Hangzhou is a collection of beautiful and elegant and modern prosperity in a metropolis, where you can not only enjoy the beauty of the scenery, taste the food, but also appreciate the charm of a civilized, humane city.
West Lake in Hangzhou is famous all over the world and is one of the first batch of national key scenic spots in mainland China and one of the top ten scenic spots in China. It is one of the major ornamental freshwater lakes in mainland China, and is also one of the few and the only one of China's cultural heritage in the category of lakes on the World Heritage List today. Right now, it is the time for flowers to bloom, the grass grows and warblers fly, and the flowers in the major parks along the West Lake are beginning to bloom competitively. Prince Bay, the Botanical Garden, the Flower Garden, are all great places to enjoy the flowers. The key is that these parks are all free of charge! Since 2002, the scenic spots around the West Lake have been dismantled and opened for free, and to this day, tourists can really visit the West Lake without spending a penny! The money saved from the entrance fee can be used to taste the food in Hangzhou.
Dongpo meat, called chicken, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, these Hangzhou famous dishes in the West Lake scenic area around the can taste. If you are concerned about humanistic feelings, you can choose Louwailou, although the price is slightly more expensive, but the store has a long history and reputation, and has received a lot of celebrities and VIPs, the most famous of which is Premier Zhou Enlai. 1963, Zhou Enlai came to Hangzhou for treatment. After half a month of treatment, Zhou Enlai's condition improved. In order to thank the famous hemorrhoid expert Lu Qi for his surgical treatment, Zhou Enlai invited Mr. and Mrs. Lu Qi to have a meal in Louwailou for a casual meal. Zhou Enlai had used Louwailou as a window for foreign propaganda, so that foreign friends could better understand the Chinese nation from here. Ancient food culture, understanding of the social scene of the new China. September 16, 1973, Zhou Enlai accompanied French President Pompidou to Hangzhou. When bidding farewell to his French guests, Zhou Enlai hosted a banquet for foreign guests at Louwailou. Alternatively, if you want to be a bit more grounded, you can choose to go to famous chain restaurants such as Grandma's, New White Deer and Old Man's Oil-Popped Shrimp.
Chongqing, Changsha and Hangzhou are among my favorite cities, and I'm familiar with Chongqing, where I spent some time two years ago! Hangzhou, Changsha because of tourism or work travel have contact! Of course, Xi'an is my hometown and the city where I live, so I am more familiar with her!
Chongqing and Hangzhou still have a lot of fun and excellent tourist attractions, such as Chongqing's Glorious Mountain, Wulong, Hangzhou's West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Wansong Academy and so on. But in Changsha, apart from Yuelu Mountain and Yuelu Academy, I feel that there are really no other famous attractions to visit, and of course I love the Xiangjiang River and eating Hunan cuisine!
From what you've said, in terms of attractions, fares, prices, and food, I'd certainly recommend Xi'an.
Xi'an is known as the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, which is north of the Qinling Mountains there are Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Bell and Drum Towers, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Mausoleum, Mount Li Huaqing Pond, the city wall, the Forest of Stelae, Shaanxi Museum of History and other famous attractions, the Qin Mausoleum Terminal Nanshan Mountain, there are some very interesting but not very famous places, such as Cuihua Mountain, Louguantai, and so on.
Xi'an has many famous attractions or the ticket price is not high. Some of them are free to visit such as Shaanxi History Museum, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Great Tang Nocturnal City around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Price Xi'an accommodation, daily consumption and have been to some cities compared to the tourist city is still relatively low. First of all, the accommodation is not high, eating and everything else is quite cheap.
Speaking of Xi'an, of course, can not be mentioned Xi'an food, cold skin, beef and mutton steamed buns, meat buns, needless to say, Xi'an at the same time, Xi'an also brings together a lot of delicious food from all over Shaanxi! The oil splashed noodles, Baoji rolled noodles, Qishan noodles and so on are many foreign tourists love!
Come to Xi'an to experience the beauty of the ancient capital of a thousand years, taste the three Qin cuisine after a long time! You can't go wrong with Xi'an!
Xi'an, Changsha, Hangzhou, Chongqing are all good. The first Xi'an, Hangzhou have friends introduced, let me introduce a brief introduction to Chongqing.
Scenic area, in fact, the city of Chongqing itself is like a scenic spot, whether it is Hongyadong, magnetic mouth, the Yangtze River cableway, light rail, Crown Escalator and so on, more importantly, these scenic spots are basically free of charge, which is the sincerity of Chongqing.
Although Chongqing is often called a "mountain city," it's actually quite diverse, with the platform of a plains city
and the romance of a waterfront city
and of course, the staggering of a mountainous metropolis
with its walled cities and ancient temples
with the ruins of its old ports
with the national Memory
There is civilized metropolis
There is literature
There is petit capitalism
There is nature
There is faith
There is aggressiveness
There is also peace and quiet
Price-wise, Chongqing is not too expensive, but it is not particularly low either.
Diet, Chongqing diet is still a lot of spicy, but Chongqing is also a tolerant city, sweet and sour, salty and light can be eaten, but also can eat the food of various countries. Hot pot, as a local Chongqing, I prefer mandarin duck hot pot, spicy, warm, complement each other.
Welcome to Chongqing!
Xi'an is famous for its rich history and many humanistic monuments; Chongqing is famous for its modern urban architecture and night view of the mountainous city; Changsha's Mawangdui Yuelu Academy and Orange Island are also worth visiting; and Hangzhou is even more famous for its urban lakes and gardens. All four places also have their own special food. As for the nearby natural landscape are also very famous: Xi'an east of Mount Hua, Chongqing east of Wulong sinkhole, and then east of Lichuan Tenglong Cave Enshi Grand Canyon Pingshan floating boat, Changsha west of Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Phoenix Ancient City, Hangzhou, west of the Qiandao Lake Huangshan Wuyuan Sanqing Mountain. All are worth a tour of the beautiful scenery. Of course, before traveling must do a good job of travel strategy, otherwise ...... China's tourist attractions, you know!
Why must be synthesized well?
Should experience the characteristics of each city.
Xi'an focus to see historical and cultural monuments, such as museums, Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Famen Temple, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, half slope ...... at the same time to taste the local specialties, such as mutton bubble, rice skin, noodles, meat sandwich, boudin ......
Chongqing is characterized by the city's large size, a wide variety of transportation, red tourism resources, you can stroll around the city, while tasting the authentic Chongqing hot pot
Changsha did not stroll, it seems to have the Orange Island head, Yuelu Academy, as well as Hunan cuisine, stinky tofu
Hangzhou's reputation for the Jiangnan scenery, naturally, in order to taste and feel the charm of the West Lake, Xixi Wetland
Ha, the problem is just right! well is my experience strong point, especially the words of tourism I still have more say.
According to your order:
1. Xi'an
To play in Xi'an, there is a saying, either look at the "cultural relics", is to look at the "grave", of course, this is with a flirtation, but also from the side of the proof of Xi'an is a historical city. The city has a long history. Tourism Attractions I will not go into detail, after all, like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Big Wild Goose Pagoda Monument Forest can be found on the strategy, a little farther you can go to the Hukou Huashan and so on. Each place has his value, there are endless history.
Xi'an's food eat more for beef and mutton and noodles, if you love to eat this bite, that tells you to eat can be full of mouth oil, satisfaction is extremely strong, casually where you can find meat sandwich buns steamed buns oil splash noodles, and the biggest problem is that you have never eaten, you love to eat, even if you go home with the mouth there is that kind of nasty flavor.
The whole Xi'an people have the Northwest man's brashness, the voice is quite big, but also not too will be catty, their life looks lazy, actually is free. So if you are a history lover, you must go to Xi'an, if you want to experience the high slopes of the loess, then also go to Xi'an, if you are a foodie, also have to go to Xi'an. If you are a foodie, you also have to go to Xi'an.

2. Chongqing
Chongqing is now a net red city in the jittery voice, every day there are "Hongyadong", "high elevated", "through the mountain light rail! "...
I personally like this three-dimensional mountain city, the reason is that there is food and play, the attractions mentioned above, not to mention, if you arrive in Chongqing must also do a sub-crossing of the river cable car, but also a different footsteps (the price of the cable car is not friendly to outsiders ...). . The most beautiful thing about Chongqing is the night view, so don't miss it at night. Chongqing is also surrounded by a lot of beauty, Dazu stone carvings Wulong sinkhole, not too much trouble can also go to Jiuzhaigou, and even do the boat along the Yangtze River to Enshi... Anyway, the landscape wonders are definitely Chongqing's specialty.
Chongqing another feature is the " food ", there is a funny saying: Chongqing is the most most delicious three kinds of food is spicy hot pot, spicy hot pot and slightly spicy hot pot! Of course, if you go to Chongqing, you will know that there are a lot of good food, such as skewers from the hot pot, and the nationally known Mao Blood Wanton Chili Chicken, as well as when the breakfast of the "pea small noodles"... I said here mouth watering, with a song is "this is the feeling, times more cool"!
Chongqing people give me a better feeling, very sincere kind, not ink. I went to Chongqing, a few of my Chongqing friends, have to drive me to eat hot pot and see the night scene. Their mouths pop up from time to time, "Li a catalyst", "lying that you well yo", "Haer", listen to the very friendly, a little will not feel how vulgar...

3. Changsha
Changsha this place gives me the impression that it is more moderate, the city attractions are basically Yuelu Mountain, Orange Island head. If you are talking about tourism to see, honestly really nothing outstanding, but I have to say that every holiday, Orange Island fireworks show is really beautiful. Now the vast majority of the city fireworks are strictly prohibited in the era of fireworks, suddenly see more than half an hour gorgeous, based on this alone is worth going, of course, before going to be sure to check out, or else white to go. And be careful, grab a spot at least 5 hours in advance ( ε ).
As for the neighboring places recommended is Shaoshan Phoenix ancient city and Zhangjiajie, three places first Zhangjiajie, the other two places commercial atmosphere is too serious, pit death no problem.
Changsha food is very regional, can not miss is stinky tofu, fried sausage and powder. Hunan cuisine is now well promoted throughout the country, so it's not too difficult to get a taste of authentic Hunan cuisine.

4. Hangzhou
The saying "there is a paradise above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below" is definitely not just a saying, Hangzhou has countless beautiful scenery, and even the surrounding scenery and attractions are also very good.
I'll just briefly talk about the must-see attractions in Hangzhou, West Lake Lingyin Temple Qiantang River (tide period) Xixi Wetland Thousand Island Lake (water recreation and underwater ancient city) Songcheng Yaolin Liangzhu ... The surrounding more Wuzhen Hundred Cao Yuan Hengdian Yandang Mountain... Basically all 4a5a scenic spots.
Hangzhou this place is actually very literary very small fresh, far from the above a few cities of the big open. You arrive in Hangzhou will feel not in tourism, but in the vacation, strolling West Lake, into a mood, experience is a relaxed moment. So if you want to find the hustle and bustle, in fact, in Hangzhou is very difficult. If you want to play pushy, it's still very easy.
Hangzhou food, in fact, Hangzhou food is really not much, or suitable for the national "heavy taste" is not much, the most famous West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, East Slope meat, called chicken XiaoLongBao in fact, now sold in the hotel is not good, even if the West Lake State Guesthouse, outside the building of the place of these a meal of several thousand, so much so. Of course, does not mean that Hangzhou has no good food, my suggestion is to eat in Hangzhou do not pursue "fame", go to some of these places such as Greentown New White Deer Grandma's house Kueiyuan Hall these places are good, but also to taste and a lot of Hangzhou Gangtai's "innovative dishes", these places are really good. The actual food is really tasty.
I would like to emphasize here that Hangzhou is not a good place, that is, the scenic area tourists are too much, do not come on holidays, otherwise you will be depressed to death...

There is a saying that traveling is to go from the place where you are tired of staying to the place where others are tired of staying. So I would choose places like Xi'an and Chongqing. I've been studying and working in Hangzhou for more than a decade. I think travel is a very personalized and private behavior, so personal preference and interest is very important. Shaanxi I went directly to 3 times, noodle Shaanxi noodle is very like, the Han and Tang Dynasty, Huangtu high slopes, rough Qinqiang ......; Beijing twice, under the root of the Imperial City, Hutong string, or miss the guardian temple of the soybean juice coke, and cheap flavor pure. Just a long time to live or prefer the fresh air of Jiangnan, red flowers and willows, blue sky and blue water. (My home is in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River)
Hangzhou, Chongqing, Changsha, Xi'an. Hangzhou West Lake free of charge, it is worth a visit, Chongqing mountain city, you can go to see the strange scene, Changsha can go to see the Chu Xiang culture, Xi'an, even if it is not much tourism resources, the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is still drawn from other cities in Shaanxi, and there is nothing else to look at, basically in the name of the ancient architecture, get a bunch of modern cement buildings, Xi'an fake attractions a lot of you if you go for the first time, the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses has 80% will go to that cottage fake attractions, yes, you did not hear, Xi'an has a lot of cottage fake attractions, such as Trace Qin Huangling, is the cottage Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
Changsha was just visited a bit years ago, haven't been over there in a while, no comment. The remaining three cities have all recently been there more than once. Each city has its own flavor, and the experience of traveling is also related to the weather, mood, and partners. Like the history of thick, eat on the need to go to Xi'an this introduction of a lot, no longer repeat; small fresh style, leisure spring 3-5 months to Hangzhou will never be wrong (Hangzhou food can not, Hangzhou Gang Gang cuisine characteristics are not enough, the focus on behalf of eating point is not), his wife is the Hangzhou people is not my intention to black ah, my own feeling is this. Hangzhou four eye wells over the B&B is good, you can live over there; Chongqing is a very magical city, and other plains city is definitely not the same, did not come to experience a fresh feeling, attractions in general feel peculiar, from the road into the staircase on the stairs on a few floors to go out to see or the road, restaurants open inside the office building, can eat spicy blessings, good food quite a lot. The most delicious Shengtian Mao Blood Want, much more delicious than another net red, small noodles have their own specialties, can try, ice powder cool cake is also delicious, Hongyadong night to see or can be.
Changsha Changsha. Good food, convenient transportation, good scenery
