moklin
Since we are using the holiday to go out, and for the 51 peak was a long holiday trips to know that we have been mentally prepared when the time what kind of scene. In order not to be too passive and we began to plan a month ago. We find a lot of relevant online information (hotels, attractions, journey, others travel experience), initially to determine a good route and some related matters. This process is a fun process!
Monday, April 30 (Guangzhou, Shanghai)
We are sitting Eastern 4:40 pm on April 30 flight from Guangzhou to Shanghai (1160 yuan, your A!). Aircraft is a BOEING 777, the plane of the device class, so I think that it is indeed a pleasure to sit, too cool a! Each machine has its own display and headphones, are free to choose to watch (listen to) more than 10 channels. Guangzhou to Shanghai as long as more than an hour on the plane take a look at MTV, Tingting Ge, eat things, time passed! Finished 1160 on the enjoyment of a sudden! !
5:50 PM to reach Hongqiao Airport. I looked out the window, there is light rain, so that to a large Shanghai after! Mind and movement as up, the word - excitement. Make a phone call home报平安, and then look for vehicles to leave the Hongqiao Airport. We have not made a choice of places to stay, near the train station, we were expected to find, then we have gone through Shanghai Jiao Tong University, we feel that in colleges and universities looking for guest houses near the relatively cost-effective. We stop at the National Chiao Tung University, and in nearby hotels (many are small stars, who can not afford have to look at the Well!) Turn full circle come to the conclusion that the learned or the National Chiao Tung University House Hostel for us. 320 yuan Standard room is full, we chose 180 yuan / room (basement, public bathroom, toilet, 3), the environment can be. Forgot to say! In the process of looking for somewhere to live, we walked to Xujiahui, Hengshan Road have also left. Hengshan Road is indeed a very good way, all the way there are lots of great style of bars, restaurants. Unfortunately, that time, we stay yet, not in any mood closer look.
May 1 Tuesday (Shanghai, Suzhou)
We originally planned an early start to go to Suzhou. But we do not proceed as planned, because there is no expected to train would stop, bus ticket is also hot, in the hesitation to buy only between 14:00 and more votes. There is still time, we in the Xujiahui subway to People's Square, visited the Hong Kong Street Shoppes and discovered there is a very self-Q, mobile phone lines, but did not buy. There has also bought a hand like a very special letter that accompanied us all the way things go. We plan to go to Putuo Mountain, so taking advantage of the time also went to the ticket hall of the Shiliupu terminal to Putuo Mountain View a bit of the ticket matters. But subsequently, we hurried back to the car, time estimation errors, too nervous, and almost can not go on the car. Fortunately, we were very co-production deal with the problem is somewhat minds think alike feel the future is still to be the case.
More than 4 points to reach Suzhou Qijubeizhan, originally intended to take the bus to the city to find hotels, but we sat in the opposite direction, and accidentally went to the Tiger Hill. In this case, it would obtain other somewhere to stay and tour of Tiger Hill bar. Although only two hours away from closing time, but which people still are more 51 Well, people are more of a. To the inside look at Tiger Hill Pagoda, Yen Chen-ching to see the handwriting - Tiger Hill Jianchi, enjoyable look at the tomb of the king, as well as tourists from all over the country (that is the scenery? If you think not, you will be very hard, because everywhere people, with the appreciation of the angle or felt well.) 5:30 We come out ready to return to the town to find a hotel. There is one final class of vehicles, people abound. Ready crowded bar! Fortunately, we have found a place to sit. We are directed at the Soviet Union on the Internet to see large hotel near the Soochow go, so see the bus terminal is the Soviet Union large, ready to sit down at the terminus. Car is through the busiest section of Suzhou - People's Road, the road there are also many hotels of different grades. After the Soviet Union large, the sky has begun to dark. Revel bar, we like to go to university to see if, in fact, each university has the scenery, especially the history of universities, worth a visit. We walked in the Soviet Union Dali, the environment can be a good, old clock, and European-style of ancient buildings left us with a deep impression. However, there are several door Soochow University, Soochow and we are not going near the hotel door, there is no found, an excuse Soochow hotels. And there had been in the dark, hungry and tired, so we decided to go back to the people on the road to find hotels. This is another section of the road march, we are constantly asked if the room? Continuous walking continuously determine the position, to determine the direction, we have come a long way. In the view of Front Street was finally found near a newly opened hotel less than a week of the dragon and phoenix, house prices are 320 yuan / room (I know this is not for the self-tour for a small number, but because of its newly opened, there were tired and hungry, so the luxury of a back, and then I 300 yuan a night is not a luxury). To lay down their luggage we all got food and clothing out to solve the problem. View of Front Street is a very busy road in Suzhou, status is probably the Nanjing Road in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing Lu, Beijing's Wangfujing. In the view of Front Street where there are snacks at home to find a place, when we really incredibly hungry. We call the mint cake, casserole, Yakitori loin, snail, well fed! Heard of Suzhou famous cakes, we will try mint cake, and taste is very sticky, very chewing head, others would not try the bread too. The way we also bought some souvenirs - Suzhou, candy, paper-cut art.
Wednesday, May 2 (Suzhou, Tongli, Shanghai)
Morning on schedule to Tongli Town. Because many people are into the same, the car actually did not work overtime. We do not way, it was decided to play a taxi to go the same years (talk about a good price 85 yuan, but hit the table before the discovery of 80). By the same inside and found a lot of people, so that originally Youziyouwei lose their interesting places. We all like travel, we could not stroll. Or to see some of the scenery of Jiangnan Water Town. We walk around on the back of Suzhou. China and Pakistan before returning to sit 6 yuan / person. First go back to West Park, Cold Mountain Temple. West Park is a temple, there is no meaning. Cold Mountain Temple because of a famous poem, and the power of art really big. And then to Lion Grove and the Humble Administrator's Garden. Believe that the landscape garden in its quiet, when you have a pile of rocks found in people everywhere, you are not willing to stay more. We are dedicated leave little place, combined with our know how to take a break from the masses inside and visited the course we are very happy! . Scheduled to sit 6:20's car back to Shanghai to Shanghai is more than 8:00, because the original like a good return to Shanghai, Fuzhou Road, looking after the hotel stay (in a busy road, but also close to the Bund). The result is from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, each hotel (regardless of medium or a guest house in general) are asked only one answer - completely full! We have also tried to find back to the vicinity of Xujiahui, the result is the same. Really should be if the night is not accommodated. The more time passes the more I could not find later. We are aware of the huge one can not be all Shanghai hotels are fully booked, but we can not put all the hotel exhausted. Time passed slowly began to turn cold, the wind was great, and we tired and hungry, plus a little bit frustrated with each other vent some! At that time the feeling is very interesting. Are preparing to sleep on the occasion of (the location would also like to sleep well, and is the Bund, but also sleeping in a little romance), think of prior to departure on the Internet to find heaps of information about Shanghai hotel, try one by one called to ask whether there is room ( Time is already nearly 12 o'clock). Pudong too far away, we do not select a result, found the Xuhui District, Tianlin Hotel (only 388 yuan suite). What also has to accept this situation, we have (in fact, you) like the same catch Jiuming Cao, immediately hit the taxi in the past. Do not sleep in finally. The conclusion of today we went to many places, 24 hours is very short, and soon there will be no, but it seems very long, we ran three places, a lot of things.
Thursday, May 3 (Shanghai)
Lazy morning, sleeping bed (like the cost of as much as possible to enjoy 388), up late, the night before the lodging experience adventure, I really do not want a little bit further out, but think in Shanghai, they still have to face the accommodation problem. It would be better to the surrounding areas. Our plan is by boat to Putuo Mountain. Go to Putuo Mountain is not an end, we are not Buddhist devotees atheist, I want to go there because I want to boat, want to see the sea, come up with the East China Sea.
We went to go buy a ticket Shiliupu pier. The results of full-day tickets sold out. However, many ticket brokers. Their hands have a lot to vote! ! ! Prices have been pushed up very high! Later we were also deceived to spend 90 yuan to buy the original price was 47 yuan Sanxi votes. Also deceive us that there is a bed, temporary beds each one, there are 2 square meters. In fact, there is no seat of the vote. Recall also gas, that the people of Shanghai (Shanghai people may not be) harm to others and had too! ! But we also confused, actually all believe that people say, fares and selling of votes of the place is stuck to. (All my fault!!! Sorry) (not blaming you, but why hate those ticket brokers so no conscience, has been earning high profits, but also Kengren) were on board again pays for us to fill beds . Back to figure it out, we spent a first-class beds, and other money to buy four tickets. These boats were actually quite affordable, starting at 8 pm, more than 7 o'clock the next morning to. Can save some accommodation, but also saving time.
At noon had bought the tickets, there is a time for the afternoon to kill, we walk to the Bund bar. Afternoon to see the Bund, Bund under the sun. Shore on both sides of the different styles of architecture, people feel that Shanghai is really a diverse city! Of course, there are many, many, many people! ! We are slowly, walked the formal entrance to the Bund Park River at the end of the tunnel we have found over the other side. Nice! ! Immediately to the queue, over a very short time spent on the other side, but the inside shot in dazzling, it seems that the tunnel through time and space. But the humming is not only already arrived. We feel that there is time to decide on the Orient Pearl TV Tower. Our decisions so that we went through a painful process! ! On the "Oriental Ming Pig Tower" love to have hate! We are first in the sun, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower peripheral row lap (Fortunately, the team is moving, albeit slowly) then we have not health remorse. Has finally entered the door, but found that did not see the team at the end. Inside a dense mass of heads continued to row in a circuitous stainless steel railings to wait through the security gate. At this time we know that only the endless queues in front. Finally through the security door, and entered the lobby there are still found in the lobby can be a big circle around to the elevator. I was pressed for time, although we do not, but spend a few hours of queuing, it still felt uneconomical. Request a refund at that time was out, but still came back, and said polling should not retreat. Tickets are written on the day of really hard times for advance and retreat. Jin, I do not know but also how much time wasted waiting in a queue, the back Well, money does not retreat, in vain to spend 65 yuan, that can not be reconciled. Finally decided to sit firmly at the end of wear, as it has been routed to the on the. However, in that kind of environment servant become very upset. The result is more than two hours queuing up to spend more than 20 minutes and then tap a circle in the above stroll on down. We still buy the two tickets, only to go to a ball, or a loss of! ! I have always believed that responsible people are obliged to buy tickets at the time when the situation in visitors informed, so that visitors make their own choice, but did not. Would like to say love you is not easy to do - "Oriental Ming Pig Tower"! ! At night by boat! !
This boat ride to Mount Putuo can also watch the Huangpu River in Shanghai night, a pity that we do in order replacement ticket not in any mood to see, a waste! When the fill their votes, then we sat a little mood to the stern sat and looked at the waterfront of Huangpu River the night away! There in the dark a huge crane Shanghai. Then went to four other cabin rest. I have had some days in the sea life, sea, a kind of very special feeling, I like the sea! I would like to start before the boat out to sea, feel the ship slowly from the Yangtze River into the East China Sea, Chui Chui sea breeze! 23:00 more, I suddenly woke up, it seems to soon to sea the. I'm going to deck the! On the deck, strong winds, moonlight. Really fast out to sea, and the river is very wide of the! I am very pleased! ! I am a person standing upwind, (you're sleeping are fragrant!), Cool! I started not paying attention, the original and two were also in hair! ! We walk together, chatting about the! They are originally from Xi'an friends, they have a very clear character of the North - refreshed! We drink, smoke, because we are all longing for the sea had to sit in this boat! At that time first thing that strikes the event of bosom friend - really comfortable! ! I found out I will know more travel the same path, we all just do not know, and do not suspicion, because we all have the same goals accidentally come together, chat about various topics! This is what I like to travel out of one of the reasons. Suddenly they suggested to go back to the bow to a titanic plot! ! Interesting! I have to go. The original stand in the bow hair Gengshuang! !
Friday, May 4 (Mount Putuo)
Am almost 8 points to Putuo Mountain. A step is necessary to close the fare to 80 yuan / person. This brings me to the charging standards. How could these charges in the end, how much, what criteria it? (It is worth study). We first asked whether there the night of the tickets back to Shanghai, it has already sold out, but here are looking for ticket brokers did not, they are more willing you on that one night stay. 1 out of private rental housing to people who have been eyeing. We have seen, the environment is good, it set the! (300 / RMB a double room, 51 price, usually could not) to lay down their luggage, a brief rest, we went out. We tour the South China Sea Goddess of Mercy, France and the rain Temple, 1000-step sand. Ate the evening meal of seafood dishes (but not afraid of unsanitary, and to eat not much). Night, everyone is tired, and very long rest.
Saturday, May 5 (Hangzhou)
Up early, the weather suddenly changes, rain and wind. Originally, we wanted to take boats to the Shenjiamen, but because of bad weather, all the boats have been closed to open, we can only take slow boat to shenjiamen (Flower 30 minutes). By shenjiamen, wanted directly from the shenjiamen back to Shanghai, but the tickets they sold, and had by way of Hangzhou. Shenjiamen starting from 9:30, nearly 5 hours before to Hangzhou. Along the way see a lot of good scenery of the. That there are a lot of Hangzhou to Shanghai by car, but we also get the fastest car of the 6:45, because many people still leave 51 A! ! Also in Hangzhou, is not enough time to attractions, coupled with bad weather, we have only a few hours wandering the streets in Hangzhou. Hangzhou to Shanghai with Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed, so to go back soon, just two and a half hours, but there are accidents on the highway that night (by car to be careful A), so until almost 10:00 to Shanghai. That day we spent on the road a bit wasteful. If we can play in Hangzhou, a play on the better! We learned floor at night into the hostel.
May 6 Sunday (Shanghai)
The remaining time in Shanghai avoided. We walk around in the Xuhui Square, and began mopping souvenirs. Where there are many large shopping centers. At noon to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, to the City God Temple. City God Temple near a lot of snacks. Here you can keep hands, mouth non-stop! We ate Crab soup packets, Yakitori meat, Yakitori squid. Finished, I felt apart from things delicious snack was originally sold in Shanghai is also possible fortune! ! We also looked at the nearby cinema, "the courtyard of the woman", not a good look at a large, editing is not good, my wife and foreigners love development is very flat (you do remember the names?), I can not see between them On what basis can give them, as at the end of a meaningful but very boring. After dinner, we returned to Nanjing Road, Nanjing Road at night is more beautiful, neon lights flashing. Nanjing Road from the subway to the Jin Mao Tower. That is really a great building! However, a great fog, low visibility. Time of buying tickets and again we have the staff to explain the situation, (here with the treatment in the Orient Pearl TV Tower are very different). Because it is the last night in Shanghai, we decided to go up. To the top, floor, in the midst of the fog, only felt like heaven on the same. Perhaps not see another picture of Shanghai night. Have the opportunity to return. We are down and returned to Nanjing Road, the Bund on the way to go through the M in mind, like Chi Xuegao, but discovered that snoopy for the puppy is really powerful, and changed a make you especially excited. We spent the Bund Shanghai last night. Ps: Also there have been some things, but it seems that nothing happened! I still can not understand what is going on!
Monday, May 7 (Shanghai, Guangzhou)
Kentucky Fried Chicken, after eating breakfast the morning to go out to visit the Shanghai Grand Theater. White and transparent style of architecture do not have. School of noble appearance. You say really want to get into this home was also decorated the white. We are inside a very leisurely pace of the equal-time too. Then proceeded to the airport to fly back to Guangzhou in. End of the 7-day trip to Shanghai.
Summary:
I always thought that our itinerary, if in time of peace (not a national holiday it) is good, but because it is 51 holidays, accommodation and transportation, there are many complications, so I feel a kind of rush a sense of twists and turns (I think that tourism is a self-help Such a!!), there is also profoundly aware of the situation in China - a large population! If it is able to do so, advised not to trips on public holidays. Many attractions will be because many people lose their characteristics! There just do not want to sleep, do not at night lodging, or you can before booking.
