#Slender West Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

  • This is Yangzhou.

    It's best to come to Yangzhou on weekdays, otherwise the weekend experience may not be as good. The main purpose of visiting Yangzhou is to eat and play. In the morning, arrange to have morning tea. We recommend the Garden Teahouse or Ye Chun on Yanfu Road (after eating, you can take a walk nearby, there are sightseeing boats and the Tianci Zen Temple). If you want something more upscale, you can go to Quyuan for morning tea, which is right next to Shouxihu Lake. For lunch or dinner, you can find a restaurant to try Huaiyang cuisine. We recommend Yangzhou Banquet, Pingshan Banquet, Yangzhou Lion Tower, Xishi Tower, etc. As for places to visit, start with Daming Temple, then go to Shouxihu Lake, Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, He Garden. Yangzhou is a place for slow living, so take your time to savor it.

  • Classic Chinese Park

    It is similar to most of the Chinese lake parks 🎋🌳. Those who have more interest into Chinese culture, monuments, gardens and architecture is a great place to explore 🎍. You can either explore the park by walking or by boat ride ⛵️. I heard its more beautiful in spring with blossoms.🌺🌻 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

  • Water town you can’t miss: Yangzhou

    Slender West Lake park in Jiangsu is a gorgeous scenic spot you should visit. You can either take a long walk around the lake, enjoying the scenery and cultural spots, or take a long and beautiful ride in the boats. During spring, weather is nice and flowers make this park an outstanding location. There are many beautiful locations for the perfect picture. Although, during our visit the park was so crowded we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we wanted it. Easy to realize many people travel from far away to visit this gorgeous lake. Inside the park, there are so many special spots that will bring your attention, from the gardens to the white pagoda, boats decorations and blossomed trees, stone laying, bridges, architecture.. absolutely amazing. This place also holds strong cultural heritage and history. 📍 No.28, Dahongqiao Road Slender West Lake Scenic Area Nei, Hanjiang, Yangzhou #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip #garden #park #blossoms #happylaborday #happyfamily #jiangsu #boat #culturalheritage #slenderwestlake #baozhang #lake #laketour #boattour #ancientarchitecture

  • Visiting Yangzhou in the fireworks-laden March is truly a heavenly sight that intoxicates the soul

    Visiting Yangzhou in the fireworks-laden March, it's not my first time here. Yangzhou always has a magical pull that beckons one to visit. Every March, I can't help but feel the urge to go to Yangzhou, to see its flowers, to feel its breeze. In March, Yangzhou's cherry blossoms and magnolias bloom, pink and white interweaving in a fragrant dance across the city. At this time, He Garden is as romantic as ever, with the scent of flowers lingering on. In March, the willows of Yangzhou gently sprout new leaves, the mild breeze of Slender West Lake caresses the face, and the warm sunshine feels like a gentle touch of jade, bringing a subtle and refreshing fragrance. In March, Yangzhou, devoid of major festivals, is less crowded, making for a quiet and pleasant time to eat, drink, and take photos. In March, one can enjoy morning tea in Yangzhou without the need to queue, savoring crab roe buns, Wuding buns, Yangchun noodles, and dry-fried silk noodles to one's heart's content. In March, taking a bath in Yangzhou is also very comfortable. How can one miss out on experiencing the bathing culture of Yangzhou, scrubbing oneself until they're as red as a freshly cooked prawn? It's invigorating. In March, embark on a culinary journey in Yangzhou, indulging in Huaiyang cuisine until you're fully satisfied, with dishes like lion's head meatballs, osmanthus river shrimp, soy-braised rice cakes with hairy crab, and Wensi tofu, all of which are favorites. In March, have a date with Slender West Lake, stroll through it, and experience the beauty of the classical gardens of the south, elegant and graceful. In March, if you catch a light rain in Yangzhou, there's no need for an umbrella. Experience the misty, rain-soaked beauty of the south, a sight too beautiful for words. In March, walking on the old streets of Yangzhou, stepping on the stone pavements, one can explore the nostalgic atmosphere of the old southern households, poetic and dreamlike. In March, open your camera and shoot to your heart's content. Everywhere is a scene, endless to capture, impossible to see it all. Once you've been to Yangzhou, you can never let go of the longing in your heart. Visit once, and you'll dream of returning, intoxicated by the southern charm of Yangzhou's time, truly intoxicating.

  • The six cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are indeed the pinnacle of tourism

    I love the spring in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, with the bright and beautiful March and April, where good scenery can be found everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. You can travel from Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou to Shaoxing, enjoying countless beautiful views and delicious foods. In Nanjing at this time, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, especially those at the Jiming Temple, which are exceptionally beautiful, making the ancient temple full of spring vitality. While admiring the cherry blossoms, don't forget to taste Nanjing's delicacies, such as duck blood and vermicelli soup, honey lotus root, small wontons, crispy baked buns, vegetarian assorted dishes, sugar taro sprouts; Nanjing's snacks have won my heart. Yangzhou at the end of March and the beginning of April is also lovely, with willows swaying, the green waves of Slender West Lake rippling, and boating on the lake is peaceful and leisurely, a scene that makes one want to write a poem. Yangzhou's cuisine is also not to be missed, with a rich variety of morning tea and the light and delicate Yangzhou dishes. Oh, I really want to live in Yangzhou and be intoxicated with its food. Heading south to the city of Suzhou, with its drizzling rain, the hydrangeas in the Lingering Garden are in full bloom, and the Suzhou gardens are like a dream in the misty rain, too beautiful for words. Suzhou's cuisine is also so exquisite that it's hard to bring oneself to disturb it with chopsticks, with Suzhou-style noodles, pastries, and Su cuisine, so refined they seem not of this world, unforgettable! Shanghai's spring is not only about tulips but also about crabapple blossoms, not only about romance but also about the warmth and brightness of spring. When you come to Shanghai to enjoy the spring, you must also enjoy the food, such as shepherd's purse cakes, shepherd's purse and bamboo shoot buns, shepherd's purse three delicacies wontons; these are all part of Shanghai's spring flavor, how can one word 'fresh' describe it all? From Shanghai to Hangzhou, it's a different scene, with the lakeside full of flowers and willows, Su Causeway in the spring morning, and the thick atmosphere of spring. A cup of Longjing tea before Qingming Festival, a view of Hangzhou's own spring, makes one linger and forget to return. Hangzhou in spring also has its unique delicacies, with oil-braised bamboo shoots at the right time, Longjing tea fragrant Dongpo pork, osmanthus lotus seed cake, all of which are my favorites. The last stop, Shaoxing, is also full of surprises, with tender green leaves, pink flowers, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, a beautiful picture of spring in the south of the Yangtze River. Shaoxing's food is impressive, with stinky tofu, wine-marinated chicken, Shaoxing three delicacies, rice cakes, drunken shrimp, all too delicious. At night, a warm pot of yellow wine helps one to sleep warmly and beautifully. I visit the south of the Yangtze River every year, not afraid of the late arrival of spring, just come when it comes~

  • Yangzhou Travel Guide

    This month, I must make a trip to Yangzhou. The itinerary is as follows: On the first day, visit Daming Temple, Slender West Lake, Ge Garden, Dongguan Street, Caiyi Street, and Wenchang Pavilion. Daming Temple, named after the Daming era of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty, has a history of over 1500 years and is the foremost of the eight famous temples in Yangzhou.

The bridge is 24 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, with 24 columns and 24 steps.

Some cluster in large swathes, as if to ignite the sky; others extend to the surface of the water, graceful and swaying! How to better enjoy the slender West Lake, the routes and strategies are all organized: 👉 Tour Routes: Commando Route: The slender West Lake is really big, if you have enough energy, you can play for a whole day. From the West Gate—> Stroll to the South Gate—> Take a boat from the South Gate Pier back to near the West Gate—> Continue walking north—> Exit from the North Gate—> Head to the Great Ming Temple. The above route can cover almost the entire slender West Lake, but it is very long and tiring, with not many dining options near the North Gate, it is best to dine and rest in the park. Quick Tour Route: East Gate—1757 Food Street—Take the sightseeing bus to visit the Wanhua Garden—Get off at the Twenty-Four Bridge for a spring stage (tea tasting, music appreciation)—Take a water bus/walk—South Gate. This route allows you to see the most famous Twenty-Four Bridge, Wuting Bridge, etc., without having to walk too much.

Outside the park: Restaurants are more concentrated near the West and South Gates, with fewer near the North Gate. 🚌 Transportation: During peak times, it is difficult to hail a taxi at the North Gate, and it is also hard to find an electric car with a charge, so you can only continue walking or choose the bus, with Bus 1 going to the West and East Gates. Be sure to board the bus at the first stop, otherwise, it will be difficult to get on later. That's all for this share, welcome everyone to follow, like, and I wish you all a happy journey!

  • The beauty of Slender West Lake in spring is beyond words

    Visiting Slender West Lake in March is so worth it! The first day in the morning, I went with a tour group. Since it was a drop-in group with many people, we originally went late, and after waiting for others, we entered the park from the West Gate at nearly 10:00. The park was packed with people. We took a boat to Xiao Jinshan and then walked back to the West Gate, covering only about one-tenth of the attractions. The scenery was so beautiful that I was left wanting more! The next day, I bought a ticket online for 90 yuan by myself, entered the park from the South Gate at 7:30 in the morning, and followed the 'audio guide' map tour. I walked, listened, watched, and took photos all the way, fully enjoying the scenery. I exited the park from the North Gate at 10:30, concluding the tour and making up for the regret. The public transportation in Yangzhou is very convenient, allowing access to any scenic spot. For a trip to Yangzhou, going on your own is the best choice!

  • Here's a guide to touring the Slender West Lake for everyone - after all, it's one of the most famous attractions in Yangzhou

    I've compiled a list of must-visit spots around Slender West Lake, so you can plan your own walking route according to your situation~ In the fireworks-laden March, come visit the garden in Yangzhou, oh! Wuting Bridge The original name of Wuting Bridge is Lotus Bridge. It features five square pavilions with pointed corners, memorable both in design and color. The scenery is beautiful with willows in spring and frosty snow in winter, daylight brings sunshine, and night brings bright moonlight, making it a picturesque sight in all seasons. Here you can buy creative ice cream for a check-in (beautiful for photos and quite delicious with a creamy taste, but it costs 18 yuan!) Diaoyutai The yellow pavilion facing Wuting Bridge in the middle of the lake is Diaoyutai. Its color is vibrant and eye-catching, and it looks great from every angle. Twenty-Four Bridge On a moonlit night by the Twenty-Four Bridge, where is the lady who teaches flute playing? Many people visit Slender West Lake just for this line of poetry by Du Mu. The bridge is located to the west of Wuting Bridge, with its white marble railings elegant and graceful, exuding its own charm. White Pagoda The Yangzhou White Pagoda, modeled after the White Pagoda in Beijing's Beihai Park, has a slender and graceful outline, and compared to the Beihai Pagoda, it possesses more of the delicate beauty of the Jiangnan region. Xiao Jinshan Xiao Jinshan, originally named Changchun Ridge, is a small island surrounded by water in Slender West Lake. Here you can see the Fengting Pavilion, Chuitai Terrace, and Moon Viewing spots. Sitting in the Fengting Pavilion and listening to the wind chimes tinkling at the eaves is truly relaxing. Xu Garden Xu Garden is built on the former site of 'Peach Blossom Dock', located at the north end of the willow-lined causeway of Slender West Lake. It contains the Listening to Orioles Hall, Spring Grass Pond Pavilion, and Shufeng Pavilion, making it a charming garden within a garden. Lakeside Plum Grove Before the cherry blossoms bloom, enjoy the plum blossoms at Slender West Lake. There is a large plum grove on the lake (not far from the north gate), and the flowers are blooming beautifully right now. Miniature Water Garden The closest attraction to the north gate of Slender West Lake, this place has many miniature landscapes, each with its own exquisite beauty. P.S. There's a great spot here to take a photo of the Qiling Pagoda of Daming Temple - any casual snap looks good. I entered from the west gate and exited from the south gate, and by strolling along, I was able to see most of the check-in points. The route from the north gate to the south gate is also OK, with no need to backtrack, making for an easy visit. Slender West Lake is a place where you can enjoy flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, cool breezes in summer, and snow in winter. It's a great place to take a leisurely walk any time of the year. Keep this guide handy, and welcome to Yangzhou~

  • The willows and flowers on both banks all lean on the water, and the pavilions stretch all the way to the mountains

    Only by standing on top of the Shugang's Qiling Pagoda can one truly understand what is meant by 'the green poplars and willows make up the city of Yangzhou' and what is meant by 'the garden's grandeur is supreme in the world'. The term 'embankment encircling and water embracing', often mentioned in garden history textbooks, couldn't be more appropriate to describe the misty willows and dense waterways of the Slender West Lake.

  • A decade-long dream of Yangzhou - leisurely and lazy spring days by the Slender West Lake

    Emperor Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River six times, and five of those were to seek the pleasures of Yangzhou, where the beauty of Slender West Lake in the misty and flowery March is unmatched. Amidst the misty rain, the chaotic blossoms gradually captivate the eyes, and the black-awning boats floating on the Slender West Lake, with the sound of oars accompanied by the boatwoman's Yangzhou tune, ripple through the red, the lush, and the slender. The willow branches on the shore are long and tender green, swaying gracefully, and the reflections of cherry blossoms, green peaches, begonias, magnolias, and bauhinias on both sides of the river, set off and surround the Five Pavilion Bridge, the White Pagoda, and the Fishing Terrace, creating a blurred and dreamy painting. The sun, still warm yet cold, shines on the lake, the mountains, the spring flowers, and the soft willows, making the spring scenery endlessly delightful. My travel route: I entered the park from the west gate of Slender West Lake early in the morning, and visited along the way from the Twenty-Four Bridge - Xichun Terrace - White Pagoda - Five Pavilion Bridge - Shuiyun Shenggai - Little Golden Mountain - Xu Garden - Fishing Terrace - Changdi Spring Willow to the south gate, then took a sculling boat from the south gate to tour the Five Pavilion Bridge, White Pagoda, and other attractions from the water. After disembarking at Xichun Terrace, I visited the Bonsai Garden and other places, exiting from the north gate. Ticket price: The adult day ticket is 100 yuan per person, and you can save 50 yuan by purchasing online one day in advance. The sculling boat charter is 1000 yuan, which can accommodate up to 16 people, and individual tickets are also available; there are also painted boats and electric boats. Recommendation: If you have the stamina, it's best to spend a whole day in the garden. Slender West Lake is beautiful everywhere, and it reaches its zenith in the flowery March. Only by taking your time can you appreciate the beauty of Yangzhou's slow life. There are places in the garden to buy snacks and tea, where you can sit down and take a break.

  • Slender West Lake | In March, the fireworks go down to Yangzhou

    Li Bai once said, 'An old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, in March, the fireworks go down to Yangzhou.' Although the March he refers to is the lunar March, the recent cheap airfares make a trip to Yangzhou in the solar March irresistible. ⛰️ Everyone knows about the West Lake in Hangzhou, but Yangzhou also has its Slender West Lake. As a 5A tourist attraction in Yangzhou, Slender West Lake is definitely worth visiting. The lake is divided into north and south zones, comprising a scenic spot with lakes and historical buildings, full of the charm of the Jiangnan region. 🌈 The Wuting Bridge and White Pagoda in the south zone are said to have been built to welcome Emperor Qianlong's southern tour, modeled after Beijing's Jingshan Park, while the Twenty-Four Bridge is inspired by Du Mu's 'Twenty-Four Bridge on a Moonlit Night.' Although the scenic area is reconstructed according to historical records, the pavilions and towers are stunningly beautiful, captivating visitors. 🌈 Now is the season when the plum blossoms are in full bloom. In the plum blossom area on the lake, large patches of red, white, and wax plum blossoms are blooming splendidly, making it the most beautiful area of the entire Slender West Lake. 📝 Check-in Strategy: 1. Slender West Lake tickets are divided into day and night sessions. The daytime ticket is 100 yuan, and it is recommended to buy a joint ticket for Yangzhou's attractions, which is more cost-effective. The nighttime ticket is 110 yuan, and only part of the area is open, but there are performances. Personally, I think the daytime session is better during the blooming season. 2. Slender West Lake has three gates: south, north, and east. Once you leave, you cannot re-enter. The north gate has the Da Ming Temple attraction, so it is recommended to enter from the south gate and exit from the north gate, taking the opportunity to check in at Da Ming Temple. 3. There are small sightseeing cars within the scenic area, costing 20 yuan for one trip. The south zone has more attractions and is recommended for walking, while the north zone has fewer attractions, and you can take the sightseeing car if you want to save energy.

  • Fireworks in March at the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou

    My dad hasn't been to Yangzhou for twenty years, and neither my mom nor I have ever been, so this time we took an impromptu trip to Yangzhou with my eighty-year-old parents. After breakfast at the hotel, we slowly walked to the north gate of Slender West Lake. The elderly got free admission, while the adult ticket was 100 yuan each. We took a 20-yuan electric cart per person after entering, which took us through the scenery and explanations until we reached the Wuting Bridge area. It was just after eight o'clock, and there weren't too many tourists yet, but there was already a queue for the boat tour, so we decided to skip it and continue walking. On my suggestion, we took a self-driven electric boat for 200 yuan an hour. The last time I was on it was nearly twenty years ago when I was playing with the kids, haha. My dad was a bit worried if I could drive it , but I told him I'm an experienced driver. So, with my encouragement, we had a joyful hour on the boat~ By the time the boat ride ended, it was almost ten o'clock, and the place had gotten much busier. We quickly left, concluding our morning tour of Slender West Lake

  • The misty rain veils the slender West Lake

    Spring is not late, travel down to the south, and when you reach Yangzhou, you must visit the Slender West Lake. The Slender West Lake is a famous lakeside garden, exceptionally delicate and beautiful in spring, with budding peach blossoms, blooming begonias, and flourishing magnolias, a sight too beautiful for words. On the day we went, it rained, adding enchantment to the Slender West Lake in the rain. When the rain got heavy, we took shelter in the Xichun Pavilion, facing the 'Number One Window in the World', sipping tea and listening to music, utterly enjoyable. Photography enthusiasts should definitely go early when there are fewer people. After 8:30 am, large groups of tourists arrive, making it difficult to take photos.

  • Fireworks in March descend upon Yangzhou, where the most beautiful sight is none other than the Slender West Lake

    It's the season for 'Fireworks in March descend upon Yangzhou' again, but why choose this time to visit? Once you're here, you'll understand. The weather is most pleasant, flowers are blooming everywhere, and many spring seasonal vegetables hit the market, offering a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Of course, the most beautiful place is still the Slender West Lake. Walking along the riverbank, passing various bridges, with boatwomen rowing wooden boats through the middle, the willows on both sides are lush and green, interspersed with delicate peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, golden bell flowers, magnolias, crabapples, and various colors dotting the green waves of the lake. Verses like 'Twenty-Four Bridge on a Moonlit Night' and 'Spring River Tide Flows to the Sea' perfectly blend nature and history together. The Slender West Lake is vast, and you can choose to enter or exit from the East, South, or West Gates. Besides classic check-in spots like Xichun Terrace, Wuting Bridge, and Fishing Terrace, there are actually beautiful scenes at every step, and a leisurely tour can take a whole day. You can choose to have a guide to learn more history, or sit in the boatwoman's boat and listen to her sing a tune. The view from the second floor of Xichun Terrace is the best, but you need to buy a tea seat, and there are performances. If you want to do aerial photography, you need to report to the scenic area in advance, otherwise, it will not be permitted. Nowadays, the night tour of Slender West Lake is also very popular. It is said to be limited in entry, with many performances at night, offering a different experience. Exiting from the East Gate of Slender West Lake, you'll find Yangzhou Banquet and hot spring resorts, while the South Gate is the main entrance. For lunch, you can also choose Canying Villa, which, like Yangzhou Banquet, offers authentic Huaiyang cuisine. Additionally, the Yangzhou Guesthouse is also very large and beautiful, connected to the Slender West Lake, and walking along the shore is extremely comfortable.
