Huaian | June-July low season is really cheap to come, few people and beautiful scenery!

| June-July low season is really cheap, less people and beautiful scenery! 📍Geographical location: Northern Jiangsu Province, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the city, the "Canal Capital of China", the intersection of northern and southern cuisine. Historical background: the hometown of Chu overlord, the birthplace of Huaiyang cuisine, the former residence of Premier Zhou Enlai. 🔥Features: Few tourists in the off-season, affordable prices, and you can enjoy the tranquil scenery of the Millennium Canal! -----------------------                                   。 🌞June-July Huaian Tourism Features (Reverse Strategy Core) ✅ Few people and quiet: avoid the National Day / Spring Festival peak, the scenic area is empty suitable for photography and walk. ✅ Cost as low as 50% off: air tickets / hotel prices halved, lobster prices fall, food more affordable! ✅ Avoid high temperature and heat: morning and evening temperature difference, canal breeze cool breeze, at noon can enter the teahouse to escape the heat. ⚠️ Note: There may be occasional heavy rains at the end of June, so bring a jacket and umbrella. -----------------------                                   。 🚆 Transportation Guide ✈️ Direct access by high-speed rail: Nanjing 1 hour, Xuzhou 1.5 hours, Shanghai 2.5 hours (Huaian East Station / Huaian Station), high-speed rail station directly to the city attractions. 🚗Driving route: Beijing-Shanghai Expressway/Chang-Shenzhen Expressway, 3 hours to surrounding cities. 🚇 Transportation in the city: Bus / Didi mainly, recommended to take a taxi (cheap fare, about 8-15 dollars per person one way). -----------------------                                   。 🌿3 days 2 nights itinerary planning Day1: Canal Culture + History Crossing 🌅 Morning: China's North and South Geographical Divide Line Sign Park (free! Feel the magic of "Huainan Huaibei") → Huaian District Old Street (Antique Ming and Qing architecture, buy Huaicheng tea as a snack) 🌇Afternoon: Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall (free! solemn and design) → Hexia Ancient Town (avoid peak season tourists, enjoy the bluestone slab road and famous people's former residences) 🌙 Evening: Night tour of the Li Canal Cultural Promenade (take a boat to see the light show, milk tea shops along the coast can sit by the canal) Day2: Natural scenery + food spree 🌤️ Morning: White Horse Lake Wetland Park ($50, clear lake water, you can bike/boat to avoid weekend crowds) 🍴Noon: Xuyi Lobster Street (recommended off-season must-eat! $40 per person to eat to your heart's content, choose a shop with a business license) 🌇Afternoon: Meicheng Hometown Scenic Area (Han Dynasty style garden, beautiful photos, buy cabbage to take home) 🌙 Evening: Eco-Cultural Tourism Area Night Market (online red tea drink + local snacks, must try Wenlou soup pack) Day3: Idyllic slow life + specialty experiences 🌿 Morning: Qing Yan Garden (Ming and Qing gardens, few people suitable for daze, tickets 25 dollars) → Tea Experience Hall (handmade Huaiyang refreshments) 🍲 Noon: Xu Kee Wonton (Ranshui County specialty, fresh meat wonton with shrimp seed sauce) 🌅 Afternoon: Huanghua Beach Leisure Agriculture Park (idyllic picking + farmhouse lunch, recommended chicken soup) -----------------------                                   。 🍜 Top 5 must-eat delicacies 1. Huaian Lobster (Low prices in June-July, recommended dipping version, avoid pitfalls: choose daytime shops, avoid roadside stalls!) 2. Pu Cai barbecue (Huaian seasonal vegetables, crispy, tender and sweet) 3. Man Lou Soup Pack (the ancestor of "the first floor in the world", thin skin and juicy, Cao Yun Plaza shop) 4. Lotus root rice dumplings (dessert under the ancient city wall, smoky and not greasy) 5. Tea 饊 (fried crispy dim sum, great as a souvenir) -----------------------                                   。 🛏️ Accommodation recommendations ✅ Value for money: Jinlinghua Fr Hotel (by the canal, including breakfast 200+) ✅ Literary and artistic style: Qinglindu B&B (old house renovation, private hot spring) ✅ Economy: Hanting / 7 days chain (near the train station, convenient to travel) -----------------------                                   。 💡 Guide to avoiding pitfalls ⚠️ After the end of the lobster peak season (after July), individual restaurants may use frozen lobster to recharge, be sure to ask the current catch ratio! ⚠️ There are more mosquitoes by the canal, prepare mosquito repellent (Huai'an specialty six gods toilet water can be emergency). ⚠️ The hygiene of street snacks varies, it is recommended to go to chain stores or shops recommended by visitor centers. -----------------------                                   。 📌 “Avoid the crowds and experience the slow life of the 'Canal Capital' at half price! Here, a bowl of soup packets hides the flavor of thousands of years, a painted boat shatters the lanterns of thousands of families, Huaian is the reverse treasure land that knows how to live the most in summer.” 👇 Let me know the moment you want to go to Huaian in the comments section, draw 3 people to get a lobster experience voucher! -----------------------                                   。 📌 Follow me to unlock more niche travel destinations!
