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.

Slender West Lake in Yangzhou

Slender West Lake is located in the northwest of Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province. It's a beautiful park with gardens, temples and pagodas. 🦢🏞️🏯 The history is also very interesting and many sings are biliangual in Chinese and English. It is known for its narrow waterways (so the name slander) that connect gardens, bridges and the area's numerous picturesque spots.

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.

Ge Garden: The mountain light of four seasons is condensed in the stone, and the shadow of bamboo is swaying with the cool autumn

Ge Garden, named after bamboo and famous for its stones, is the oldest and best preserved salt merchant garden in Yangzhou. If 'March fireworks in Yangzhou' is the endorsement written by Li Bai for Yangzhou, then 'the best place in the west of bamboo' is the promotion given by Jiang Kui to Ge Garden. The lush green bamboo separated by a wall separates the hustle and bustle of Dongguan Street and soothes the anxiety and impatience brought by my hurried journey. 'Prefer to eat without meat, rather than live without bamboo', the owner of Ge Garden, Huang Yingtai, cherishes and loves bamboo, even changed his name to 'Zhiyun', and planted his residence full of lush bamboo. Naming the garden 'Ge' is not only a clever take on the charm of the Chinese character and shape of bamboo; the three strokes in the painting also represent the perfect realm of the three fullness of fortune, salary, and longevity. This is also the most famous classical garden in Yangzhou besides Slender West Lake - if you don't come to Ge Garden, you haven't been to Yangzhou. Four Seasons Rockery: A mountain has many seasons, and a season is in many mountains Chinese freehand brushwork is committed to integrating thousands of weather in a square inch. A long scroll of the four seasons is also condensed into an eternal real scene by Ge Garden. 'Spring mountain is light and like a smile, summer mountain is green and like a drop, autumn mountain is clear and like makeup, winter mountain is bleak and like sleep', and the winter and spring mountains are separated by a wall. Through the hole in the west wall of the winter mountain, you can glimpse the stalagmites at the entrance of the garden outside - winter is here, will spring be far away? Admiring the autumn mountain in autumn is just right: the craftsman cleverly borrows the texture and unique color of the newly built yellow stone, and constructs a rugged and changeable three-dimensional landscape in the square inch of the world. Standing on the Buddha Yun Pavilion on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the autumn mountain below, and you can look far away to the Slender West Lake to the north. The mountain is also planted with ancient cypresses, red maples and other colorful and angular plants, which are commensurate with the handsome mountain body, making this live 'Autumn Mountain Sunset' picture always new. Baoshan Building: Don't go out and the sky is spring, and the dust horses are all resting The slender Baoshan Building embraces the summer and autumn mountains with a long corridor, hence the name. The garden has the saying of 'mustard sumeru' and 'pot middle world', and the title of Baoshan Building 'Pot Sky from Spring' also means to see the big from the small. It is like a time and space tunnel, collecting spring, summer, autumn and winter, heaven and earth, day and moon: climbing the building and looking, you can overlook the clear pool and mountain stone flowers and trees under the building, as far as the entrance of the spring mountain; to the north, you can look far away. Yangzhou city scenery, hear the voices of people in the market; walking along the long corridor in the building, there are exquisite and transparent summer and majestic and heavy autumn within a hundred steps. Wan Bamboo Garden: The green shadow shakes the sky and the blue clouds are low, and the bamboo dances with the wind and the rhyme is long Bamboo is the spirit of Ge Garden. In Wan Bamboo Garden, there are now more than 60 kinds of ornamental bamboo and more than 20,000 poles. There is a pavilion in the depths of the bamboo forest, named after Wang Wei's poem 'Bamboo Pavilion'. The couplet in the pavilion 'For the heavy frost festival, can be empty to respond to the heart of things' also reflects Huang Zhiyun's love for the bamboo's spirit. Standing in the hexagonal pavilion surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, waiting for the breeze to pass through the bamboo tips, the bamboo shadows swaying, listening to the clear and unique sound of the bamboo leaves, I can't help but think: when the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest' in the Wei and Jin Dynasties lived under the bamboo and sang happily, Is it so comfortable and hearty? 'Spring, summer, autumn and winter mountain light is different, the wind is clear and the dew bamboo shadow is colorful', come to Ge Garden in autumn, you can enjoy the fragrant osmanthus, golden ginkgo, and fiery maple's strong autumn rhyme at the same time. 📍'Ge Garden': No. 10 Yanfu East Road, Guangling District 💰Tickets: 30r  Ge Garden

As the saying goes: Fireworks in March Yangzhou-Yangzhou one-day tour can also be very enjoyable Yangzhou University weekend suddenly thought of going to Yangzhou for a circle, thinking about the book, finished the high-speed rail ticket, and went down The high-speed train took a taxi to Yangzhou University.

Liu Xie Kee noodle restaurant (now is the net red noodle restaurant) Walk over Yangzhou University to go to lunch, the small supermarket on the road encounters the net red yogurt, eats chocolate sorbet, through the heart When I went to the fat-intestine noodle shop recommended by my friend, the fat intestines seemed to be cleaned very cleanly. In fact, I still like to eat the fat meat inside. I bite the skin and the fat oil in the mouth to give each other their own charm, which is wonderful. Their crab yellow meatballs are also one of the characteristics. A gentle crab yellow juice can not help but flow out, the ball is elastic and chewy, the noodle shop is not big, and it is full of people. Park I don't like the bustling downtown, I am going to go to the park in the afternoon for a circle, a garden-world cultural heritage, there are green bamboos, come back to view the information, the original The owner of the garden especially likes bamboo, and the name of the garden is also bamboo. The garden is filled with large pieces of emerald green bamboo. Walking inside is a happy and happy couple.

The grandmother of the child, the couple walks. Dessert Shop The garden is coming out for a walk, passing through a regular underground corridor, and the outside world, outside the sun, the bottom of the heart is cool. I met a private dessert shop for a while, a couple opened together, the decoration style is simple, there is no complicated color, the overall white, the wall is full of paintings, sofa cotton, bookcase wood, balcony It is covered with green climbing plants, spider plants, etc., and has a dining table with a layer of misty white gauze, which is separated from the outside guests by a low-key, two floors upstairs and downstairs.

A famous Chinese private garden

The garden was easy to get inside with the ticket buying process being very quiet and welcoming. There is also lots of parking nearby. Inside the garden there is lots to explore. I like how much of the building there is to explore with rooms to show off the most recent residents living conditions. You can see the masters bedrooms and study room alongside some of the rooms built for entertaining. The garden was a private residence and garden from the late Qing dynasty for the He family. There are lots of signs around the museum which are bilingual. There is also a lot of staff dressed up in traditional costume which adds to the experience.

Strolling through Daming Temple to admire the cherry blossoms

Setting off from the north gate of Slender West Lake, it's a quick journey to Daming Temple, the foremost temple in Eastern Huai. The incense burns brightly, and the devout come to pray. Pay homage to Master Jianzhen, gaze upon the Qiling Pagoda, and take a look at the relics of the Fifth Spring in the world. Have a pleasant time. Leaving Daming Temple and heading north, you'll reach the bustling Jianzhen Avenue, where white cherry blossoms bloom in abundance, beautiful and fragrant. It's a stroke of 'cherry' good fortune. In March, the cherry blossoms are in bloom; Yangzhou is really fun to visit.

The Millennium Ancient Temple | Daming Temple in Yangzhou

Daming Temple, located on the middle peak of Shugang in the northwest suburbs of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, was named for its initial construction during the Daming years of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty (457-464 AD). Over the past 1500 years, the temple's name has undergone many changes, and the temple we see now was built during the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, when Master Jianzhen served as the abbot of Daming Temple, he traveled to Japan to teach Buddhist scriptures and Chinese culture, making Daming Temple an important ancient temple in the history of Sino-Japanese Buddhist and cultural relations. The Daming Temple is divided into three parts: the central part is the main temple architecture, the eastern part is the Qiling Pagoda, and the western part is the garden-style backyard. The main temple buildings in the central area of the scenic spot are divided into three routes running from south to north. Along the central axis from south to north are the archway, the mountain gate, and the Mahavira Hall. The western route mainly features Ouyang Xiu; to the south is the Pingshan Hall built by Ouyang Xiu when he was the governor of Yangzhou, and to the north is the Gulin Hall built by Su Dongpo when he held the same position. Further north is the Jianzhen Memorial Hall, with the Sutra Depository Tower to its east. The Qiling Pagoda in the eastern part was originally built by Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty to celebrate his birthday. The pagoda we see now is a reconstruction of the Sui Dynasty's pagoda, with 9 stories, housing Buddhist relics and a nanmu Buddha pagoda inside. Visitors can climb to the top of the pagoda to overlook the entire Daming Temple and gaze into the distance at the Slender West Lake. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall is the most important building in Daming Temple. Jianzhen traveled to Japan six times, bringing Chinese Buddhism and culture to Japan. He presided over the construction of the Toshodai-ji in Nara, Japan, and eventually passed away there. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall was built to mimic the style of Toshodai-ji. 📍Detailed address: No. 8, Pingshan Hall East Road, Hanjiang District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province 🚉Transportation strategy: {Get on at Yangzhou Railway Station}, take bus route You 1 to Daming Temple Station, walk for 5 minutes to reach. {Get on at Yangzhou East High-speed Railway Station}, take bus route You 3 to Pingshan Hall Ecological Parking Lot Station, walk for 5 minutes to reach. {Get on at Jiangdu Railway Station}, take bus route 99 to Wanfuzha East Station, transfer to bus route You 3 to Pingshan Hall Ecological Parking Lot Station, walk for 5 minutes to reach. 🕙Business hours: 08:00-16:30 Ticket price: 45 yuan

Yangzhou | 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Guide: The Most Authentic Experience to Avoid Pitfalls

Yangzhou | 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Guide: The Most Authentic Experience to Avoid Pitfalls||| For a detailed graphic version of the Yangzhou travel guide, you can check out my previous videos. 📍Accommodation: First choice is near Wenchang Pavilion, close to Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, and He Garden. Economy hotels cost about five to six hundred during holidays. However, if the hotel is next to Dongguan Street, it's recommended to take a taxi on the adjacent main road to avoid traffic jams. 🚗Transportation: Mainly walking and taking taxis. Before going, I heard that the drivers' service attitude was not good, but in reality, all I met were fine, and I never encountered a situation where I couldn't get a taxi. However, taxi fares are more expensive than I thought, only slightly cheaper than Shanghai. When I went to play in the neighboring town of Zhenjiang, I found the taxi fares to be very cheap. 🍚Food: Jiangjiaqiao: Avoid this place, it's particularly bad in my opinion, with a strong taste of rapeseed oil overpowering the freshness of the meat, and the noodles are not chewy, but it's very cheap. Xiao Zhun Shi: Four dishes for over 200, lion's head meatballs and dry silk are mediocre, Yangzhou fried rice is dry and tasteless, crab tofu only has the taste of rapeseed oil. Yechun: Average, not bad but nothing surprising. Fuyu Dessert: An internet-famous shop, just tastes like normal dessert, mainly good for taking pictures. 7 Eat 8 Bar: Not bad, on the pricier side, four dishes for 382, scallion roasted opium fish is delicious, Yangzhou fried rice is also good. Maybe I didn't do my homework on food this time, tasty Yangzhou dishes are either hard to find or expensive. Play: Grand Canal Museum: A must-visit, very enjoyable, interesting, even a quick visit takes 4 hours, it can get very hot with many people, wear light clothing, not recommended for those with particularly poor physical strength. Ge Garden: Ticket price 48 yuan. The garden is more beautiful than the residence, which is more common in large households, but it has many rooms. He Garden: Ticket price 48 yuan Opposite to Ge Garden, the residence is more attractive than the garden, perhaps because I went when nothing was blooming, but the residence is indeed very distinctive, a blend of Chinese and Western styles. Before visiting Ge Garden and He Garden, it's best to learn some history and anecdotes, and if possible, get a guide, you can finish the tour in under an hour. Slender West Lake: Ticket price 100 yuan Recommended to enter from the south gate and exit from the north gate, go in the afternoon to catch the sunset, and if willing, wait for the night view. To save time and energy, take a boat after entering the south gate, electric boat 50 per person, about 15 minutes, get off at the 24 Bridge and walk back, exit from the south gate Pishi Street: An internet-famous street, suitable for girls who like to take photos and check-in. Caiyi Street, Dongguan Street: I'm not very interested in such commercial streets, too many people, feels messy, not recommended to spend too much time browsing Wenchang Pavilion, Siwang Pavilion: Just take a glance while taking a taxi or when passing by nearby, they are just landmark buildings 🌟Summary: Still, as Li Bai said, 'to experience the fireworks in March in Yangzhou,' when the flowers haven't bloomed, Yangzhou always seems to lack something. Also, there are indeed many people, and the cost of living is not cheap. There's a high chance of hitting a bad Huaiyang cuisine restaurant, so do more homework before going.

In Yangzhou, I encountered the Potala Palace

【The Potala Palace Special Exhibition at the China Grand Canal Museum】Although I have visited the Potala Palace twice, the special exhibition held by the Grand Canal Museum and the Potala Palace Administration is still worth seeing. In fact, visiting the Potala Palace is quite similar to visiting the Forbidden City; the main focus is on the architecture, as well as the furnishings and decorations inside the halls. Most of the collections are not on display. This special exhibition at the Grand Canal Museum is considered to have brought together many rare treasures that are seldom seen, and many cultural relics that you wouldn't be able to see at the Potala Palace itself.

The Grand Canal Museum in Yangzhou is so magnificent

It is recommended that one must visit the museum at least once in a lifetime. I saw the Grand Canal Museum in the Southern Airlines magazine and have been longing to visit and see its beauty. It's really super huge; you can stroll around for a whole day. My feet were tired from all the walking. The Grand Canal Museum has moved the entire riverbed over. It displays riverbeds from different periods that have been moved from Henan. It's truly spectacular.

Yangzhou One-Day Tour Guide, Live Experience! Slender West Lake/Geyuan Garden/Grand Canal

Before the lunar March arrives, Yangzhou is already filled with the colors of spring. Magnolias, plum blossoms, peach blossoms, pear blossoms, they cover the trees and the city, and you can never take enough photos. The willow trees are freshly green, at their most beautiful moment. Photos taken on: March 19th One-day highlights: Grand Canal Museum - Dongguan Street/Geyuan Garden - Slender West Lake - Grand Canal Night Cruise 🎈Arrive at the Grand Canal Museum before 9 am, the museum opens at 9. It's quite large, with majestic architecture, and mainly three exhibition halls inside, which are history, boats, and an antique market street. It's very crowded, so you must book in advance (free of charge). Be sure to go early, we left at 10:20 and it was already very, very crowded. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk around and take pictures. 🎈After leaving the museum, take a taxi to Dongguan Street. This street is so-so, full of small shops. Have some snacks here and head straight to Geyuan Garden (located on Dongguan Street) 🎈Geyuan Garden: The ticket is 48 yuan. Inside, the bamboo forest and garden are beautiful, with a stunning magnolia tree. About 1 hour should suffice here. 🎈Slender West Lake: The daytime ticket is 100 yuan. Walk from Geyuan Garden to the south gate of Slender West Lake. The lake is extremely beautiful at this time, stay as long as you wish to enjoy the scenery. We entered from the south gate, walked north to the lake's plum grove, and exited from the west gate. It took about 2.5 hours, and there was still a large area we didn't get to, too tired to walk. 🎈Night Cruise on the Grand Canal: After exiting the west gate, go back to the hotel for a rest (Fairfield by Marriott, right across from the west gate). Then take a taxi to Dongguan Ancient Ferry. There are many food options here, have dinner, and then you can take a boat for a night cruise. We don't like boat rides, so we just walked along the riverbanks, enjoying the night view, which was also very nice. Photos: 2-10 Slender West Lake. 11-14 Geyuan Garden. 15-18 Grand Canal Museum
