Who understands, my family! After three years of living in Hangzhou, I thought a 38 yuan latte was the norm. Then, back in the village for a three-day stay, my mom's back-pedaling made me question my life... This "Spending Restructuring Guide" is perfect for those who want to save money! 🔒 1️⃣ Budget: My old self vs. my new self—the contrast is outrageous! • Daily life in Hangzhou: Subway commuting + coffee = 50+ yuan/day, and I order whatever I want for takeout without checking the discounts. • Current situation back in the village: My mom takes me all over the neighborhood on her electric scooter, saving me gas! Breakfast is 3 yuan for tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, and I can even get a bunch of green onions for bargaining with vendors. 🌱 • The key: When I told my family I wanted to live a frugal life, my mom immediately closed my Alipay credit. Spending cash hurts, so I learned to be frugal! 2️⃣ Recommended attractions: Free is the real deal! Less crowded, more picturesque, and more photogenic. Forget the crowds at the Broken Bridge at West Lake! Enjoy these lesser-known spots nearby: • Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park: Take a free shuttle bus to explore the rice paddies. The autumnal yellow wheat ears are so soothing, and you can take pictures of ancient times without filters 📸 (Tip: Book your free tickets in advance on the WeChat official account, and bring a picnic mat so you can relax all afternoon.) • Xixi Wetland Green Embankment: On weekdays, the crowds are so low you can hear the birds singing. Walk along the wooden boardwalk to admire the reeds, and when you're tired, sit on the shore and watch the rowboats go by—more relaxing than a paid cruise 🌿 • Qiantang River Trail: Go in the evening to enjoy the river breeze and watch the sunset. You might even run into a man selling cotton candy. The 5 yuan price is incredibly sweet, and it's much better than the popular dessert shops in Hangzhou! 3️⃣ Tour Itinerary: 3-Day, 2-Night "Anti-Special Forces" Shootout! Super comfortable with no rush. Day 1: Morning: Return to the village for rest → Afternoon: Go vegetable picking with my mom (a truly enjoyable experience!) → Evening: Stroll through the old street at the village entrance. Day 2: Liangzhu Ancient City + Pingyao Old Street (The sugar paintings and dough figurines in the old street are childhood memories; a 10-yuan sugar painting is enough to keep you entertained all day long.) Day 3: Xixi Wetland Green Embankment → Watch the sunset by the Qiantang River → Evening: Home-cooked meal with family (Key: Let your family be your guides—no need for a guidebook, and you won't get lost!) ✨ Key Point: Don't overpack your itinerary. Walking back to the village is key! Walking is more comfortable than taking a taxi, and chatting is more meaningful than checking in. 4️⃣ Food Recommendation: 100 yuan to fill up three people! Hangzhou residents are envious. • Breakfast must-try: Aunt Zhang's tofu pudding and chive dumplings at the village entrance. The tofu pudding is freshly ground, and the dumplings are so crispy they fall apart right out of the pan. 3 yuan is enough to fill you up. • Lunch recommendation: Go to "Old Lady's Noodle Shop" in town with my mom. Pork sparerib noodles and a poached egg are only 15 yuan. The spareribs are bigger than my face! The broth is bone broth, so delicious you'll want to lick the bowl! 🍜 • Dinner secret: Have my dad catch small fish from the river, coat them in flour, fry them, and stir-fry some home-grown vegetables. It costs less than 20 yuan and is even more delicious than the private restaurants in Hangzhou that cost 200 yuan per person! • Don't trust the "internet-famous snacks" at the entrance to scenic spots. They're expensive and not very tasty. Follow the locals and explore the alleys for a surefire way to get there. Now when I go back to Hangzhou and see milk tea for 30 yuan or more, I instinctively reach for my wallet! It turns out it's not that life has to cost a lot of money, it's that I've been conditioned by consumerism for too long... 😭 If you guys want to cool down your spending habits, you could definitely go back to the area and stay for a few days. It's more effective than reading 100 money-saving guides! #SceneryOnTheRoad #MostCommentedOnSpots #PhotoGuideToScenicAttractions #HotelAddicted #ChangshaNightMarketFun

🌸[Recommended Route] Day 1: Tonglu Station → Tongluren (Sunshine Garden) → OMG Heartbeat Paradise → Guanghefeng·ROOF Hot Spring Country Inn (OMG Heartbeat Paradise) Day 2: Lao Taipo Restaurant (Zhaoxia) → Shishe Village → Maoping Village → Fangyukong Countryside Capsule Bookstore → Luci Village → Luci Baiyun Creekside B&B Day 3: Yaoji Noodle House (Yaolin Road) → Fuchun River → Tonglu Station 🚗[Transportation Guide] Tonglu High-Speed Rail arrives at Tonglu Station. Locals recommend renting a car. OMG Park, Shishe Village, and the county center are all approximately a 30-minute drive away. 🏠[Accommodation Guide] Homestays are a top choice in Tonglu. We recommend staying near Luci Village, conveniently located between OMG Park, the county center, and Shishe Village. There are a variety of dining and accommodation options, and the proximity to mountain streams makes river trekking very convenient. 🔥[Attraction Guide] 1. Visit OMG Heartbeat Park in September for the best value. To be honest, the 300+ yuan ticket price is quite high, and the long queues and one-time access to each attraction during the summer vacation make it a poor value. ‼ ️ However, visiting in September not only avoids long lines, but also offers unlimited access to attractions. Rafting is also a must-do. Both the Sky Coaster and rafting are must-dos. 2. Shishe Village is the top choice for river trekking. Shishe Village, Luci Village, and Maoping Village are located on the same route. We recommend visiting Shishe Village first and then heading back. Shishe Village is very small, but the water is the clearest and relatively shallow, making it perfect for children to enjoy river trekking. You can also walk the Maling Ancient Trail. For river trekking in Luci Village, I recommend choosing a homestay with its own stream nearby; it's also very nice. 3️⃣ Explore the capsule hotels at Fangyukong Capsule Bookstore I thought it was just a pretty bookstore, but it turned out to be a whole other world! The second and third floors of the bookstore are all capsule hotels, and they open for 15-minute tours every hour. Be sure to time your visit accordingly. 🍰 [Food Tips] 1️⃣ Fellow travelers: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! Every dish was a hit! Mandarin fish in rice soup, tofu, peppery fish maw, and fairy chicken are all delicious, making them a top choice for Tonglu cuisine. 2️⃣ Yaoji Noodle House: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recommend the pork liver noodles. The liver is stir-fried to perfection and tender, and the noodles are chewy. The rich, rich sauce is absolutely delicious. 3️⃣ Old Lady Restaurant: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The value is excellent. The braised duck is delicious, and the dishes are all authentic, though a bit salty. Those with a light palate might prefer Tonglu Ren. #Places most asked about on WeChat Moments #Where to go this weekend #Ancient Towns and Villages Worth Visiting #Have Fun with Friends #Where to Go Summer Vacation
