Always a fan of small, smoky towns, places like Phoenix, Pingyao and Quanzhou, which were once super-niche, are now becoming commercialized. Luckily, China has many such destinations. For example, Linhai, which Pony is sharing today, is one of the smaller ancient towns in China. In addition, it is adjacent to the sea, so it November is a good climate for traveling and the weather is not cold.
I. Pony's impression of the sea:
The first impression of Linhai began a few years ago. Inadvertently opened a magazine and saw a paragraph describing the city, simple and ordinary. Wandering around the old Ming and Qing streets, walking through the long alleys, looking for authentic food. If I go there in person, I will live up to my desire for fireworks. After coming to Linhai twice, I love this city even more, because those old streets without commercial atmosphere, those unique Taizhou flavor snacks, those centuries-old city walls that have been lying dormant, and those hidden in the streets and alleys of the atmosphere of life will always be fresh in my mind.
Two, Xiaoma why recommend November to travel to Linhai:
1. It is not quiet t without much commercial atmosphere: compared to other ancient cities in the province, the tourist atmosphere here is not so strong, and there are very few commercial stores, you can spend less money to play more attractions.
2. Linhai is the fifth ancient city in Zhejiang Province to be selected as a National Famous Historical and Cultural City, and the only county-level city in Zhejiang Province on the list. Since the Tang Dynasty, Linhai has been the seat of Taizhou Prefecture, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was even subordinate to it, generally referring to the area near the capital. This shows that the former Linhai has always had a special position in history, and there are still many monuments hidden in the world.
3. Like Quanzhou and Chaozhou, I personally feel that Linhai is also a city where you can just walk around for the sake of food, and the food here has not been completely replicated in other cities, so you can only eat here, the number of which reaches more than 100 kinds.
Third, the tourist itinerary, that is, traveling on the beach.
As a non-clichéd tourist city, Linhai doesn't seem to have many attractions, but as a historical and cultural city, it's more than appropriate to spend 2-3 days hitting the monuments that are hidden in the streets and alleys.
D1:Shanghai or Hangzhou-Linhai.
D2:Linhai city one day tour (Ziyang Ancient Street, exhibition hall of People s Bank of China Taizhou Branch, Longxing Temple, Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Ancient City Gate, Old Street visit)
D3:Linhai Ancient City half day tour (spend half a day to visit Linhai Ancient Great Wall), return.
Four, the breakdown of the itinerary and what are the highlights?
Ziyang Ancient Street
Recommended Pony Index: four stars
Have always had a strong plot for the old streets of ancient towns, but after seeing most of the ancient, renovated ancient streets, the old streets of ancient towns are becoming more and more disappointed. But by the sea Ziyang Ancient Street still have locals living, stores are mostly used by locals, so it is still a wonder in the ancient streets.
You can focus on the five squares of Ziyang Old Street: Wuzhen Square, Fengxian Square, Yingxian Square, Qinghe Square and Yongjing Square. Of course, Ziyang Old Street also hides a lot of food. The focus can also be egg white sheep's tail, seaweed cake, shrimp bubble, it is worth to hit the card.
Longxing Temple
Pony Recommendation Index: four and a half stars (would have given three and a half stars, but because there is a real antique thousand pagodas, so give an extra star)
This place is an important place for the activities of Buddhist Tiantai Sect, and has a very long history. It is said to have been built during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, which means it has a history of more than 1,200 years. However, today s Longxing Temple looks new and should have been built at a later stage. But what? There are still a lot of ancient objects if you want to see them. For example, there are four ancient trees over 100 years old planted on the north and south sides of Bangsheng Pond.
Of course, the oldest part of Longxing Temple is the Thousand Buddha Pagoda at the back of the temple, built in 1299, the third year of the Yuan Dynasty. There is a statue of Buddha on each side of the pagoda, and there are 1,003 pagodas carved from the second floor to the seventh floor***. The carving technique is amazing and worth seeing.
Ancient City
Recommended Pony Index: four stars
As you can see from the map of Taizhou Ancient City, there are seven city gates hidden in the ancient city, with a wide wall at the bottom and a narrow wall at the top, in the shape of a trapezoid. They are, respectively, the East Chonghe Gate; the South Xingshan Gate and Zhenning Gate; the Southeast Jingyue Gate; the Southwest Fengtai Gate; and the West is surrounded by Cangmen and Chaotianmen. Still worth seeing today are Xingshanmen, Zhenningmen and Jingyuemen. Because Xingmen and Chonghemen are located at the southernmost end of Ziyang Street, they look like the most internet famous people and are favorite places for tourists to hit. If you like ethnic minorities, then Zhenningmen and Mirror Moon Gate are more suitable, especially Zhenningmen looks small, so what? The most primitive and marketable life. Comparatively speaking, Chaotianmen is so new that it doesn't look at all eccentric. If you're in a hurry, you don't have to not need to clock in.
Warm tips: it is recommended to walk from Apricot Hill Gate to Apricot Hill Gate, there are not many old streets along the way.
Jiangnan Ancient Great Wall
Recommended Pony Index: four stars
When it comes to the most famous attraction along the coast, it has to be the Jiangnan Ancient Great Wall. It is a wall about 4 kilometers long, with East Lake on one side and Chonghemen Square of Longxing Temple on the other. Standing on the wall, you can have a panoramic view of the seaside city, with old and new ancient buildings alternating, showing the modernization and antiquity of the coastal area. Although it is not as lofty as the Great Wall in Beijing, it carries the delicacy of Jiangnan, and I personally suggest it is worth a visit.
East Lake
Recommended Pony Index: two stars
Seemingly, the name is comparable to West Lake, but it is actually a city park. However, if you study carefully, you will find that the history of this East Lake is not short. In the fourth year of Xining of the Northern Song Dynasty (1071), the county magistrate Qian Xuan presided over the excavation. Personally, I think itit' suitable for clocking in to work. If you look closely, it feels very ordinary. But if I stand on the Taizhou city wall overlooking the East Lake, I I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised, especially for tourists from the north. The small bridge and water will make you happy.
Walking the Streets and Alleys
Recommended Pony Index: four stars
In fact, when I'm at the beach, my personal favorite way to get around is to walk through the streets and alleys of the old town, which are named after famous people, such as ZiYang Street, Aurora Street, WenQing Street, Liudun Street and LeiMing Street. Streets and alleys named after numbers include Yidongtian, Sanjing Lane, Santaifang, Sandifu, Wushe Lane, Jiuqu Lane and Shisan Lane. Streets and alleys named after family names are Zhao Alley, Deng Alley, Zhao Alley and Yang Alley. Streets named after commercial atmosphere, Zhu Ying Alley, Luo Yi Street, Geng Shop Alley, Sugar Selling Alley, Wine Selling Alley, etc. Doesn't it look interesting? So you don't don't need to know in advance, you can come across these special and quaint streets.
Each street has been given a meaning of coastal characteristics, making the old town look more dynamic. For thousands of years, people from the coastal area have lived, died and married here.
5. What's the best food you can have on the waterfront that you can't miss?
As an ancient city by the mountains and the sea, it is rich in produce and the locals have created many delicacies. It is said that you can taste more than 100 kinds of authentic food in this seaside city. As a first time traveler, you can t miss most of all the pot lumps, rotten soup, egg-white sheep's tail, wheat cake, wheat shrimp and so on. Of course it's the wheat oil, flatbread, crushed bean flour, seaweed cake and sheep's feet that are also suitable for hitting the spot.
4-5 star food recommendation: rotten soup, cold rice wheat cake, wheat shrimp, seaweed cake can be considered as a focus (ponies have their own tastes, not all of them are suitable for everyone.)
3-4 star food recommendations: egg white lamb tail, pot lumps, crushed bean vermicelli, glutinous rice fritters, lamb's feet, wheat oil, flatbread.
It can be said that although Linhai snacks have a better reputation than Quzhou snacks in the province, and not as good as Ann and Chengdu outside of Xi'an province, each of the flavors here will surely give you a taste of its uniqueness.
6. How to get to Linhai? (Take Hangzhou as an example)
Once upon a time, the transportation by the sea has been restricting the opening of tourism here, but fortunately, there is a high speed train now. It only takes 2 hours to get there from Hangzhou, which saves a lot of time than the previous bus. The exact frequency is shown in the picture below. When we arrived at Linhai, it was very convenient
2. Where to travel in February
Go to Beihai around February, including Weizhou Island. To be honest, it'it' a bit cold and. It's basically impossible to go into the water in this weather. If you dress, you may need a jacket and sweater at night when the sun is hot during the day. It is advisable to have some thicker clothing as the temperature dropped when we went in '16. Although the daytime temperature showed around 17 degrees, it was very windy on the beach and regular clothes were just blown through. Luckily, I brought a jacket that time. Actually, neither Weizhou Island nor Beihai is a particularly good vacation spot this season, because you can stop swimming in the water just to see the sea. It it' not much fun, and neither is Beihai or Weizhou Island. For example, heated swimming pools are recommended for Sanya this season. Some tourist facilities are better. Big hotels have heated swimming pools, but the big water rides in every hotel are closed because the water is really too cold.
3. Where to travel in February is better
Shandong belongs to the north, February is winter, so it's'weather is naturally very cold. It it' can choose a good place to travel is really rare. I recommend you Weihai Rongcheng Shidao.
Shidao belongs to the humid temperate monsoon climate, winter without severe cold, summer without heat, warm air. The average annual temperature is 12.1, the average annual frost-free period is 214 days, and the average annual sunshine is about 2600 hours, so Shidao is not very cold in winter.
1The first thing to see when traveling to Shidao is the swans: Swan Lake in Chengshan Town is not far from Shidao.
The Swan Lake is the most concentrated habitat for swans, covering an area of 6.3 square kilometers. It is the largest swan lake in northern China, known as the Kingdom of Oriental swans by experts and scholars at home and abroad. Because there are clean fresh water sources and plenty of food, kelp. Every year from November to April, tens of thousands of swans, ducks, geese and other birds from far and wide, flocks of call Siberia, Inner Mongolia and other places of friends. Of course, if you don't I don't want to go to Swan Lake, many swans will rest on the seashore of Shidao, but the number varies greatly.
Shidao Harbor Introduction
2 Visit Shidao Fishing Harbor Wharf:3 Located at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula, it is an important fishing port in Shandong Province and a sheltered harbor for fishing boats open to the outside world. It has wide waters, stable shoreline, small amount of sedimentation and good conditions for wave blocking, which is suitable for ships to dock. Shidao Harbor has a long history. In ancient times, it was a famous fish and salt distribution center in Shandong Province. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were two simple wharves. With the continuous construction of the port, nowadays, Shidao Harbor can moor 500-ton ships, 800-ton merchant ships can come into the harbor with the tide, and cargo ships over 1,000 tons can only operate in the anchorage. Not only that, it also has passenger ships, and the ports are Qingdao, Qingdao, Yantai and Dalian. It can be called an important commercial port in Shandong Province.
Introduction of Sunset at Phoenix Lake
Phoenix Lake: the location is unique, with no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. It was named the most suitable place for human habitation by the United Nations. The new area of Phoenix Lake, which is currently under development, has a world-class royal garden and a luxurious water feature of more than 50,000 square meters, where the mood of life jumps out.

Hundred years of flower village: Rongcheng City, Shandong Province, Shidao Management District, Chejiaohe (West Che, North Che, South Che) three villages, now collectively referred to as the flower village. The three villages of more than 1,000 villagers, almost every family to raise flowers. On this basis, tourists come here to enjoy the flowers and flowers, which has become the village's specialty industry.
Three hundred people are gardeners. The saying comes from more than a hundred years ago, and is said to have a history of raising flowers for more than 300 years.
In short, Shidao is a you won't you come when I don't want to go. Seafood is also the richest and best and freshest in the north, it is simply heaven on earth.
010-November 10 from Guangdong, if it is a short tour, let say 2-5 days. 1) the nearest option is to go to Nanxiong sweeping yellow there to see the ginkgo trees; 2) vacation is more abundant, I suggest going to erotic leisure Guilin, such as Guilin Yangshuo West Street, Guilin Haiyang Town, ten miles of gallery Xingping Ancient Town (20 yuan background) as follows; 3) afraid of the cold can go to Xishuangbanna The tropical rainforest, Wild Elephant Valley, Big Buddha Temple, and the daily Water Splashing Festival, hahaha.
4. Where to travel in February is better?
Harbin
Because Harbin in winter is a beautiful ice city, the streets and alleys have - a unique scenery of ice sculptures. Harbin is the most beautiful place at night, illuminated by snow and ice lanterns. In addition, snow sports such as ice skating, skiing and sledding are definitely worth experiencing. Besides snow and ice, architecture is also a major attraction here. The rich and special historical course has left the city with Russian, Baroque and Byzantine style western architecture, so many people call it Moscow of the East.
5. February suitable for traveling where to travel in February, February travel ...
Many thanks for the invitation to answer questions.
There are many interesting places to visit, but few are cheap. We recommend Dong Village and Tang'an in Guizhou. Stay one night in each of the two places.
The two attractions are not far from each other, which can reduce travel and transportation costs. The charges are not only less but also cheaper, and some of them are not charged. The following details:
Dongzhai
Location:
Located in the southeastern part of Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, it has the reputation of being the first village of the Dong Township, and is also the center of Dong folk culture. There is a direct shuttle bus from the high-speed railway station for 5 yuan and 50 yuan. Battery cars in the scenic area are free to ride, and the evening song and dance performances are free to watch. There are many choices of accommodation in the scenic area, ranging from 100 yuan a room to 800 yuan a room.
Tour Route:
During the day, look at the hanging towers on both sides of the river. Most houses in the village are of this form. The famous Drum Tower Cluster is the iconic corner tower of the Dong village. Many of the walled buildings and the life of the locals have a strong ethnic style and a bit of ancient flavor. Walking to the highest point of the scenic sightseeing platform, you can see those village houses are lined up and staggered in an ancient style with small green roofs in a clear color. Before nightfall, the lighting of the Drum Tower is another popular item here. When the lights come on, the whole building is golden and reflecting in the river, which is more poetic, and its beauty at night is unforgettable. Another important program in the Dong Village at night is to watch the free song and dance performance in the Village. The costumes, actors and singing effects are all of high standard. Enjoying the beautiful girls is enough for the Dong Village show.
Tang I; a
Sleep in the Dong village, sleep until natural wake up. After an ethnic breakfast, you can take a leisurely ride to Tang'an, which will take you half an hour. 5 dollars a person without a ticket.
Tangan is located on the other side of Dong Village, surrounded by mountains on three sides and terraced fields on the other. Compared to Dongcun, Tang'an is not as big as Dongcun, less crowded and lively. Walking and staying here for a night, you can slow down your pace and wash your soul. Although the architectural style and style are Dong Village model, more buildings are more primitive and better preserved. Most of the people here live in a paradise, with a slow and regular rhythm of life. When you arrive here, you will unknowingly become one of the people here, and suddenly you enter a place where you can take your time and enjoy life. Here is a peaceful evening. You can lean against the window and look out over the dark and serene mountains. Your mind is so calm at the moment. It's the best way to relax
