Zhejiang is located on the coast of the East China Sea, with a long history, beautiful scenery and rich culture; There are abundant water resources and long coastline, beautiful and rich Jiangnan Water Town, and profound historical and cultural connotation. It is a good place for tourism because of its beautiful scenery and attractive scenery.

Starting from Shantou City of Guangdong Province on October 7, the 16 day self driving tour of Nanxi River, Yandang Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Xikou of Fenghua, Ningbo City, Zhoushan, Putuo Mountain, Hemudu of Yuyao River, Wuzhen, Qiantang River of Haining, Shaoxing ancient city and other places started, with a total journey of 3260 km. Although the journey is not long, many beautiful sceneries in Zhejiang have been seen all the way, leaving an unforgettable and beautiful impression.

Although this year's Mid Autumn Festival, National Day holiday, the national highway line "red", there are many places also appeared big traffic jams. Fortunately, we set out on the 7th and took the G15 Shenhai Expressway and other expressways. After stopping at Ningde in Fujian, we arrived at Nanxi River in Yongjia County of Wenzhou at noon on the 8th.

Nanxi River is located in Yongjia County, only 20 kilometers away from Wenzhou City. It is a national key scenic spot and World Geopark. Nanxijiang scenic spot integrates natural scenery and cultural landscape. It is famous for its beautiful water, strange rocks, many waterfalls, beautiful forests and ancient villages. It is famous for its beautiful landscape and idyllic scenery.

Here, we spent a little more than a day and a half visiting Yantou Town, Xiaogang rafting wharf, Yongjia academy, Lishui ancient street, Longwantan National Forest Park, shizhiyan, lingshangrenjia, shiziyan, yaxiaku, taogongdong, Cangpo ancient village, Furong ancient village, guolutan and other scenic spots. The sky is high, the clouds are light and the autumn wind is cool. I feel pretty good overall. It's just that because there is less rain this year, many rivers do not have much water, or they are cut off directly, which has more or less affected the landscape. It's a pity.

Tips

1. Nanxijiang scenic area has a large area and scattered scenic spots, so self driving tour is the first choice. Good road condition and convenient parking.

2. Each scenic spot sells tickets separately, ranging from a few yuan to dozens of yuan, and some do not accept tickets.

3. Good weather is the key to such a natural landscape. If there is a rainy day, most of the scenic spots will not be very attractive.

At noon on October 10, he went to Yandang Mountain in Yueqing County, Wenzhou City. Yandang Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in China in history. Now it is a national key scenic spot. It is famous for its peak, cave, stone and spring. It has always been known as "famous mountain on the sea".

We also arranged a day and a half to visit dalongqiu, Fangdong, Lingfeng and Lingyan. Generally speaking, the scenery is quite good, but it is far from being well publicized. It's just famous.

Tips

1. Although the scenic spots are scattered, the transportation is convenient. If you buy a ticket, the bus will take you to each scenic spot. In addition, due to the epidemic situation this year, self driving cars can drive to various scenic spots by themselves, and the parking lots are all free of charge, which is convenient and saves the cost of buying scenic spots' Transportation Cars.

2. It's also because there is less rain this year and it's the dry season. It's famous for the small flow of water in dalongqiu, but it's completely dry in xiaolongqiu.

3. There are a lot of B & B here, with different grades to choose from. We live in the B & B near the gate of dalongqiu scenic spot, which is very convenient.

On October 12, I visited Tiantai Mountain in Tiantai County of Taizhou City for half a day. It is said that there are no less than ten places called "Tiantai Mountain" in China, but the most famous one is located in Tiantai County, which is also a national key scenic spot.

On the way to Tiantai Mountain, I took a look at the lotus terraces in Nanping. It's so ordinary. It is said that it was OK in the past, but in recent years, because of various reasons, no one is willing to cultivate a lot of land. Terraces are not cultivated, and there is no landscape to speak of.

Tiantai Mountain National scenic spots include Qiongtai fairy Valley, great waterfall, Guoqing temple and other scenic spots, of which the great waterfall is still under construction. As time is in a hurry, I just walk around. Jigong's former residence is in the county, which is not bad.

On October 13, I went to Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo City. I mainly visited Xuedou mountain scenic spot and Jiang's hometown. Although Xikou Xuedou mountain is a national scenic spot, Xuedou mountain is mainly a place for people to worship Buddha, and the landscape is just ordinary; But Chiang's hometown is full of tourists because of its celebrity effect. It took more than half a day to make a quick tour of these two scenic spots. I don't think it's good or bad. Let's have a look at the history of the Republic of China.

On October 14, he came to Zhujiajian in Zhoushan from Xikou via Ningbo. Ningbo is a beautiful port city, a famous historical and cultural city, and a famous tourist city. Originally there was a plan to stay for one or two nights, but later due to the change of schedule, it was changed to passing by. Focus on the two most famous places here, Tianyige Museum and the old Bund.

Tianyi Pavilion is located at the lakeside of Yuehu Park in Ningbo City. It is a very old private library in China. After the expansion and reconstruction of the past dynasties, it has become a Jiangnan garden with rockery, ponds, pavilions and other scenery. Together with Yuehu Lake, it forms Tianyi Pavilion Yuehu scenic spot.

The old Bund is located in the center of Ningbo, which is 20 years earlier than the Bund in Shanghai. Nowadays, a large number of beautiful old European buildings are still preserved in the old Bund, which is one of the landmarks of Ningbo.

These two scenic spots have their own characteristics and are worth visiting.

Tips

1. Tianyige museum needs to buy tickets, while Yuehu is a public leisure place, so it doesn't need tickets, nor does laowaitan.

2. If the time arrangement is OK, the old Bund should go for a walk during the day and at night. The scenery, taste and feeling will be different.

3. In recent years, several large-scale cross sea bridges have been built from Ningbo to Zhoushan, and it is much more convenient to go to Putuo Mountain. This is also an epitome of the rapid development of modernization, especially road and bridge construction.

On October 15, we specially arranged to visit Mount Putuo for a whole day and stay at Mount Putuo for a night, so that we can have more time to visit.

Putuo Mountain is the Taoist temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which has the reputation of "the land of sea and sky Buddha". Mount Putuo scenic spot has many places of interest and rich tourism resources. There are Buddhist cultural landscape, mountain and sea cultural landscape, historical and military cultural landscape, island fishing custom landscape and so on, which are places that tourists and pilgrims do not want to miss.

After landing on the island in the morning, I visited the Xitian scenic spot of Putuo Mountain Scenic Spot (Erhui tingfa stone, Guanyin ancient cave, pantuo stone, Xinzi stone); Puji Temple Scenic Area (Puji Temple); Zizhulin scenic area (Nanhai Guanyin, Zizhuyuan Zen, refused to go to guanyinyuan); Zhengshanmen Nantianmen scenic area (Nantianmen, coastal archway, zhengshanmen), etc. From about 9:00 a.m. to nightfall, it took more than 8 hours to play. The record on the mobile phone was more than 30000 steps. It was really tiring that day.

Tips

1. To Mount Putuo, the nearest and most convenient place is wugongsi Wharf (also known as Cihang passenger terminal) in Zhujiajian. There are a lot of boats, and the voyage is only about 15 minutes. The terminal has a large-scale passenger transport center and several large parking lots. The car charges dozens of yuan a day.

2. Zhujiajian is a town under Putuo District of Zhoushan City. Although it is also one of the islands in Zhoushan Archipelago, it is connected with the mainland by bridges and the road condition is very good. Zhujiajian also has several scenic spots, which are scenic spots in itself.

3. Hotels, B & B and restaurants can be found everywhere on Zhujiajian, which is convenient for accommodation. Seafood from Zhoushan Islands fishing ground, fresh and delicious.

4. Putuo Mountain is a very mature tourist area, and accommodation is also very convenient, but generally the price will be higher than outside, and the price will rise sharply on weekends, especially during holidays, and it is necessary to make a reservation first.

5. There are buses on the island. Some scenic spots are far away from each other.

On the morning of October 16, I went back to Zhujiajian from Putuo Mountain. It was cloudy and drizzled occasionally. I went to Daqingshan National Park and Nansha scenic spot for a walk. If you want to visit the international sand sculpture art square (Zhoushan international sand sculpture Festival), it happens that someone else is going to hold a beach concert in the evening. The ticket price has more than doubled. The cost performance ratio is too low. Coupled with the bad weather, you are really tired after walking all day yesterday. You'd better go back to the hotel to have a rest.

On October 17, he left Zhujiajian and went to Wuzhen, Tongxiang, Jiaxing City. Along the way, we visited Shenjiamen fishing port, Zhoushan international aquatic products city and Zhoushan Museum; Hemudu Site Museum in Yuyao City; It starts and ends at Cixi, Ningbo City, Haiyan, Jiaxing City, Hangzhou Bay Bridge and Haitian Yizhou (G15 Shenhai Expressway offshore platform). Unfortunately, it was cloudy in the afternoon when I was at haitianyizhou sightseeing tower, so the viewing rate was greatly reduced.

Tips

1. The Hemudu Ruins Museum has a great reputation. There are few things you can see now. It should be said that if you want to understand the history, you can see the landscape.

2. Hangzhou Bay Bridge is 36 km long. When it was opened to traffic on May 1, 2008, it was the longest Bay Bridge in China at that time and a masterpiece of China's bridge industry.

3. Haitian Yizhou (G15 Shenhai Expressway offshore platform) is located 1.7 km south of the South Channel Bridge of Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge, about 18 km away from the south bank. This sea platform and sightseeing tower, integrating bridge view, sea view and leisure shopping, has been built into a unique scenic spot.

4. Enter the scenic spot (full ticket price 80 yuan, preferential price 65 yuan; From a height of 120 meters, you can have a panoramic view of Hangzhou Bay and Changhong bridge.

Visit Wuzhen scenic spot all day on October 18. Morning: dongzha scenic area, former residence of Maodun, Lin family shop; Afternoon xizha scenic area, Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal and xizha night tour.

Wuzhen is a town with a long history in the south of the Yangtze River in the northern suburb of Tongxiang. Its main scenery is divided into dongzha scenic area and xizha scenic area. Here, small bridges and flowing water, green bricks and tiles, antique, everywhere showing a unique gentle and graceful, a good style of Jiangnan water.

This is a classic scenic spot, which is worth spending a day or two to experience and savor.

Tips

1. For dongzha and xizha scenic spots, you can buy tickets separately or in combination. There is a discount for purchasing combined tickets. If you have plenty of time, you'd better visit both scenic spots, plus xizha night tour. If you don't have much time, visit xizha scenic spot.

2. The management of the scenic spot is in place, clean, tidy and orderly. There are a lot of toilets, and the facilities and sanitation are very good, so we should praise them.

3. It's a good choice to take a boat tour or have more fun and artistic conception, but the cost is high.

Wuzhen is the farthest point of our trip to Zhejiang. After visiting Wuzhen scenic spot, we started to go back from Wuzhen to Shaoxing on October 19. Along the way, we visited Juxiang garden of Hangbaiju planting base in baimatang village, Shimen Town, Tongxiang City, Yanguan ancient town, Haining City, Jiaxing City (a famous historical and cultural town in China), tidal Resort Park, Qiantang River spring tide, Haishen temple, Confucius Temple academy, Jinyong Academy. It is particularly worth mentioning that it happened to be the spring tide day on the third day of March in the lunar calendar. At about 1:00 noon, I was very lucky to see the magnificent and surging Qiantang River spring tide.

Tongxiang is the hometown of Chrysanthemum morifolium in China. After a lot of understanding, we came to Juxiang garden of Chrysanthemum morifolium planting base in baimatang village, Shimen Town, Tongxiang City. Unfortunately, it came a little early, and the chrysanthemums in the field were just about to bloom. The blooming period was from the end of October to the beginning of November.

The spring tide of Qiantang River has been known as a wonder in the world since ancient times. The Yanguan tide Resort Park is a good place to watch the tide. The tide of the river is like thousands of white war horses coming at a gallop; The sound was like a mountain falling apart, like the earth shaking. Su Dongpo was praised as "August 18 tide, spectacular world without.".

Every year from August 13 to August 22 of the lunar calendar, when the Qianjiang Haining tide watching Festival is held, thousands of tourists from all over the country will come here to watch the tide, and CCTV will also broadcast it live. It is reported that 160000 people came to watch the tide on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month.

Tips

1. Although Tongxiang is the hometown of Chrysanthemum morifolium in China, there are not many plants under the influence of various factors, and even fewer are planted in pieces. The Juxiang garden of Hangbaiju planting base in baimatang village, Shimen Town, has a planting area of nearly 200 mu, which is a large scale.

2. The spring tide of Qiantang River can be seen in many places of Qiantang River tens of kilometers from Haining, Jiaxing City to Hangzhou city. Every month from the first day to the sixth day and from the fifteenth day to the twentieth day of the lunar calendar is the spring flood season, and the time of the daily flood season is different.

3. The tide Resort Park, Haishen temple, Confucius Temple academy and Jinyong academy have been built into Haining salt official tide viewing scenic spots. Tickets can be purchased separately or jointly. If the time schedule is not much, then it is OK to visit the tide Resort Park and watch the spring tide of Qiantang River, and the landscape of other scenic spots can be completely ignored.

On October 20, I spent a whole day visiting Keyan scenic spot and Lanting scenic spot in the ancient city of Shaoxing; Scenic spots of Lu Xun's hometown: Lu Xun's ancestral residence, Sanwei bookstore, Lu Xun memorial hall, Lu Xun's former residence and Shen Yuan.

Shaoxing, the ancient city, is a famous town of water, bridge, wine, calligraphy and celebrities. It is known as a history museum without walls. There are many places of interest here, and there are many stories about Liufang for later generations to watch.

Tips

1. Keyan scenic spot is tied up with Jianhu and Lu Town, and the tickets (including the cruise ship) are too expensive. The scenic spot of Lu Xun's hometown is free of charge. You can get a ticket with your ID card to visit Lu Xun's ancestral home, Sanwei bookstore, Lu Xun Memorial Hall and Lu Xun's former residence

2. Lanting scenic area presents a profound historical and cultural heritage. Visiting the scenic spot, especially the Lanting calligraphy Museum, is very helpful to understand the preface of Lanting collection and the history of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher.

After visiting Shaoxing, the tour arrangement of this self driving tour in Zhejiang has been completed. Starting from October 21, it took two days to drive about 1100 km. During this period, it stopped at Fuqing in Fujian Province and successfully returned to Shantou on October 22, ending the self driving tour in Zhejiang Province.

Tips

1. This self driving tour is 3260 km long. Apart from expressways, it also takes a lot of county and township roads and roads between scenic spots. No matter the highway or other roads are in very good condition, did not cross any gravel road. Zhejiang has done a good job in this respect and has taken the lead.

2. In recent years, the "toilet revolution" advocated from the top down has achieved phased results, which is obvious to all. It's really convenient to think of "convenience" wherever you go. Especially in the scenic spots, not only many but also very clean, and some are equipped with toilet paper, hot water and rest area.

3. The temperature is very suitable for traveling in this season. Most of the time, the temperature will be between 15-24 degrees, but it will be a little hot at noon. It is a good season for hiking.

4. Due to the impact of the epidemic in the first half of the year, the tourism industry is still in the recovery growth period, and there are not many tourists in scenic spots. Without the phenomenon of overcrowding, it's much more comfortable to travel in the scenic area.
