Although it is not a weekend, but the same two days weekend can also be done!


Rationally warned myself again and again, don't go out to join in the fun during this year's May Day holiday, as people watch people everywhere! But facing the five-day vacation that I got after hard work, I was extremely entangled and struggling. Finally, I succumbed to the temptation and planned to live in other people's cities for two days in what was equivalent to a weekend.

It seems that the clouds are calm and the wind is light. Life is different from tourism. Life should be without crowds, noise, rush, and ups and downs. I want to start gearing up for the five-day holiday when the people of the whole country are facing the chicken blood mode that is just around the corner. , it is not easy to find a city where you can experience daily life, and several necessary conditions need to be met: first, it is not a famous tourist city; It can be regarded as the most crowded "attraction" during the festival). . . . . According to these conditions, we narrowed down the scope and screened repeatedly, and finally determined our May Day "Cangzhou Tour". In addition to being famous as the hometown of martial arts, Cangzhou also has a large iron lion building built in the later Zhou Dynasty. There is basically nothing else, which meets our standards this time.


Get up early on May 1. According to past experience, I imagined that I could avoid the rush hour by setting off at 5:30, and try to reach Cangzhou for breakfast in two and a half hours. It seems that we underestimated everyone's impulse and enthusiasm for the long-awaited five-day holiday. The traffic volume has nearly doubled compared to previous holidays. The congestion of the normal expressway is caused by the congestion of vehicles entering the service area. It's really the first time to see the spectacle of blocked entrances in each service area. The two-and-a-half-hour journey took Shengsheng four and a half hours to arrive, saving a breakfast, and having lunch directly after check-in.

Since we are going to live in other people's cities, the whole itinerary is basically the most daily choice: eating home-cooked food, strolling in the streets and alleys, enjoying the scenery of the canal, two days that are so ordinary that we both feel relaxed physically and mentally. Lived up to our decision to venture out!


【Home cooking】

In addition to the hotel breakfast the next day, I ate two meals in total. It is said to be a dinner, but in fact it is to choose two home-cooked delicacies with local characteristics located in the residential area, one is hot pot chicken, and the other is donkey meat.

【Hot Pot Chicken】

Hot pot chicken is a well-known dish in the local area. It is made of stewed chicken in a large pot, and it is served with vegetables, soy products and staple food. It is a proper meal with rich flavors. It is convenient and delicious. The method is similar to braised chicken and chicken stew. We bought package coupons on dp in advance, which really gave us a good meal after being depressed and tired after the traffic jam.

The hot pot chicken restaurant is located near the neighborhood full of fireworks.

The first table in the audience, until the end of the meal, only one table came. During the holidays, there are fewer tourists from other places, and the locals don’t want to eat such ordinary home-cooked food anymore, so we enjoyed our first meal in Cangzhou very easily and quietly.

Two catties of chicken thigh meat is enough for two people to eat.

Snacks. The group purchase price of 48 yuan for a set is a very beautiful price.


【Donkey meat fire】

The popularity of donkey meat fire is far greater than that of hot pot chicken. How can you come to Cangzhou without Hejian donkey meat fire! I chose the only branch of Hejian Donkey Meat in Cangzhou - Gaomana Donkey Head Fresh Soup, which not only has donkey meat on fire, but also has a variety of donkey meat products. Unfortunately, the two people have limited meals and cannot share Try it all. The diners who dine are mainly locals, or order a few home-cooked dishes with several fires, or simply a bowl of donkey miscellaneous soup with two fires. It can be seen that donkey meat fires are part of the daily life of the locals.

The free chili rings can be added by yourself, and they can be added to the donkey meat fire to relieve the greasy.

The clean and tidy shop is definitely an affordable, delicious and distinctive small restaurant.


【hanging out】

Cangzhou City is not a big city. Our hotel is directly opposite Cangzhou Gymnasium. It is not the city center, but shared electric vehicles can be seen everywhere on the street to go anywhere you want.

In the Golden Lion Square photographed in the hotel room, the imitation version of Houzhou Iron Lion is in the center.

There are not many tourists in the huge square, and the breeze is blowing under the warm and comfortable sunshine.

Cangzhou is also a city along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. In recent years, cities along the canal have devoted themselves to renovating the water quality of the canal and the landscape on both sides of the canal, so the focus of the middle reaches of Cangzhou is arranged on both sides of the canal.

"Riding on my beloved little motorcycle, it will never be stuck in traffic", the best partner of the day, taking us to wander around.


The most famous scenic spot by the canal, Qingfeng Tower, stands like a landmark.

The Nanhu Park near the canal is similar to the park in the middle of the city, for residents to have leisure and entertainment. Nanhu Park and the canal are the attractions we went to twice during this trip to Cangzhou, once for a stroll and for a morning run the next day.

The time switched to the morning run the next day, and a few more photos of the same canal, the same Nanhu Park.

The morning exercise citizens photographed during the morning run are different from the square dance army in other cities. This place fully embodies the characteristics of the hometown of martial arts.


While wandering by the canal, I stumbled across a quiet place that contrasted greatly with the hustle and bustle of holidays - the Confucian Temple.

In addition to the bookstall at the entrance of the Confucian Temple, there is also a special exhibition introducing the contents of the ancient imperial examinations, which can increase knowledge and find tranquility, which is a very unexpected experience.

Tourists in twos and threes visit and browse silently, and it is completely impossible to imagine the crowds of people in other scenic spots across the country.

Happy ending! The most daily entertainment - watching movies. Haha, this itinerary reflects daily life to the extreme. The wool obtained from the Internet and a movie ticket of 19.9 are added as an additional item in the evening.


【At last】

In addition to the traffic jam on the road to Cangzhou, which made people feel the concentrated traffic flow on May 1st, the itinerary did not feel crowded at all, which proved that the result of this selection was successful and met our expectations. The cost of meals and electric cars is less than 300 yuan, which is really rare in holiday travel! After two days of ordinary life in other people's cities, there is no regret of spending money to make money, but only inner satisfaction and peace.
