Taihu Ancient Town is an artificial ancient-style cultural tourism complex within the Taihu Longemont Paradise. Its core highlights are its nighttime scenery and performances, offering a one-stop shop for shopping, dining, and entertainment. This guide will help you make the most of your visit: 1. Must-See Highlights: The water dance show on the central lake is spectacular, with 1-2 free shows each night. The 9 PM show often connects to a fireworks display. Every Saturday at 9:27 PM, there's an 8-minute fireworks show at Wenchang Pavilion Square, featuring spectacular multi-directional bursts of sparks. You can climb the Wanfo Pagoda for panoramic views; the pagoda is illuminated by dazzling lights at night. Climbing the pagoda costs 20 yuan per person. You can also take a nighttime boat ride on the waterways, where the boatwomen occasionally sing Jiangnan folk songs, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Additionally, there's an ancient-style parade at the Twelve Zodiac Square, and the Tea and Salt Ancient Street is perfect for taking photos in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). 2. Local Delicacies: Be sure to try the "Three Whites of Taihu Lake" (white shrimp, whitebait, and silverfish), which are sweet and tender. For snacks, you can choose Grandma's Begonia Cake, a caramelized crispy shell filled with red bean paste; there are also traditional flavors like Dingsheng Cake and Osmanthus Fermented Rice Balls. The Qing Shiban Food Street and Yanhuo Alley are concentrated areas for snacks, and you can eat your fill for around 50 yuan. If you want a proper meal, try the Taihu Bighead Carp at Taihu Renjia Restaurant. 3. Practical Tips: For transportation, navigate to "Taihu Ancient Town Parking Lot" (parking fee 20 yuan/time); from Huzhou Station by high-speed rail, it's a 25-minute taxi ride. The main street of the ancient town is free, but the "Drunken Beauty of Taihu Lake" song and dance show and the VR experience hall require separate tickets. It's recommended to enter the park after 4 pm to enjoy the food, photos, and seamlessly connect with the night view and performances. It can get cool by the lake at night, so remember to bring a light jacket.

Here's a two-day travel guide for Huzhou and its surrounding areas, perfect for winter, including details on public transportation transfers and winter clothing suggestions: 🌊 Day 1: Huzhou Main City + Taihu Lake Coastal Area - 🕘 Morning: Visit Taihu Longemont Park.

It's not that you can't afford Qingdao! A Hangzhou trip in October is the real deal! 👑 Who knows! Avoid Qingdao's overpriced seafood and crowded beaches in October and experience the sheer joy of Hangzhou! Enjoy the warm 20°C autumn sun, free or low-priced attractions like West Lake and Lingyin Temple, stay in a West Lake-side B&B for over 150 yuan per person, and a bowl of Sichuan cuisine for just 12 yuan. Students and budget travelers, just go for it! 🍂 Let's get this straight: What makes Hangzhou so special in October? - ✅ Wallet-friendly: Qingdao's average ocean-view B&B in October is over 400 yuan, while Hangzhou's Old Town offers Jiangnan-style B&Bs with small balconies for just 150-200 yuan. Qingdao's seafood stalls cost over 150 yuan per person, while Hangzhou's alleyways offer all-you-can-eat Hangzhou cuisine for just 60 yuan per person. A three-day trip can easily be had for over 500 yuan per person! ✅ Fewer Crowds, More Stunning Views: Avoid the crowds at Qingdao's Pier and enjoy the early morning mist of West Lake's Su Causeway. The sweet osmanthus flowers of Manjuelong are just beginning to bloom, filling the air with their sweet fragrance. Capture the autumn vibe without dodging passersby! ✅ Autumn is Perfect: Unlike the cool sea breeze of Qingdao, Hangzhou in October is just the right time to wear a light sweatshirt and jeans. Daytime strolls around West Lake and Longjing Village are both dry and warm, and the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. It's truly "so relaxing you won't want to leave!" 🚶 3-Day, 2-Night Itinerary: Classic + Unconventional, No-Failures Day 1: Wander West Lake, Embrace the Poetic Jiangnan Scene 🌅 Morning: Head to the Broken Bridge (free!).

The bamboo shoots are so fresh they'll make your eyebrows drop. For just 15 yuan per person, you can eat until you're full.

Climb to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Island and find the "Three Pools" sign, which is the same as the RMB. Watch the plane trees on both sides of the river just starting to turn yellow during the cruise – so relaxing! 🌃 Evening: Explore Hefang Street. Don't buy expensive food! Have some Dingsheng cake (5 yuan each) and scallion-wrapped cypress (8 yuan each), and watch the street candy figurines being made. It's much more relaxing than squeezing through the light show at Qingdao's May Fourth Square! Day 2: Lingyin Zen · Unlock the Aromas of Autumn - 🕌 Morning: Visit Lingyin Temple (admission 45 RMB/person, including Feilai Peak). Before entering, buy a string of 18-seed tea leaves (46 RMB) at the temple entrance. It's a great way to pray and enjoy the scenery. Walking through the ancient temple grounds, listening to the bells, you'll find a calming, even more Zen-like atmosphere than the churches in Qingdao! - 🍲 Lunch: Enjoy a vegetarian meal at Lingyin Temple Vegetarian Restaurant. Order a plate of vegetarian chicken noodles with a side of cold black fungus salad. It's light and flavorful, and at 30 RMB per person, it's a far better value than the overpriced fast food restaurants in the scenic area! - 🍂 Afternoon: Visit Manjuelong (free!). In October, the osmanthus flowers are just blooming, filling the entire street with their fragrance. Find a teahouse to sit for a while and order a cup of Osmanthus Longjing tea (30 RMB).

Enjoy the night view of West Lake and fall asleep to the chirping of insects. It's much quieter than Qingdao's seaside hotels! Day 3: Longjing Slow Life and Experience the Liveliness of the Tea Village 🌱 Morning: Head to Longjing Village (free!). Rent an electric scooter (30 yuan/day) and ride through the tea fields, admiring the layers of tea trees. Buy fresh tea from farmers (remember to bargain; 50 yuan per person gets you a small can). It's much cheaper than Qingdao's specialty shops! 🥟 Lunch: Dine at the "Farmer's Restaurant" in Longjing Village. Order a plate of Longjing shrimp and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. The shrimp are fragrant with tea. For 60 yuan per person, it's cheaper and fresher than Qingdao's seafood stalls! 📸 Afternoon: Visit the China National Tea Museum (Longjing Section) (free!), learn about the history of tea, and take artistic photos with the tea fields as a backdrop. When you're tired, relax on a bench outside to bask in the sun—much more relaxing than shopping! 🧳 Evening: Before returning, head to the Wulin Night Market to buy souvenirs. Osmanthus cakes for 10 yuan/bag and West Lake lotus root starch for 20 yuan/box are both affordable and practical, and much easier to bring than the dried seafood in Qingdao! 🍜 Local's Secret: Tips for Eating a Full Meal Under 20 Yuan 1.

Xinfeng Snacks: Shrimp Meat Dumplings (12 Yuan/basket), Thin Wraps, Juicy Filling 📝 Must-Read Before You Go: Tips to Avoid Pitfalls and Save Money - ❌ Don't follow the "unofficial guides" near West Lake! They'll take you to overpriced shopping malls. Explore on your own for more freedom. - ✅ For transportation, choose Hangzhou East Station. It's closer to the city center than Hangzhou Station, and a taxi to West Lake is only 25 Yuan. - ❌ Don't buy water in the West Lake scenic area! 2 yuan at a convenience store, 5 yuan at a scenic spot. - ✅ Book Lingyin Temple and West Lake cruises in advance on "Hangzhou Local Treasures" to avoid lines. - ❌ Don't wear high heels! Wear comfortable sneakers for visiting West Lake and Longjing Village. October in Hangzhou offers a Jiangnan-inspired charm not found in Qingdao, while also making the most of your money. No need to crowd or wait, just relax and savor the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and the scenery of West Lake. Would you like me to compile a "Hangzhou Osmanthus Check-in Map" for you? It includes the best osmanthus viewing spots and photo angles, including Manjuelong and Longjing Village, to help you capture the beauty of autumn's fragrant osmanthus. #HangzhouTravelGuide #HangzhouWestLake #HangzhouTravel #HowToHangzhou
