4. Is it fun to take a one-day trip to Youxi Guifeng Ancient Houses?
I have always been fond of small towns with strong fireworks atmosphere. Phoenix, Pingyao and Quanzhou, which were once super niche, have now begun to gradually become commercialized. Fortunately, there are many such travel destinations in China. For example, Linhai, which Xiaoma wants to share today, is a relatively niche ancient city in China. In addition, it is adjacent to the seaside, so when traveling in November, the weather is not too cold and the climate is just right.
1. Xiao Ma’s impression of Linhai:
My first impression of Linhai started a few years ago. When I accidentally opened a magazine, I saw a description of this city. It was simple and urban life. I walked around the old streets of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and walked through the long Go to the alleys to find authentic food. If you go there in person, you will live up to your yearning for the smell of fireworks. After visiting Linhai twice, I love this city even more, because those non-commercial old streets, the unique Taizhou-style snacks, the century-old city walls that remain, and the atmosphere of life hidden in the streets and alleys always make me The memory is still fresh.
2. Why does Xiaoma recommend traveling to Laihai in November:
1. It is quiet here and does not have much commercial atmosphere: Compared with other ancient cities in the province, the tourist atmosphere here is not so strong, and there are few commercial shops, so you can have fun with less money. More attractions.
2. Linhai is the fifth ancient city in Zhejiang Province to be selected as a national historical and cultural city, and it is the only county-level city in the province to appear on the list. Since the Tang Dynasty, Linhai has been the seat of Taizhou Prefecture. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it became Jifu, and Jifu generally refers to the area near the capital. It can be seen that Linhai has always had a special status in history, and there are still many historical sites hidden there today.
3. Like Quanzhou and Chaozhou, I personally feel that Linhai is also a city where you can go just for food. What’s more, the food here is not completely copied to other cities, so it can only be eaten here, and its quantity reaches More than a hundred species.
3. Linhai travel itinerary
As an unconventional travel city, Linhai does not seem to have many attractions, but as a historical and cultural city, it is perfect to spend 2-3 days to check out the monuments hidden in the streets and alleys.
D1: Shanghai or Hangzhou-Linhai
D2: One-day tour in Linhai City (Ziyang Ancient Street, People’s Bank of China Taizhou Branch Former Site Exhibition Hall, Longxing Temple, Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Ancient City Gate, Old Street Shopping)
D3: Half-day tour of Linhai Ancient City (spend half a day to visit the Linhai Ancient Great Wall) Return
4. Breakdown of the itinerary and what are the highlights?
Ziyang Ancient Street
Xiaoma recommendation index: four stars
I have always had a strong interest in ancient towns and ancient streets, but after getting tired of seeing most of the antique and renovated ancient streets, I became more and more disappointed with ancient towns and streets. However, the Ziyang Ancient Street near the sea is fortunately still inhabited by locals, and most of the shops are used by locals, so it is still a strange flower in the ancient street.
The focus can be on the five buildings of Wuzhenfang, Fengxianfang, Yingxianfang, Qinghefang and Yongjingfang on Ziyang Ancient Street. Of course, there are a lot of delicacies hidden in Ziyang Old Street. You can also focus on three delicacies: egg white lamb tail, seaweed pancake, and shrimp pickle. They are worth checking out.
Longxing Temple
Xiaoma recommendation index: four and a half stars (I originally wanted to give it three and a half stars, but because there is a real ancient Thousand Buddha Pagoda, I gave it one more star)
This is an important activity venue for the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism and has a very long history. It is said to have been built in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, which means it has a history of more than 1,200 years. However, the current Longxing Temple looks very new and should have been built later. But what? When it comes to antiquities, there are quite a few. For example, there are four ancient trees that are over 100 years old on the south and north sides of the Fangsheng Pond.
Of course, the oldest thing in Longxing Temple is the Thousand Buddha Pagoda behind the temple, which was built in 1299, the third year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty. There are Buddha statues on every side of the pagoda. There are 1,003 pagodas carved from the second to seventh floors. The carving skills are amazing and well worth seeing.
ancient city gate
Xiaoma recommendation index: four stars
It can be seen from the map of the ancient city of Taizhou Prefecture that there were once seven city gates hidden in the ancient city. The city wall was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, in the shape of a trapezoid. They are Chonghe Gate in the east; Xingshan Gate and Zhenning Gate in the south; Jingyue Gate in the southeast; Fengtai Gate in the southwest; Kuocang Gate and Chaotian Gate in the west. The ones that are still worth seeing today are Xingshan Gate, Zhenning Gate and Jingyue Gate. Xingshan Gate and Chonghe Gate are located at the southernmost part of Ziyang Street, so they seem to be the most popular places on the Internet and are also the favorite places for tourists to check in. If you like a niche, then Zhenningmen and Jingyuemen are more suitable. Especially Zhenningmen looks small, but what? The most quaint and urban life. Relatively speaking, Chaotianmen is very new and does not look quaint at all. If you are in a hurry, there is no need to check in.
Tips: It is recommended to walk from Xingshanmen to Xingshanmen. There are not many old street scenes along the way.
Jiangnan Ancient Great Wall
Xiaoma recommendation index: four stars
If we talk about the most famous scenic spot in Linhai, then it must be the Jiangnan Ancient Great Wall. This is a city wall about 4 kilometers long, with East Lake on one side and Chonghemen Square of Longxing Temple on the other side. Standing on the wall, you can have a panoramic view of Linhai. The panoramic view of the city, with the alternation of old and new ancient buildings, presents a modern and simple atmosphere near the sea. Although it is not as majestic as the Great Wall of Beijing standing on the top of the mountains, it has the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River. I personally recommend it to be worth checking out.
east lake
Xiaoma recommendation index: two stars
It seems that the name is comparable to West Lake, but it is actually a city park. However, if you study it carefully, you will find that the history of this East Lake is not short. In the fourth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (1071), the county governor Qian Xuan presided over the excavation. Personally, I think it is suitable for checking in. If you look closely, it feels ordinary. However, if you stand on the city wall of Taizhou City and overlook the East Lake, you will definitely be surprised, especially for tourists from the north. The small bridge and flowing water will definitely make you happy.
Walking around the streets
Xiaoma recommendation index: four stars
In fact, when I am in Linhai, my personal favorite way is to walk through the streets and alleys in the old city. The streets are named after famous people: Ziyang Street, Jiguang Street, Wenqing Street, Liudun Street, and Minglei Street; they are named after numbers. The streets and lanes are Yidongtian, Sanjing Lane, Santaifang, Sandafu, Wuzhuo Lane, Jiuqu Lane, Shisan Lane, etc.; the streets and lanes named Duanxiang, Zhaoxiang, Dengxiang, Zhaoxiang, Yangxiang, etc. are named after their surnames; Streets and lanes named after their commercial atmosphere include Yingzhu Lane, Yingluo Street, Gengpu Lane, Sugar Selling Lane, and Jiuying Lane. Doesn’t it look very interesting? So there is no need to learn about it in advance, you can encounter these special and quaint streets.
Each street is endowed with a unique meaning of Linhai, which makes the old city appear more lively. For thousands of years, people who have come to Linhai have lived, grown old, sick, and died here, and they have been married and married in the imperial examination.
5. What are the delicacies in Linhai that you can’t miss?
As an ancient city nestled between mountains and the sea, it is rich in natural products and the locals have created many delicacies. It is said that you can taste more than 100 kinds of authentic delicacies in Linhai City. As a first-time traveler, the most important things not to miss are pot cubes, glutinous rice cakes, egg white sheep tails, wheat cakes, wheat shrimps, etc. Of course, wheat fat, flat food, bean noodles, seaweed cakes, and sheep hooves are also All suitable for punching in.
4-5 star food recommendations: Zangtang, cold rice wheat cakes, wheat shrimps, and seaweed cakes can be strongly considered (recommended based on Xiao Ma’s own taste, which may not be suitable for everyone.)
3-4 star food recommendations: egg white sheep tail, pot cubes, minced bean noodles, glutinous rice fried dough sticks, sheep hooves, wheat fat, flat food
It can be said that although the reputation of Linhai’s snacks is not as good as that of Quzhou’s snacks within the province, and even worse than that of Xi’an and Chengdu outside the province, it has its own flavor, which will surely make you taste its uniqueness.
6. How to get to Linhai? (Take departure from Hangzhou as an example)
In the past, the traffic along the seaside has always restricted the opening of tourism here, but fortunately, there is now a high-speed rail. It only takes 2 hours to arrive from Hangzhou, which saves a lot of time than the previous bus. You can see the specific bus schedule below. After arriving in Linhai, there are buses from the high-speed rail station to the old city, which is very convenient.
The above is the travel guide shared by Xiao Ma that focuses on Linhai, which is very suitable for traveling in November.
