The more famous scenic spots in Yangzhou: Slender West Lake, Ge Garden, and He Garden. Most people can visit Yangzhou in one day and then return home. In fact, Yangzhou is a beautiful city where the cultural landscape and the natural landscape complement each other. The natural landscape is more beautiful than the surrounding cities, especially in early spring, with pink willows, green willows, and rippling blue waves. The poem says: Fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March, and the fireworks refer to catkins. , it is most beautiful to go to Yangzhou in the season when catkins are flying. At the same time, the cultural landscape is rich: Ge Garden and He Garden have both beautiful scenery and deep cultural heritage. In addition, Shi Gong Temple, Daming Temple, Tianning Temple, Zhu Ziqing's former residence, Wang's Xiaoyuan, Xie Fuchun, etc. are all Stories left by history. Use 2 days to learn about this city, appreciate this city, pack your backpack, and travel in depth to Yangzhou on your own.
The scenic spots in Yangzhou are mainly in the old city. Through my own summary, I think the intersection of Yechun Teahouse is the best location: in addition to being convenient for drinking morning tea and eating soup dumplings, it is also within walking distance to the west. Slender West Lake, you can go east through Tianning Temple (free), Royal Pier (you can take a boat tour of Slender West Lake from here), and Shi Gong Temple to get to Geyuan. You don’t need to take a car to get to Geyuan. At the same time, because the cruise ship passes by, the river here is quite large. The beauty of the river, with green willows and red peach trees, occasional pavilions and pavilions, white stone railings and green water waves, is also a kind of enjoyment to walk along the river. There are several budget hotels such as Hanting, Home Inn, and Motel at this intersection. In addition, the buses at the door are also very convenient: No. 62 can go to the train station, and No. 61 (tourist line, fare is 1 yuan) can go to Slender West Lake and Daming Temple, and the next one goes through Geyuan, Dongguan Ancient Ferry, Shuangdong Street, and the Ancient Canal. Cruise ship terminal, Heyuan. Walk south from the intersection to Siwang Pavilion and Wenchang Pavilion. In addition, if you want to go to Zhenjiang after visiting Yangzhou, there are also buses to Zhenjiang here.
Since it is vacation, I wake up naturally in the morning and go straight to Yechun Tea House. The dishes here are the same all day long, regardless of breakfast and dinner, mainly Yangzhou specialties and various kinds of steamed buns. The main thing to eat in the morning is the large crab roe soup dumplings. They are very big, almost 15cm in diameter, with thin skin and full of soup. You can sip them gently with a straw. They are extremely delicious. After absorbing all the soup, open the bun and you will find the authentic crab roe and crab meat inside. Of course, the price is not cheap, 10 yuan each. In addition to the big soup dumplings, there are also various other types of dumplings to choose from. Depending on your preference, some are delicious and some are not used to it. In addition to steamed buns, you must order a cup of tea, whether it's Longjing or Biluochun. This is what Yangzhou people call: water in the skin in the morning. In the morning, I slowly drank tea and ate steamed buns, and took it easy until noon. There is also some boiled dried shredded noodles in the morning, which is considered a Yangzhou specialty, but it is said that it is more suitable to eat mixed dried shredded noodles in the morning. If two people plan to have a dinner, one portion of Yangzhou fried rice, one portion of large boiled dry shredded pork, one portion of crystal meat, plus a lion head for each person is enough. The portion is very large, and you can also eat all the famous Yangzhou dishes. Yechun has all these, but Yechun is a state-owned restaurant after all, so don’t expect too much from the service attitude.
Leave Yechun and walk west along the river. On the left is the river bank, with dark willows and flowers, and on the right is a flower and bird market, which makes me feel very comfortable. Not far away, we walked to the river bank above, and across the road was the gate of Slender West Lake. The ticket for Slender West Lake includes two parts: Slender West Lake and Bonsai Garden. What you see here is the door of the bonsai garden. If you go directly to the south gate of Slender West Lake, you have to turn back and usually don’t come here. But we don’t have to go back on this route. We can go through the bonsai garden to the south gate of Slender West Lake. If you have plenty of time, it's very leisurely to wander around here. It's like a city park. Local people come here for a morning walk. There are opera singers, erhu players, and Tai Chi practitioners. It's lined with flowers, willows, green water, bonsai, and occasionally you can see it in the river. Antique cruise ship. If you are pressed for time, there is no need to rush. You can just walk directly through the bonsai garden and exit through the other door. After exiting the bonsai garden, turn left and climb over the Dahong Bridge. On the right is the real gate of Slender West Hunan.
Slender West Lake is not a lake. It is actually the moat of ancient Yangzhou. However, due to its beautiful scenery and unique architecture, it is rare in the world. After entering the south gate, you have to walk 600 meters along the river with dark willows and bright flowers until you reach Xu Garden, where you will find rich cultural landscapes behind. Backpacking travel does not mean saving money, money should be used wisely. In Yangzhou, hiring a tour guide will be very worthwhile. From Xuyuan here, you can hire a beautiful tour guide to tell you all the way to the Twenty-four Bridges. There are many stories worth listening to. Other cities always like innovation, but Yangzhou adopts ism everywhere: Slender West Lake is named after West Lake instead of West Lake; the White Pagoda in the park is modeled after the Beihai White Pagoda in Beijing; and the story of Xiaojinshan comes from Jinshan Mountain in Zhenjiang. After hiring a tour guide, the reasons will become clear. At the same time, there are many scenic spots in this area, especially near Wuting Bridge. The tour guide will tell you that the photos look really different. Passing through Xuyuan, Diaoyutai, Wuting Bridge and finally to the Twenty-fourth Bridge, there is no need to mention the beautiful scenery along the way, and the various beautiful articles will not be detailed here.
After passing the Twenty-Four Bridge, enter Wanhua Garden. This is a newly opened garden. The scenery is worse than that of Slender West Lake itself, and the trees and grass are still relatively small. You can go shopping if you have time, otherwise just stroll out. After passing Wanhua Garden, exiting the Slender West Hubei Gate, walk along the road to the left, pass the Martyrs Cemetery, and arrive at Daming Temple.
The ancient pagoda of Daming Temple is very good, much more plain and simple than the jewels and jewels of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, but of course it is not as popular. However, the entire temple is very elegant, has many historical stories to follow, is covered by flowers and trees, and does not have such a strong commercial atmosphere. The ticket price is more expensive, 40 yuan. If you buy a pass, it is worth a visit.
