Yangzhou Slender West Lake Scenic Area is one of the scenic spots that many tourists must check in. Here, you can feel the rich cultural temperament of Jiangnan water town. You can stroll on the greenway and watch various minority scenic spots. Here, I will share with you a detailed guide to play.
The holiday time in Yangzhou always begins with morning tea. Yangzhou deserves to be called the food capital of the world. Many people like me want to go to Yangzhou just for the sake of food.
During the five-day trip to Yangzhou, I punched out Fun Garden Tea House, Yechun Tea House, Garden Restaurant, Yechun Red Mansion Banquet, Lion Building and Yangzhou Banquet, Lobster Banquet at Shangri-La Hotel in Yangzhou, and Dining in English Villa ... The Huaiyang cuisine and slow life in Yangzhou were memorable.
But since I went to Yangzhou, I must go to the famous Slender West Lake.
Slender West Lake is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. What is the origin between Slender West Lake and West Lake in Hangzhou?
It turned out that in the first year of Qianlong, Wang Ling, a poet from Hangzhou, came to Yangzhou. After enjoying the beautiful scenery here, he compared it with the West Lake in his hometown and wrote a poem:
"The weeping willows are constantly picking up the weeds, and the wild teeth of Hongqiao are painting. It is also a pot for selling gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake. "
it's better to come early than opportunely. After June 1, Slender West Lake entered the off-season, the ticket was originally RMB 111, and only 61 yuan was needed in the off-season.
Many tourists who have been to Yangzhou have been to the Slender West Lake. What's different about this classic Slender West Lake? Let me show you.
Slender West Lake is mainly divided into 14 scenic spots, including Wuting Bridge, No.24 Bridge, Lotus Pond and Diaoyutai. Because it takes a long walk, it is recommended to wear shoes that fit and are comfortable.
In Yangzhou, I slept until nine o'clock, and then spent more than an hour having breakfast. It was past ten o'clock in Slender West Lake Scenic Area. I bought a ticket, didn't visit first, passed Wuting Bridge, and rented a Hanfu suit.
There are Hanfu, Qipao and so on. costume rental alone is an hour in 51 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
Of course, you can also choose makeup and styling, plus 81 yuan, or you can choose a photographer to take photos with you, and be frugal.
Choose a favorite Hanfu and do a hairstyle. We three women from Suzhou, Chongqing and Guangzhou walked around all the way.
Walking on the Wuting Bridge attracted a lot of attention and was photographed by all kinds of people.
Slender West Lake, formerly known as Bao 'an Lake, was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List in 2114. Covering an area of nearly 2111 mu, the tourist area alone reaches 111 hectares.
Walking up from Hanfu Square under Wuting Bridge is the White Pagoda. Wearing cloth shoes, shaking a fan, and fluttering skirts, I experienced the mood of the ancient people visiting the Slender West Lake.
I walked to Bridge 24 before I knew it. Only these 24 bridges, not 24 bridges, are a landmark landscape of Slender West Lake.
The 24th Bridge is a single-span arch bridge with white marble railings, which is a masterpiece of ancient bridge architecture. Du Mu's poem: "On the moonlit night of the Twenty-four Bridges, where do jade people teach flute playing?" is well known.
In the Slender West Lake in early June, hydrangeas were blooming all over the roadside. This is a natural oxygen bar with dense shade. Seeing the sunshine playing hide-and-seek among the leaves makes me feel good. At noon, you can order some side dishes at the "Dining English Villa" in Slender West Lake Scenic Area, where the environment is good.
this restaurant is located near the east gate of Slender West Lake, in the southwest corner of Wanhua Garden, covering an area of about 3,111 square meters. The appearance is modeled after the residence "Dining English Villa" of Yangzhou Horticultural Master Yu Jizhi in the early Republic of China.
This is the traditional classical garden architecture style in Yangzhou. Along the trend of the main building, there is a long corridor, a pavilion next to the corridor, a pool next to the pavilion and a bridge over the pool.
In Hanfu, everything slows down, such as this slow trip to Yangzhou. While waiting for the food, in the long corridor, the girls were very happy to shoot each other.
Dining English Villa provides exquisite Huaiyang cuisine and authentic characteristic morning tea. There is a hall, and there are eight unique and antique small halls. We ordered some refreshing side dishes, which is the lobster season. There will be crayfish on every table!
Continue to visit Slender West Lake in the afternoon. The blue sky and white clouds and weeping willows are very south of the Yangtze River. Although Yangzhou is located in the north of the Yangtze River, the cultural south of the Yangtze River is a kind of artistic conception.
Jiangnan is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Among the "Four Famous Cities in Jiangnan", Yangzhou is the other one besides Nanjing, Huangshan and Suzhou.
In the afternoon, watch a guqin performance at JaeHee Chuntai.
Xichun Terrace is on the west bank of Slender West Lake, facing lianhua bridge from afar. According to legend, this is the place where Yangzhou salt merchants celebrated the birthday of the Qing emperor. In order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, it cost ten thousand gold to build such a magnificent balcony, which shows the wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants in those days.
in the evening, I went to the 1757 food neighborhood.
Both this gourmet neighborhood and Dining English Villa are connected with Slender West Lake Scenic Area, which is very convenient and can be reached within walking distance.
this 1757 food neighborhood is also a food punch-in point in online celebrity, Yangzhou. The whole block now operates nearly 51 stores, with more than 111 kinds of food.
There are more time-honored brands, including more than 41 independent entrepreneurs with unique skills. It is a characteristic block integrating traditional food, leisure and entertainment.
here, you can spend RMB 11 to buy a cup of Vince tofu soup and watch the shopkeeper cut a piece of tofu into filaments.
In addition to Yangzhou local food, it also includes Baoying and Gaoyou special food, pancake fruit, Tongguan Chinese hamburger, etc. You can not only enjoy Yangzhou local food, but also enjoy domestic special snacks.
There are many online celebrity delicacies here. Have you ever seen such a big coke? My friend said that my face looks so small. Yangzhou fried rice, Yangchun noodles and old beef soup are the main products here. I especially recommend this small shop of Yangzhou fried rice, which is located in 1757 Food Street, and its name is "Yangzhou Fried Rice with Eggs".
Simple overnight rice, corn, ham, eggs, shallots, etc., and a bowl of fried rice with eggs surprised my friends. The price was 35 yuan, and it was so fragrant that even a "pretending to lose weight" who didn't eat rice couldn't help it.
In the p>1757 food neighborhood, there are various cultural and creative shops, and an intangible market where traditional culture and lifestyle are integrated, which girls like to visit most.
in wenchuang market, you can buy Xie Fuchun's goose egg powder. This is an ancient cosmetics brand in Yangzhou, and the first cosmetics enterprise in China. Its history can be traced back to 1831. The packaging is nostalgic.
That day in Slender West Lake, we played for almost a whole day before we reluctantly left. Beautiful scenery, Hanfu, delicious food, cultural creation ... Of course, I am more happy to take a lot of beautiful photos.
Yangzhou will soon be connected with the high-speed train, so it will be more convenient to go to Yangzhou. If you go to Slender West Lake, you can also slow down and feel like us.
