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.

Night tour Slender West Lake can experience a completely different scenery from the daytime, there are about 10 chapters of small attractions (performances), from the south gate all the way to the west gate, you can visit in order, each small performance time is not long, but the overall is still more wonderful. Several performances are circular performances, and several are time-based. It is recommended to arrange time. You can experience all the performance chapters in about two hours. In addition, the scenery of the Slender West Lake at night is also beautiful.
It is recommended to buy a day and night package. At two or three in the afternoon, enter from the west gate to the north gate. From the north gate, make a battery car or cruise ship to the 24th bridge. It is better to watch the sunset on the Wukong Bridge and Diaoyutai side. There are snacks under the white tower. Solve the dinner problem at night, and then go from the Wukong Bridge to the south gate. It was almost dark at the south gate, and then went back according to the night tour route. The night view was super beautiful. In the evening, a staff member sent out the guide, and the service was in place 😀
Yangzhou in March of fireworks, there are really many people. I deliberately rushed to go after the Qingming holiday. One is to think that some tourists can be digested during the Qingming holiday, and the other is to catch up with the best lunar March. I didn't expect the heat to still be high. I like this city very much, and I have to go again in the off-season.
The Slender West Lake is beautiful and worth visiting. It is best to go in from the south gate, you can walk or take a boat. This time I came with friends and family, and there are free tickets for over 70 years old. It is recommended to take public transportation or taxi, because there are many people near the attractions and there are many cars, not very good parking.
Unlike the Slender West Lake during the day, the Slender West Lake at night is unique. Each attraction has a different theme and the time arrangement is reasonable. The performance of one attraction ends and the next attraction just starts to perform. The lighting effect is magnificent and has a strong cultural atmosphere.
