We entered through the north gate, but climbed the wrong one and missed the waterfall. We had to go back and climb it all over again &ndash; it was truly exhilarating! We missed the boat tour due to time constraints, which was a bit of a shame.

I can&#39;t remember whether it was the third or fourth time I went to Wuxie, but I finally understood the &quot;Wuxie&quot; [snickering] Zhuji Wuxie is a place full of natural beauty and activities, where you can relax and enjoy the beauty and mystery of nature. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are five different waterfalls, each with its own uniqueness. The most eye-catching one is the &quot;Lion Galloping&quot; waterfall, which is like a lion galloping down from the top of the mountain, and the momentum is very spectacular. In addition, there are waterfalls such as &quot;Longmen Waterfall&quot;, &quot;Double Rainbow Arch Bridge&quot;, &quot;Cuiping Mountain Waterfall&quot; and &quot;Taishan Wall&quot;, each of which has its own characteristics, showing the wonderful charm of nature.

I have been seeing Wuxie Scenic Area. Today I finally went all the way. My personal experience is attached. I entered from the south gate. The ticket check was at 8:55 and the boat was reminded to leave at 9 o&#39;clock. A family of three ran and climbed 200 steps until the last minute of the boat departure. It is better to arrive early than to arrive early. After getting on the boat, I had some breakfast and bought some water at the store. It was a bit expensive. I walked to the battery station for 5 yuan one way, which can save 2 kilometers. It is recommended to go to the gate of Wuxie Zen Temple (we did not enter) and see Wuxie all the way forward. Then I went forward from the left to see the scenery of 4.3.2.1 (all steps are tiring). Maybe the rainfall has been small recently. The waterfall is small. It is like going down stairs and flat land all the way up from Ziwei Ridge to Xiyuan Grand Canyon. It is very labor-saving. The scenery on the road is also good. After passing a green lake, it is beautiful. Return to the battery car and continue to take the car back. Remind that you may have to go back if you enter from the north gate. It is best to enter from the south gate. There is a departure schedule for the cruise ship. One ship is sent every 45 minutes and arrives on the other side in 10 minutes. If you don&#39;t want to wait, you can go directly to the yacht, which is basically 20 per person or 60 for a single trip, and it takes 3 minutes to reach the other side. Our family of three walked and stopped for 5 hours. The mineral water on the mountain is 5 yuan, the drinks are 10 yuan a bottle, and the cold drinks are 15 yuan a bottle. If you are not afraid of being tired, you can bring your own. I hope my personal route is helpful to you.

Xishi's hometown is based on the theme of "Xishi culture", which blends nature and humanistic landscape. There is a thousand-year-old Xishi Palace, which displays folk architectural art; Fan Yu adopts the Qing Dynasty style, showing simplicity and elegance. Walking on the banks of the Lisha River, you can not only enjoy the Lisha stone of Wang Qian's inscription, but also participate in the Lijiang night tour, watch the immersive stage drama "Dream Searching Xishi", and feel the ancient style.

I wanted to go on a night boat tour, but was told that all boats were fully booked that day. So I booked this tour instead.
The lighting effect is good, and the music is beautiful, but I can&#39;t remember which original song it was.
The story is also very complete.
But I went too late, and the pillars in front of the seat were completely blocked, which was a pity.

I traveled to Zhuji with friends. I booked the Encounter Xishi Huansha River Night Cruise 2 weeks in advance and it was really worth it. The one-hour singing and dancing performance and the lights and water curtain were beautiful. I didn&#39;t buy the VIP ticket, but the ordinary ticket was also very good. I recommend it.

Zhuluo Village in Zhuji City, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province is the birthplace of Xi Shi, one of the four great beauties in ancient China. Xi Shi&#39;s hometown is an important place to understand Xi Shi&#39;s history and culture, and it is also a must-visit landmark when visiting Zhuji.

The third stop: Datang Socks Town

Thousands of sock-making companies gather here, carrying 1/3 of the world&#39;s and 70% of the country&#39;s sock production. You can go there on the way, but don&#39;t go too early because the shops open late.

Small town food: I strongly recommend this Shaomai. There is no store name, but it can be located in Evergrande Cake House, which is right next to it. It costs one yuan per piece and has been open for at least 25 years. It is super delicious and can be packed and steamed at home.

The fourth stop: Si&#39;s House

The village is free, and you need to buy a joint ticket of 35 to enter the Thousand Pillar House, etc.

It is truly a &quot;museum without city walls&quot;

The largest and well-preserved ancient residential complex in the Qing Dynasty in central Zhejiang, mainly represented by the Thousand Pillar House, Faxiangju, and Huaguogong Villa, is very worth seeing.

The whole village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can see the clan life scenes of the wealthy merchants in ancient times here, and these houses are now all inhabited! Living fossils of history!

I bought several strings of beads at Lerong. The price is relatively reasonable!

Some prices: 30 yuan for a pair of steamed bead earrings

Bead strings: 400-600 yuan for a string that is close to a perfect circle

Buy beads on the first floor, and process and select accessories on the second floor
