Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful scenery in Jiangnan. In addition to Hangzhou and Suzhou, Jiaxing in the south of the Yangtze River also has many famous tourist attractions. For example, the famous Wuzhen and the ancient town Tang Xi belong to Jiaxing. Of course, tickets to these famous ancient towns often cost hundreds of dollars. In fact, in addition to these famous scenic spots, Jiaxing also has a must-see 5A scenic spot, which can be visited for free. This is a red tourist attraction, and this is the South Lake in Jiaxing.
Jiaxing Nanhu Lake is located in the southeast of Jiaxing City, with a total area of about 5.86 square kilometers and a water area of about 624 mu. Compared with the West Lake in Hangzhou, it is much smaller, but the scenery is not bad. It, Hangzhou West Lake and Shaoxing East Lake are also called the three famous lakes in Zhejiang.
In addition, South Lake in Jiaxing is also a tourist attraction of the Red Revolution, and the first national congress of the China * * * Production Party was held here.
Jiaxing is formed by the confluence of canals. Wang's fourth son was appointed as the special envoy of China and Wu. After the guest house was built here, it gradually became a scenic spot, with Changshui Reservoir and Haiyan Reservoir above, Pinghu Reservoir and Changxian Reservoir below. The surrounding terrain is low and flat, with rivers and harbors criss-crossing and beautiful scenery.
The scenery of South Lake in Jiaxing is a bit like West Lake in Hangzhou. Some people think the scenery of South Lake is better. After all, there are not as many tourists as the West Lake, and Xianghu Lake in Hangzhou has a kind of tranquility.
Strictly speaking, Nanhu scenic spot is a "pseudo-nothing" scenic spot. You can walk along the shore of the lake without buying a ticket, but if you want to go to the island in the lake, you must buy a ticket. Tickets are around 50 yuan.
Although you can play around South Lake for free, Bian Xiao thinks it's not bad for foreign tourists to buy tickets for the first time. You can take this cruise ship into Huxin Island. Huxin Island is an ancient garden complex with misty rain tower as the main body, pavilions, rockeries and cloisters as one. It is a typical Jiangnan garden. And you can go to other scenic spots by boat many times.
After going to Huxin Island, you can take a boat to Wuxiang Temple. The moat tower here can climb to the seventh floor of the highest floor and have a panoramic view. Finally, you can go to Yuehe by boat, where there are bar street, flower and bird market, Zongzi Culture Museum Yuehe Inn and some small shops to visit. I can finally go back by boat.
The whole scenic spot of Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing is very small. It takes about an hour to walk around the lake. If you take a cruise, you can also go shopping in about two hours. In fact, personally, if you are not in a hurry, staying in Nanhu is the most comfortable.
There is a Fanli Lake Park near Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, which is not bad either. According to legend, after helping Gou Jian, the king of Yue, he went boating with his teacher and lived in seclusion in the five lakes.
There are many famous calligraphy works in Fan Li Lake, including Wen Zhiming's "Fu Bi" and other stone carvings, Fang Shengchi in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Bailey in Chi Guo and so on. If you are not happy after visiting the South Lake in Jiaxing, it is also a good choice to go to Fanli Lake.
