D1 (2020-12-14) Baoding--Ningbo

The private car arrived at Zhengding Airport at 9:30 a.m., the plane flew to Ningbo at 12:35, and arrived at Ningbo City at 3:00. It was cloudy and the temperature was similar to that in the north. It started to snow at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening. After a quick stroll around the Drum Tower and the Old Bund, there are many snacks near the Drum Tower. I love pasta, and I have to find a noodle shop first wherever I go. I ate a bowl of "cattle eating grass" beef noodles with cattle all over the streets and alleys of Ningbo. The taste is average. Maybe this is the taste of Ningbo, with only one salty taste. Ningbo glutinous rice balls, apart from being expensive, feel no different from quick-frozen glutinous rice balls bought in supermarkets. Youzanzi has two flavors, sweet and salty, similar to northern sesame flowers.

D2(2020-12-15) Ningbo-Zhoushan

Putuo Mountain is known as the "Haitian Buddhist Kingdom" and "Nanhai Holy Land". It is known as the cleanest place in the world. I heard from my colleagues that the scenery is good. I have never worshiped Buddha, but probably because I am old, I want to simply burn incense, worship Buddha, and calm down my heart. In fact, everyone is a Guanyin, and there are Guanyin everywhere. As long as you have a good heart, Bodhisattva is around you; all beings have their rationality, face everything calmly and do not insist.

Travel preparation: The etiquette of worshiping Buddha requires doing homework online. There are also some details to pay attention to, such as not stepping on the threshold. Men cross their left foot, women cross their right foot, light incense with their left hand, and pray with three incense sticks. Incense can be purchased anywhere in the scenic area, including in temples. One box is enough, but be careful to have a box for each person and not mix it with others. Bring some change with you. You need to buy fragrant flower rolls when you enter each temple.

It takes 2 hours to depart from Ningbo South Bus Station at 6:30 to arrive at Zhujiajian Wharf in Zhoushan. Along the way, you can experience the grandeur of cars driving on the sea and the beauty of Zhoushan Islands. Get off the bus and you will find the Putuo Mountain Visitor Center at Zhujiajian Wharf. You will order tickets and round-trip ferry tickets on the official website. Then line up to get on the boat for ten minutes to reach Putuoshan Pier. Remember, if you don't live in Putuo Mountain at night, the last ferry back to Zhujiajian Wharf is at 10 p.m. Compared with Putuo Mountain, B & B accommodation at Zhujiajian Wharf is more cost-effective. You can eat Zhoushan seafood specialties, or live in Shenjiamen and Putuo District of Zhoushan City.

After visiting Putuo Mountain, it is best to arrange for two days. One day is quite tight, especially for a one-day group tour. You must register carefully. They will not even take passengers to visit the three major monasteries. They can also arrive at Zhujiajian in advance the day before. Check in and go to the island early the next day. Must-see attractions in the first echelon of Putuo Mountain: Zizhu Forest, Nanhai Guanyin Bronze Statue, three major temples, other attractions can be arranged according to your own time. We went to the island at 10:30 a.m. and left the island at 6:30 p.m.., from Zizhu Forest-Nanhai Guanyin Bronze Statue-Puji Temple-Fayu Temple-Huiji Temple, in order to express our piety, we did not take small transportation in the scenic area. We measured Putuo Mountain in 38000 steps, which also cost us the loss of Fanyin Cave, Guanyin Cave, Luojia Mountain and other scenic spots.

There are ferries to Putuo Mountain from Zhujiajian and Shenjiamen

Refusing to go to Guanyin Yuan

"Reclining Buddha on the Sea" Mount Loga

Nanhai Guanyin Buddha, a landmark building in Putuo Mountain, is one of the three major Guanyin Buddha statues in my country. I was afraid of taboos, so I did not take photos.

The free life pond in front of Puji Temple, and the Duo Pagoda in the distance in the photo, is the only oldest Yuan Dynasty building in Putuo Mountain that retains its original appearance

The exterior of Puji Temple, also known as the "Front Temple", is the largest. It is the main temple in Putuo Mountain where Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined. It is also the largest temple in Putuo Mountain. All major Buddhist and Shun activities are held here and it is also the most popular. It is a must-visit for tourists. The main entrance of Puji Temple is closed. It is only opened when the head of state, temple Bodhisattva opens, or the abbot enters the temple for the first time. People usually enter and exit from the east gate.

Fayu Temple, also known as the "Hou Temple", is the second largest temple in the whole mountain

Huiji Temple is located on Foding Mountain, the highest point of Putuo Mountain, commonly known as Foding Mountain Temple. Fayu Temple to Huiji Temple requires Xiangyun Road. The entire journey has 1088 floors of stone steps. It takes about 40 minutes to walk. This mountain road is also known as the "Pilgrimage Road" of Mount Putuo. No matter whether it is windy or rainy, you can see devout worshippers kneeling every three steps, bowing every five steps, and bowing every seven steps. There is a viewing platform next to Huiji Temple, which allows you to overlook the Zhoushan Islands.

D3(2020-12-16) Zhoushan--Shaoxing

Returning to Zhujiajian from Putuo Mountain the night before, I stayed in a three-story villa built by fishermen nearby. The price was favorable and the environment was quiet. There was a breakfast shop and a seafood stall next to it, which was also very convenient. After breakfast, I took a bus to Zhoushan Bus Station and decided to go to Shaoxing to visit Lu Xun's former residence before going to Hangzhou.

Arriving in Shaoxing at 11:30 noon, I may have been in a hurry and didn't feel that it is a famous historical and cultural tourist city with the characteristics of a Jiangnan water town. Public buses, roads, houses, and various road repairs and detours may change greatly in five years. However, Lu Xun's former residence is indeed worth a visit. It is located in the urban area, with convenient transportation and free admission all year round. It is also surrounded by Shenyuan, Zhou Enlai's ancestral home, Wang Xizhi's former residence, etc. After visiting Lu Xun's former residence for three hours, we took a taxi to the ancient town of Anchang outside the city. Unfortunately, when we arrived at our destination, the sky was already dark, the temperature was very low, and the ancient town was deserted and deserted, leaving only a few of us tourists. I was really bored and decided to rush to Hangzhou overnight, just as the high-speed rail station was not far from the ancient town. Check into Home Inn by the West Lake at 10 p.m.

Warm up a bowl of mellow rice wine, have a plate of delicious fragrant beans, and experience Kong Yiji back then

The seemingly ordinary Baicao Garden is picturesque in Lu Xun's works, with green vegetable beds, smooth stone well railings, and tall locust trees...

D4(2020-12-17) Hangzhou-Tangkou Town, Huangshan

Hangzhou West Lake was here five years ago. This time, I want to make up for the regret that I couldn't walk around the lake last time. Get up at six o'clock in the morning, eat breakfast, spend four hours alone, travel 13 kilometers, 20,000 steps, and swim the entire West Lake completely. The feeling is as wonderful as the West Lake. There are few tourists, most of whom are locals doing morning exercises. At noon, I met with friends and found an unknown small restaurant to eat West Lake vinegar fish and Dongpo pork.

Although the restaurant is not famous, its dishes are absolutely authentic. I was worried that the fishy smell of carp would be too strong, so I specially ordered the perch, which tasted delicious.

At 14:40 p.m., we took the high-speed train to Huangshan City and arrived at Huangshan City at 16:10. It takes an hour's drive from Huangshan City to Tangkou Town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. The enthusiastic owner of Tangkou Town B & B introduced a chartered car at a fare of 30 per person to take us from Huangshan High-speed Railway Station to the Nuojia B & B booked online in Tangkou Town. It was very convenient. I must focus on this B & B. It is the most welcoming, warm, comfortable and cost-effective B & B I have ever stayed in. The boss and his wife are young people born in the 1990s with two children. They are very enthusiastic and attentive.

There is a river in front of the B & B building, and the mountain peak in the distance is Huangshan Lotus Peak, like a blooming lotus flower. There are various restaurants and supermarkets around, which is very convenient.

D5 (2020-12-18) Huangshan

Huangshan has three gates. 90% of tourists choose Nandaemun (Tangkou) to go up the mountain, the front mountain and the back mountain, or the back mountain to go up the front mountain and down the front mountain. In order to save time, try to choose a cableway once. We got up at six o'clock and had breakfast. The owner of the B & B drove us to the tourist transfer center and took the scenic spot special bus to the Yungu Temple cableway. We planned to get on the Yungu Temple cableway, walk off to Ciguang Pavilion, and then take the scenic spot special bus back to Tangkou Town. Tangkou Town is still drizzling. When the bus approaches Huangshan, it will see thin white snow. Going up the cableway to Baie Ridge, it is a completely different world covered in snow and ice. The black and white ink landscape paintings of Huangshan, strange pines, strange rocks, rime, and clouds of clouds are beautiful. From the highest peak, Guangmingding, to Welcome Pine, to Ciguang Pavilion, there were icy steps all the way, and we spent nearly five hours carefully. (Reminder that you must wear spikes on snowy days, otherwise it will be very dangerous)

Ticket prices for Huangshan Scenic Area: 230 yuan in peak season and 150 yuan in off-season. Off-season and peak season time: The off-season time is from December 1 of the current year to February 28 of the following year; the peak season time is from March 1 to November 30. There are 3 cableways in Huangshan: Yuping Cableway (Qianshan) is 90 yuan, Yungu Cableway (Houshan) is 80 yuan, and Beidaemun Taiping Cableway is 80 yuan. The price is one-way for adults. Transfer center-to the cableway entrance, you need to transfer to the scenic spot bus, 19 yuan/one way.

Huangshan has a total of 72 peaks, of which Tiandu Peak, Lianhua Peak and Guangmingding are above 1800 meters above sea level. Main scenic spots in Huangshan: Yungu Scenic Area, Beihai Scenic Area, Xihai Scenic Area, Yuping Scenic Area, Dream Scenic Area, etc. It is said that Huangshan Mountain is "dangerous in front of it, but beautiful in back mountains." I personally prefer the back mountains, welcoming pine trees, lotus peak, a line of sky, and a hundred steps ladder... More fun to climb. (Everyone must save the following scenic spot route map, marked with distance and time, which will be of great help to your route planning and time arrangement)

D6 (2020-12-19) Huangshan--Home

When I woke up in the morning, the weather turned fine. The locals said that there would be clouds of clouds on Huangshan today. I immediately became interested, changed my ticket, and decided to abandon my colleagues who insisted on going home and climb Huangshan alone. This time, we walked down the mountain from the front and down the cableway from the back. Because I had to catch the train at 5 p.m., it took two hours to reach Yingkesong from Ciguang Pavilion without stopping, and arrived at Guangmingding on time at twelve o'clock. During this trip, I was very grateful that I had the courage to climb Huangshan twice, used two different climbing methods, and saw Huangshan with two completely different weather conditions. The quiet and solemn beauty of Huangshan in the snow is beautiful in ink, and the natural beauty of Huangshan in the clear sky is lively and comely. Arrive at the transfer center at 3 o'clock, and the bus from the transfer center to Huangshan High-speed Railway Station runs every 40 minutes, which is very convenient. Arrive in Wuhan at 10 p.m. and transfer to a sleeper for the night train home. This trip ends here.
