Taihu Ancient Town | A newly popular ancient town just an hour's drive from Hangzhou
| A newly popular ancient town just an hour's drive from Hangzhou. First, let's clarify a concept, the current Taihu Ancient Town is not a real ancient town with ancient history; the real ancient town has long been submerged in Lake Taihu. What you can visit now is an imitation ancient architectural complex developed by Longzhimeng.
Despite being an imitation, it does not affect its status as one of the must-visit attractions in Huzhou.

Huzhou | Two-Day One-Night Travel Guide
Huzhou | Two-Day One-Night Travel Guide|||
Route
DAY1: Yishang Street - Xiaoxi Street - Fisherman's Wharf - Xingang Lighthouse - Taihu Ancient Town
DAY2: Nanxun Ancient Town
Yishang Street | It's super hard to park here, it's recommended to take a taxi.
Zhou Sheng Ji ❌ Zhou Sheng Ji's chicken feet are the sweet kind, and they're not soft and glutinous, plus the noodles and small wontons are quite average.
Fried Chicken Weng ✅ Delicious, crispy and the meat is tender.
Old Xu Tea Handmade Lemon Tea ✅ The milk tea and lemon are a wonderful combination, it gives a very refreshing feeling, I personally like it a lot, recommended.
Xiaoxi Street | It's very close to Yishang Street, you can walk there, but personally, I think the scenery is average. There's a recommended Guan Ye Dessert Shop that's supposed to be good, but I didn't find it, so I didn't get to try it - not particularly recommended.
Fisherman's Wharf | Not many people go there, it's easy to park 🅿️ There's a ground parking lot. The scenery is pretty good, too bad I didn't dare to go down.
Xingang Lighthouse | Navigate to the China Railway Tunnel Bureau, you can park below, the lighthouse is okay, quite photogenic.
Taihu Ancient Town | Recommended to go on Saturday! There's a fireworks show and a water dance show. It's suggested to drive there because it's super hard to get a taxi after it ends. Going there around six allows you to stroll inside.
Shaman Lake Beach ✅ The best view for watching fireworks. Their grilled fish is quite tasty and reasonably priced.
Nanxun Ancient Town | Navigate to the Li Bai Library Restaurant. There's a parking lot nearby where you can park for free. It was drizzling the day I went, the scenery was very nice, you can stroll around at will, or you can take a small boat at the dock, you have to share the boat with others, 1608 per person, on average 20 per person, but it's recommended to go in the afternoon to Guangzhou.
Zhuangyuan Lou ✅ Personally, I think the double-cross noodles are enough. I ordered the double-cross big rib noodles, only ate a few bites of the ribs, didn't finish them, but the exploded fish inside is super tasty! A thousand times better than Zhou Sheng Ji's noodles!
Jiangxin Fang Pastries ✅ If you like this kind of pastries, you can buy some, they're quite good, especially when hot.

Transportation Guide🚅
⭐You can take the high-speed train to Changxing Station, and then take a taxi for 20km.
⭐If you drive by yourself, you can enter from the entrance of the scenic spot. If you have contacted the homestay in the scenic spot, you can drive in after registering the license plate. It is more recommended to park at the entrance of the scenic spot and rent a yellow motorcycle, because there are many one-way narrow roads in the scenic area, and it is easy to block during peak hours.
Tips📖
⭐There are many by-products of ginkgo in the scenic area, such as white fruit, ginkgo leaf rose, and farmer's sun-dried powder skin.
⭐In addition to ginkgo, Changxing also has Meishan Town Yangfeng Village worth visiting, where there is the former site of the New Fourth Army Su Zhe Command. You can also camp at the nearby Sky Mirror Camp, feel the natural magic of the mine, and the aroma of barbecue under the stars.
⭐Stay in Changxing, go to Changxing Mi Jing Jun Lan Resort Hotel, with an unbeatable infinity pool, open mountain top view, and feel the tranquility of the valley in the early morning.
Avoid the crowds of people, see the mountains and see the trees to see the scenery
National Day to find out where to go? The whole family mobilized, brought parents, mother-in-law, the old small family to go out, must be less beautiful, within 2 hours of driving, you can not take the high-speed, avoid traffic jams and finally lock Changxing.
Going to Changxing low-cost all-inclusive farmhouse, definitely not my dish. Brushed a circle of hotels, the National Day went out several times, and finally I locked a B&B through the app of Tujia.com, during the National Day 580, it was a conscience price. After all, in the scenic area, after all, the landscape room. The room is a touch of Japanese wood color and the warmth. Dinner can be ordered at the farmhouse, very convenient.
B&B name is: Shanshui side, located on the main road of Changxing Shili Ginkgo Promenade, Ginkgo is not yellow, not to the best time, but also get some clean. In another month, it is estimated to be the best viewing period for the best ginkgo. A ginkgo landscape avenue can be driven far and wide, it is worthy of "Ten Miles"
when booking the B&B on the Tujia.com app, paying special attention to the location and the surrounding environment. Outside the balcony of my room, it is such a secluded green hill. The bamboo forest is swaying. There are different ways of travel. Some people like to travel through countless scenic spots. In such a long and idyllic environment, I still hide in the mountains, a pot of tea, surrounded by green hills, shaking on a lounge chair and not willing to get up. .
Autumn autumn rain, secluded green hills, there is a kind of empty mountain and rain. The father stood on the balcony and looked at the back. He felt that he was old and his hair was half white.
The summer vacation and the Spring Festival are often not at home. Many things at home are helped by parents. For the rest of my life, I will accompany the elderly. When are the children strong enough to hold their parents in the palm of their hands, and when the children are like them?
Enjoy the golden autumn leaves at Badu Peak
Drive along the shore of Taihu Lake, gradually entering the mountains surrounded by golden autumn colors of Chongxing Badu Peak. Amidst the golden ground, the white-walled and black-tiled village houses are scattered among the ten-mile golden ginkgo trees. The sparkling, clear as a mirror small river silently winds through the village.........
It is understood that the Chongxing Badu Peak scenic area is located in Xiaopu Badu Peak, Chongxing County. The golden ginkgo long corridor in late autumn is about 12.5 kilometers long and between 5 kilometers and 500 meters wide. There are 30,000 native wild ginkgo trees scattered in the corridor, with more than 2,700 old trees over a hundred years old.
When visiting Badu Peak, there are seasonal natural sceneries in all four seasons. It takes 1-2 days to stroll among the green mountains and waters, which is suitable for immersive wandering. The village has developed quite well in terms of tourism facilities in recent years, suitable for self-driving.

Wonderland Resort Changxing Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Changxing Fragrant Grassland Resort is just too much fun!
Changxing Fragrant Grassland Resort offers a plethora of recreational activities. For instance, the lawn next to the lobby is so inviting that children can't help but run onto it with joyful shouts, eager to frolic.
Around the lawn, there are many interestingly shaped frogs that children vie to take photos with, and the numerous non-powered amusement facilities are enough to let the kids let off steam.
Every Saturday evening, there is a unique bonfire party in the center of the lawn. Under the starry sky, sitting together for a concert, one can feel the myriad joys of the holiday.
If you're tired from playing, the coffee shop next door is a great place to rest. Order a coffee, sit by the window, and where else can you find such days? If I didn't bring the kids, I think I could sit there all day!
Following the path along the edge of the lawn, you will reach the tea garden. If you're afraid of getting tired, you can take an electric scooter for a spin, which is both cheerful and comfortable.
Next to the tea garden, there is also a bee garden that comes by chance, where children can learn about bees up close and participate in honey harvesting activities, which is both educational and fun.
As you go deeper into the tea garden, you'll find rows of wooden houses blending seamlessly with it, with the distant mountains undulating and faintly visible.
The high concentration of negative oxygen ions surrounding you makes the air so fresh that breathing is a pleasure.
Every morning between 9:00 and 9:30, you can pick up a free portion of pet feeding materials next to the lobby.
Taking the sightseeing car and slowly entering through the main gate, the ranch, horse farm, and go-kart track are all concentrated here. Feeding cattle, goats, black pigs, peacocks... is a temptation that children cannot resist.
My child was initially timid and dared not approach, but gradually got closer and closer until he succeeded in feeding, and was so excited that he danced with joy.
Walking further into the ranch, there is a large bamboo forest with free-range chickens, ducks, and geese.
Collecting eggs, herding ducks onto shelves, children not only have fun here, but parents can also find childhood memories.
Next to the ranch is a bamboo forest horse farm, where you can mount a horse and feel true relaxation with the rhythm of the horse's steps, and there are also ponies suitable for children to experience.
On the other side, go-karts race through the mountainous jungle, where friends of all ages can experience the joy of speed and passion.
Moreover, there are parent-child activities such as hand-painted DIY and fun fishing, allowing children to use their imagination and gain knowledge while having fun, and bringing families closer together.
Oh, by the way, next to the lobby, activities are updated in different time slots every day, so you might want to pay a little attention when you're playing.
During the National Day period, the hotel also arranges a variety of fun activities for the 8-day holiday, which are indeed diverse.
And that's not all, the hotel also has the popular Dongli Xia Farm. From the farm to the table, everything you eat is green and healthy organic ingredients, truly making eating, drinking, and playing clear and straightforward!
I've taken the kids to Huzhou three times, and we're absolutely committed to this family-friendly hotel

Hotel Stay | Changxing Fancied Grassland Resort Hotel
| Changxing Fancied Grassland Resort Hotel. Generally, I wouldn't choose a hotel that mainly caters to families, but I had the opportunity to stay here because of a company arrangement.
It's a three-hour drive from Shanghai, and the surrounding area is quite remote, with basically nothing around. This essentially means that the main activity area is within the hotel. Fortunately, the hotel is large and has many activities, so it's not boring. The lobby is very poorly designed, it's small and feels like a market when it's crowded, especially with children around, which gives a very bad first impression. However, the overall ecology of the hotel is good, with lush greenery, large lawns in public areas, and tea mountains as a feature. The hotel rooms are basically surrounded by mountains, and they are mostly single wooden houses, which are very private. When the weather is good, the view of the tea garden is really beautiful. It's a bit strenuous to walk around the hotel on your own. The restaurant, swimming pool, and gym are all in the main building, and the parking lot is a bit further out from the main building. So, if you're going from your room to the restaurant or other areas, you basically rely on the shuttle bus. You can also rent the hotel's electric mini motorbike to stroll around nearby. The overall road is quite narrow, with many uphill and downhill roads. The pool is 12-15 meters, with many children. The gym equipment is basic, and not many people use it.
1 The room type is a canopy villa, with the bedroom and living room connected, and the overall space is quite open. The kitchen has an induction cooker, range hood, and refrigerator, and the facilities are quite complete. The overall maintenance condition is acceptable, but it's obviously been a few years since it was last occupied. It was raining on the day, and I didn't use the balcony outside the room. If the weather is good, it's a pretty large activity space. The hotel caters to families, and the room is equipped with a toy rocking horse, a small stool for washing hands, and a folding clothes rack, which is quite thoughtful. There are no children's specific toiletries.
The hotel's meals can be said to have no highlights. The restaurant where you order meals is just like a farmhouse, I ate there once at noon and decided to go out and find private home cuisine for dinner. The next day, the buffet restaurant was crowded at eight-thirty, and there were very few types of meals. Anyway, I don't recommend the restaurant overall.
In Changxing, there is another beautiful resort where you can stay with your dog
For pet owners, the biggest problem when traveling with a dog is how to find a hotel that allows dogs. The Kaiyuan Fancosidi series is particularly dog-friendly. I stayed at the Changxing Fancosidi Resort for a while. Since I booked a detached villa, the cleaning fee was waived. The room is located in the bamboo forest, with a large terrace outside for the family to drink tea and play cards. The Fancosidi Resort is large, surrounded by mountains, and the resort has tea gardens, large lawns, farms, and bamboo forests, which are very suitable for walking dogs. It takes at least 1 hour to go around. The puppy is happy and joyful, and the pet owner is also happy and joyful. A very good hotel where you can stay with your dog, it's great!
