Without further ado, here's your guide! 👇 🚗Transportation Guide 1. External Transportation: ◦ High-speed Rail: From Hangzhou East Station, it's only 17 minutes, with a fare of around 15r, making it incredibly fast. From Shanghai Hongqiao, it's also just 1.5 hours, starting at 73r. 🚄 ◦ Plane: Fly to Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, then transfer to the high-speed rail, arriving in Huzhou in just one hour. 2. In-City Transportation: ◦ Bus: Search "Huzhou Bus Card" on Alipay and scan the QR code to ride. It's incredibly convenient. 🚌 ◦ Round-trip to Nanxun: Take bus No. 101 for only 5r, and the journey takes about 1.5 hours. If you're traveling with a group, a shared taxi is more economical, costing around 80-100r. Getting around the city: Attractions are concentrated, and shared electric scooters and walking distance are all available. 🚲 🏠Accommodation Recommendations 1. For a waterside stay: Choose a waterfront homestay in Nanxun Ancient Town. Fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the canal and wake up to the chirping of birds, immersing you in the peaceful life of a waterside family. 2. For convenient shopping and dining: The Grand Court or Atour Hotel near Yishang Street are great options. They are close to Huzhou Station and offer convenient access to various attractions. 📅3-Day Itinerary Day 1: Explore and eat in Huzhou Old Town • Morning: Head to Zhuangyuan Street and immerse yourself in the Zhao Mengfu Memorial Hall, experiencing the unique charm of Huzhou calligraphy. The Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings lining the streets are incredibly charming, and any photo opportunity is sure to be a hit! 📸 • Lunch: Start your foodie journey at Yishang Street. Don't miss the Ding Lianfang Thousand Zhang Bao (a steamed bun) with its fresh meat and bamboo shoot filling, so delicious it'll make your eyebrows drop. Also, order the wontons and chicken feet at Zhou Shengji. The chicken feet are perfectly stewed to tender and flavorful, and every bite is incredibly satisfying! 🍜 • Evening: Stroll to Fisherman's Wharf, stroll along Maoer Harbor, and enjoy the stunning night view of Moon Bay. The moment the lights come on, it's both romantic and relaxing. 🌃 Day 2: In-depth Tour of Nanxun Ancient Town • Morning: Purchase a combined ticket for 85r (valid for 3 days) and begin your in-depth exploration of the ancient town. First, visit Xiaolianzhuang to admire the unique scenery of Jiangnan's largest private garden, which is breathtaking in the autumn when the golden ginkgo trees bloom. Then, visit Zhang Shiming's Former Residence, a fusion of Chinese and Western architecture, perfect for photo ops. • Afternoon: Visit Zhang Jingjiang's Former Residence and learn about the legendary figure of the Republic of China. Afterward, take a leisurely stroll through the ancient town, find a teahouse, order a cup of tea, and savor the quiet time. • Hidden Gem: Rent an electric scooter before 7 a.m. to tour the town. This is when the crowds are minimal and the scenery is beautiful, allowing you to capture picturesque water lanes shrouded in morning mist, as if you've stepped into an ink painting. Day 3: A Triple Bliss of Zen, Film, and Night Views • Morning: Visit Tiefu Temple. The red walls and bamboo shadows of the Northern Song Dynasty temple are filled with atmosphere, creating a stunning photo opp. 🎋 • Afternoon: Visit Fahua Temple to pray for love—a must-see for singles! Then, head to Huzhou Film and Television City, dress in Republican-era attire, and wander through the streets of old Shanghai, feeling like you've traveled back in time. • Evening: Head to Taihu Ancient Town to watch the free water dance show. The interplay of lights and water is truly breathtaking! However, please note that the water dance show will be cancelled on rainy days, so be sure to check the Huzhou weather in advance. 🍱Food Recommendations 1. Ding Lianfang Qianzhang Bao: A time-honored signature, its filling of fresh pork and bamboo shoots is a delightful burst of flavor. 2. Zhou Shengji: The wontons and chicken feet are a must-try. The chicken feet are enticingly colorful, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and you'll want to lick your fingers. 3. Xiaoganzi Gantiao Noodles: The braised beef topping is a standout, and the noodles are chewy and incredibly fragrant. 4. Xun Pig's Trotter: A traditional Chinese braised pig's trotter, tender and boneless, paired with rice, it's a carb-lovers' paradise. 5. Taihu Renjia: The crab roe tofu is filled with real crab meat. Located near Yishang Street, the delicious flavor is unforgettable. 💡Tips to Avoid 1. The Nanxun combined ticket is valid for three days. You don't have to rush through all the attractions in one day; you can explore the ancient town more slowly and savor its charm. 2. Most city attractions are within walking distance, so there's no need to waste money on taxis. 3. The Taihu Ancient Town Water Dance Show will be cancelled on rainy days, so be sure to check the weather in advance. 4. The last bus back to Nanxun leaves around 8:00 PM, so be sure not to miss it. The small city of Huzhou is filled with poetry and warmth. Come here, slow down your pace, and experience this unique Jiangnan romance. 💕 #HuzhouTravel #HuzhouGuide #JiangnanWaterVillage #WhereToWeekend

It's a far cry from the crowded, internet-famous cities! ✅ 3-Day, 2-Night Huzhou Guide (A Perfect Dinner + Fun) Day 1: Nanxun Ancient Town (Experience Jiangnan Slow Living and Eat at Time-Hot Restaurants) • Must-Dos: ◦ Free Stroll around the Old Town! Go at 7 a.m. for a quiet, untouched experience, enjoying the bluestone streets all to yourself. Watch fishermen rowing their awning boats selling water chestnuts and take stunning photos of Jiangnan ink paintings. ◦ Focus on the "Zhang Shiming Former Residence" (admission 25 yuan). This old residence, a blend of Eastern and Western styles, features stunning wood and brick carvings, perfect for children. • Must-Tries: 1. Shuangqiao Noodle House: Dried Bamboo Shoots and Shredded Pork Noodles 15 NT$/bowl. The bamboo shoots are crispy and the noodles are chewy. Add a poached egg for 2 NT$. Locals eat this breakfast here. 2. Dinglianfang Thousand-Chapter Steamed Buns: Thousand-Chapter Steamed Buns and Vermicelli Soup 18 NT$/portion. The buns are thin and filling, and the vermicelli soaks up the broth, making them warm and comforting. 3. Lu's Braised Duck: Braised duck legs 25 NT$/each.

Day 3: Anji Bamboo Expo Park / Moganshan (Choose one to get close to nature) • Choose Anji Bamboo Expo Park (suitable for bringing children/those who prefer a quiet environment): ◦ Must-try "Anji Local Cuisine Restaurant": Braised Bamboo Shoots with Salted Pork 35 yuan/portion. The bamboo shoots are fresh and the meat is fragrant. It can be eaten with two bowls of rice. • Choose Moganshan (suitable for those who enjoy off-the-beaten-path scenery): ◦ Entrance fee 80 yuan (including sightseeing bus). Take the sightseeing bus to "Jianchi" to see the waterfall, stroll through the bamboo forest, and walk along the wooden plank road in "Luhuadang Park." The autumn reeds are just turning yellow, creating a wonderful atmosphere. ◦ Must-try "Goldfish Mama Restaurant": Braised Pork with Moganshan Bamboo Shoots 40 yuan/portion. The bamboo shoots are fragrant with meat and are soft and glutinous without being greasy. 💡 Huzhou Pitfall Avoidance & Practical Tips (All Based on Personal Experience) 1. Transportation: • Take the high-speed rail to Huzhou Station. Taxis in the city start at 8 yuan. Buses to Nanxun Ancient Town cost 15 yuan per person (1 hour), which is cheaper than a taxi. • Avoid the "black-sailed boats" (80 yuan per boat) in the ancient town. Strolling along the river is more relaxing and offers easy access to snacks. 2. Food: • Avoid the "influencer" restaurants on the main street of the ancient town! Turn into the side streets and find local stalls like Shuangqiao Noodle House and Grandma's Zongzi, which are both affordable and authentic. • Huzhou locals love "gan tiao mian" (dried noodles). Try it. Adding chili oil makes it even more delicious (warning in advance if you don't like spicy food). 3. Outfit: • Wear a light-colored skirt and a light jacket in spring and autumn for stunning photos in the ancient town. Bring sunscreen in summer, as the ultraviolet rays near Taihu Lake are strong. Wear a thick jacket in winter, as the winds in the ancient town are strong. 4. Souvenirs: • Buy "Zhu Lao Da Zongzi" and "Ding Lianfang Qian Zhang Baozi" (vacuum-packed). They're more practical than the "expensive cultural and creative items" in the scenic area, and even locals love them. 💰 Cost Guide (¥500+ per person, 3 days, 2 nights) • Transportation: High-speed rail round-trip ¥200 + city transportation ¥50 = ¥250 • Tickets: Nanxun Ancient Town free + Bamboo Expo Park ¥70 = ¥70 • Accommodation: B&B ¥180/night x 2 nights = ¥360 (¥180 per person) • Food: ¥60 per day (¥180 for 3 days) • Total: ¥250 + ¥70 + ¥180 + ¥180 = ¥680? Wrong! Book your high-speed rail tickets and B&B in advance and have a blast for just ¥500 per person! Hey kids! Huzhou truly is an "underrated Jiangnan treasure." It's free from the crowds of popular online cities, with its vibrant atmosphere and delicious food. Visit once and you'll fall in love! This guide is all hand-tested and practical, so save it and head to Huzhou next time. And when you come back, remember to tell me your favorite spots! #HuzhouTravel #NanxunAncientTown #HuzhouTravel #LifePhotos

(Don't ask me if "less crowds and more beautiful scenery" is just a myth. I can recommend this place until I retire!) Hey guys! Is there a kind of frustration like "spending a 3-hour high-speed train ride to a popular tourist destination, only to end up waiting in line for 2 hours to see the crowds?" 🙋♀️ As a veteran "anti-involutionary traveler," today I'm sharing a heartfelt story about a magical place with direct high-speed rail access, virtually no commercialization, and even locals secretly visiting it: Songyang in Lishui, Zhejiang! Take the high-speed train from Hangzhou/Shanghai for a 1.5-hour direct ride. The moment you exit the station, the air is filled with the scent of greenery mixed with the fragrance of tea, and even the wind is a beat slower than in the city. 🍃 🌿 Play: Spend a day relaxing in "Jiangnan's Last Secret Spot" 1. Yangjiatang Village: A "Golden Potala Palace" 100 times quieter than Hongcun Forget the crowds of Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang! This ancient village, tucked away in a valley, boasts layers of earthy-yellow rammed earth walls, stacked like building blocks on the hillside. When the sun shines on them, they look like they've been dusted with gold dust. ✨ The old camphor tree at the entrance is 500 years old. An elderly woman often sits beneath it, cracking melon seeds. She'll smile and offer you a roasted pumpkin seed (you're welcome, take it!). The village is short on shops, save for a few farmers selling dried bamboo shoots. Walking along the bluestone streets, you can hear the clatter of your own footsteps and the distant crowing of roosters. 🐔 👉 Photography Tip: Go before 9 AM or after 5 PM. The sun's slanting rays will catch the walls, making any photo look like an oil painting! 2. Songyin Creek Ancient Trail: Cycling in a "Breathing Green Tunnel" Rent a bicycle (20 yuan/day, the owner will give you a bottle of local herbal tea) and ride along Songyin Creek. The banks are lined with rice paddies and reed marshes. The wind blows, and the rice ears sway as if they're bowing to you. 🌾 On the way, you'll encounter an elderly woman selling "rice sieves" (a local snack shaped like a small reptile, don't worry! It's delicious). Sit on a rock by the stream and eat. The gurgling sound is more soothing than background music. When you get tired of riding, rest under a large banyan tree and watch the elderly men fishing, casting their rods for the entire afternoon. Who knows? This is the life you yearn for! 🎣 3. Pingtian Village: Enjoy a cup of "Cloud Coffee" in an old house. This village has converted an old granary into a bookstore and an old house into a cafe, yet it's completely uncommercial! Sitting on the terrace of the "Clouds on the Flats" B&B, with layers of terraced fields before me and a cold brew coffee made with local tea in hand☕ in hand, the distant mountain mist drifts like a veil, and I suddenly feel like I've stepped into a fantasy drama. The village also has a "Contract Museum" displaying land deeds and marriage certificates from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The old village chief tells you stories in Mandarin with a hint of dialect, which will make your eyes light up~📜 🍜 Eat: A local's secret "hometown menu" with a filling meal for 20 yuan per person. 1. Baixian Noodle House: Slurp on a bowl of "dancing handmade noodles" Songyang people start their mornings with a bowl of "sou mian" (sou mian)! The ultra-thin noodles dance like silver threads in boiling water. Then, they're topped with a dried bamboo shoot and pork sauce and sprinkled with chopped green onions. The freshness is so delicious you'll want to swallow it!🍜 The couple who own the noodle shop have been running it for 20 years, getting up before dawn every day to knead the dough. Their noodles are so springy you could skip rope! Be sure to order a "dengzhanpan" (a local snack, fried food shaped like a small lantern, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside). It's perfect with noodles! 2. Old Street Glutinous Rice: A Carb Bomb Hidden in an Alley On the corner of Songyang Old Street, there's a small stall without a sign. Every day, an elderly woman steams a large bucket of glutinous rice, tossing it with mushrooms, dried shrimp, and bamboo shoots, then tossing it with a spoonful of soul-stirring lard. The aroma is so fragrant it'll make you turn your head! 🍚 A large bowl costs 5 yuan, and the elderly woman will smile and ask, "Would you like it spicy?" Pair it with a cup of the local "Xiangong Snow Tea" for a refreshing and refreshing meal that's sure to satisfy your carb-cracking needs! 3. Farmhouse Restaurant: Make "wild vegetables" taste luxurious Don't order the fancy dishes! Just ask the owner, "Stir-fried freshly dug watercress, steamed local eggs, and braised pork with bamboo shoots." You can't go wrong! 🥢 The amaranth has a delicate fragrance of dew, the yolks of the local eggs are like little suns, the bamboo shoots were sun-dried last winter and are incredibly crunchy and fragrant, and the rice is all homegrown indica rice, with distinct grains – I could finish two bowls! 🏡 Where to Stay: Sleep in an old house and "be awakened by the birds" 1. Yunshang Pingtian B&B: Home by the terraced fields This renovated B&B, housed in a century-old house, retains its wooden beams and earthen walls, but boasts a large, soft bed and floor-to-ceiling windows. Lying in the bathtub at night, you can see the stars and distant fireflies outside. In the morning, awakened by the chirping of birds, and opening the curtains reveals the vast expanse of terraced fields – it's like waking up in a painting. 🌌 2. Old Street B&B: Become an "ancient town resident" for a day Spend a night in Songyang Old Street, where you'll open the window to bluestone pavement and old shops. The owner of the B&B will take you to the morning market to watch the old ladies bargaining with their vegetable baskets, and you can also learn how to make "Songyang Tanggao" (sweet and glutinous rice cake that fills the house with fragrance when steamed). Sitting in the courtyard at night, listening to the owner tell stories about the old street, time seems to slow down~🏮 📅 3-Day, 2-Night Guide (Lazy People Just Copy) - Day 1: Arrive by high-speed rail → Stay at an Old Street B&B → Visit Yangjiatang Village → Evening Stroll along Songyin Creek → Eat at Baixian Noodle House - Day 2: Get up early and eat glutinous rice → Cycle along Songyin Creek → Eat farm-style food at Pingtian Village for lunch → Relax at Yunduan Coffee in the afternoon → Stay at Yunshang Pingtian - Day 3: Wake up to the birds → Watch the sunrise over the terraced fields → Learn to make sugar cakes → Buy some dried bamboo shoots and tea as souvenirs → Return (Don't overpack! Relaxing, basking in the sun, and chatting with locals are all good things to do here~) Finally, let's be honest: Songyang has no internet-famous check-in spots, no crowds, only a leisurely pace and the gentleness hidden in the fireworks. If you're looking for a place to "waste time," take the high-speed rail here. I guarantee you'll be dreaming of the scent of green grass when you return! 🌿 (I've got the guide for you!
