Food and drink
The food in Hangzhou is just like the West Lake. A hundred people have a hundred flavors in their hearts. Those well-known time-honored brands should go, but they should also pay attention to them in order to eat more comfortably!
1. There are many branches in Zhiweiguan, some of which don't sell snacks, so before you go, you should find out whether to eat snacks or hangzhou dishes, and then decide which branch to go to.
2. Louwailou is located in Gushan Scenic Area. It is a very humble building with a general environment. However, if you go early and sit in a window seat on the second floor, the scenery will be very good, facing the island in the middle of the West Lake. There are also many special dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish, which is also an old brand in Hangzhou. If it's your first visit to Hangzhou, it's worth a visit.
go shopping
When you come to Hangzhou, you have to buy some local products made in Hangzhou to take home. Silk, tea and clothing are the three major choices for hikers. These special tips can help you complete the shopping task easily!
1. Use the supermarket: There is a Carrefour in Yongjinmen, Xihu Avenue, which is open until the afternoon 10. I suggest you can buy a lot of local products there. It is a special product like tea. If you don't understand, you can go to the supermarket to buy it. The price is reasonable and the quality is guaranteed.
2. Tea Walnut: Jiefang Road Tea Market, at the intersection of Jiefang Road and Youshengguan. In addition to selling tea, the market is also famous for small walnuts. There is a hand-peeled walnut produced in Lin 'an. It tastes like cream. It's convenient to eat and tastes good. 30 yuan left and right a bag. You can buy some to try.
3. Clothing market: Sijiqing is a wholesale market, similar to Shanghai Textile City; Longqiao is a food stall, similar to Qipu Road, but slightly higher than Qipu Road; The style of Wulin Women's Street is similar to moving Di Mei Shopping Center underground. Jiefang Road Business Circle near the intersection of Yan 'an Road and Jiefang Road, where Jiefang Department Store is similar to Shibi 1 Store; Yuan Wah Mall is similar to the Hong Kong dollar exchange; North of Yan 'an Road is Wulinmen Business Circle, where Hangzhou Department Store and Hangzhou Tower are similar to Huijin and Bai Liu. Yintai Department Store is similar to the transformed Oriental Commercial Building.
: hint
1. The brochure "Hangzhou Travel Guide" can be obtained free of charge in hotels, tourist information points, airports and station service desks in Hangzhou. Editor of Hangzhou Tourism Commission, including Chinese, Japanese, English, Korean, German, French and Spanish. They have made a very detailed introduction to all the contents of Hangzhou and its surrounding tourism, which is of great reference value!
It is recommended not to live in the suburbs. The bus in Hangzhou closes too early, so it is difficult to take a taxi in the scenic spot and it is not easy to go back.
Don't buy tea if you don't understand. There are authentic Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing.
4. Visitors should consciously care for the cultural relics, flowers and trees of various scenic spots, and don't scribble on the scenic spots and historical sites at will.
In recent years, the global climate has become unusually warm. Hangzhou is very hot in July and August, and the highest temperature is almost 40 degrees. Be sure to take heatstroke prevention measures when going out, such as taking sunscreen, umbrella and enough water.
attract one's attention
1.3-May and 9-65438+1October are the peak tourist seasons in Hangzhou. It is recommended to book accommodation at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially some rooms with high cost performance, otherwise you may not be able to book an ideal hotel.
Many scenic spots in Hangzhou are concentrated in the mountains. If you want to take part, you must bring a pair of comfortable shoes.
3. The distance between scenic spots in Hangzhou is generally long. Unless you like hiking, it is recommended to take a bus to save time and effort.
West Lake is located in Shangcheng District of Hangzhou, which can be reached by bus or subway.
(1) Take the subway 1 line to Longxiangqiao Station, and walk 400 meters from the station to the West Lake.
(2) Take Tour 2 and get off at Su Causeway Station; Take bus No.28 and 15 and get off at Yuquan Station. No.7, No.7, Moon Powder Station, you can get there.
Friendly Reminder
Everything in the scenic spot is more expensive, so you
The operating hours of public transport in Hangzhou are generally 6:00- 18:00 for tourist buses, 6:00- 18:00 for suburban buses and 5:00-22:00 for urban buses. There are 15 1, 152, 155, K56, K3, K8, 20 1-2 13 night buses that operate beyond 22:00. No.8 (Gulou-Desheng New Village), No.228 (East Railway Station-Wulinmen), No.251(Railway Station-Gongzhen Bridge) and No.208 spend the night. The departure time in the evening is divided into time periods.
The starting price of Hangzhou taxis is 10 yuan (4km), and the unit price per kilometer is 2 yuan, and the unit price per kilometer over 8km is 2.4 yuan.
Most taxis in Hangzhou are Passat, Sonata and Hongqi. It is difficult to get a taxi at five or six in the afternoon.
Hotels of all grades have many guest houses. You can choose according to your own needs. If you come in the tourist season, you'd better compare it with the reservation in advance.
When you go to Hangzhou in summer, you should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and hydration to avoid heatstroke. Try to travel in the early morning and evening to avoid the hot time at noon.
You can prepare some effervescent tablets of vitamin C to drink and supplement vitamins on the way. In addition, in order to eliminate fatigue during travel and oxidize lactic acid accumulated in the body, you can also eat some vinegar with a plum in your mouth.
Be careful not to pay attention to those who sell tea pearls to outsiders. It's all fake. The West Lake does not produce pearls.
Hangzhou is located in the subtropical monsoon region with four distinct seasons. The summer climate is hot and humid, and it is called a small stove. On the contrary, winter is cold and dry. The climate in spring and autumn is pleasant, which is the golden season for sightseeing. So choose the right travel time.
Better go out together at night.
: transportation
1. Hangzhou is adjacent to Shanghai and belongs to "black under the lamp". Comrades who are more than 500 kilometers away from Hangzhou can pay attention to check the ticket information. Maybe there will be a surprise.
2. Taxis in Hangzhou have won the reputation of "the worst in the country", and the management level is almost the same as that of black cars. Refusal, carpooling, cheating and taking kickbacks are common, with poor service attitude and high price. At least 90% of taxis cruising around the West Lake during rush hour are ready to kill. More importantly, if you are in the wrong place and time, you don't even have a chance to be slaughtered. Therefore, it is recommended to choose People Uber and use the next related application on the mobile phone in an emergency. The first advantage of Hangzhou Uber is that it is easy to open, and there is no rejection in theory. Second, at present, most drivers are white-collar, and the cars are all new cars within five years, and the prices are all above 6.5438+0.5 million. There are more software and hardware than taxis, and the price is also cheap; Third, remote billing is not easy to be cheated, and the potential safety factor is high.
3. The public transportation in Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area is relatively developed. I suggest getting a tourist card. With the card, you can take the bus, and the waterwheel doesn't have to prepare any change. You can also rent public bicycles for almost free. At present, due to the demolition of Longxiang Bridge, Hangzhou bus IC card center has been moved to Yinji Ding 'an Road, 500 meters away from Ding 'an Road subway station. You don't need an ID card and an application form to apply for a tourist card. You can pay the 200 yuan deposit and recharge it at Window 6 100 yuan.
4. It is recommended to download and install Hangzhou City Pass APP on your mobile phone. With this software, you can easily find out the location and situation of bicycle service points around you.
When renting a bicycle, tall comrades should pay attention to the seat height. Don't push it away in a hurry. First of all, pay attention to the test ride and check the tires, pedals and brakes. Individual public bicycles are not locked, that is to say, they cannot be parked outside the service point. Choose them carefully. At present, no one will check your condition when returning the car in Hangzhou, so even if the wheels and pedals fall off, it will not delay your returning the car. However, if there is a bigger problem, you can't even push the parking space. I suggest you take your car to the Children's Palace, Liulang Wenying and other central service points for repair.
6. It is not recommended to rent privately operated public bicycles. High price is only one factor, and the most important thing is that it is easy to borrow and not pay back. You know, except Su Causeway and Bai Causeway, all SCs are not allowed to ride bicycles.
7. Cycling around the lake, you should be especially careful when passing Nanshan Road, which is located in the southwest of the West Lake. The bicycle lanes here are particularly narrow. Although motor vehicles in Hangzhou are famous for being polite to pedestrians, electric vehicles still have the same characteristics as other cities. Some fast electric cars will sound the horn to warn you when overtaking, but some are obviously electric cars worn by migrant workers, which are not only faster, but also silent. If you accidentally bump into you, you will inevitably suffer the pain of flesh and blood, and your life may even be broken. Besides, electric cars are hard to get compensation. Therefore, when riding on Nanshan Road, you must always be careful of the electric cars coming up from behind.
8. The electric ferry on the West Lake only operates during the day, and the more expensive "West Lake Night Tour" operates after 5: 30 pm every day. The "West Lake Night Tour" only stays in Zhou Xiaoying (i.e. silver moon Santan) for 5 minutes. Among the five docks of the West Lake Ferry (Children's Palace, Zhongshan Park, Yuemiao Sailing, Fish Watching and Wang Qian Memorial Hall), Huagang Fish Watching (Su Causeway) is a dock that does not accept individual travelers. After purchasing the electric ferry ticket, landing on Xiaoying Island is free and the landing time is unlimited. You can choose to return to any dock on land.
9. It seems a beautiful choice to visit the three islands in the lake by boat. In fact, it is basically impossible, unless there are no old, weak, sick and pregnant people in the team, all the staff are strong men, there is no strong wind on the lake, the weather is suitable, and the time and budget are extremely sufficient. The West Lake is bigger than you think, and boating is more difficult than you think.
10. water bus with Hangzhou characteristics is not easy to sit in. First of all, don't dream of Line 5 crossing more than half of the city to Xixi Wetland. Anyway, I searched the old and new docks in Wulinmen within the specified time, but I couldn't find the shadow of the ferry, and the staff didn't know anything about it. The normal line 1 and Line 2 run every 40 minutes, and long queues are required. Moreover, the ship can't be overloaded, and it can only wait until after work. So those who want to take the bus must plan their trip.
1 1. Although nominally all manned bicycle service points can handle the business of returning tourist consumption cards, don't worry about what official website says. According to my on-site inquiry, the general service point does not handle the card return business after 3: 30 pm, and the larger central service points such as Children's Palace only extend the service time to 5: 00. Even if the deadline is less than, I will stare blankly "no change". If you can't return your card before you leave, you must contribute to the finance of Hangzhou. It is recommended to return the card at window 6 of the bus IC card center. Before returning the card, check the machine at the bicycle service point, press 2 and then press OK to withdraw the 200 yuan deposit of the public bicycle system into the card.
12. Hangzhou is limited, and holidays in West Lake Scenic Area are even more limited. It's not easy for a foreign car to come in. If you are not careful, you will be punished. The parking spaces of hotels of all sizes in the whole West Lake District are quite tight (except the oversized ones), and the parking lots near the scenic spots are even more shocking. In view of this, it is not recommended to go to go on road trip.
visit
When you come to Hangzhou, you must visit the West Lake. First of all, there are many scenic spots along the West Lake, represented by the traditional "Ten Scenes of the West Lake", including closed scenic spots such as Wangyue Temple, Wang Qian Memorial Hall, Jingci Temple, Xiling Printing House and Gushan Pavilion of Zhejiang Museum, which basically belong to the category of must-visit; From this range to the north, west and south, there are many famous scenic spots on the mountain, such as Longjing, Tiger Run, Pagoda of Six Harmonies, Room 18 of Jiuxi, Lingyin Temple, Santianzhu and Fenghuang Mountain. Besides the West Lake, Xixi Wetland, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and Qinghefang in Hangzhou are also famous tourist attractions. Finally, there are many interesting old houses and museums in the old city of Hangzhou. You can also have a look.
2. Special reminder to comrades in the north. If you come to Hangzhou in summer, remember that the heat in the south is not a concept at all, but a grade. Where there are rows of trees and running water, it may be stuffy. If you want to be cool, you should stay in open water or mountain pass. The wind is king. When there is no wind after the rain, the car
5. Longjing Scenic Area is not recommended. No matter in the railway station, bus station or bus station around the West Lake, there are always countless "enthusiastic people" who try their best to lead you to Longjing Village. Taxi drivers are happy to go to Longjing Village, especially Longjing Village Committee, and even willing to charge less. There is something fishy in this, and many raiders can see it. However, "enthusiastic people" do nothing every day, and a large number of taxi drivers go nowhere except for a sip of Longjing tea. Presumably, you won't walk away without saying "Don't buy", and you won't let go of 300 and 500 yuan easily. By the way, Hangzhou locals all go to meijiawu for tea now. It's not true, but at least the safety factor is higher.
6. Leifeng Tower has been rebuilt. For example, the Leifeng Pagoda, which used to be an old woman, has collapsed now, and the pictures are collected in the Gushan Museum of Zhejiang Museum. Leifeng Pagoda, as one of the few "ancient pagodas" where you can climb the tower by elevator, is not the only point to view the lake. Moreover, if the holiday West Lake can be called hell, it must be the broken bridge and Leifeng Tower on the 18 floor. Therefore, the student party with limited budget can consider whether to buy tickets to climb the tower. After all, the Leifeng Pagoda and Jewel Tower are the crowning touch of the West Lake, and their significance lies in overlooking rather than mocking.
7. There are few historical sites in the cultural landscape around Hangzhou. However, the humanistic connotation of many scenic spots, such as the traditional "Ten Scenes of West Lake", can not be diluted even if the original site has been rebuilt, rebuilt or even copied in different places. Many second-class landscapes have a certain degree of repetition. If time is not enough, you can choose them. For example, you don't have to go to Yuquan to go to Tiger Run. If you climb Leifeng Pagoda and Baoshi Mountain, it doesn't matter if you don't go to Huangchengge.
8. The time of the West Lake Music Fountain is often adjusted, and the time given by Baidu Encyclopedia is not absolutely accurate. There are many people watching the music fountain. If you want to take pictures, you'd better squeeze to both sides when choosing seats, and try to grab a stone chair, so that the whole fountain can be photographed in the phone lens. If it is a holiday, comrades with children should not grab the front row. Beware of extreme happiness and sadness.
Pagoda of Six Harmonies is north of the Yangtze River, not south of it. The location marked on the map of Gaud is wrong.
10. Tiger Running Spring is not a Tiger Head Pool, but a glass-covered stone well behind the pool. There is a water intake point in Hu Quan, but citizens are waiting in long lines with pure buckets. Visitors who come and go in a hurry should not expect too much from joining in the fun.
1. Hangzhou has regulations on temple incense. Burning incense is forbidden in every temple, and tickets are provided with three fragrant flowers. Therefore, never buy incense outside the temple. Don't buy a dollar, buy it for nothing.
12. Tickets for Lingyin Temple Scenic Area (i.e. Feilaifeng) are in 45 yuan, and tickets for Lingyin Temple are in 30 yuan, which means you need to buy tickets twice to enter Lingyin Temple. After entering Lingyin Scenic Area, you can go up the mountain from the path next to the guide map at the entrance, visit the nearby Qinglin Cave, then return to the main road and visit along the main road. Basically, you can see most valuable landscapes. Fengfei is not a flying stone, and there is no special landscape on the peak. Lingyin Temple is world-famous for its magnificent architecture and hardware facilities, and it is famous in Han temples in China. But it has a strong commercial atmosphere and basically exists as a scenic spot. You must go to Lingyin Temple to see its 500 Arhats Hall.
13. If you want to worship Buddha, you can choose Santianzhu near Lingyin Scenic Area.
14. Xixi Wetland is famous, but the scenery is not beautiful. Wetland is divided into East Garden and West Garden, which are operated independently. Most people choose the East Garden. Tickets for the East District include a small ticket from Gaozhuang. You are allowed to enter and leave the scenic spot once that day, and you must pick up the ticket. If it is a half-day tour budget of Xixi, it is suggested to start the tour from the entrance of Zhoujia Village in the east, and you can get a glimpse of the fishing village like Yanshui. Scenic spots to Tankou
15. Summer lasts forever, but many museums don't wait for people. Pay attention to the closing time of each museum, which is basically 4-5 pm. Around the West Lake, Baopuzi Daoyuan, Jingci Temple, Wang Qian Memorial Hall, Xiling Printing House and the famous former residence of Hu Xueyan closed earlier.
16. Hu Xueyan's former residence is a typical Jiangnan garden with ravines on his chest. Look at the guide map on the back of the ticket after entering the door and follow the tour route strictly, otherwise you will get lost in 5 minutes.
other
1. Hangzhou tour is basically around the West Lake and its surrounding areas. For convenience, you must live around the West Lake. Western Hunan and West Lake are both good places with lush trees and beautiful scenery, which are naturally occupied by some high-end resorts and hotels. Moreover, these areas are relatively sparsely populated, so restaurants and shopping in hotels can only pay at least twice the normal price, and public transportation is often not counted. Therefore, backpackers and student parties are not recommended to live in this area. It is recommended to stay in the lakeside area east of West Lake and west of Zhonghe Road, or in the area of Bao _ Road, Shuguang Road and Tianmushan Road north of West Lake.
Children's boots in the north, when you come to Hangzhou in summer, you must bring more clothes. Because the weather in Hangzhou is humid in summer, all clothes should be changed at least once a day. Washing clothes in a hotel is inconvenient, and even if it is washed, it is extremely difficult to dry in this high humidity weather, so be sure to bring more clothes.
3. Be sure to bring toilet water, sesame oil and the like. Mosquitoes should be repelled in Xixi Wetland, Baoshi Mountain, Feilaifeng and other densely wooded places, and help should be given when there are signs of heatstroke. Even so, it is best not to wear short skirts and shorts when going to the above places.
4. Be sure to bring the fan. Each of the four gifted scholars in Jiangnan has a fan, which is not only for enjoying the cool, but also an absolute necessity when visiting scenic spots in summer.
5. Be sure to bring diarrhea medicine. Drinking plenty of water every day, especially iced drinks, diarrhea is almost inevitable. In the sauna days with the highest temperature, it is impossible to swim in the West Lake only by warm boiled water, so it is necessary to drink sports drinks with salt and sugar in moderation.
6. Because of the eight regulations, many high-end hotels around the West Lake have lowered their prices and introduced cheap dishes. People can also try it once in a while, such as Dahua Hotel.
7. In addition to the shops on the tip of the tongue, there are many good noodle restaurants in Hangzhou. You can look for it in public comments, and you don't have to wait in line for hours in one or two stores. Personally recommend Zhong Er noodle restaurant.
eat
Hotel queuing: It's normal in Hangzhou. The shops with the most queues in Hangzhou are 1, grandma's house 2, celebrity 3, Bailuyuan 4 and Louwailou. I want to eat Hangzhou food. In fact, Wang Runxing and Yuan Kui Pavilion are time-honored brands, and not many people go there.
West Lake: Near Jinyongmen. Only Starbucks, pasta and another coffee whose name has been forgotten are recommended. It is not recommended to eat there, it is a bit expensive.
Teahouse: Hangzhou's characteristic culture is actually a cafeteria. You can have a cup of tea, a buffet and fruit. Of course, the food quality is average, that is, satiety. The advantage is that the fee is fixed (50-60 per person), which is suitable for meeting and chatting. If you have eaten, I suggest going to Huimin Road and Teahouse. An elegant place will not let you down.
Coffee: There are many quiet and distinctive coffee shops in Hangzhou. Don't go to cross-strait coffee, the lights are dim and the atmosphere is ambiguous. It is suggested to go to Beta Coffee on Wen Er Road and Tongpu Road, Coffee Pillow on Labor Road, and Phoebe Coffee on the upper floor of Xinhua Bookstore on Fengqi Road.
There are two places where staying up late is not recommended: 1. Huanglong food stall. 2, Huansha Road Sichuan flavor concept, poor service, outrageous.
Recommended place to stay up late: 1. Opposite the north gate of Desheng Institute of Technology, the newly opened Triumph Barbecue; 2, Hedong Road charcoal roast oysters, farm grilled fish, salted beef; 3. Yunshui Tea Restaurant on the first floor of Friendship Hotel on Huansha Road, I heard that it is gone and I have eaten many delicious shops. There is a food street at the intersection of Tangwan Road and Wen Yi Road.
Formal date with the girl you like: buffet western food, of course. The table is clean, you can eat delicious food, which saves the trouble of ordering food, and the meal time can be extended as you like.
Beer: Jinxi Lake is recommended. The bottle is big, high concentration and cheap. But the profit is low, and most hotels either don't sell or don't freeze. The rest of the green rain, Qiandao Lake, red Liang Shi, snowflakes, small bottles, faint wine smell, really a thousand cups are not drunk.
Xinfeng snack: Hangzhou residents' favorite affordable Xinfeng snack.
The best dumpling restaurant: located on Tianmushan Road, opposite the south gate of Xixi Campus of Zhejiang University, it is a dumpling restaurant opened by Shandong people, with rich fillings and delicious taste. To my regret, it has only one shop.
