Traveling to Yixing is not only beautiful but also affordable.

Budget Travel in Wuxi and Yixing: Discover the Charm of Jiangnan Water Towns The meaning of travel may lie in those unexpected discoveries and moments that make your heart skip a beat and stop in your tracks. This time, we embarked on a journey from Hangzhou to Yixing, and along the way, we were filled with joy and touched by the experiences we encountered. On the first day, we took a high-speed train from Ningbo to Hangzhou. The hustle and bustle of the city seemed to pause here, replaced by the rare tranquility along the river. Our group arrived at the city terrace, and it felt as if the whole world slowed down. The gentle river breeze blew away the fatigue of the journey and brought a sense of peace to our hearts. The sunset reflected on the river, shimmering with light, and at that moment, we felt as if we had become part of this beautiful scenery, a part of the painting. On the second day, we drove to Yixing, embarking on a brand-new journey. Our first stop was Taoer Factory, which not only boasts unique architectural styles but also rich cultural connotations. The teapot exhibition inside the factory opened our eyes to the world of teapots, with their diverse shapes and exquisite designs, perfectly combining art and everyday life. We eagerly picked up our cameras to capture these rare moments. Leaving Taoer Factory, we arrived at Gunan Street. This narrow and long street is lined with small workshops where artisans are busy making Zisha teapots. The houses here are closely connected, as if telling the ancient stories of Jiangnan water towns. Strolling along Gunan Street, we felt as if we had traveled back in time, experiencing the ancient and simple charm. Finally, we reached Dachao Mountain's Little Great Wall. Although only three kilometers long, this Little Great Wall offered us a unique experience. The uphill sections were a bit challenging, but when we reached the top and looked back at the path we had taken, a sense of accomplishment welled up within us. The vegetarian meal inside the Little Great Wall also surprised us with its simplicity and deliciousness, leaving a lasting impression. During this trip, we not only admired the beautiful scenery but also felt the profound cultural heritage of Jiangnan water towns. Every place has its unique story, and every journey is a spiritual cleansing. We look forward to our next departure, anticipating more beauty and touching moments.

The Urban Balcony is the best viewing platform in Hangzhou's Qianjiang New City

During this Spring Festival, I visited the Urban Balcony in Hangzhou. There were not many tourists, but you could see the scenery on both sides of the Qiantang River. On the opposite side of the river is the main venue of the Hangzhou Asian Games - the Big and Small Lotus, which is also the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center. It is also the best spot to watch the Qianjiang New City light show. 📍Detailed address: No. 1078, Zhijiang Road, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province 🚉Transportation strategy: Subway lines 4 and 7 to the Citizen Center Station. There are also shared bicycles nearby, and of course, you can also drive there. 🗓 Background: The Hangzhou Urban Balcony is located in the core area of Qianjiang New City, consisting of 'one main and two auxiliary' 3 urban balconies. Each balcony is an open and vibrant modern city park, integrating leisure, tide-watching, recreation, and relaxation. The main balcony is located on the central axis of the core area, with the Qiantang River embankment as the baseline, extending dozens of meters out over the river surface, with a length of about 322 meters. Most of it is suspended over the river, with the farthest point protruding about 80 meters from the river embankment. The entire balcony is divided into upper and lower levels, with just the first level having a construction area of 24,000 square meters. 🌟Highlights: Here is Hangzhou's largest outlet store, as well as two large shopping malls, Raffles City and MixC. There are quite a few shopping, dining, and entertainment facilities around. You can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Qiantang River from the Urban Balcony, and it is also a great place to watch the Qiantang River tide. 📝Note tips: It is important to note that there are warnings against flying drones here, as it is not far from Xiaoshan Airport.

The Hangzhou Civic Center and City Balcony have become new landmarks

Yesterday, the cold wind in Hangzhou was biting. The cold in the south always makes northerners unbearable, and it also makes me, a southerner, unbearable, with the wind causing a headache. I chatted with a friend over lunch until 3:30 in the afternoon and found that it seemed too late to go to the usual famous scenic spots in Hangzhou (which close at 16:30). My mother suddenly mentioned that I hadn't been to the new civic center in Hangzhou, and suggested that I could go for a walk. The civic center and the city government have both moved to this new place. With the Asian Games having been held in Hangzhou not long ago, the mascot at the entrance of the city government is still there. If you walk forward from the civic center, you will reach the CBD Park, underneath which is the Sands Ship Outlet with many shops and brands, and it is directly connected to the subway station. If you walk towards the Qiantang River, on the left is the Hangzhou Grand Theater (an ugly building), and on the right is an international conference center that looks like a golden ping pong ball. The G20 Summit was held here. My God! What a design! It's incredibly crowded! If you continue walking, you will reach the Qiantang River. It seems that they want to build a Lujiazui in Hangzhou here. The wind by the river is extremely strong, causing a real headache. You can see the main venue of the Asian Games (a petal-shaped stadium) across the river, as well as a bizarre building that looks like two upward-facing legs (extremely ugly). Well, anyway, my dad and I complained a lot, which embarrassed my mom. She said, anyway, I brought you here to see it.

The beautiful night view by the Qiantang River

I came specifically to take pictures of the night view🌃, it's really beautiful~ It's a pity that I missed the Asian Games fireworks show🎆, if I came in October, I should be able to witness the spectacle, but walking along the Qiantang River is also very comfortable! The city balcony is located on the north bank of the Qiantang River. If you go to the CBD park⛲️, you should be able to reach the city balcony view by heading west. This is a great place to watch the sunset🌄. If you don't have to wait for a meal before, it's probably just right to come here after dinner. There are also shopping malls, venues and so on nearby to visit, it is a modern landscape different from the West Lake of Hangzhou~

Hangzhou | The river and sky blend into one, the sunlight on the city balcony is too warm!

After the Asian Games, the city has quieted down, but the scenery is more beautiful because all the barriers have been removed! The sun is shining, the river and sky blend into one, looking at the big lotus and the new city, isn't it comfortable? 🌟Highlights: Stunning scenery! 📍Detailed address: The intersection of Jiefang Road and Zhejiang Road 🚉Transportation strategy: Metro Line 4 Civic Center Station

One of Hangzhou's new urban landmarks, the city's balcony. Each balcony is an open and vibrant modern city park that combines leisure, mood watching, recreation and relaxation. In the raging Qiantang River, overlooking the whole picture of Qianjiang New City, the words of Qianjiang New City are very eye-catching, and the high-rise buildings are well planned and magnificent.

After nightfall, the 700,000-inch LED lights distributed outside the Qiantang River and outside the high-rise buildings shine in a unique arrangement, forming a unique set of light shows. It must be said that this is the Bund in Hangzhou. . Although it is compared to the Bund in Hangzhou, it is a hundred times clearer than the Bund. There are no ships on the river that sway back and forth, and there are no crowds, especially after the light show is over, and there are occasional tourists or locals in twos and threes. It is best to go for a walk in the rest of the trip, blowing the cold wind, it will be much more comfortable than squeezing the West Lake fountain in the West Lake. At 7:30 pm every week, there is a light show at 8:30 each. Even if you miss the light show, you don't have to regret it. In addition to the light show, other night scenes are also beautiful. There may also be custom performances on New Year's Day~
