Cixi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Minghe Ancient Town, Hefei Scenic Race Gusu is located in Minghe Ancient Town of Cixi, which is little known. People who are accustomed to Wuzhen and Xitang are like weaving. You may not be able to adapt to the quietness here when you come to Minghe, but only when there are few people and no one is disturbing, you can truly feel the charm of the ancient town. Combining ancient towns, lakes and temples, you can raft on the lake and sit quietly in the tea house. The high walls and deep courtyards, the winding lanes, and the gracefulness of the Jiangnan water town, have the reputation of 'Heqi scenery Sai Su'. Entering the ancient town, it is not lonely, but not too much The main road pedestrians are two or three, whispered softly, but once they turn into the quiet alley, they immediately calm down. The narrow alleys are narrow and deep, looking up at the sky, and they always feel like they are trapped in the bottom of the lane. The top of the wall looks so far away, the rows of horse-headed walls are still delicate under the blue sky and white clouds, but the scenery at the bottom of the lane is a little less light and more life-like. The mottled walls record the bottom of history. There are occasional courtyard doors in the ancient town, stopping to gaze from the door, but see the flowers and plants in the courtyard, the silence and comfort of a hospital. through the street for nearly half an hour, a small river finally appears in front of you, the ancient town is iconic The water flow properties of the small bridge finally began to unfold. There are not many tourists on both sides of the river. The river is not far from a small bridge. The small bridge is made of stone bricks. The shape has the unique grace of the Jiangnan water town. The bridge is also engraved with 6 pairs. Little lion Standing on the side of the bar, looking far away, there are idlers in the backyard of the willow shed, the backyard of the old house, and there are also tourists waiting to watch. Walking on the bluestone street, watching the beautiful wall shadows on the surrounding mottled walls, The creek embraced the sun quietly; listening to the folks who passed by, the noisy talks in the market, the combination of all the sounds, the taste of the crane, the real fireworks.

Ningbo tourist attractions

Ningbo Minghe Ancient Town with route and food Minghe Ancient Town No.999, Yuhuang Road, Cixi City, Ningbo City Recommended self-driving, parking spaces are tight during the Spring Festival, you can park on the roadside (both free and charged) As a 4A-level tourist attraction, the ancient town is very commercialized, but the commercialization here seems to have a bit more of a lively atmosphere, like the market gathering in childhood, where every household comes out to do some small business. Especially on Zhong Street by the river, in addition to various shops transformed from old houses along the street, there are also many small stalls and vendors. Minghe Ancient Town has a lot of Ningbo's old-fashioned food: rice cakes with various fillings, bean sucre, pine flower dumplings, roasted vegetable rice cakes, shepherd's purse fried rice cakes, oil zanzi, wine chicken, sweet rice wine, oil turtle, etc. There are also many afternoon tea shops inside, recommended are the so-called ancestral coffee house and , both of which are uniquely decorated and suitable for card punching and photography.

An ancient town that has not yet been fully commercialized

Experience once a week! Life is dynamic regret rather than static perfection. Only by allowing various experiences to enter with an open attitude can we achieve complete growth. Because I have seen too many ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I didn't have too much expectation for Minghe Ancient Town, but after coming here, I found that it still has the atmosphere of life and has not been fully commercialized. The overall color tone of the ancient town is white walls and black tiles, but after a long time, the white walls are covered with moss, and many people carve words on the walls. From a distance, it feels dirty, but because of this, it has a more primitive taste. My son and I found a small restaurant along the river, it doesn't matter what we eat, this feel is absolutely in place!

Into the Fangjia River Head, here is also the largest village in the country's surname, a family center of cohesion, ancient houses, ancient trees, ancient creeks, ancient wells, ancient roads are the five ancient elements of Fangjiahetou Village, vertical The ordinary woman, who is born with a leisurely feeling~

You must visit Wulei Lecture Temple when you come to Cixi! The world is inherently tranquil; all disturbances are in the mind

"There is nothing troublesome in the world; all troubles are within the human heart." I recommend everyone to visit Zhejiang during the bayberry season, taste the Cixi bayberries, and explore the local favorite spots. The following two attractions are recommended by Cixi locals: The thousand-year-old Fangjiahetou Village has a pair of ancient camphor trees, companions for over five hundred years. There is a sweetgum tree at Wulei Mountain that was first planted in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Wulei Lecture Temple is a thousand-year-old ancient temple in eastern Zhejiang. What are we in front of trees that have lived for hundreds or thousands of years? Focus on enjoying the scenery. I took a few casual photos, but they can't capture one-thousandth of their beauty. I like these spots that are not too famous or trendy. They are not noisy but peaceful, especially Wulei Lecture Temple, because there are few people, it's free of any turbidity. Listening to the sound of the stream, birds, and chanting, smelling the fragrance of flowers, trees, and the temple, brings peace and joy to the heart.

In addition to the scenery, there are also many animals, making it suitable for family trips.

Zhejiang 5-day itinerary guide, stepping into the forest, stepping into the poetic landscape

I have crossed rivers and seas, passed through deserts and grasslands, but unintentionally, I forgot the forest. Perhaps, because it shattered itself, more than 9500 forest tourist spots are scattered in every corner of China, because they are too common, they are ignored. This time, in the name of forest tourism, stepping into Zhejiang, in the primitive nature of the forest wetland, watching the poetic dwelling of birds, comfortable life; in the mottled cobblestones of the ancient forest road, touching the vicissitudes of history, chanting the poems of a thousand years; in the cloud and mist fairyland of the forest park, listening to the legend of the 'Shennong tasting herbs', 'Sun Simiao living in seclusion'. Traveling in Zhejiang Zhejiang is convenient for transportation, many places can be directly reached by high-speed rail, but because this time the points are scattered in various places, for convenience, I still chose to drive. Itinerary D1⃣️Ningbo Hangzhou Bay Wetland Park ✅Hangzhou Bay Wetland Park (3h) In the afternoon, arrive at Hangzhou Bay Wetland Park, on the south bank of Hangzhou Bay, on the west side of the cross-sea bridge, a natural wetland of 63.8 square kilometers, it has vast tidal flats, and large areas of reed swamps and wasteland, it is a paradise for birds, and also the closest place for humans to nature. D2⃣️Xinchang Spotted Bamboo Ancient Village➡️Xiake Ancient Road➡️Tianmu Mountain ✅Spotted Bamboo Ancient Village (1h) The exploration of Xiake Ancient Road starts from the Spotted Bamboo Ancient Village where Xu Xiake once stayed. ✅Xiake Ancient Road (4h) This is an ancient road full of legends, excavated by Xie Gonglingyun, the founder of landscape poetry, welcomed the poet Taibai who came by singing, left the traveler Xu Xiake who studied the hydrological system of Tianmu Mountain, many literati who had feelings for mountains and rivers in history, all left their footprints here. ✅Tianmu Mountain (2h) On Tianmu Mountain, looking back from a high place, the prosperous Tang poetry. 'One Tianmu Mountain, half of the entire Tang poetry', the 'Complete Tang Poems' included more than 2000 poets, 450 of them, 20% of the poets, actually came here. D3⃣️Pujiang Maling Ancient Road➡️Qianwu Village Forest Home ✅Maling Ancient Road (3h) Stepping on the Maling Ancient Road, stepping into the time a thousand years ago. In time, there is pervasive gunpowder, endless merchants and market traders, a cup of tea and a cigarette at the post station. ✅Qianwu Village Forest Home (2h) When I arrived at Pujiang Qianwu, it was already dark, and I couldn't walk around in a comprehensive way, but I could still recognize the forest home in the night. The mountains are in the distance, the water is nearby, and in the village, there are homestays, coffee, and study rooms. Not high-end homestays that cost thousands of dollars a night, but real dwellings open to ordinary tourists. D5⃣️Quzhou Zimei Mountain National Forest Park Zimei Mountain National Forest Park, has the largest original Taxus chinensis forest in the country, rare strange peaks and canyons, many flying waterfalls and flowing springs.

Fantawild is a place that children of all sizes like

Years ago, I went to Fantawild in Ningbo in heavy snow. Fantawild has two parks, Fantawild Oriental Heritage and Fantawild Dreamland. This time I went to Fantawild Oriental Heritage. The park is very large, with both outdoor and indoor amusement facilities. You can check the performance time on the public account to arrange properly. On snowy days, the outdoor area is basically not open, so we played in the Rainbow Kingdom (which introduced the 56 ethnic groups to the children), Nuwa Mends the Heavens which the children played twice, Love of the Milky Way which is a performance that can be watched lying down, The Battle of Jinshan Temple with its impressive water flooding Jinshan, and Liyuan Travelogue which took us to appreciate the drama and quyi from all over the country. Of course, there is also the big screen of China's Vertical and Horizontal, which is really great. Although I didn't play any thrilling projects, I still feel it's very fun.
