Encounter the poetic beauty of mountains and waters in Huzhou, this 2-day itinerary will help you explore the hidden gems of Gucheng ✨


【Day 1: Ascend for Panoramic Views · Gucheng Scenic Area】
📍Gucheng Scenic Area (South Gate of Longwangshan Road)
Arrive at the scenic area at 9 AM. It's recommended to take the sightseeing bus directly up the mountain (a blessing for the lazy!). The view from the mountaintop observation deck is absolutely stunning, offering a panoramic view of the entire Huzhou city~ After taking photos, slowly stroll down the mountain. The ancient trees towering along the way are incredibly therapeutic 🌳

Small tip: Wear comfortable sports shoes! We regretted not taking the bus halfway up...

【Day 2: Lakeside Slow Living · Taihu Lake Resort】
📍Taihu Lake Tourist Resort (Open all day)
Wake up naturally and head to Taihu Lake. Here are some recommended activities:
1️⃣Cycling along the lake (plenty of rental spots)
2️⃣Check in at Moon Plaza for the landmark 'Toilet Lid' building
3️⃣Enjoy fresh lake seafood at Fisherman's Wharf (recommend the stir-fried silverfish with eggs at 'Lao Xian Da Shi Tang')

Waiting for the sunset by the lake in the evening is super romantic, with pink and purple twilight clouds so beautiful they'll leave you speechless 🌅

🍜Must-Eat List:
- Zhoushengji Chicken Feet (Yishang Street, downtown)
- Zhu Laoda Zongzi (sweet tooth's delight)
- Ding Lianfang Qianzhang Bao (amazing with vermicelli soup)

🚗Transportation Guide:
Taxis between attractions take about 20 minutes. It's recommended to stay in a B&B near Renhuang Mountain. We stayed at 'Yinxi 39', which has a mountain-view terrace, and it was only 200+ per person!
