How to play in Xixi Wetland?

Xixi Wetland is very large, divided into free and paid areas. The park is an irregular quadrilateral with multiple entrances. For many people who come for the first time, they will be confused about how to play. I will share my experience from multiple visits. The whole wetland has a maximum depth of 5.2km from east to west, and a shorter depth of 2.2km to 3.5km from north to south. So crossing in any direction is a test of physical strength. Although the scenery varies in each direction, it all involves water, plants and other natural landscapes. For the first time visitors, it is recommended to walk around the free area of Wen Er West Road, along the Fu Dike to the Jiang Village Slow Life Market, or you can take a boat, basically presenting the essence of the wetland. For those who have the opportunity to come multiple times, in addition to the free area, you can start from the paid scenic area that most people choose at the entrance of Zhoujiacun on Tianmushan Road. The ticket is 70, it is cheaper to book online in advance, or you can make a reservation for a teahouse or restaurant in the scenic area, which can basically exempt the ticket fee. Other places like Wujia Bay, Hongyuan, Xixi Paradise, and the entrance of Wen San Road can also be visited. In terms of transportation, the entrance of the free zone on Wen Er Road is directly accessible by Metro Line 19, and Zhoujiacun is directly accessible by Metro Line 3. The other entrances need to be combined with buses or walking, which is relatively inconvenient. Each season has its own characteristics in the wetland, and the vegetation will present different landscapes, so it is worth visiting frequently for people who live nearby or have the conditions. Hangzhou also provides discounts for local citizens or residents with residence permits. Apply for a Hangzhou City Huimin Cultural Travel Card to enter unlimited times. The annual fee is only 29.9, and it also includes many attractions in Hangzhou and nearby, such as Lin'an Qingshan Lake, Tonglu Yaolin Wonderland, etc., which is very cost-effective.
