We visited Yangzhou and were looking for a place to take photos. We found this place and it was amazing. The atmosphere is very nice, perfect for wearing traditional Chinese outfits for photos. However, we visited during winter, so it was too cold to wear traditional outfits. There were many Chinese students and teenagers taking photos and strolling around. The area is quite large, and we walked until we were tired, but it was worth it. If you like lush gardens, I highly recommend it. We will definitely visit again. ❤️❤️ 📍Address: Slender West Lake

Yangzhou is a city located 2 hours away from Shanghai by high-speed rail (high-speed train like the Shinkansen). Recommended tourist spot① Slender West Lake (shou xi hu) It seems that the Japanese reading is "sou shi fuu". From the name, it means skinny West Lake (Hangzhou). However, West Lake is a natural lake, and this skinny West Lake is artificial. This shows how much manpower and material energy was spent in ancient China. Many of the buildings in the tourist area were built by salt merchants (salt merchants) from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The scenery in the tourist area is beautiful, and it is enough to look around in half a day. It is good for people who like photography. There is an ancient poem that says "The deceased Xi tells the Yellow Crane Tower, smoke flowers in March under Yangzhou", so the most tourists come in March and April every year. 　Hotel prices have also skyrocketed, and hotels that foreigners can stay in with a passport cost about 500 RMB (10,000 yen) per night. Other than that, it costs 200 RMB (4,000 yen) on weekdays. Tickets to this tourist spot are 100 RMB (2000 yen). #HongKongFreeAirTicket
