May Day Fun Guide | 4 Treasure Cities Accessible by High-Speed Rail

| 4 treasure cities accessible by high-speed rail. Hey friends👫, the May Day holiday is coming soon. Are you still struggling with where to go? I've dug out 4 beautiful cities accessible by high-speed rail. Get your strategies ready and save them now! 📍Nanjing • Special Attractions: Confucius Temple—Qinhuai Scenic Belt is full of ancient charm. Take a night tour of the Qinhuai River and see the carved beams and painted buildings along the riverbanks, where you can glimpse the romantic affairs of ancient times. The Nanjing Museum has a rich collection and is free🆓. You can't see it all in a day. The Zhongshan Scenic Area encompasses many historical sites. Strolling through it, you can feel the weight of history and enjoy the fresh air. • Food Recommendations: Duck blood vermicelli soup, vermicelli soaked in duck soup, with thinly sliced duck blood, duck intestines, etc., sprinkled with coriander and chili oil, it's so delicious that your soul will leave your body🍜. Salted duck has tender meat, salty and fragrant, perfect as a snack or souvenir. Plum blossom cake is soft, glutinous, sweet, and has a rich filling. • Tips: There are many tourists in Nanjing during May Day, so book accommodation in advance along the metro line. Make reservations for the museum in advance. Avoid peak hours for the Qinhuai River cruise, and go in the evening. 📍Hangzhou • Special Attractions: The West Lake is "always beautiful, whether lightly or heavily made up." In May, it is full of greenery. Rent a bicycle and ride along the lake, checking in at the Broken Bridge and Su Causeway, and enjoy a carefree time🚲. Lingyin Temple is a popular place of worship, a quiet ancient temple, where you can pray for peace, listen to Buddhist chants, and purify your soul. Xixi Wetland is ecologically beautiful, and you can take a sculling boat to enjoy the scenery. • Food Recommendations: West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce is sweet and sour, with tender fish. Longjing Shrimp is fragrant with tea and refreshing. Cong Bao Hui is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and has the taste of old Hangzhou. • Tips: High-speed rail is convenient, and you can take the metro directly to the West Lake from the station. Look for small restaurants frequented by locals around the West Lake, they are reliable. Buy tickets for Lingyin Temple in advance. 📍Wuhan • Special Attractions: The Yellow Crane Tower is famous. Climb the tower during May Day, and you can see the Yangtze River Bridge and the entire Yangtze River, a truly magnificent sight. The East Lake is larger than the West Lake, and you can cycle on the greenway or go boating for free🆓. Chu River and Han Street is a collision of fashion and history, where you can stroll and eat. • Food Recommendations: Hot dry noodles are alkaline noodles coated with sesame paste, with chopped green onions, etc., mixed evenly, and very chewy. Three Delicacies Doupi is golden and crispy, with multiple layers of texture. Duck neck is fragrant and braised, and the more you chew, the more flavorful it gets. • Tips: Book tickets for the Yellow Crane Tower in advance to avoid peak hours. Choose a good time to rent a bicycle at the East Lake to avoid crowds. There are many snacks on Han Street, so pay attention to hygiene. 📍Chengdu • Special Attractions: Wuhou Shrine commemorates Zhuge Liang, with red walls lining the path, perfect for taking photos. Jinli Ancient Street is antique, and at night, red lanterns are hung high, and snacks are everywhere. Kuanzhai Alley allows you to experience the slow life of old Chengdu, where you can have your ears cleaned, drink tea, and enjoy a comfortable time. • Food Recommendations: Hot pot goes without saying, hot, spicy, and delicious, with tripe and duck intestines being must-tries. Dan Dan Noodles are thin noodles with crispy and fragrant minced meat and a rich sauce. Ice jelly is smooth and refreshing, and red sugar glutinous rice cakes are soft and glutinous, perfect for relieving spiciness. • Tips: Choose hot pot restaurants that are popular with locals.
