The autumn scenery of Yangzhou is truly worth a special trip.

I didn't really appreciate the beauty of autumn until I visited Yangzhou last week, and the whole city was ablaze with gold! ✨ - The white walls and black tiles contrasting beautifully with the golden ginkgo trees were absolutely stunning! - Here's a two-day autumn travel guide for Yangzhou, shared for everyone: 🚄Transportation: 1. There are two high-speed rail stations: Yangzhou East Station and Yangzhou Station. Both are about 20 minutes from the city center. 2. Yangzhou doesn't have a subway, but buses 🚌 easily reach all the city's attractions. - Day 1️⃣: Arrival – Shi Kefa Memorial Hall – Tianning Temple – Slender West Lake Day 2️⃣: Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics Memorial Hall – Su Chang Street – He Garden – Guangling Road & Pishi Street - 📍Shi Kefa Memorial Hall (pp. 1-3): In autumn and winter, this becomes Yangzhou's most popular spot. The two 200-year-old ginkgo trees in the courtyard are a vibrant golden yellow – truly breathtaking! ⚠️Tips: 1. Admission is free; just scan your ID card to enter. It's recommended to go early, around 9 am, to avoid peak crowds. 2. Don't miss the super red Japanese maple tree 🍁 in the backyard. 📍Tianning Temple: From Shi Gongci (Stone Mansion Temple), the road is lined with ginkgo trees 💛. The red walls and ginkgo trees inside Tianning Temple create a particularly beautiful contrast. 📍Slender West Lake (p4): Slender West Lake in autumn is just as beautiful as in March, with its black maple, ginkgo, and willow trees creating a picturesque scene. 📍Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics Memorial Hall (p8): Inside is a 700-year-old ginkgo tree! Compared to Shi Gongci, this is more suitable for portrait photography. ⚠️Tips: 1. Parking is inconvenient in the surrounding area; it's recommended to take a bus or car. 📍No. 1 Suchang Street (p5): A newly discovered giant ginkgo tree in the alley 💛 You can go up to the second floor for a super photogenic angle. 📍Guangling Road & Pishi Street (p10 & 11): From Guangling Youyan to Pishi Street, there are many interesting restaurants, cafes, and creative shops. It's less commercialized than Dongguan Street, making it perfect for a city walk. 📍Heyuan Garden: Right next to Pishi Street, the jasmine flowers 🍁 are in full bloom, offering a romantic autumn view of the first garden of the late Qing Dynasty. - 🥘Eat: 1. Quyuan Garden: Numbers are issued daily at 6:20 AM, limited to 250. It's often difficult to get a number on holidays. After getting a number, you can stroll around the Slender West Lake inside the Yangzhou State Guest House. 1. **Salt Merchant's Five-Ingredient Buns, Hot Dried Tofu Strips, Jade Steamed Dumplings, and Thousand-Layer Oil Cake:** Try them all! The average price is just over 100 RMB per person. As a Black Pearl Two-Diamond restaurant, the value is truly high! 2. **Wu Xing Ji:** A restaurant specializing in Yangzhou fried rice, with a wonderful wok hei (wok aroma). I tried their signature Three-Fragrance Broken Gold, Crescent White Rice, and Gold-Wrapped Silver Rice, and they were indeed delicious and the portions were generous. - 🏨Accommodation:** If you prefer a scenic view and proximity to Slender West Lake, consider Yangzhou Yingbin Hotel. For convenience, choose the area near Wenchang Pavilion on Dongguan Street—plenty of restaurants and easy access to everywhere.
