Friendly reminder: The shuttle bus to Shanghai also stops at Shanghai Long-distance Passenger Transport South Station, the price is 17 yuan, but my friend told me not to take it, because although the price is cheaper, it will stop at Hongqiao, and passengers will get off at high speed on the road (if it is illegal, it will be another word). Sometimes the driver will go to refuel, which will delay the time. The journey of four and a half hours will often drag on to five and a half hours.

On April 1st, the Orange Crystal Hotel was less than 5 meters from the West Gate Station of Bus No.51 and No.88 of Yangzhou Municipal Government Store, and the European retro decoration in the lobby of the Orange Hotel was rich in colors and looked very profound. The lounge area of the hall is very distinctive, and the strong European retro style makes it look like a private room.

The high backrest of the seat is a bright spot. If you take a few photos here, you will think that you have gone abroad to classical Europe. Art on the wall There is also a gun in Bo Gu's box ~ What a remix art!

orange hotel superior big bed room: the big bed about two meters wide is very soft and comfortable, and the linen is clean and close to the skin. The bedside is a mirror image design

Check in Dongguan Street Store of Yangzhou Donglai Inn: Yangzhou Bus Terminal, also known as West Railway Station, is close to Yangzhou Railway Station. There are tourist buses to Slender West Lake, Geyuan and other scenic spots. Get off at Geyuan when you check in, and walk less than 1 meters to the archway of the food street. It's easy to find.

Located on the side of the archway at the street corner of Dongguan Street, a two-story antique building and a low bungalow at Dongguan Street are somewhat unusual but eye-catching.

Gourmet Accommodation

Hanging red lanterns add a lot of joy and warmth to the inn.

The bed less than two meters is neat but not soft and economical, and the room accessories are antique.

If you can see such antique buildings, theatres and sapphire blue sky from the window of your residence, will you feel a good mood and delicious food?

It's just the tip of your tongue that comes to your mind. This is my impression of Yangzhou cuisine. Serve two famous products first, and then talk over dinner later.

Yangzhou Boiled Dried Silk

Yangzhou Steamed Bun

After staying at the Orange Crystal Hotel in Yangzhou, we will go to Yangzhou City and experience Yangzhou as a leisurely city for the first time along the ancient Grand Canal of the moat.

If you want to know the history of Yangzhou, the moat is just like the blood in this museum in Yangzhou. Only with it can Yangzhou have the beauty of spiritual flexibility.

There are such automatic bicycle rental points in many places in Yangzhou City (there are also many by the moat, so you can ride it back to the hotel when you are tired) to facilitate tourists to ride in Yangzhou.

There are buildings along the river, such as Tianning Temple, where you can pray for blessings for free.

The moat was once an oriental commercial port where Chinese and foreign merchants entered and exited during the Tang Dynasty, and it was rich. According to reports, when Emperor Yangdi brought 24 beautiful women to watch the moon, the local rich people dug a small river around the city to welcome them, connecting Slender West Lake and going straight to Beijing and Hangzhou. This is the former life of the canal-the moat.

Walking leisurely along the river, the air is fresh, and the scenery is one step at a time.

On the way back, I happened to meet the Yangzhou physical store of Tongcheng Tourism, and the intimacy came to me.

You can also visit Siwangting, an ancient landmark building in Yangzhou, which is only two stops away from the hotel bus.

As the sun sets, we come to the east gate of Slender West Lake, ready to watch the live Jiangnan garden performance in the evening-a moonlight night on the riverside * beautiful Yangzhou.

The warmth of sunset outside the east gate of Slender West Lake, the performance enters from the east gate of Slender West Lake and starts at 7:3 pm. You can order Yangzhou food outside the east gate first.

There is a Fudi Hotel opposite the road outside the East Gate. The food there is good. It is all local specialties, nutritious but not light, but still very tasty. The price is affordable and the weight is sufficient. If you enjoy delicious food with your lover in the open-air sunset, there will be birds singing and flowers singing, squirrels coming and a wonderful dinner.

When the lights are on, it's especially pleasant to enjoy a must-see performance in Yangzhou.

At night, all the flowers in Slender West Lake seem to be colored and dazzling.

The tulips in the Woods are quietly blooming.

Immersed in the fireworks-filled real-life garden performance in the south of the Yangtze River-Moonlit Night on the Spring River * Beautiful Yangzhou: The powerful trumpets broke the silence of the lake, and dozens of giant sails breaking the surface, amid stormy waves, showed that Emperor Yangdi climbed to the top and overlooked the great achievements of the Sui Dynasty. For a time, flags and sails shone, and the city was prosperous from south to north. (Grand Canal Scene)

The graceful figures of seven musicians are outlined in the night and dotted in the landscape. * * * With a euphemistic and long "Moonlit Night on a Spring River", it depicts the beautiful scenery of the world.

When the feeling is strong, the musicians start to sing one song after another, playing with water mist, and engrave it into a "Beautiful Women in Yuefang" in absolute beauty. This is "the spring tide in Lian Haiping, the bright moon on the sea * * * tide; It' s thousands of miles with the waves, and there is no moon in the riverside. "

(The Fearless Hero Scene) When the Qing soldiers went south, the country was in danger. Shi Kefa, the minister of the Ministry of War, flew onto the horse and stepped on the water. Facing the siege of 1 people, he did not flinch, and took up his sword and chopped countless enemies.

There was no choice but to bombard the city, leaving tears in the sky, which fell on the hero's loyal and brave body, and the sky was dyed red with blood ...

The "Jasmine" played by Yu Di dulcimer sounded, and a group of girls dressed in colorful clothes turned into graceful flowers, smiling and charming! (A bustling scene)

Fireworks are in full bloom, the stars are shining brightly, Yangzhou City is drunk, and you won't sleep tonight! Moonlit Night on the Spring River ~ A must-see live performance in Yangzhou!

After the performance, you can take bus No.51 at Wutingqiao Station near the East Gate, and get off at Ximen Station at 7 stops. The Orange Crystal Hotel is reserved 5 meters away.

Sleep until you wake up naturally, and then go to Yangzhou Slender West Lake, where "two banks of flowers and willows all depend on the water, all the way up to the mountain". "There are six out of thirty West Lakes in the world", but the West Lake in Yangzhou is unique among the lakes with its delicate and graceful charm. Very worth experiencing. There are many buses across from the hotel. (Tickets: online reservation for 13 yuan is valid on the same day, but you won't recognize it when you go out)

Recommend a leisure roaming route: South Gate-Chunxiao in Changdi-Xuyuan-Xiaojinshan-Diaoyutai-Wuting Bridge-Baita-Xichuntai-24 Bridge-Jingxiang Bookstore-Wanhuayuan Dining-Zanhuating-Shibiliu-Jinquan Huayu. )

a winding lake with clear water and a warm duck prophet on the riverside.

Twenty-four Bridges: If only the Slender West Lake could be fully opened at night, you could really enjoy the artistic conception of "Twenty-four Bridges on a moonlit night, where can jade people teach flute playing?".

Wuting Bridge: the landmark of Yangzhou and the masterpiece of ancient bridge architecture in China. Known as the most beautiful bridge in China! The architectural style is both a show in the south and a hero in the north. Five pavilions are built on it, with four wings below, and 15 are distributed on the positive side of bridge opening. If it comes to the full moon night in May, each hole will be in January, and 15 full moons will be suspended in the water, competing to shine. If the boat is roaming, it is really pleasant.

Diaoyutai, formerly known as Blowing Platform, is the only place to turn around when visiting Slender West Lake. It's a place to play the strings of bamboo and silk. Qianlong used to fish here, and later generations changed it to Diaoyutai according to allusions.

Jingxiang Bookstore: located in the west of Zanhua Pavilion, it is a typical building with three brick houses in Qing Dynasty. This is the lacquer book of Jinnong, the head of the Eight Eccentric Men in Yangzhou. Here, the original painting is a semi-original, the pavilion is a semi-pavilion, and the beauty of the moon cave is only half. Breaking the routine is its characteristic. At the main entrance, there is an image couplet inscribed by Zheng Banqiao: Flying Tower in the sky and a half, among the bamboo trees in the study!

Lovers Tree

Flowing stone walls: one of the main scenes of ten thousand gardens. According to records, this is one of the 24 scenic spots on the Lake. Originally a villa of Xu Shiye, a salt merchant. The scenic spots are combined with rockeries and buildings, which is called "cong", that is, water is accumulated in high places and falls down to form a waterfall landscape. Qianlong came here for 22 years and was named "Shuizhuju".

I ate a Yangzhou fried rice in the scenic spot. I can't say whether it is authentic or not, but it tastes good.

Of course, the beauty of Slender West Lake can't be exhausted here, so you need to savor it. Slender West Lake Garden is famous for its beautiful natural scenery. Combining the south with the north, the Slender West Lake is thin and long, with a water surface of about 4 km and a width of less than 1 meters. A winding stream of water is like a brocade ribbon, which floats like a breeze, and when it is released, it is collected. Its famous gardens are scattered on both sides of a winding lake and clear water, just like a long scroll of Chinese painting.

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March. In addition to appreciating the beauty of Slender West Lake, it is also an indispensable treat to go to Dongguan Street to taste Yangzhou with the tip of your tongue. Of course, finding a residence near Dongguan Street is a compulsory course.

Leave Slender West Lake for Dongguan Street, Yangzhou Donglai Inn, where you will stay tonight, and then go to the night market to taste delicious food.

When you walk out of the gate, you can see the archway of Dongguan Old Street, and you can also see the endless night market on the rostrum of Dongguan Street.

The colorful old street

Flower-faced ice cream

Of course, it's the delicious food in Dongguan Old Street that prompted me to book here: crab-yellow baozi stuffed with glutinous rice balls, three-diced baozi, emerald steamed dumplings, Sixi glutinous rice balls, crab powder lion's head and Yangzhou dried silk noodles, which are delicious and classic in style. I think the most delicious is Yangzhou steamed stuffed bun.

Let's go into the time-honored brand and sit down, and talk about food culture while enjoying delicious food.

Sixi Tangyuan: What is Sixi? It means sesame, red bean paste, vibrant mustard and round pork belly! Sixi Tangyuan is not only a delicious food, but also a manifestation of the traditional reunion culture with deep feelings. Personally, it tastes good.

Boiled shredded pork: also known as boiled shredded pork in chicken sauce. The housekeeping dish, known as Huaiyang cuisine, is a refreshing and nutritious dish. The raw material is mainly Huaiyang square stem, and the requirements for knife workers are extremely fine. It tastes appetizing. Personally, I feel nothing more than this. There is no unusual beauty in the legend, and I never tire of eating.

stewed crab powder lion's head: It is said that when Emperor Yangdi came to Yangzhou, he saw the "sunflower chopped meat" made of huge meatballs, which felt absolutely exquisite, just like the head of a lion, so he was given the name lion's head, which was fat but not greasy and melted in his mouth. (Personally, I feel that this dish is average. It may be that the braised lion head eaten in Sichuan is bigger, more delicious and more delicious. The price of one in 1 yuan is not cheap. In Sichuan, 1 yuan can eat at least four, hehe! ) of course, if you haven't tasted it, you should try it. This is called eating when in Rome!

Of course, there is also a calligraphy and painting den in the old street. If you are interested, you might as well go to fine products.

Old streets and alleys also have a lot of characteristic scenery, which looks exquisite and retro, but there is no lack of fashion.

Do you think you can drink wine casually if you put it in the alley like this?

When it comes to eating in Yangzhou, of course, we should mention the old saying that "water is wrapped in bags in the morning and skin is wrapped in water at night", which vividly reflects the pleasant life that Yangzhou people will enjoy.

crab-yellow soup dumpling, also called straw soup dumpling. The skin is thin and juicy, and the appearance is full. The fragrance of pork and the freshness of crab roe are combined into steaming steamed buns, which can be sucked through straws, making people unforgettable. Only blame yourself for having a small stomach!

San Ding Bao Zi: Diced chicken, diced meat and diced bamboo shoots are used as the main materials, with soft skin and delicious meat stuffing. With relish, endless aftertaste. Steamed buns in Yangzhou are the most impressive food for me. Great!

Friendly reminder: If you want to go to the watchtower of Dongguan Old Street overlooking the old city, you must hurry before 7 pm, because you can't get up after closing the door. (Free visit)

The north and south sides of Guandong Street are covered with alleys leading to the whole city. There are many stories in the alleys, and you can walk into one casually, and you can go through the history of Yangzhou City and taste the thick atmosphere of the city.

Yangzhou's noodles are also very distinctive, such as dumpling noodles, long fish noodles, spinach and pork liver noodles, which are fresh in the soup. You might as well try them. Although they are not heavy flavors, that's what you want.

There are many special snacks in the old street that can be taken away as gifts, such as the old Yang Yi Shan Su, which was imperial at that time. Now it's delicious!

Girls who love beauty may rarely know Xie Fuchun's name. This is the first makeup in China! The birthplace of Yangzhou powder culture!

Of course, Dai Chunlin is also very famous now, and he is likely to rival Xie Fuchun.

Xie Fuchun's street is the place where he ate steamed buns last night. Both Yechun and Fuchun Tea House can taste authentic tastes.

There are also many characteristic fashion shops in the old street. For example, when this corner meets meow, the cats all stand at the door in the morning, as if welcoming guests.

Old streets can't be separated from old houses, so there are fewer and fewer nostalgic window grilles now.

You can come to Fuyuan Pavilion to pray for blessings. This is a ginkgo tree that has been around for nearly 4 years. Ginkgo biloba is the national tree of China and a living fossil in the plant kingdom. Here you can pray for longevity, harmony and family happiness.

Yangzhou, which is covered with water in the morning and covered with skin in the water at night, left a deep impression, and then the Yangzhou food on my tongue and my heart attracted my stomach. I tasted Yangzhou on my tongue and came to Dongguan Old Street!

I ate Yangzhou steamed stuffed bun again in the morning, and it still has a long aftertaste. Then leave the inn and stroll around the garden in the late Qing Dynasty. Geyuan is one of the representatives of Yangzhou gardens, and it is also one of the four famous gardens in China. Here, we also stopped by the Flower Bureau, the most romantic block in the ancient city of Yangzhou ...

There is no discount on the Internet for the ticket of Geyuan 45 yuan. Geyuan is located on the south bank of the moat in the north of the city, close to Dongguan Street. It was built on the basis of the former site of the Ming "Shouzhi Garden" during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a private garden in the south of the Yangtze River in the style of front house and backyard. It is reported that it covers an area of about 24, square meters, with a large scale and strict layout, and is the masterpiece of Yangzhou classical garden art. Now it is a world cultural heritage.
