteful. The room and toilet are also spacious and have a cloakroom. The bedding and towels are snow-white, which makes people feel at ease at first glance. The toilet is separated from dry and wet for easy use. Welcome fruits but don't deal with them. There are apples, bananas and mangoes, which are of good quality. The hotel's breakfast buffet surprised us even more. We haven't seen such a rich hotel breakfast buffet in years. It's a bit dazzling. The restaurant is very big and the dining environment is very good. All in all, there was almost no fault (other than not providing a shower cap).

I went to Guzi City that afternoon. "Guzicheng is an ancient city with a history of more than 1700 years and the root of Jinhua's city. As the ancient political and cultural center of Jinhua, there are many cultural relics and historical buildings in the city, which have been well preserved." (Excerpted from Ctrip. com)

When we went there, there were almost no tourists, perhaps because it was not a weekend and it was raining.

However, there are several shops selling cakes on the roadside that attracted us. The cakes are all made and sold immediately. There are not many people who buy them, and they should be local people. I took a fancy to the meat pie here. The owner was an old man. When he heard that I wanted to buy one, he immediately picked up a freshly made pie and put it in a baking pan to bake it, telling me that I would wait five or six minutes. My husband took a fancy to the "Lao Li Pancakes" next door because there were more people buying them. In fact, the ones I bought were better. This meat pie gave me endless aftertaste and talked about it for many days. Unfortunately, I have never encountered such a delicious meat pie on the way.

Passing by the "Jinhua Ham Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum", I went in to visit it and bought a bag of ready-to-eat shredded ham.

The next day, I went to Hengdian Film and Television City in the rain. In the morning, I went to the New Yuanmingyuan (Spring Garden) Scenic Area (this scenic area is not suitable for filming films and television dramas). There are almost no tourists in this huge scenic area. The park in the rain seems a bit lonely and beautiful. At that time, all kinds of flowers in the garden were in full bloom and fell all over the ground, allowing us to stay for a long time.

In the afternoon, I went to the Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street Scenic Area (classmates said that I might meet the filming crew and celebrities ^_^). I felt that it was nothing more than that. It was a bit useless. If I weren't passing by, there was really no need to make a special trip.

@ Zhuji

Wyndham Herui Zhuji. The Wyndham Hotel is also our favorite choice for traveling. The Wyndham Hotel is also very good. The hotel lobby is very spacious and the room is relatively large. It just feels that the bathroom is a little small, maybe because of the bathtub. The bedding towels are white and clean, and there is no smell in the wardrobe. The underground parking lot is large and free, making parking convenient for self-driving tours. The breakfast in the hotel is very rich and the restaurant is very large.

Zhuji City has a long history and rich humanity. It is the former place of the State of Yue, the hometown of Xi Shi, and the place where King Gou Jian of Yue attempted to restore the country.

The hometown of Xi Shi.

The dried plum vegetable sesame cakes we ate in the hometown of Xi Shi were so delicious that people licked their noses. I didn't want to try anything else later, for fear of destroying the beautiful impression left by the dried plum vegetable sesame cakes on us.

Hangzhou Xixi Wetland Park. On the way to Wuzhen, I took a turn and went to Hangzhou Xixi Wetland Park. Today is the weekend and there are many tourists in the park, which makes it quite lively. Tourists lined up at the cruise ship terminal waiting for a boat. We decided not to take the boat anymore and walked on the shore to feel the taste of spring.

Many years ago, the movie "If You Are the One" was filmed here, and these words are still here.

@ Wuzhen

Hampton Inn by Hilton Wuzhen. During this visit to Wuzhen, I originally planned to live in the Xizha Scenic Area as before. However, when the price increased a lot, I decided to live outside the scenic area. I have been concerned about this newly opened Hampton Inn by Hilton since it opened. It is very close to the Xizha Scenic Area, only a few hundred meters, making it easy to enter and exit the scenic area. This hotel did not let us down, especially the mattress and pillows in his house, which were very suitable for my needs. I have stayed in several hotels of similar class along the way, and only his house had the most comfortable sleep.

This self-driving tour in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was accompanied by wind and rain. I didn't expect that the sun would come out when I visited Wuzhen today. Wuzhen was the highlight of our trip. God really cared for us. Today's Dongzha doesn't have the crowded scene of people you encountered before. Can you believe that such a deserted street is Dongzha? On the contrary, there are many more people in Xizha. I feel that there are more people traveling freely, and fewer people traveling in groups. Along the way, I also met many beautiful women wearing Chinese costumes and taking photos.

In front of the Conflict Memorial Hall, primary school students are taking photos. It should be beneficial to bring more children to such places. I remember when I was a child, I found an anthology of contradictions in my father's bookcase and flipped through it repeatedly. It had a subtle influence on my future writing.

Wuzhen Grand Theater. "Completed and put into use in 2013, it is the main venue of the first Wuzhen International Theater Festival. The overlooking is like a lotus blooming on the lake. The exterior wall is decorated with ancient Beijing bricks and old ship wood ice-cracked window mullions. The interior consists of two theaters, a large theater and a middle school theater, which can accommodate 1500 spectators. With its beautiful and unique shape, professional stage facilities and advanced acoustic and optical equipment, Wuzhen Grand Theater ranks among the world-class theaters."

Wuzhen Muxin Art Museum. Unfortunately, the museum was closed on Monday and I couldn't visit it.

Nanxun Ancient Town. It is only more than half an hour's drive from Wuzhen Scenic Area. I took a detour on the way from Wuzhen to Shanghai. I felt that it was not as beautiful as Wuzhen, and there were more people than Wuzhen. The peach blossoms here are also particularly red. According to local people, this peach tree only blooms and does not bear fruit.

@ Shanghai

Shanghai daning international adore hotel. I like the small and fresh style of Atour Hotel. I am also a member of Atour, but I have stayed less when traveling before. The main reason is that the room area is small, which is a bit too big for us with long hands and feet. When I came to Shanghai this time, I saw that the hotel rooms at the same price range were not large, so I would rather stay in Ator and enjoy its high-quality services. This Aduo really didn't disappoint us. Although the room was not large, it was well decorated and had everything it needed. It was a very comfortable stay. Especially I love its smart toilet so much. As soon as people approach the toilet cover, it automatically lifts it up. The warm seat ring is so comfortable to sit on it. As soon as people leave, the toilet will automatically flush and cover it automatically. There is no need to use hands during the entire process. Breakfast is not too rich, but of good quality. From 9:30 to 11:00 every night, guests are also provided with free porridge. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. I originally planned to book it for two nights first and try it out, but I felt good after checking in and extended my stay for another two nights.

On the night we arrived in Shanghai, we found a restaurant on the Internet with good online reviews. His business was very strong and he had to queue up for a number. The dishes were indeed very good. We had our first meal in Shanghai and we were very satisfied with it.

"It's a beautiful scenery in Jiangnan, and I meet you again when the flowers fall." - Tang Li Bai

The happiest part of this trip to Shanghai was to be able to meet several old classmates in Shanghai. Everyone pushed and changed cups and had a very happy conversation. Recalling the green years we spent together as students, I felt a lot of emotion. The tight hug at parting almost made me cry.

Sinan Road. Sinan Road, formerly known as Rue Massenet, was built in 1914 in memory of Massener, the famous French musician who passed away on August 13, 1912. Sinan Road was the French Concession at that time. In addition to the tall French sycamore trees on both sides of the road, there were more than 20 garden-style houses, which recorded the history of the city.

Sun Yat-sen's former residence is also located on this road, so I went in and visited it.

People's Square. It is a veritable Shanghai landmark, and the Shanghai City Highway Zero Kilometer Mark is located here. Municipal buildings, Shanghai Grand Theater, Shanghai Museum, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street are all gathered around. At this time, in the People's Park next to the square, the flowering crabapple flowers were in full bloom, and passers-by stopped to take photos.

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street/The Bund. When foreigners come to Shanghai, they definitely have to walk Nanjing Road and the Bund. Walking from West to East from People's Square, you will reach Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and the Bund is at the end of the street. Unfortunately, the weather was too bad to take good photos, but at least the rain stopped.

The Oriental Pearl River and surrounding buildings on the other side of the Huangpu River represent the highest point of Shanghai.

Huangpu River pedestrian tunnel. We actually wanted to buy tickets, so we took a look next to them and left.

We stayed on the Bund for an afternoon and waited until the lights came on before taking a night view. During this period, we also enjoyed an expensive afternoon tea at the famous Peace Hotel.

Yu Garden. An elegant ancient garden is one of the oldest royal gardens in China and one of the largest existing ancient luxury palace buildings in China. Perhaps it is because few people can savor its beauty carefully, but after returning, my husband still praised Yu Garden and thought it was better than several gardens in Suzhou.

City God Temple. A place full of worldly fireworks and secular flavor, and it is also a must-check place for foreign tourists after arriving in Shanghai. I don't like this noisy and commercial place very much, so I just want to accompany my husband for a visit.

Xintiandi. Shanghai's top ten landmark buildings are an urban tourist attraction with Shanghai's historical and cultural features and the integration of China and the West. They are also a place where young people gather for petty bourgeoisie!

The bread in this house is expensive and delicious ^_^

Memorial Hall at the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China. This is the birthplace of the Communist Party of China and the spiritual home of Chinese Communists.

On the way from Shanghai to Suzhou, I passed the Yangcheng Lake Service Area, known as the most beautiful service area in China. There were many people who came here. The appearance of the service area looks very atmospheric, and the white walls and black tiles are very local. The scale inside is also quite large, but the lighting effect is too strong, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

However, the open-air view behind the service area is quite beautiful.

@ Suzhou

Hampton Inn by Hilton Suzhou Jinji Lake. The rooms in this hotel are extremely large and the beds are as comfortable as ever. I originally booked it for two nights, but it felt good and I renewed it for another night. There is a Manjiangyu Chinese restaurant next door to the hotel, which is cheap and delicious.

At noon that day, a classmate from Suzhou (who was also the eldest sister of our class) invited us to have a meal of local cuisine at Huayuan Restaurant on Ligong Causeway. Suzhou cuisine was also quite exquisite and exquisite, and felt comparable to Cantonese cuisine.

The last time I came to Suzhou, I was also accompanied by classmates throughout the entire journey. She once told me that according to Suzhou's regional development pattern, locals call the Laocheng District "Old Suzhou", the high-tech development zone in the west "New Suzhou", and the Suzhou Industrial Park in the east "Yang Suzhou", and the Jinji Lake where we are currently located is located is located in Yang Suzhou.

After dinner, stroll on the Ligong embankment of Jinji Lake with my classmates. Ligong Causeway is located in Suzhou Industrial Park in the eastern part of the city."It is the only long Causeway in Suzhou Jinji Lake, the largest inner city lake in China, with a total length of 1400 meters. Ligong Dike retains the traditional architectural form of Suzhou houses, with multiple small bridges connecting each island. The layout of Suzhou ancient garden-style, and the main colors of gray, white and black show the charm of the Jiangnan water town. At night, the unique lighting landscape makes Ligong Dike a colorful ribbon floating on the water surface of Jinji Lake at night (Introduction to Ctrip).

After bidding farewell to our classmates, we drove to Yuanrong Times Square/Jiuguang Department Store in Suzhou, Suzhou. My classmates brought me here last time and I was deeply impressed, so I wanted to visit the old place again.

When I first came to Suzhou in 2017, I saw Suzhou in front of me as a fresh and peaceful city in the misty rain. I still vividly remember walking along Pingjiang Street with my classmates holding umbrellas. This time, what I saw was a different scene. Every attraction is crowded with people, giving people the feeling of encountering a Golden Week. The Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou Museum, Pingjiang Road Historical and Cultural District, and Nanyuan Garden we visited today are all like this. However, the weather was quite strong, revealing the rare sunshine along the way.

Humble Administrator's Garden. When I went there, there was a long line in the front row of Humble Administrator's Garden, and there were estimated to be hundreds of people. The park is also crowded with tourists, which really affects the enjoyment of tourism. Walking by the water's edge, I am afraid of being squeezed into the water, so I walked around briefly and left.

Suzhou Museum. The Suzhou Museum next door was also crowded with people. The long queue is about hundreds of meters long, but since you are here, you must go in and have a look. The new Suzhou Museum was designed by I.M. Pei, a master architect whose ancestral home was in Suzhou. It can be said to be the master's final work. The master was already over eighty years old at that time, but he traveled back and forth between China and the United States several times for this reason, and personally inspected the Humble Administrator's Garden and Zhong's Mansion next to it, hoping to harmoniously connect the new museum with the surrounding buildings. At the same time, the design of the new building also draws on the style of Suzhou's classical gardens."The bamboos and trees in the garden are beautiful in posture and soft in lines. In contrast with the rigidity and softness of the building, they produce a beauty of harmony."

Pingjiang Road Historical and Cultural District. There seemed to be more people here, and they had no interest in shopping at all. They quickly found a deserted road and left.

Yuyuan. The original name of Shiyuan is Sheyuan. It is located in Xiaoxinqiao Lane, Cang Street, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It was built by Lu Jin, the prefect of Baoning during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It takes the meaning of "the garden is visited every day to become interesting" in Tao Yuanming's "Return to Come Xi Ci". Huangshi is the characteristic of Shiyuan. Qiyuan is a national key cultural relic protection unit and has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO. This garden is named Yan Garden because there is a garden on the east and west sides of the house. The north and south revetment docks are one of the characteristics of Geyuan, fully showing the characteristics of Suzhou that "people are sleeping on the river." (Excerpted from 360 Encyclopedia)

Huqiu Mountain Scenic Area. Suzhou's 5A-level scenic spot is called the No. 1 Mountain in Wuzhong (in fact, the mountain height is only about 34 meters high). In the scenic area, there are Yan Zhenqing's authentic work "Tiger Hill Sword Pond" and Yunyan Temple Tower, known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in China, which is an integral part of the Grand Canal National Park. Tiger Hill is really just a small hill, only about 30 meters high. Looking from the main entrance (south gate) of the scenic area, the shape of the mountain is very similar to that of a tiger sitting on the mountain. The main entrance is like a tiger's mouth, the hills are like a tiger's ridge, and the Yunyan Temple Pagoda (also known as the Tiger Hill Pagoda) behind it is like a tiger's tail. It is said that this is also the reason why the Tiger Hill got its name. The more famous attractions in Huqiu include Yunyan Temple Pagoda, Sword Pond, Thousand People's Stone, Sword Testing Stone, Hanhan Spring, Pillow Stone, etc.

There is a story about this "Shenggong Platform" and "Nodding Stone". Interested people can check it out online.

Lingering in the garden. "The Lingering Garden, together with Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden, Beijing Summer Palace, and Chengde Summer Resort, are collectively known as the four famous gardens in China. In the park, pavilions, strange stone corridors, plus the green garden and a clear water pond, the scenery is beautiful. Here, you can experience the bland atmosphere between the garden and landscape."

Guanqian Street. Located in Gusu District, Suzhou City, it is named Guanqian Street because of the famous ancient temple Xuanmiao Temple. It is now a snack street in Suzhou. We ate a bowl of noodles at Tong Dexing recommended by the taxi driver, but the taste was nothing more than this.

Panmen Scenic Area. It is the only remaining relic of the ancient city gate in Suzhou and the only existing water and land gate in the country. It has extremely high historical and cultural relics value. There is a saying that "looking at the majestic Great Wall in the north and looking at the show of Panmen in the south." This scenic spot is far away from the urban area and is relatively small. There are not many tourists in the scenic spot.

Hampton Inn Suzhou Wujiang East Taihu Lake. In order to visit the Suzhou Bay Golden Lake Scenic Area, I booked another night at the Hampton Inn here. The room was also very large, and the bed was as clean and comfortable as ever. During check-in, the beautiful girl at the front desk kept telling everyone about everything patiently and carefully with a smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

Located on the bank of East Taihu Lake in Wujiang, Suzhou Bay Grand Theater was designed by international architect Christian de Bauzanbach. Its total construction area is about two Sydney Grand Theatres and is the third largest theater complex in the country. The Ruyi Bridge on the west side of Yuehutai extends 211 meters into Taihu Lake, like two eight-shaped streamers. Together with the Grand Theater, it forms a complete urban water landscape of the East Taihu Lake Mountains and has become a niche check-in place in Suzhou.

Tongli Ancient Town. On the way to Wuxi, I took a detour to Tongli Ancient Town. This 5A attraction really let us down. Not to mention the expensive tickets, the ancient town also felt very dilapidated. It had no aesthetic feeling like a Jiangnan water town. I don't know where the ticket money was used. We walked inside for less than an hour before leaving in disappointment.

@ Wuxi

Hampton Inn Wuxi East Railway Station. For the first two days, I chose another hotel because I wanted to stay closer to the scenic spot. After staying for two nights, I really felt uncomfortable. The room layout was not good and the water in the shower was scattered like a fairy flower. In the end, I decided to go to this Hampton Inn at East Station. The room in this room is also relatively large, and the beds and pillows are as clean and comfortable as ever. I am very sad that I finally took a comfortable hot bath and finally had a good sleep in the past few days.

Qingming Bridge Ancient Canal Scenic Area. Located in the center of Wuxi City, there are both antique water town buildings and real old-style old houses. The current ancient streets are mostly filled with bars and restaurants. Although there are many tourists, the streets are clean and wide, and the buildings are pleasing to the eye. It should be regarded as one of the most successfully operated antique pedestrian streets in China.

Nanchang Street. Once you enter the archway, you will find the famous Nanchang Street. There are almost no indigenous people on this street. It is full of various shops. Most tourists visit this street, shopping, and eating. The whole street is very lively.

Yuantouzhu, Taihu Lake, Wuxi. It is an excellent place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake."Taihu Lake is the best place, after all, in Yuantou." The Cherry Blossom Valley in Yuantouzhu is very famous and is known as the best place to admire cherry blossoms in China. Unfortunately, we came a little late and missed the prosperous period of cherry blossoms.

There is an arch bridge in the scenic area. The three words "Changchun Bridge" on the bridge are handwritten by my classmate's grandfather, which makes me proud.

Liyuan. Located on the bank of the beautiful Li Lake in Wuxi City, it is one of the main attractions in the national key scenic spot "Taihu Lake". Li Lake was originally named Qihu and Wuli Lake. It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li, a doctor of the State of Yue, and the beauty Xi Shi, sailed here. The lake was named after the people, and the garden was named after the lake. When I went there, peach blossoms were in full bloom around Li Lake. It was really flowers blooming around Li Lake, and people were walking in lace. The willows are green, the peach blossoms are demonic, the water is sparkling, and the flowers are falling one after another, making people forget to leave.

Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Spot. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot. After entering the scenic spot from the gate, you bypass the Lingshan Dazhao Wall where Zhao Puchu inscribed the inscription, and you will see a vast area in front of you.

Walk all the way along the central axis of the scenic area, pass the Buddhist Football Arena, and you will see the spectacular Kowloon Bath in front of you. At this time, many tourists were already waiting for the performance time for Kowloon to take a bath.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the performance began.

"The soothing and melodious music of" Buddha's Birthday "sounded in the wilderness under the blue sky and white clouds. The deep and profound commentary went straight to people's hearts. People couldn't help but respect and enter the world of the Holy Spirit amidst the sound of nature. I saw six huge lotus petals slowly blooming, and a gold-plated Buddha statue of the Prince slowly rose among the petals. With one finger at the sky and the other finger at the ground, it seemed as if a Buddha had been born in the sky and looked down on the mortal world. Suddenly, the music became intense, and a water column dozens of meters high suddenly sprayed out of Jiulong's mouth, concentrated on the crown prince's head to bathe him. At this time, drums were singing from all directions in the square, the valley echoed, and the ponds and fountains were in various shapes, and water splashed everywhere. People were all excited and filled with emotion. The Buddha statue of the Prince surrounds it in a huge water curtain, symbolizing "flowers bloom to see the Buddha" and "Buddha shines brightly". The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax. As the music gradually faded, the lotus petals wrapped around the prince slowly closed, the nine dragons stopped spraying water, everything returned to normal, and people's mood gradually subsided." (Excerpted from the Internet)

According to the performance schedule of the scenic area, after watching the performance of the Kowloon Bath Buddha, I immediately went to the Fan Palace to watch the large-scale performance.

The copper Buddha statue in the scenic area is 88 meters high and is said to be the largest Buddha statue in the world. It takes more than 200 steps to climb from the ground to reach the foot of the Buddha, but the Buddha's feet are too big to hug, so I can only touch my toes.

Zen Town·Nianhua Bay. It is an important part of Lingshan Buddhist culture. It is generally based on "Zen" as the theme element. The scenic area is full of flowers and scenery, which can be easily picked up. Although it is a man-made landscape, it is still intoxicating.

This is my husband's first time in Wuxi and lamented that these attractions in Wuxi are very good and left a good impression.

On the way to the next stop in Zhenjiang, I stopped by the Hailan Pegasus Water City. This is a newly built artificial attraction by Hailan Group, and it is easy to take photos to produce large films.

@ Zhenjiang

This was the first time I stayed at the Quanji Hotel. Because a friend introduced it that the Quanji Hotel was good, I chose this Quanji Hotel, which is not far from Xijin Ferry when I visited Zhenjiang. I have checked several stores in the season before, and I feel that the rooms are all too small. This room is big enough. Except for the sink that is slightly small and inconvenient to place various skincare bottles, cans and cans, there are basically no problems. What I am most satisfied with is that the height and hardness of the pillow, the hardness and hardness of the mattress and the thickness of the quilt are all very suitable for me, allowing me to sleep comfortably for two nights. The night light in his house is also very reasonably designed. It is right next to the bed. The sensor night light will turn on when you get up in the middle of the night, and it will automatically go out after going to bed. Smart toilets can flush automatically, but sometimes they will strike and require manual use.

Xijin Ferry. Perhaps it was due to the weekend, this trip to Xijin Ferry was no longer as quiet and tranquil as the last time. There were tourists everywhere.

The last time we came here, we had a dinner in this small and cozy Italian restaurant that we miss very much. Now the place is empty, which is a bit sad. Some people and some things will not stay there forever waiting for you.

In the evening, every restaurant in Xijindu had to queue up to wait, so I had to take a taxi to the Bafenbao restaurant in the city (I had eaten in Yangzhou last time and I was deeply impressed. This time I found that Yangzhou was gone, but there were a few restaurants in Zhenjiang) and had a reasonably satisfactory dinner.

China Zhenjiang Vinegar Culture Museum. The last time I came here, I encountered a special person leading tourists to visit and introduce them to the whole place. After a detailed tour, I was not very interested this time.

Jinshan Park. I came here all the way because of the water in the Legend of the White Snake flooding the mountains. It feels like it's just an ordinary park.

@ Yangzhou

Hampton Inn by Hilton Yangzhou East High-Speed Railway Station. There are no problems in other aspects. After all, the Hampton Inn is a brand hotel, and the quality of each hotel is guaranteed. I also gave each hotel a five-star rating, but I deducted some points for the review of this hotel because the water temperature and water pressure of his shower were too low. I didn't dare to wash my hair after staying for two nights, so I had to rinse it out briefly.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, together with the Great Wall and the Kanerjing, is known as the three great projects in ancient China, while Yangzhou is a shining pearl next to the Grand Canal.

Yangzhou Dongguan Ancient Ferry-It was once an ancient ferry crossing on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Dongguan Street-The most representative historical street in Yangzhou City and a must-visit place for foreign tourists.

This simple food is still there, and it seems to have become an Internet celebrity store. There are so many people that I can't get in. I wonder if I specifically mentioned his home in my travel notes last time and helped them advertise.^_^

There was a long line in front of Xiao Liuzi's old goose stall. I didn't know whether to buy ducks or geese.

Geyuan. The south gate of Geyuan is on Dongguan Street. You can drop in and have a look when shopping. This private garden of Yangzhou salt merchants 'residence in the Qing Dynasty is famous for its planting of green bamboos and its rockery in the spring, summer, autumn and winter. Geyuan is one of the four major gardens in China. It integrates the rules of gardening with the principles of landscape painting. It is praised as an "isolated case in China" by Mr. Chen Congzhou, the master of the garden.

Slender West Lake. "There are six out of thirty West Lakes in the world." Only the West Lake in Yangzhou is unique to all lakes with its delicate and graceful charm, and it occupies the appropriate word "thin". Slender West Lake should be the most famous scenic spot in Yangzhou. Slender West Lake was originally known as Baohe. Wang Hang, a poet from Hangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a seven-point poem "Ode to Baohe"."Poplar trees continue to pick up remnants, and goose teeth and red bridges draw pictures. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake." The name of Slender West Lake was passed down in this way.

The "Xu Garden" in Slender West Lake was once the private garden of Xu Baoshan, the great warlord. The inscription at the door was Mr. Feng (known as Mr. Feng), a famous calligrapher in Yangzhou at that time. Speaking of Mr. Feng's inscription for this garden, it is said that there is also an interesting story. Take a closer look. One of the two characters is running script and the other is cursive script. Moreover, the upright head in the middle of the word "Xu" is a typo; while the word "Yuan" is a tiger in the middle, implying that Xu Baoshan is a tiger in a cage.

On the way from Yangzhou to Nanjing, I first went to the China Grand Canal Museum. Because you are not allowed to enter without making an online reservation in advance (those who are over seventy can enter directly without making an appointment), it can be said that you take advantage of your pleasure and return home in defeat. Only a few photos of "visiting here" were left.

Sanwan Park next to the museum. This red "paper-cutting bridge" is very beautiful.

@ Nanjing

Yaduo hotel, wangfu street, xinjiekou, nanjing. Because the family in Shanghai was relatively satisfied, Nanjing also chose Aduo. This hotel is located in Nanjing's lively Xinjiekou, making it easy to shop.

By the way, for several famous attractions in Nanjing, all free ones need to be booked online in advance; if you need to buy tickets, it is also best to buy online in advance. There are too many people on site. The most regrettable thing this time is that we couldn't book a visit to the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, because online reservations can usually only be made within one week, and the number of reservations within one week has long been full. Perhaps this kind of scenic spot, which is both famous and free of tickets, is more popular among group tours. I remembered that when I came to visit the previous two times, I could only enter by queuing for a while.

Nanjing Museum. After arriving in Nanjing, I went to the Nanjing Museum on the way to the hotel. After arriving, I realized that an appointment was needed, and even if I made an appointment in advance, there was still a long queue for people to enter the museum. I really sigh that the times have changed. When I came here a few years ago, it was still deserted. Since when did Chinese people like museums? Of course, this is a gratifying phenomenon.

When I went to the service desk for consultation, the beautiful lady there told us that my appointments for the next week were full, but we could always pay attention to whether anyone canceled the appointment on their Mini programs, and then we would put the number up and maybe we could get it. After waiting for a while, I felt almost hopeless, so I drove to the hotel. While waiting for the red light on the way, I opened the Mini programs and took a look. I actually posted a batch number and quickly grabbed two afternoon numbers. It was already past 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and the afternoon visit time started at 12 o'clock. We decisively turned around and came to the museum again. We quickly lined up to enter the museum. We felt that our character was really great!

I had a simple lunch in the cafe on the first floor of the museum, and later found that the cafe in the top-floor garden had a better environment.

This is an exhibition hall specially set up for people with disabilities.

Xinjiekou Pedestrian Street. Xinjiekou is a lively shopping place in Nanjing. It is not far from our hotel. We went for a stroll in the evening.

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. "Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer of modern democratic revolution in China. The mausoleum building is symmetrically arranged on the gentle slope at the southern foot of Zhongmao Mountain according to the north-south central axis. Looking down from the sky, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum looks like a reclining" Freedom Bell ", taking the meaning of" Muduo warning the world ". The tripod of filial piety at the foot of the mountain is the steeple of the bell, the half-moon square is the arc of the bell top, and the dome of the tomb at the top of the tomb is like a round pendulum hammer. It means "arousing the people to build the Republic of China." There is a tall granite archway at the entrance to the tomb with the two gold characters "Charity" written by Sun Yat-sen. Starting from the archway to the memorial hall, there are 392 stone steps, representing the 392 million compatriots in China at that time; there are 8 platforms, symbolizing the Five Rights Constitution of the Three People's Principles. The steps are made of Suzhou granite." (Excerpted from 360 Encyclopedia)

I heard from the tour guide next to me that when looking up at the 392 steps, I can't see the platform, which symbolizes the ups and downs in the process of the Chinese revolution; when looking down, I can't see the platform but not the steps, implying a smooth land after the success of the revolution.

Meiling Palace. "On June 1, 1929, Song Meiling attended Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Feng 'an Ceremony with Chiang Kai-shek. She saw the vast mountains and rivers of Xiaohong Mountain area east of Sifang City in the Ming Dynasty, vast forests of forests, and peaceful environment. She asked Chiang Kai-shek to build a villa here. It could be used for the two to rest halfway while going to visit the tomb. Because Zijinshan is also known as Jiangshan, and villas were built on Jiangshan. The country is surnamed Jiang, the mountain is surnamed Jiang, and the villas are also surnamed Jiang. It is made in heaven and is in harmony with heaven and earth, so this idea is exactly in line with Chiang Kai-shek's mind. Completed in 1932, it was originally intended to be the residence of the chairman of the National Government, but later converted into a lounge for senior officials who went to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Meiling Palace is a three-story building. Cars can go straight to the palace gate along the mountain road. It is surrounded by lush trees and fragrant flowers." (Excerpted from 360 Encyclopedia)

The first two times I came to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, I missed Meiling Palace for various reasons. I must come and visit this time. Looking at the decoration and instructions inside the house, I feel that the life of the Jiang Song couple was already quite luxurious at that time. In addition, Song Meiling is also a person with a talent for painting. Several of her paintings displayed in their residence are all very skillful.

Jiang and Song's car.

Confucius Temple on the Qinhuai River. This is also a must-visit place for everyone who comes to Nanjing, so every time you come, it is crowded with people. It feels like this place is a bit like Shanghai's City God Temple, and it is also a noisy place full of fireworks.

There are shops selling salted ducks everywhere, and people queuing up to buy salted ducks everywhere. It seems that Nanjing people really love eating ducks. No wonder some people joked that no duck can get out of Nanjing alive.

Qinhuai River. Every time I come to the Qinhuai River and look at the river that has flowed for thousands of years, I can't help but think of the poem,"Smoke cages are cold, water and sand, and I park near Qinhuai restaurants at night. The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, but she still sings about the flowers in the back courtyard across the river."

Li Xiangjun's former residence. Li Xiangjun was once one of the eight famous prostitutes in Qinhuai. It is said that she has a mellow singing voice, but she does not sing easily with others; she is also familiar with silk, bamboo, pipa, rhythm and poetry, and is especially good at playing and singing "The Story of the Pipa". After Kong Shangren's "Peach Blossom Fan" was published in 1699, Li Xiangjun became famous around the world.

Wuyi Alley. "The name of the alley originated from the Wu Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, and was named after the Wu garrison wearing black uniforms and commonly known as the Wuyi Camp." At this time, I couldn't help but think of another poem,"Weeds and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, and the sunset at the entrance of Wuyi Alley. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang and Yan flew into the homes of ordinary people." It seems that the Qinhuai River is really a place full of poetry and the aroma of makeup.

This hotel located in the scenic area is packed every time you pass by.

Passing by this duck blood vermicelli soup restaurant, the landlady warmly invited us to try her house's sesame cakes. They were soft and delicious in the mouth and tasted really good. I bought a box of sweet and salty mixed ones. Because the shelf life of handmade products was only seven days, I didn't dare to buy more. Later, I wanted to eat them after eating them. Unfortunately, there was no shop after this village. I regret it!

Presidential Palace. Arriving at the Presidential Palace the next morning, although I purchased tickets online in advance, there was still a long line at the entrance.

1912 Cultural District. Coming out of the Presidential Palace is the 1912 Cultural District. I passed here last time when I went to the Presidential Palace, I didn't enter it. Leaving a little regret, I just wanted to take a stroll this time. Perhaps it was because of the day, there were not many people inside.

Nanjing food stalls. I happened to pass by a Nanjing food stall and had lunch here. It was still early when I left, but I had to get a number and wait for a waiting table. A few years ago, Tianhe City, Guangzhou also opened one, and it always felt that the taste was nothing more than this.

Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area. Nanjing Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area is located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. It is a national-level scenic spot at the foot of Zijin Mountain and the largest urban park in Jiangnan. It is known as the "Pearl of Jinling" and is also known as the "Three Famous Lakes in Jiangnan" together with Hangzhou West Lake and Jiaxing South Lake. (Excerpted from the Internet)

Xuanwu Lake Park is one of my favorite scenery. Every time I come to Nanjing, I will visit Xuanwu Lake. Xuanwu Lake Park is very large. Every time you come in from different directions and places, you can see different scenery.

The Xuanwu Gate of Nanjing's ancient city wall is located on the edge of Xuanwu Lake. Last time I came here, I bought a ticket and went there. I wanted to go up again this time, but there were too many people in line, so I had to give up.

Caishiji. On the way from Nanjing to Tongling, I passed Caishiji. "Caishiji, also known as Niuzhuji, is located at the foot of Cuiluo Mountain in the southwest of Maanshan City, Anhui Province. It is collectively known as the" Three Rocks of the Yangtze River "together with Chenglingji in Yueyang, Hunan, and Yanziji in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Caishiji is one of the three rocks with its steep mountains, beautiful scenery, and many historical relics, and has the reputation of" a show in the ages." It is said that Caishiji was also the place where Li Bai died. There are several versions of Li Bai's death. One of them is that Li Bai jumped into the river after being drunk and drowned here. This is consistent with Li Bai's identity as a romantic poet and has been recognized by many people.

This way of traveling along the plank road up the river is what we prefer.

My classmates heard that we were going to Caishiji and told us to try the local Caishiji dried beans. I bought a few bags and tried them out. My husband, who already liked tofu, thought it was good and bought another ten bags.

This place has left the youthful footprints of several of my classmates.

@ Tongling

Nanjing is the last stop of our trip to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and it's the return journey from here. The first stop back is Tongling City, Anhui Province. We had a good impression of this small city. It was clean and modern.

Tongling is close to Yuehao International Hotel. This hotel also made us very satisfied. It was not expensive, but the facilities were very good and classy. Since there is no room type with double breakfast on Ctrip, I directly called the hotel front desk and booked a twin room with double breakfast at 289 yuan/night. It can be said that the value for money is quite high. The hotel also has its own Chinese restaurant, which is convenient for lunch and dinner. I want to give the hotel a five-star review, but I can't comment because I didn't book it on Ctrip. I always feel a little sorry for this hotel ^_^

Datong Ancient Town. The impression is very ordinary. It has a flavor of life but is not very touristy. There are no commercial activities or tourists. It feels like a small place forgotten by outsiders, and it exists easily and contentedly without any desire.

The remains of the Catholic Church standing alone in the town.

Patio Lake. Walking along the quiet lake, there are towering trees and green eyes on both sides. After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Nanjing for several days, walking on such a quiet and quiet tree-lined avenue, I instantly felt a sense of tranquility. I always feel that if there is a lake with a beautiful environment in a city, the people in this city will be blessed!

@ She County

Xin 'an Hotel in She County. This hotel used to be a guest house of the She County government and was once stayed by many central leaders. It should be considered a good place in the county. The overall feeling is more like a B & B. The room is not big, but the public space is very large and decorated like countless beautiful scenery. Every evening, we would take snacks, tea and drinks and find a small table to sit down. It felt particularly good. It was the first time I took so many photos in a hotel (unfortunately the light was too dim and didn't work). The hotel called before we arrived to ask when we would arrive and whether we had a car, and reserved a parking space for us in the yard. After we arrived, someone came to help us carry our luggage and deliver it to our room. The hotel has only 19 rooms in total, each named after a local attraction. For example, the room we stayed in was called "Jinchuan Boat Stop". When I checked out, I also received a gift as a gift, which was a local specialty.

The hotel is only a few hundred meters away from the ancient city of Huizhou and only a few minutes 'walk away.

The ancient city of Huizhou. Also known as the ancient city of She County, Xin 'an County in ancient times, is one of the four well-preserved ancient cities in China. Wengcheng, city gates, ancient streets, ancient alleys, ancient towers, ancient dwellings, etc. are still preserved. The ancient city is not large, and the main street in the center is full of shops on both sides, which is already very commercial.

"Traveling in Chengkan, you will never have a hurdle in your life." Chengkan Ancient Village in She County is an ancient Huizhou village with the legendary culture of crossing the hurdle. It was once praised by Zhu Xi, a Neo-Confucian scholar in the Song Dynasty as "Chengkan Shuangxianli, the first village in Jiangnan." The ancient Longxi River is like a jade belt that runs through the village from north to south in an "S" shape, forming the dividing line between Yin and Yang of the Eight Trigrams. Eight mountains stand around the ancient village, which naturally form the eight directions of the Eight Trigrams. The mountains and rivers work together to form a natural Eight Trigrams map.

Huizhou merchants 'mansion. "There is the Qiao family compound in the north and the Huizhou merchant house in the south." "The Huishang Mansion is also known as the" West Garden ". It is the demolition and repair of 26 buildings scattered throughout the county that were on the verge of collapse in the late Ming, Qing and Republic of China. In accordance with the principle of" restoration ", the whole moved into the West Garden. There are more than 14000 ancient Huizhou "three carvings"(stone carvings, wood carvings, and brick carvings) in the mansion, many of which are scattered pieces collected and purchased from the private sector in the past 20 years." (Excerpted from the Internet)

This attraction is really useless. Tickets are expensive, there are no highlights, and there are no tourists.

@ Hongcun

All seasons hotel in Hongcun Scenic Area. This self-driving trip to Hongcun, considering that parking in the scenic area was impossible and it was troublesome to drag luggage into the scenic area, I chose this all-season hotel located outside the scenic area. The hotel is less than two kilometers away from Hongcun Scenic Area. The hotel has a sightseeing bus to pick up and drop guests from the scenic area, which runs every half an hour, and takes only two to three minutes. The driver of the sightseeing bus is a warm and talkative middle-aged uncle. As soon as the guests get on the bus, they will introduce various situations to the guests and tell the guests that his car serves everyone from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. You can call him when you return to the hotel from the scenic area, and he will adjust the driving time appropriately according to the number of people riding. He told us that he was very satisfied with his current job and met guests from all over the country every day. To be honest, such a person who is doing such an ordinary job with full enthusiasm is really touching and admirable. In addition to the breakfast buffet, the hotel also has a Chinese restaurant that serves lunch and dinner. We had a dinner there and the food was good and it was the most satisfying meal we had in days.

Xidi and Hongcun are both representative scenic spots in Hui-style villages, and the distance between them is not too far. Xidi is known as the "Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasties Residential Museum". The architectural tone is simple and elegant, reflecting the outstanding talents and achievements in building the living environment of ancient villages in southern Anhui; while Hongcun is known as the "village in Chinese painting" with beautiful scenery and high playability. People often ask which of these two places is more worth visiting, but we spent a day visiting both places and felt good. Each has its own characteristics. The only regret is that the weather is not good and their true beauty cannot be photographed.

Xidi.

Passing by here, I looked at the freshly squeezed orange juice by the store and bought a cup to drink. It was very fresh and the sweetness and sweetness were just right. I bought another cup when I returned.

This fat and cute "little boy" only likes his beautiful sister to rub it.

Hongcun.

I bought a bottle of sweet rice wine to drink. It's the taste I like.

@ Jingdezhen

Hampton hotel fuliang by hilton jingdezhen. This self-driving tour has visited more than ten cities along the way and has also stayed at seven or eight Hamptons by Hilton hotels. The reason why I like to choose Hampton Inn is because I have confidence in this brand. No matter where I go, it will be standardized and managed, and the quality will never be any worse. Moreover, after staying there for a long time, I am very familiar with his room layout, the hardness of beds and pillows, the breakfast meals, etc., and I feel relieved and comfortable every time I stay.

Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area. It is the only national 5A-level tourist attraction in the country with the theme of ceramic culture. The scenic spot gathers some ancient kilns, ancient workshops, and ancient buildings scattered in the urban area here, forming a cultural tourism attraction integrating cultural exhibitions, ceramic experience, entertainment and leisure. The park is very big and there are not many tourists. Bathing in the warm afternoon sun and walking on the tree-lined streets in the park really feels like a vacation.

In the handicraft workshop, masters are demonstrating various production techniques.

Master Yuan is seventy years old this year and has been an artist for 55 years. Now that he is over sixty years old, he is still working meticulously. It is really admirable.

The hair-thin lines on Niu 'er's body appear clear under the magnifying glass. I can't help but admire the master's skills!

@ Ji 'an

Grand Skylight Hotel Ji 'an. I stayed at the Grand Skylight Hotel a few years ago and had a good impression. This time, I drove through Ji 'an for one night and decided to choose this hotel when I saw it. Unexpectedly, this newly opened Grand Skylight Hotel far exceeded our expectations. As soon as we entered the room and took a look, we immediately decided to stay one more night. The hotel's lobby is very tall, with the style of a five-star hotel at a glance. The room and bathroom are also large with a bathtub. Because the hotel will be newly opened in 2022, the entire hotel is new and clean, and feels very comfortable. What makes us most happy is that the hotel has its own Chinese restaurant where guests can have lunch and dinner. On the first night, we went there because there was only buffet on weekends, so we suggested that we go to the teppanyaki on the 38th floor, where we could also order Chinese food. The little girl who received us was beautiful and cute, with a round face that was a little baby fat. She was very patient with us and introduced the dishes to us softly. We ordered two dishes, both of which were delicious and reasonably priced. We went there again the next night and were still very satisfied. The hotel is a bit far from the city, but it is not a problem for us self-driving people. In short, it was a very satisfying stay!

Ji 'an is the hometown of the national hero Wen Tianxiang and an important birthplace of Luling culture. Ji' an has "nine scholars in one family, top scholars in the father and son, top scholars in the lotus, two prime ministers across the river, three top scholars in the five miles, nine sons and ten governors, nine in ten miles, and two books in a hundred steps". It is a place full of book-like flavor and is known as the "Hometown of China's Top Scholars".

Ji 'an Luling Cultural Ecological Park. The environment is quiet and quiet. Since there are not too many people on weekends, it is a good place to take a walk and relax.

Tianxiang Scenic Area. There is not much content in this scenic spot, so you can go out after walking around.

Ji 'an City Museum. It was a Saturday when I went there, but the museum was closed. I called and learned that the museum gate was under repair, so I suggested coming back tomorrow. Several middle-aged female teachers who were also rejected suggested that we go to Bailuzhou Academy to have a look.

Bailuzhou Academy. It was founded by Jiang Wanli, Zhijun of Jizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, in the first year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1241). When the academy was established on Bailuzhou, it was called "Bailuzhou Academy" after the name of the continent. Bailuzhou Academy is as famous as Bailudong Academy in Lushan Mountain, Ehu Academy in Qianshan, and Yuzhang Academy in Nanchang. They are collectively known as the Four Great Academies in Ancient Jiangxi. The name of Bailu Island originates from the famous sentence in the poem of Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty,"The three mountains are halfway set outside the blue sky, and the two waters are divided into Bailu Island."

Only after passing through this Academy Bridge can you enter Bailu Island.

When I passed through this "Lingxingmen" archway, there were two twin dolls sitting under the archway. My mother said that they were in trouble, so they refused to sit together ^_^

There was actually a "Fengyue Tower" in the academy, and I didn't spend the time to study it.

@ Longnan

Grand Skylight International Hotel, Longnan. Because we were very satisfied with the Grand Skylight Hotel we stayed at at our last stop in Ji 'an, we decided to choose this hotel when we found that Longnan also had this hotel. This hotel is not as big as the one in Ji 'an, and the rooms are a little smaller, but the price is nearly 200 yuan cheaper. It feels very cost-effective and comfortable. In the future, Grand Skylight will be one of our choices. It's just a pity that many cities don't have hotels with this brand.

Devotion Town. "Qianxin Town" is deeply located in Qianshan Mountain at the northern foot of Jiulian Shandong Province, the National Nature Reserve. It is based on Hakka culture, based on ecological agriculture such as organic tea, Gannan navel orange, Gannan tea oil, and local chickens, and combines rich landscape resources to create a pure ecological leisure and vacation experience base integrating natural scenery, pastoral scenery, and Hakka folk customs. (Excerpted from Ctrip. com)

This scenic spot is still under construction. There are not many tourists and it is not too playable.

There is a hotel at the entrance of the scenic spot with a strong sense of design. I went in and visited it and learned that the price was about 800 yuan a night.

Longnan is the last stop of our trip. Summarizing this self-driving tour in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the biggest emotion is the large number of people. I thought it was a off-season trip, but I felt like I was in the peak season. No wonder it was all caused by the saying,"Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March". Tourists from Wuyang, Wuyang, have turned a misty and rainy Jiangnan into a noisy place, and the weather was not very good along the way. It can be said that they have left some regrets.
