Take Metro Line 2 (Blue Line) in the direction of TASQUENA to the terminal, and transfer to the light rail, which is the starting point of the light rail, heading for XOCHIMILCO (Hodgmilco). Light iron needs to buy cards on machines, but can only be bought with coins. Because it is a price and outbound without brushing, so many people can use a card. Let's use one for both of us. EMBARCADERO TURISTICO is clearly marked on the light rail when it gets off at the terminal. It walks to the terminal for more than ten minutes. There are many colorful boats, colorful hulls, blue hulls and some cabins with tables and chairs. Each ship has its own name, and one is named Picasso. The river we saw was not big, and no tourists took boats, so we took pictures and left. Walking a short distance to another pier, the scale is not as large as the first. According to the data, Hokimirco is an ancient Indian language, meaning "land for planting flowers" where man-made canals and islands are located. Out of the pier, we want to go to the flower fair. Asked a lot of people, and then a girl understood what we meant and told us that far away, we hit the 20 pesos to the flower market. We saw two streets, basically in front of the booth, behind the greenhouse, selling large plants, potted plants, vegetable seedlings, and gardening-related products, did not see precious flowers and plants. Later, each person returned to the light rail station by 4 pesos on the minibus, with XOCHIMILCO attached to the front of the minibus.

    The most expensive canal is 500 pesos! We packed a boat ourselves and bargained for 400 pesos. But if you think 400 pesos is too expensive, you can find other tourists to join the boat together. There is no limit on the number of people, as long as the boat can sit down! ! Remember not to pay for the boat alone! This is an hourly journey! Basically, most locals bring their own food and drink to share with passing ships. Even if you don’t bring food, don’t worry, there are many stalls on other boats selling! Just be prepared to bring cash

    I remember that the domestic program of the sister came here to shoot, a good place to relax, because it is someone else's hospitality, so I don't know the price, I heard that each boat is 1000 pesos, if this price is really cost-effective, a boat can sit about 20 people. However, it is recommended to do a good job of sun protection, which is useful for all people who come to Mexico. It is also recommended to bring your own snacks and drinks before boarding, because the boat journey is almost 4 hours. The shops on the shore are not only expensive, but also less variety. If you forget to prepare, you will see a boat selling food passing by in the boat, shout to them Hola, and they will lean over, but eat. There is no picture of that place, because the boat is really comfortable, I just lie down and chat, I forgot to take pictures, put some attractions, the child who plays zipline is my daughter, the zipline buys three and one, 150 pesos slide four back and forth, play hi

    I really didn't expect Mexico to have a water city, so I have to take a seat in their eye-catching art boat. I don't think the water in the river is very clear, but it's also a local feature anyway.

    Xochimilco is something you have to see, I went there at sunset and the experience was great, at that time there are not so much traffic, and we can play our own music and drink while we travel to the canals

    Xochimilco in Mexico is listed as a World Heritage Site. The most impressive thing is the ghost doll Island introduced in the travel book. A thousand ghost dolls hang on trees. There are many tourists on weekends. From Mexico City, they take the subway, Blue Line 2 to the last stop, Tasquena, and then take the light rail to Xochimilco. After getting off, they walk forward for about 5 minutes to the wharf. There are police on the roadside, chartered boats are about 500 pesos, which can be found. People carpool together, the cost is equal, many families charter boats for parties, boats on the river sell flowers, drinks, food, small gifts, tricks will slip over, there is a section of the river is dirty, like a foul ditch.

    The canal is for carrying flowers. So there are many flower gardens along the river. There are also cafes. On weekends, local people also call friends to come here. There are four or five bands in white dresses. It can be played on board. It's very lively to sing and dance.
