Direct subway access from Hangzhou! Haining 1-day tour guide

Compared to the hustle and bustle of downtown Hangzhou, I prefer to explore the charm of the surrounding small towns. This time, my friend and I took the subway to Haining. This unique town gave us quite a few surprises. Haining is not only home to the former residences of literary giants such as Xu Zhimo and Jin Yong, but also has a rich cultural heritage. It also has old streets and houses with a strong Republic of China style, and ancient Jiangnan buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, all of which show the charm of history. The famous Leather City is a great place to shop, and the ready-to-wear brand Snow Leopard, which has been around for more than 40 years, is of outstanding quality. 🚶🏻‍♂️Haining 1-day tour route Depart from Hangzhou and arrive at Haichang Road Subway Station in Haining, then go to Haining Museum (Lantern Museum is a must-see), Huili Temple, Xu Zhimo's Former Residence, Hengtou Street Historical and Cultural District, Kangqiao 1924 Cultural and Creative Island, and Nanguanxiang Historical and Cultural District, and finally Haining Leather City (Snow Leopard Store). ✅Must-see attractions in Haining 1️⃣Haining Museum 📅Closed on Mondays, no reservation required, open from 08:30 to 17:00. The museum not only displays artifacts from the Han and Song dynasties, showing the historical context of Haining, but also has a Lantern Museum on the second floor, which is both beautiful and photogenic. 2️⃣Xu Zhimo's Former Residence Here you can find traces of the great poet's life, and most of the buildings retain the style of the Republic of China. There are also many cultural and creative products and art installations based on Xu Zhimo's works, and the nearby Huili Temple is also worth a visit. 3️⃣Kangqiao 1924 Cultural and Creative Island A cultural and creative island full of retro industrial style, accessible by a bridge. The red brick walls on the island are a testament to Haining's industrial development in the past, and now it has become a place where art and fashion converge. 4️⃣Nanguanxiang Historical and Cultural District In the city of Haining, you can also enjoy the elegant charm of the Jiangnan water town. The street is not long, but it is full of historical traces. Especially near the Spring Festival, the streets are decorated with lanterns and streamers, full of festive atmosphere. 5️⃣Haining Leather City How can you miss it when you come to Haining? Its scale and modernization are amazing. I walked into Snow Leopard in Building A and was instantly conquered by the texture and details of the fur. I immediately made a video call to my mom to ask if she liked any of the styles. 🤗
