Zhen Guo Temple in Gaoyou Town
When you go to Gaoyou, you must visit Zhen Guo Temple. It is located in the middle of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province, east of Gaoyou City and west of Gaoyou Lake. It is truly a dragon land, now known as the 'Buddha City of the Canal'. Zhen Guo Temple was built in 874. The brother of Tang Yi Zong saw through the red dust and became a monk. He visited famous mountains and ancient temples. One day he came to Gaoyou and came to the canal. He saw the canal flowing and the snow waves of Pearl Lake. The worldly thoughts suddenly disappeared. So he settled here for Zen practice. The Zen master is proficient in Buddhist principles and is dedicated to promoting Buddhism. The prosperity of the Dharma was reported to the court, and Emperor Xi allocated funds to build the temple, named the temple 'Zhen Guo Zen Temple', and bestowed the title of 'Ju Zhi Zen Master'. The pagoda of Gaoyou Zhen Guo Temple is also known as the West Pagoda, and is praised by people as the 'Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the South'. As a national key cultural relics protection unit. The Zhen Guo Temple Pagoda was built during the Tang Xi Zong period. It was originally a cultural relics protection unit in Jiangsu Province. It is a square seven-story pagoda-style brick tower. The tower is 35.36 meters high. The top of the tower is a bronze cast gourd, and the surface of the gourd is engraved with the eight characters 'wind adjustment, rain smoothness, national peace, and people's safety'. The environment here is beautiful, the facilities are complete, and it is open for free.

Where do Shandong people go for the Spring Festival? 4 small and literary city recommendations! Where do Shandong people go for the Spring Festival? 4 small and literary city recommendations!
Located in Linyi, Shandong, a six-day and five-night self-driving tour guide. The total cost for two people is 3288 yuan.
The first stop : Gaoyou.
Gaoyou in Wang Zengqi's pen, a national historical and cultural city, the hometown of Chinese poetry. This is a small city full of historical charm everywhere, suitable for slowing down and walking around.
Must go: Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall - South Gate Street - Yucheng Post - Zhen Guo Temple (lots of rabbits) - Second Bridge to watch the sunset
Must eat: Yangchun noodles, wontons (only four or five yuan, cheap and delicious) Wang tofu, Pu Bao meat.
Recommend People's Bridge Dumpling Noodle Shop and Fu Gong Bridge Noodle Shop. It feels like any noodle shop is very friendly and reliable.
Second stop: Yangzhou.
'Ten miles of long street markets are connected, and you can see gods on the moonlit bridge', walk around the ancient commercial street, listen to Yangzhou tunes, drink morning tea and eat sugar water, feel the market atmosphere, it is an unprecedented experience for northerners. Always feel that southerners are very good at enjoying life, with a sense of relaxation and literary genes carved into their bones.
Must go: Dongguan Street, Pishi Street, Caiyi Street - Slender West Lake - China Grand Canal Museum
Must eat: Crab yellow noodles, duck blood powder, small steamed buns, Yang Da yogurt (overall not as good and affordable as Gaoyou)
Third stop: Anhui Chaji Ancient Town
Anhui Chaji Ancient Town: 'Ten miles of Cha Village and nine miles of smoke, small bridges, flowing water, apricot blossom day'. This is a small town nestled in the deep mountains, with ancient trees reaching the sky, streams rushing, smoke rising, everything is vivid and powerful and ancient and distant, as if pulling people back to childhood. (On the way to self-driving Chaji, the scenery of Xiaochuan Tibetan Line is also beautiful).
The town's special dishes: dried bamboo shoots braised pork, soy sauce small mixed fish, chestnut chicken, stinky mandarin fish, each Huizhou dish is very suitable for Shandong people's taste.
Fourth stop: Jingdezhen.
A gathering place for talented young people, full of ideals and talents. As a thousand-year-old porcelain capital, there are many unimaginable ceramic artworks, ceramic shops, ceramic markets, and girls can't move their legs.
Must go: Taoxichuan - Sculpture Porcelain Factory - China Ceramic Museum - Yaoli Ancient Town
Must eat: Very popular beef bone powder, cold powder, fried powder, old noodle soup bag, preserved egg meat soup have been tasted, not used to eating, feel far worse than Lu cuisine, do not recommend.

The Gaoyou Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall is as beautiful as a work of art
Unexpectedly, in the ancient city of Gaoyou, I encountered the Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall, which integrates art and literature. This memorial hall, built on the centenary of Wang's birth, looks like pages of a book. Walking in the light and shadow and the atmosphere of scrolls, savoring the mouth-watering delicacies in his writings, I realized the most beautiful worldly atmosphere of Gaoyou!

Yuchengyi Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Gaoyou, Yangzhou, the ancient courier station Yucheng Post
When strolling on the streets of Gaoyou, you can always feel the unique postal culture of this small city: the sculpture of the letter delivery in the south of the city, the statue of the messenger holding the documents in the city, the Yucheng Post we visited, is the best preserved ancient post station in the country with both water and land transportation. It integrates post station, mansion, transportation, canal transportation and other functions, covering an area of more than 16,000 square meters. It is composed of gate, drum tower, warehouse, gift room, post cheng house, post soldier house, horse god temple and other buildings. It has now been listed as a national key cultural protection unit.
Although Yucheng Post is not large, it is the only ancient postal culture display in our country. In the post house, wandering in the ancient courtyard, ancient post well, ancient courtyard, ancient archway and other relics, compared with today's logistics and express industry, it really feels that the changes are too fast, the sea has changed into mulberry fields.
Address: No.13, Guanyi Lane, outside the South Gate, Gaoyou City, Yangzhou City
Ticket: Adult 25 Student 15
Opening hours: Open from 08:15 to 17:30

Riddle: A plane delivers letters one by one.
Riddle: Airplane delivering mail (guess a place name) Answer: Gaoyou
This is the first time I knew about Gaoyou when I was a child. After I started working, I only knew about Gaoyou salted duck eggs, and that was all I knew about Gaoyou. Finally, when I came here, I realized that there are many stories here. Firstly, Gaoyou Lake has beautiful scenery; secondly, Zhongguo Temple is the only temple located on the island in the center of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Zhongguo Temple Pagoda is known as the "Southern Wild Goose Pagoda"; thirdly, Yucheng Post is a "living fossil" of China's postal stations, the largest in scale and the best preserved ancient post station in the country. Pu Songling served as a post official here. It was only after he submitted a request to the emperor for funds to repair and renovate that the large-scale water and land post station we see today was built. Wen Tianxiang was detained during his mission to negotiate peace and escaped to Gaoyou via Jingkou (Zhenjiang). He had a thrilling journey and formed a lifelong bond with Gaoyou. Qin Guan and Wang Zengqi are both from Gaoyou. The famous "Travels of Marco Polo" vividly records the operation of the postal stations and relay stations during the Yuan Dynasty, and mentions his stay at the post station in Gaoyou and the scene of the rich local products. Come to Gaoyou to learn something new!

Must-visit attractions in Jiangsu Province Yucheng Post
Yucheng Post is located in Guanyixiang, Nanmen Street, Gaoyou City, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is located on the banks of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is surrounded by rippling waves and busy shipping. Walk north along the antique Nanmen Street and you can reach it when you arrive at Guanyixiang. Nanmen Street is an ancient commercial street with many attractions, such as antique shops, restaurants and pubs. The Yucheng Post scenic area is very large, and the main buildings open to tourists are Zhujietang and Huanghuahall. In addition, there are several places, such as China's only Postal Museum, Horse Temple, Drum Tower, etc., which are very attractive and both informative and interesting. The characteristics of Yucheng Post are relatively distinct. With the theme of ancient post buildings and facilities, friends in the postal industry, express delivery industry, and transportation industry can come here to worship at the Horse Temple.

Yucheng Post Station
The Yucheng Post Station in Gaoyou is now a World Heritage Site, a national 4A-level tourist attraction, and a national key cultural relics protection unit. It is the 'living fossil' of China's post stations, the largest and best-preserved ancient post station, and a post-transmission building left over from the Ming Dynasty. The current admission fee is 5 yuan. You can enter Nanmen Street from any small road across the street, and Yucheng Post Station is in the middle of Nanmen Street. The post station is relatively large in scale, with a drum tower above the gate, which also serves as a watchtower. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the place where goods were received and detained at that time. The two rooms behind are where the horsemen and other personnel rest. On the right is the place for watering horses, and many old objects are still preserved. The left side is now the display area of Jingdong Logistics, which is also a combination of ancient and modern. The building is well preserved, but the gate is a bit messy.

Communication hub of the Su-Wan Canal | Gaoyou South Gate Street (1315)
| Gaoyou South Gate Street (1315). South Gate Street, located outside the south gate of Gaoyou ancient city in Jiangsu Province, was the most prosperous historical and cultural block of Gaoyou city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The street was built in the Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and prospered in modern times. It is a true communication hub of the Li River and the Grand Canal, connecting Su and Wan areas.
