April 29 to May 1, 2013. The attractions during the May Day holiday are crowded, but for our family, it is still a travel opportunity that cannot be given up. Of course, we also ran into traffic jams. After leaving Shanghai on April 29, the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway and Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway from the urban area to Jiangsu were congested, and they had to detour the Shanghai Ring Expressway and then take the Yanjiang Expressway. Returning on May 1, it took more than 2 hours to cross the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel and Bridge. Viewed from afar, the Yangtze River Bridge is like a parking lot. As I traveled with my parents-in-law, on the first day of the trip, I visited Changzhou, which I visited in January this year. Accommodation fees in Yangzhou generally increased during the festival, and Jinjiang Inn stores were full. Arrangements were made to live in Yizheng, more than 30 kilometers away from Yangzhou. The room prices were the same as usual. Considering the convenience of returning, I visited Nantong, which is relatively close to Shanghai, on the last day. I have visited these three cities before, so I did not arrange any scenic spots such as Slender West Lake, Geyuan, and Langshan on this trip. Among them, He Garden is my fourth visit. This trip mainly visited some national key cultural relics protection units. Six national protection monuments were photographed and five of them were visited. The harvest was quite good. Finally, I stopped by for a delicious seafood meal at Lvsigang, Qidong, and purchased seafood for home. The picture below shows Nantong Museum, and the river is Hao River. The total journey is 810 kilometers, and I don't feel that driving is very tiring.
