When you come to Hangzhou, don’t just visit the West Lake. There is a thousand-year-old ancient city that is even better to visit.
Compared to the West Lake which is usually crowded, families coming to Hangzhou on May Day who want to avoid the crowds and experience the real life of people in the south of the Yangtze River are recommended to spend 2 days and 1 night to visit the thousand-year-old town "Yanzhou Ancient City" with a history of 1,800 years, experience the slow life of the south of the Yangtze River, and then go to the "Da Ci Rock" with a history of more than 700 years, one of the three famous mountains in western Zhejiang, visit the Hanging Temple in Zhejiang, and worship the golden two-faced Buddha in the fairyland! ! !
The complete guide for two days and one night is here for you. Just follow it if you want to go~
