As a backpacker who came to Hangzhou for the first time, I thought that 100 yuan could only buy a cup of coffee at a scenic restaurant, but this "heaven on earth" taught me with its strength: even on a budget trip, you can taste a Michelin experience! Follow my 24-hour rampage route to unlock the "Hangwei Code" hidden by locals, and enjoy the ten scenic spots of West Lake and the hustle and bustle of the city with a budget of 100 yuan.
At 7:30 in the morning, the ancient morning flavor awakens by the West Lake
At the "Zhiweiguan" where local people lined up near the broken bridge, they used 8 yuan to taste the legendary Cat's ears (Steamed cat-ear shaped bread) - a pimple smaller than a nail writhing in chicken soup, accompanied by a plate of crisp deep-fried dough sticks, and saw the silhouette of Leifeng Tower in the morning fog, suddenly understood Su Shi's meaning of "it is always appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup".
Money saving tips: Avoid the main entrance of the scenic area and enter the store through the Beishan Street branch road to save 15% of queuing time.
At 11:30 am, a Zen themed vegetarian banquet was held in the temple
The "Taoguang Tea Temple" near Lingyin Temple spent 28 yuan to eat Arhat noodles made by monks themselves. The dragon well in the mountain spring is accompanied by Bamboo tube food. Squirrels jump on the pine branches outside the window and suddenly understand the true meaning of "Zen tea is always delicious" - food can also be a kind of cultivation.
Hidden gameplay: When checking out, ask for a signature from the master, and you may receive a fortune interpretation made of tea leaves.
Afternoon tea by the canal at 3:00 pm
The "Nameless Noodle Shop" on Xiaohezhijie is the best today! The bamboo shoot sliced snow vegetable noodles, priced at 15 yuan per bowl, are so fresh that even eyebrows would fall off. Sitting on a wicker chair by the canal, watching the rowing boats carrying tourists slowly passing by, suddenly envious of the leisurely lifestyle of Hangzhou people who "lazily draw moth eyebrows".
Must take scene: The window frame on the second floor of the noodle shop is framed with the Gongchen Bridge, with a large Instagram style shot straight out.
6:30pm Carbon Water Carnival in the Night Market
Wulin Night Market is simply a carbon water paradise! When standing at the memorial archway on Longyou Road and feasting on five Dingsheng Cakes at 12 yuan, the green onion bun juniper at 8 yuan, and the freshly fried Stinky tofu with iced sour plum soup, I finally understand why Bai Juyi "loves the lake more than anything else" - who wants to walk when food is available?
Bargain tip: When buying lotus root powder, ask "Is there a membership price?" The boss will give extra osmanthus candy as a gift.
At 9:00 pm, the starry night snack in the tea field
The 'Old Village Chief Teahouse' in Meijiawu hides surprises! You can boil tea around the stove for 60 yuan, Longjing Shrimp dumplings are faintly visible in the steam, and the tea farmer uncle plays three strings and sings Yue opera. As I took my first sip of tea and watched the tea mountains shimmer with silver waves under the moonlight, I suddenly understood the Hangzhou style romance of 'always enjoying a cup of tea like a beautiful woman'.
Special Reminder: Book a window seat in advance and you may come across fireflies!
Total cost: 8+28+15+35+60=146 yuan? NO! When searching for "Hangzhou Food Red Envelope" on Gaode Map, the actual payment is only 98 yuan! Previously, in the city of mobile payments, even wallets would be 'skinny West Lake'.
This route made me find that the food code of Hangzhou is hidden in the Cat's ears (Steamed cat-ear shaped bread) in the morning fog, the Arhat noodles in the temple, the Dingsheng cake in the night market, and the folds of the tea farmer's three stringed sound. Next time, I will bring 200 yuan - after all, who can refuse the temptation of Fried Shrimps with Longjing Tea with Dongpo Braised Pork?
