A working-class paradise! Explore the hidden gems of Jiangnan for just 500 RMB! This two-day, one-night itinerary for Songyang and Wuzhen is a must-have – perfect for a weekend getaway without taking time off work! 🚌Itinerary DAY 1: Exploring Ancient Villages in Songyang 📍Yangjiatang Village: Free admission! The title "Jiangnan's Last Hidden Gem" is well-deserved, with its magnificent golden old houses stacked upon each other. Navigate to Yangjiatang Village, Sandu Township, Songyang County. Arrive before 9 AM to avoid tour groups. 📍Chenjiapu Village: A must-visit for artsy types! The village's converted "Pioneer Bookstore" is arguably the most beautiful rural bookstore, a photographer's paradise! (Chenjiapu Village, Sidu Township, Songyang County) 📍Songyang Old Town: A must-visit on Nanzhi Street! Ming and Qing dynasty architecture paired with authentic local snacks – enjoy dishes like tofu puffs and lantern-shaped plates for around 15 RMB per person! DAY 2: Wuzhen: A picturesque town to explore! 📍Dongzha: 110 RMB admission. The least crowded time is right when it opens at 8 AM! Recommended spots to visit: Blue Calico Workshop and Lin Family Shop – filming locations for the TV series "Like Water Flowing Years"! 📍Xizha: It's best to enter around 4 PM to see the stunning sunset reflected on the river. Don't miss the nighttime rowing boat tour (60 RMB/person); the lights reflected on the water are incredibly dreamy. 📍Mu Xin Art Museum: Located within Xizha, a separate 20 RMB ticket is required, but it's well worth it! Minimalist architecture paired with artistic exhibits—every snapshot is Instagram-worthy! 💰Money-Saving Tips 1. Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Lishui Station (1.5 hours from Hangzhou), then transfer to a bus to Songyang. The whole trip costs less than 200 RMB. For the return trip from Wuzhen, you can take a direct tourist bus to Hangzhou. 2. Accommodation: In Songyang, it's recommended to stay in a chain hotel in the county town, around 100+ RMB per night. In Wuzhen, choose a guesthouse outside the scenic area; it's half the price of those inside. 3. Food: In Songyang, snacks are all-you-can-eat for 30 RMB per person. In Wuzhen, I recommend Momo's Home (Xizha Old Shop)—the local chicken soup is incredibly delicious, and a meal for two costs around 100 RMB. Outfit Suggestion: A light-colored cotton or linen long dress + straw bag—it matches the blue brick and gray tile roof perfectly! Remember to bring an oil-paper umbrella as a prop; it'll really enhance the atmosphere for photos on a rainy day! A quick shout-out to the old banyan tree in Yangjiatang Village! Sitting under it, daydreaming, on an afternoon like that cured my work anxiety from the entire quarter. #BudgetTravelGuide #JiangnanWaterTowns #WeekendGetaways #AncientVillageVisits #SpecialForcesTravel

There was a time when we all longed for a spontaneous solo adventure. These three small towns are my own hidden gems, created after traveling across China. Quiet yet not lonely, rustic yet full of charm, they're perfect for those seeking a temporary escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. --- 🌿 Anhui · Lu Village: A Woodcarving Kingdom Forgotten by Time Just 2 kilometers from Hongcun, it feels like stepping into another time and space. Here, mornings are free from the hustle and bustle of tourists, only the gurgling of streams and the chirping of birds. 🚶 Solo Itinerary: · 6:00 AM: Climb to the observation deck behind the village and watch the morning mist shroud the village like a veil. The horse-head wall looms through the mist, a painting perfect for early risers. · 9:00 AM: Stroll to Zhicheng Hall and have a local elder explain the story of woodcarving (20 yuan). Every door and window is engraved with a complete story, a place where time is meticulously crafted. · 2:00 PM: Brew a pot of Huangshan Maofeng tea under an ancient tree by the stream. Watching ducks play in the water and old cows stroll, even daydreaming becomes poetic. · 5:00 PM: Join the villagers in the vegetable fields to harvest. Prepare a farmhouse meal using the freshest ingredients, the fire radiating on faces and warming hearts. 🏡 Accommodation Recommendation: Single room in "Lu Family Courtyard", 80 yuan/night. Open the wooden window to the stream, and fall asleep to the sound of the water. 💡 Solo Traveler Tips: · Take the shuttle bus from Huangshan North Station to Hongcun, then a 10-minute taxi ride. · The pickled mustard greens cakes at the village entrance grocery store, 2 yuan each, are the perfect snack for hiking. --- 🏮 Zhejiang · Xinshi Ancient Town: The aroma of century-old tea by the canal Compared to Wuzhen, this place feels more like a living Jiangnan. There's no entrance fee, no shops, only locals who continue to live their centuries-old lives. 🚶 Solo Itinerary: · 7:00 AM: Sit by the window at the Xiantan Old Teahouse. For 3 yuan a cup of green tea, watch the old street awaken in the morning light. Most of the tea drinkers are elderly neighbors, and listening to them chat in Wu dialect is more soothing than any ASMR. · 10:00 AM: Stroll along the canal. Count the stone bridges from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and look for women washing clothes at the riverside. Every bridge here has a gentle name. · 2:00 PM: Sit quietly under the ginkgo trees at Juehai Zen Temple. Autumn's golden leaves blanket the ground, spring's fresh green fills the branches, and the four seasons cycle here is remarkably distinct. · 5:00 PM: Enjoy a bowl of authentic mutton noodles. The mutton, stewed in rice wine, is tender and flavorful. The price, 35 yuan, hasn't changed in ten years. 🏡 Recommended Accommodation: "Yunhe Yizhan" Waterfront Room, 120 yuan/night. At night, lanterns reflected in the water are unreal and beautiful. 💡 Solo Traveler Tips: · There's a direct bus from Hangzhou Passenger Transport Center, arriving in 1.5 hours. · Be sure to try the tea cakes from Lin's Shop; they're best fresh from the oven early in the morning. --- 🌊 Fujian · Yushan Island: A Lonely Romance Between Mountains and Sea While everyone flocks to Xiapu, this island town retains its original tranquility. Here, you can experience grassland, lake, and sea all at once. 🚶 Solo Travel Itinerary: · 5:30 AM: Wait for sunrise at Tianhu Grassland. As the sun leaps out of the water, painting the entire grassland golden, you'll understand the true meaning of "mountain and sea wonders." · 9:00 AM: Hike the island's circular path. Pass abandoned stone houses and watch the waves crash on the cliffs. The sea breeze will wash away all your worries. · 2:00 PM: Relax at Moon Bay. This beach is practically deserted, perfect for listening to the crashing waves and reading a book you've always wanted to read. · 5:00 PM: Join the fishermen as they collect their nets. Buy freshly landed seafood and have the owner steam it. This simplest cooking method truly captures the ocean's bounty. 🏡 Accommodation Recommendation: "Island Home" Ocean View Room, 150 RMB/night. The owner will thoughtfully prepare ginger tea for a late-night snack. 💡 Solo Traveler Tips: · Take a shuttle bus from Xiapu Railway Station to Sansha Pier, then take a boat to the island. · Remember to bring sun protection clothing, as the island's ultraviolet rays are intense. --- 💭 Solo Travel Reflections That evening in Lu Village, I met an old craftsman carving doors and windows. He said, "Young man, slow down. Wood has its own temperament; don't rush it." At that moment, I suddenly realized that we're always rushing to get where we are, forgetting that life requires meticulous care. In a teahouse in Xinshi Ancient Town, a ninety-year-old tea drinker told me he'd been drinking morning tea there for seventy years. "Life is like this tea, light and flavorful." These small towns taught me not only how to be alone, but also how to have a deep conversation with my inner self. When you learn to enjoy solitude, the whole world becomes gentler. --- 🎒 Solo Travel Gear List · A good book · Portable tea set · Sunscreen · Common medications · An open mind --- 💰 Budget Guide (4 days, 3 nights) Lu Village: Accommodation 240, Food 150, Transportation 100 = 490 RMB Xinshi: Accommodation 360, Food 120, Transportation 80 = 560 RMB Yishan Island: Accommodation 450, Food 200, Transportation 150 = 800 RMB Where was your last solo trip?
