My Retirement Life - Zhejiang Trip (Part 8).

September 12th, depart from Hangzhou and take the expressway to Nanhu, Jiaxing. Nanhu Lake, a place full of historical culture and natural scenery, is not only the birthplace of the Communist Party but also famous for its scenery of "light smoke brushing the bank, a gentle breeze about to come." The Nanhu Scenic Area is free of charge, and a boat ride to the island in the center of the lake costs CNY 20 per person. First, visit the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall, then take a boat to the island in the center of the lake to admire the Nanhu Red Boat and experience the history and natural beauty of the birthplace of the Communist Party. Then, head to Xitang Ancient Town. Book a guesthouse within the scenic area online. Arrive in Xitang at nearly 3 pm, contact the guesthouse owner, park the car in the parking lot outside the scenic area near the visitor center, and take the necessities for overnight stay to the visitor center's rest area. Wait for the guesthouse owner to pick us up at 5 pm and take us to the hotel within the scenic area (free entry before 8 am and after 5 pm). Have dinner at Yuchunlou near the bridge in the scenic area, and enjoy a night tour of Xitang.
