Best Time
March to June Li Bai said more than a thousand years ago, "Go to Yangzhou in March when the fireworks are in full bloom". Spring is the best season in central Jiangsu. At this time, peach blossoms, green willows and jonquils are in full bloom, cauliflowers are in full bloom in the palletized fields, and you can participate in countless folk activities.
July-August, you can cool off in the gardens under the green forest trees during the day, and at night, you can sit on the original boat and feel the breeze on the water of the Slender West Lake, the Ancient Canal, the Fenghuang River, and the Hao River up close.
September-October, melons and vegetables are in abundance, ginkgo biloba leaves are yellow, and the land of central Suzhou shows a magnificent and magnificent field of hope. Fish is fresh at this time of year, and there is an endless supply of fresh aquatic products along the way.
The wet and cold climate from November to February is not the best season to visit Yangzhou, but you may also encounter unique scenery. Some scenic spots are in off-season and accommodation is relatively cheap.
Eating in Yangzhou
Morning tea
With a straw, you can wash down the steaming crabmeat soup dumplings. Pork flavor and crabmeat smoked together. Memorable! Then eat Huaiyang essence in order. Sanding buns are Yangzhou's top brand. The noodles are fermented until soft and tough, with diced chicken, meat and bamboo shoots in the right proportions.
Also known as "Yangzhou's two best", the Jade Roasted Thousand Layer Oil Cake. The leaves are mixed with cooked lard and ham for filling, and the skin is thin and green; the cakes are divided into 64 layers, with alternating layers of sugar and oil; but it's even more amazing to notice the usual delicacies of dried plums and veggies.
Yangzhou people have a morning tea culture that rivals that of Guangzhou. A plate of hot dried silk, a few pieces of dim sum, a cup of green tea, even if you're busy, you'll have morning tea first. The "Three Chuns" (Fu Chun, Ye Chun, **** and Chun) were the favorite places of the old Yangzhou people. You have to get up "early" for morning tea, preferably before 6:30am, otherwise you will have to wait in a very long line. Usually, the morning tea ends at 10am.
Fuchun Tea House
No. 35, Deshengqiao; 6:30-13:30, 15:45-19:30
A century-old restaurant representing traditional Yangzhou cuisine. Fu Chun began as a flower bureau, followed by the prosperity of a teahouse, which developed into a Huai Yang feast. The fact that Fu Chun has become the representative brand of Yangzhou buns is a legendary history in itself. Although there are too many similar teahouses in Yangzhou, dining at the old Fu Chun teahouse is the choice of many people and a must-visit place for tour groups. Whether it's the dim sum for morning tea or the dishes for the main meal, it's worth sitting down and taking your time.
Ye Chun Tea House
3 Fengshe Street; 7:00~22:00

Outside the window is a cruise ship at the Royal Pier. Outside the window, steaming crab meat soup dumplings, Yangzhou's unique serenity reflected between the weeping willows. 755-79000 years of records of a hundred years of teahouse, and now only Ye Chun is left. Yangzhou people love this place not only because the morning tea is good, but also because the whole teahouse is built near the river. Pavilions and pavilions fall between small bridges and streams, providing a more comfortable view for dining. Now, even though Ye Chun has been rebuilt to be more modern and has opened chain stores in many locations, the store is still a favorite. It gets so crowded every weekend that locals can't even get in.
Thin-skinned Water Tea House
No. 153 Dongguan Street; 6:00 to 20:00
Yangzhou people also call morning tea "water bags. It's hard to hear Yangzhou songs in Yangzhou city. In addition to watching "Yangzhou Boat Record" on Yangzhou TV at 9:00 p.m., you can also go to Bao Wei Water Tea House. At 9:30 a.m., it becomes one of the few places in the city to hear Yangzhou opera live. Besides that, it is one of the few places that sells Huaiyang cuisine among the many food stores on Dongguan Street. The lion's head and boiled shredded pork are both available, and you can pass the test even if you're not wowed. Serving slows down when there are a lot of tourists.
Eating morning tea is a new way to open a new restaurant.
In Yangzhou, so
Yangzhou, "the first building of salt merchants," Lu's Salt Merchants' Mansion, engaged in catering when the attractions are not open, providing three meals a day (7:00 ~ 10:00, 11:30 ~ 14:00, 17:00 ~ 20:00), of which 70 yuan to serve morning tea, dining free of admission! .
Wutang Western Restaurant (7:00~9:30) is located at South Street Bookstore (309 Dongguan Street). It's really not cheap for a $128 salt vendor. However, it's an alternative experience to eat at the restaurant of Xiaolingshan, one of the "Poetry Societies" mentioned in the Yangzhou Review. The street bookstore used to be the former residence of "Yangzhou Ermaina" and houses the "Xiangfu" boat fish, which has the same name as the "Qiangui" fish in Slender West Lake. It is also a 24-hour bookstore.
Interesting Garden Teahouse (No. 48 Slender West Lake Road; 7:00~14:00, 17:00~20:30) The "Four Bridges and Smoke and Rain" in the Interesting Garden was originally one of the 24 scenic spots in Slender West Lake. Now the Huaiyang Cuisine experience store as Yangzhou hospitality open for business, the environment and comfort is not general morning tea store can be compared. 68 yuan state banquet level morning tea portion is not small, exquisite taste. If there are fewer people, zero is more appropriate.
Lunch and dinner
:Eat in the morning, only hungry at noon. But dinner time to go to the restaurant, so you can not miss Yangzhou authentic Huaiyang cuisine. Crab lion head is fat but not greasy, loose but not fluffy.
Siwen tofu, 1.5-centimeter-thick dried bean curd sliced into 24 pieces with well-defined roots, and boiled dried tofu shreds, with thousands of strands of thin tofu threads floating between them. These famous delicacies test their knife skills.
Yangzhou chefs create three sets of ducks with unique flavors, boned and stuffed with wild duck, then boned and stuffed with domestic duck. There's also stewed chub head, with tender fish and thick broth.
By this time, there was definitely no room in my stomach, but I remembered the world-famous Yangzhou fried rice. Now Yangzhou fried rice has reached industry standards, with eggs, scallops, shrimp, ham and string beans missing. I want to eat the most authentic fried rice, and also the century-old restaurant Caigenxiang (No. 115 Guoqing Road).
Little Lion Building
No. 458 Wenchang Middle Road; 11:00~14:00,17:30~21:00
For hand-chopped lion's head, go to Little Lion Building. The lion's head here is made with a knife "sunflower chopping meat". The best two-fisted lion's head, moderate fat, containing salted duck eggs, melt in your mouth. The owner is a famous post 80s chef in Huaiyang. The dining environment is relaxed, but be prepared for a long wait.
Yangzhou Attractions
Garden
In the prosperous past of Yangzhou, when officials and businessmen with the dream of "making a fortune and returning to the state on a crane" built their own mansions, they blended the exquisite elegance of the Jiangnan gardens with the luxury of the northern imperial city, and the Yangzhou gardens, which were a combination of both northern and southern styles, came into being.
George Gerhardt, the founder of Yangzhou, said: "I'm very proud of you, Mr. Gerhardt.
Ge Yuan
No. 10 Yan Dong Road; admission is 45 yuan in high season, 30 yuan in low season.
7:15~17:30 in peak season, 7:15~17:00 in off-season.
YiYuan really lives up to its name, along with the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Summer Resort in Chengde, and the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, known as the "Four Famous Gardens of China". Walking through the four seasons rockery garden, the mountains are planted with bamboo and stalagmites, creating a "spring after the rain" of spring scenery; north, is the green and gray Taihu Lake stone and water lilies reflected in the summer scene; connected to the yellow stone is characterized by hard, brown, planting red maple presenting the autumn scenery.
But the best part is the minimal winter scene. The crystal clear Xuan Shi stacks are like unmelted snow. The 24 wind measuring holes cut into the back wall of the stacked stones allow the penetrating stream to blow a whistling northwesterly wind effect, which, along with the weeping plums, pushes the winter scene to the limit. Two holes next to the winter garden looking out are bamboo shoots in the spring garden. Winter to spring, the four seasons, they are strolling down in a circle, really let the garden owner's chest for a shock.
Four seasons rockery is "China's unique case". It is highly recommended that you visit this park. The design of the small garden has many interesting details. If you have a tour guide, you can better understand the beauty of the garden.
Male
There are so many poems describing Yangzhou, for example, Zhu Ziqing said, "For those who have never been to Yangzhou and have read some Tang poems, Yangzhou is as beautiful as a mirage in his heart".
This used to be the Security River in northern Yangzhou. When Gan Long traveled south, salt merchants financed the dredging of the river, the widening of Slender West Lake and the construction of pavilions along the shoreline so that he could take a boat from the royal pier to the Daming Temple.
While the Lean West Lake is now structured like a civic park, the white pagodas built on Little Jinshan, Diaoyutai, Costume, Wu Ting Bridge and Qiongdao (modeled after Beijing's Beihai) still spread out along the waterfront, attesting to the opulence of those days. Pay attention to the season when you go to the Slim West Lake. It's most beautiful in spring when the flowers are in bloom, but it's also when most tourists visit.
It takes about 2.5 hours to explore the Slender West Lake on foot, or you can take a scenic bus, but just as Gan Long chose to visit from the water, the best angle to see the lake is still on the water. With this endorsement, the Slender West Lake is way ahead of all attractions in Yangzhou with its high admission price of 150 RMB. If you'll be in Yangzhou for a longer period of time, the ticket, which includes the Slender West Lake, the Garden of Individuals, the River Source, the Daming Temple, and the 220-yuan combo ticket for the Grand Canal Cruise will be a lot more realistic.
Outside the Slim West Lake scenic area, there is also a bonsai garden next to the Great Rainbow Bridge. There is no admission and the environment is quiet. Yang school bonsai typical works on display.
Night Tour of Slender West Lake
The Slender West Lake takes a night tour by boat. At that time, the lights on both sides of the lake are fully turned on, so you can enjoy the night scenery.

9:00~11:30,14:00~16:30
Yangzhou elders say: whether a family is rich or not depends only on the height of its doorways and walls. From the streets of Kangshan Cultural Park, we can see the 12-meter-high wall of Lu.

In the past, many famous and rich merchants lived on this ancient street. They left behind more than 200 stores such as Hu Garden, Former Residence, Former Residence, Huashi Garden, Former Residence, and so on. Today, the 1,200-year-old street is renovated, moved back to the old street, welcomes new stores and is bustling with activity, remaining the center of Yangzhou.
The Donghuanmen to the south is more pristine. Seemingly dominated by antiques and footwork, the street also contains many deep mansions.
