Day 1: Huai'an Government Office, 1.5 hours, tickets can be bought at the seafood market. No photos were taken because the museum is full of ancient torture devices. The ancient TV shows are real, with dozens of torture methods listed one by one. The whole scenic area is very large and worth visiting. China Canal Transport Museum is opposite Huai'an Government Office. Buy tickets on site. 1 hour. Day 2: Hexia Ancient Town, no tickets required, free. Suitable for shopping, eating, playing, and relaxing. Dining: Wang Er Crab Roe Soup Dumplings, CNY 20 each. You can taste the freshness of the crab meat. Take a bite and quickly suck the soup. The yellow crab oil mixed with fresh pork is delicious. Rigu Wenlou, CNY 85 per person. Eat early, or you'll have to wait in line. Pu vegetables and Qingong meatballs are highly recommended. Pu vegetables are crisp and taste like tender dried bamboo shoots. The meatballs are chewy, and the fluffy holes are filled with the delicious flavor of pu vegetables and pork. Juicy and delicious. Rigu Chenghe Restaurant, CNY 70 per person. Soft eel, I especially like this peppery cooking method. The garlic inside is also very soft and soaked in the spiciness of the pepper. Spicy and delicious. Pingqiao Tofu is a peppery tofu soup, very suitable for autumn and winter, and very suitable to eat with a small cake. Old Huai City, lots of snacks, the toppings for the noodles are all freshly fried. You must try the peppery eel noodles (eel is yellow eel), which is very characteristic of Huai'an. Travel experience: The ancient town is recommended for the last day, because Huai'an is a slow-paced small city. In the morning, have a breakfast tea and a bowl of noodles with freshly fried toppings. At noon, have a delicious and light Huaiyang meal. In the afternoon, find a teahouse in the ancient town, find a small courtyard, drink two cups of tea, chat, play games, relax, put your troubles aside, and buy a bag of maltose for CNY 5. The sweetness of maltose in Jay Chou's lyrics is simple and natural.

A lesser-known attraction - Wu Cheng'en's Former Residence.

Wu Cheng'en is the author of the well-known mythological novel "Journey to the West". This is an important place in Wu Cheng'en's life and creation. The garden is quite large, allowing visitors to better understand the history of that year.

"Journey to the West" is a household name, and both men, women and children are very fond of mythological novels. When you come to Huai'an, you will definitely want to see the author's former residence of this famous world mythical novel and explore the writing origin of this novel. I think that after you have seen it, you will definitely understand and understand. Wu Chengen, the word , No. Yangshan, born in 1504, died in 1582, at the age of 78, is an outstanding writer of the Ming Dynasty, a world cultural celebrity. The former residence of Wu Cheng'en is located at the end of the Tongxiang Lane in Hexia Ancient Town, Chuzhou District, Huai'an. The river is located in the northwest of Huaicheng, backed by the canal. In history, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, trade was developed and culture was prosperous. The late Tang poet Zhao Wei, the Ming dynasty, the anti-sick champion Shen Kun, the Qing dynasty sinologist Wu Yitong, etc. are all Hexia people. The authentic origin of the Huai'an specialty Wenlou Tangbao in Huaiyang cuisine is the century-old shop building under the river. Of course, the most famous representative of Hexia is Wu Chengen, who wrote the mythical novel Journey to the West.
