Xixi Wetland Park

**【Must-Visit Attractions】** 1. **Autumn Reed Snow**——In late autumn, acres of reed flowers scatter in the wind. Boating through them feels like entering a snow country, with photos naturally having a "fairy filter." But don't laugh with your mouth open, or you might choke on reed flowers. 2. **Persimmons Reflecting on Water**——During the October Persimmon Festival, century-old persimmon groves hang with red fruits, looking like a "natural red light district." Pick one to taste—it's sweet enough to make you question life itself. 3. **Dragon Boat Festival**——Watch hundreds of dragon boats compete during the Dragon Boat Festival, as lively as a "water spring festival rush." Don't stand too close though, or you might get splashed into a "drowned chicken." 4. **Lotus Beach Bird Watching**——White egrets and moorhens fighting is more entertaining than "Animal Planet." Bring binoculars, otherwise you'll only see "bird-shaped pixels." 5. **Hezhu Street**——An ancient-style commercial street. Buy blue calico fabric and Xixi rice wine, but don't bargain too hard or the shopkeeper might "rap" at you in Hangzhou dialect. --- **【Budget Accommodation Recommendations】** 🏡💰 1. **Xixi Brook Hotel** (200-300 yuan/night)——Near Xixi Paradise, rooms are small but clean, with balconies overlooking the wetland museum. Perfect for those who are "traveling on a budget but refuse cockroaches." 2. **Yunshui Yi Guesthouse** (150-250 yuan/night)——Vintage dark green sofas + fresh decor, beloved by hipsters. 5-minute walk to the outlets, convenient for both shopping and dining. 3. **Qingzhiwu Inn** (200-400 yuan/night)——Near the southeast entrance of the wetland, great value, some rooms include breakfast, and the owner provides hand-drawn maps. --- **【Nearby Food Recommendations】** 🍜🐟 1. **Xixi Vinegar Fish**——Sweet and sour appetizer, but don't ask if the fish "was happy when alive," or the chef might roll their eyes. 2. **Bu Fish with Steamed Eggs**——Wetland small fish + free-range eggs, tastes like "wetland pudding." Eat this and you'll get enough calcium to jump around West Lake without weak legs. 3. **Shepherd's Purse Spring Rolls**——Early spring wild shepherd's purse + bamboo shoots, crispy yet tender when fried. One bite delivers an "explosion of herbal freshness." 4. **Yanshui Fishing Village Triple Stew**——Fish head with tofu, old duck with dried bamboo shoots, and salted pork with winter melon, slow-cooked over wood fire for 6 hours. So fragrant that villagers across the river might call the police. --- **【Nearby Activities】** 🎭🚶 1. **Rowing Boat Tour**——60 yuan/person, with boatwomen singing Yue Opera tunes and cormorants performing "diving fish catching." Much more atmospheric than trendy cafes. 2. **Hong Garden Exploration**——80 yuan entrance fee, a Qing Dynasty Hong family retreat, uncrowded and beautiful, perfect for shooting "historical costume dramas." 3. **Xixi Wetland Botanical Garden**——Free! See amazing aquatic plants, with victoria water lilies large enough to seat a child (but don't actually try it, security will chase you). --- **【Humorous Tips】** - Mosquitoes are abundant in the wetland. Mosquito repellent is more reliable than your boyfriend, or you'll be bitten into "red bean shaved ice." - Don't stand at the bow for photos while boating, or you might become a "fallen mermaid" (lifeguards don't guarantee timely rescue). - When buying Longjing tea, remember to bargain. If the vendor asks for 800? Reply with "200!" (Don't be timid, they're used to it). **Summary**: Xixi Wetland = rowing boats + persimmon groves + vinegar fish = perfect weekend trip! Set off now, don't wait until the autumn reed snow when there are more people than reed flowers~ 🚗💨
