🔹Attractions
1️⃣Chendang Ancient Town (Pictures 3-6)
The ancient town is very small and it takes about an hour to walk around and take photos. Fried pork liver is a must-order at Shengli Hotel. A table of 4 or 5 dishes costs more than 100 yuan, which is very cost-effective. (It is recommended to get a number as soon as you arrive. We went there during the National Day holiday, got a number at 9:00, and the first group of people ate at 10:20. There were no more numbers at 10:30. For reference) 📷The big characters "Chen Dang" in front of Xuanhu Hall are very eye-catching. 🍰The dim sum is delicious and good-looking. ☕️Next to it is Sunny Day Cafe
🅿️There are many parking lots, no tickets and no parking fees
2️⃣ Chendang Brewery (Picture 7-8)
Its predecessor was Taixing Soy Sauce Factory, which has a history of 137 years. Watch the rice wine brewing process, visit the natural soy sauce drying field, and eat a soy sauce ice cream🍦
🎫Free and no appointment required, just register and enter
3️⃣Shendang Barn (Figure 9)
It was renovated from an old granary in Chendang. It is a great place to drink coffee and read books. There is also a children's playground for children to relax.
🅿️No tickets, no parking fees
4️⃣ All-beef restaurant (Figure 10)
Locals will go there to eat. The beef is freshly cut. I ordered more than 1 jin of beef for just over 100 yuan. It can be called a delicious version of Z Court Y Court.
5️⃣China Nuclear Power Science and Technology Museum (Figure 11)
There are many interactive science installations, which close at 3:30, so you have to get up early to visit.
🎫Free and no appointment required
6️⃣Qiyuan (Figure 12)
One of the "Top Ten Famous Gardens in China", it is also the filming location of the 1987 version of Dream of Red Mansions. It takes about 1 hour to visit.
🎫Tickets: 35r/person for adults, free for children under 1.2m
7️⃣ Fengyi Scenic Area (Figure 13-14)
There are a sea of flowers in the village, a hundred acres of tea garden, an air-raid shelter halfway up the mountain, and a large viewing platform on the top of the mountain.
🅿️No tickets, no parking fees
8️⃣ Kaiyuan Senbo, Nanbei Lake (Pictures 15-17)
We stayed in the Mushroom House, which has its own slide. The indoor water park is not very big, but it is enough for a 3-year-old child to play. You can enter the park unlimited times before 12:00 the next day (enter the park at 12:00 and play until 18:00). There are also many children's activities, so you can easily enjoy a one-stop stroll with your kids.
9️⃣ Haiyan Windmill (Figure 18)
Encountering the sunset over the windmills on the sea, time seems to slow down

It's more than 80km from Suzhou and takes more than an hour to drive. There are quite a lot of places to visit, but unfortunately the sky is not good today, so some scenic spots will be left for next time. 1️⃣ Chendang Ancient Town ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The ancient town is not big, and there are not many shops. It's mainly to check in and take a walk. It takes about half an hour to finish the tour. 🅿️The parking lot is at the door, which is relatively large and free. 2️⃣ Shengli Hotel I heard the call when I entered the ancient town. I walked two steps across the bridge and it was there. The sign was very eye-catching. But I arrived late today, there were no numbers, so I didn't eat. 3️⃣ Sunny Day Cafe ⭐️⭐️ It's opposite the Shengli Hotel, just a few steps out, and there is a golden sign written by Yu Hua at the door. The store is not big, mainly various coffee drinks, and the price is similar to Suzhou. The taste is okay😐 4️⃣Xuanhutang Cafe⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Go back and don’t cross the bridge at the beginning. There is another stone bridge along the old street. After crossing the bridge, there is a wall with the big characters "Chendang" for checking in. The layout of the store is also very unique and the space is relatively large. 5️⃣Haiyan Chendang Brewing Co., Ltd.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not far from the ancient town, a brewery that has existed since the Guangxu period, there are many rice wine, soy sauce and soybean paste jars, which are neatly arranged in a large area and look very good. There is also an underground wine warehouse, and you can make an appointment to seal the wine, which feels quite ceremonial. You can enter by scanning the QR code at the door. There is a gift shop on the right side of the entrance, with many special gifts. 🅿️There is a small parking lot at the door. When I came out, I found that there was a large parking lot across the road, which is also free. 6️⃣Chendang Barn⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is also very close to the brewing company. There are several tall barns in the middle, but it seems that they are no longer used. There are mainly the Barn Bookstore and the Barn Cafe, which are opposite each other. There are many books in the bookstore, as well as many Jelly Cat dolls and other stationery and toys. The cafe is also very lively, with drinks and some light meals and snacks. 7️⃣ Fengyi Scenic Area ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Driving a country road for about 20km, there are tall fir trees on both sides of the road, which is quite interesting. The scenic area is not big, mainly a mountain, 108 meters. There is an air-raid shelter on the mountainside. It is quite interesting to come and see it if you haven't seen it. The distance is very long. There is still more than half the height from the top of the mountain after coming out of the air-raid shelter. If you don't go through the air-raid shelter, you can go directly up the mountain from the steps on the left side of the air-raid shelter. There is an observation deck built on the top of the mountain with an iron frame, which looks quite scary. You can overlook the surroundings from it, and the scenery is very good. 8️⃣ Haiyan Windmill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Drive along Binhu Avenue, there are also some parking spaces on the side of the road, you can stop and go to the embankment to see Hangzhou Bay. At the end of the road is a row of spectacular windmills. If the weather is good, it is nice to look at the sea, take a walk, feel the breeze, and take a photo with the windmills on the embankment. But it is really cold on rainy days.
The "See You on a Sunny Day" coffee shop on Chendang Old Street is not only a place to enjoy coffee, but also a cultural intersection. The display shelves in the museum are filled with classic works by Mr. Yu Hua, each of which exudes literary charm. There is also an inscription by Yu Hua on the wall: "See you on a sunny day." A fan exchange area was specially set up on the wall of the cafe, which is covered with photos and messages left by fans. Of course, Jay Chou elements are also a big highlight. Sitting by the window, looking at the gurgling river, holding a good book in your hand, sipping a sip of fragrant American coffee, time seems to become slow and quiet here. Here, you can temporarily forget the hustle and bustle and tension of life and let your soul truly relax and nourish. #Cafe #Play Outdoors #City Humanities Notes #Food Festival #Internet Celebrity Cafe
Because of Yu Hua's words "I want to swim until the sea turns blue", I came to his hometown - Haiyan. "A portion of fried pork liver, two taels of rice wine, warm the rice wine", I came to the Shengli Hotel written by Yu Hua, and strolled in Chendang Town, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, just like walking in Yu Hua's novel. Location: Benhu West Road, Chendang Town, Haiyan County, Jiaxing City Transportation: Self-driving navigation "Victory Hotel", take the high-speed rail from various places to Jiaxing South Station, transfer to bus K175, get off at Songpo East Road Station, scan the code for 2 yuan, 30 minutes Tickets: None Chendang Old Street is worth taking pictures and checking in Victory Hotel Xuanhutang Cafe Sunny Day Cafe Chendang Watch Shop
Without Yu Hua's works, I might not have discovered this treasured coastal town in Zhejiang. Because of Yu Hua's words "I want to swim until the sea turns blue", I came to his hometown - Haiyan. "A portion of fried pork liver, two taels of rice wine, warm the rice wine", I came to the Shengli Hotel described by Yu Hua, and strolled in Chendang Town, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, as if walking in Yu Hua's novel.
