Jiaxing Live | A seriously underestimated small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

|A seriously underestimated small town in the south of the Yangtze River. I recently came to Shanghai on a business trip, and I chose a small Jiangnan city near Shanghai to stay for two days over the weekend for a relaxing vacation. After hesitating among Tonglu, Lishui and Shaoxing, I finally chose Jiaxing. The reason for choosing Jiaxing is simple: it is close to Shanghai, the hotels are good, the restaurants are delicious, and it is extremely suitable for a weekend vacation on a hot day with temperatures of 40 degrees. Transportation: Shanghai Hongqiao-Jiaxing South, the high-speed rail only takes 30 minutes to arrive (faster than my trip to Pudong). When we arrived in Jiaxing, we felt that the temperature was comparable to Shanghai's 40 degrees Celsius, so we quickly took a taxi to the hotel to escape the heat! Hotel: I was attracted by the price of Sheraton Jiaxing, but I finally chose Nanhu Hotel. Don’t be put off by its name, this is not an ordinary hotel. It is an exaggeration to say that it is a state-level garden hotel! Even my straight husband who is usually slow to talk about hotels couldn’t stop praising it! The hotel seems to have been newly renovated in 2021. The appearance and hardware and software facilities are all designed with great care. It is definitely not one of those internet-famous hotels that are first-rate for taking photos but have third-rate facilities. Living in Nanhu, I feel like the world is a huge garden. The houses are surrounded by gardens, the restaurants are surrounded by gardens, and there are beautiful garden landscapes wherever you go. This is probably what it means to have a changing scenery with every step. It’s hard to imagine how free and unrestrained I would be if the weather was cooler! By the way, the hotel recommends booking in advance. There seems to be an event going on recently. I booked a night for just over 700, including breakfast. The price/performance ratio is so great! Food: Jiaxing people are so happy! The people of Zhejiang are so happy! This time in Jiaxing, I not only ate at many local home-style restaurants, but also tried Wenzhou fried vermicelli, Taizhou small seafood, Jiangxi stir-fried dishes, and glutinous rice cakes. I had seven meals in two days and not a single one was a disappointment! Recommend some delicious restaurants we had this time: Taizhou Toumenggang Small Seafood: A seafood stall with delicious taste and reasonable price, recognized by Taizhou friends! Wenzhou Fish Head: There are fewer dishes, but the taste is really great! Fanghezhou Restaurant: A local restaurant with a very down-to-earth feel. The environment is average, but the taste is really amazing! We ate there twice in two days! Jiangnan Waipo Bridge · Hecheng Memory: Nice environment, decent taste, recommended yellow croaker rice cake and drunken shrimp Guanqiao Gong Noodles: Pork liver noodles and seafood noodles are both good. Most of the toppings are stir-fried, which is suitable for those with a stronger taste. Mei A Ni Tea Cake: I bought meat tea cakes from this shop and packed 4 egg yolk meat dumplings to go. In addition, the iced mung bean soup is also delicious, with just the right sweetness~ Jiaxing, come again next time
