竹林大饭店

I didn't expect that I could eat shrimp bran wontons, marble duck, fermented bean curd jelly, chicken sauce tofu, fresh meat/red bean paste plum cake, and golden navel (called tiger claw in Shanghai) all at once in Zhulin Hotel in Yancheng. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are too many things to eat there. Zhulin Hotel is located in the city center of the old city of Yancheng. It looks like a very modern building, but inside it is the original scene of old Yancheng, restoring the post office, bank, cloth shop, photo studio, barber shop, comic book stall, fishing village and other shops of that era, full of life and interest. What is particularly surprising is that there are so many people inside, and most of them are young people.

There aren't many places to visit in downtown Yancheng, but this place is very unique. It's called a big hotel, but it's actually a museum. You can see a lot of things that look old, and you can even sit in an old shop and eat. Other cities have similar places, but the display here is very detailed, and the restoration is very high. It feels like you're there, and it shows that a lot of effort was put into the layout. The air conditioning is very strong inside, and you can also have breakfast at the Zhulin morning market. It's worth a visit.

Walking into the Zhulin Hotel, I felt like I was revisiting yesterday and was instantly transported back to my childhood. Even my mother, who is almost 80 years old, was filled with emotion and kept recalling the past days.

Familiar scenes in memory, enjoy some snacks on the first floor after visiting

🌟 Yancheng Bamboo Forest Hotel: A Family Time Machine to the 1980s Yancheng, an ancient city in northern Jiangsu that prospered because of salt, was once a distribution center for Huaihe River salt. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, "the Huaihe River was the most profitable salt trade in the world." Strolling through the old streets, one can almost hear the bustling market life as salt merchants negotiated business. Hidden away on Jianjun Middle Road, the Bamboo Forest Hotel is like a time capsule, transporting us back to the innocent days of bell-bottom pants and tin frogs. The moment you enter the Bamboo Forest Hotel, you're greeted by replicas of the 1980s: yellowed old-fashioned telephones, hand-painted movie posters on the walls, enamel mugs on the counters... Children curiously touch the rotary dial phones, while parents excitedly point to the "Forever" bicycles and tell their children stories from their own childhoods. The most surprising thing is the flavors that resonate with our memories—the plum blossom cakes are still baked in traditional molds, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; the fish noodle soup still uses crucian carp in a rich, milky broth... The nostalgic play area on the second floor is a haven for parent-child interaction. Tin wind-up toys, marble mazes, and cat's tuck... these childhood treasures have now become secret codes between generations. The modern city's nightscape outside the glass windows feels like a tunnel through time. 📍 Tips for Zhulin Hotel Address: 146 Jianjun Middle Road, 1st Floor Must-Order: Plum Blossom Cake + Fish Noodle Soup Set (Go in the morning for the most flavorful broth). Bonus: Every Saturday afternoon there's an 80s-themed flash mob performance. Here, every dish is a piece of history, every corner a story. When children ask, "Did Mom and Dad really live like this when they were kids?" perhaps this is the most moving meaning of travel—making memories become the most precious souvenirs. #YanchengFood #NostalgicRestaurant #Parent-ChildTravel #CityMemories #HistoryOnTheTip

Fermented Tofu 🌟💫💫 Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, I drove my beloved car eastward to Yancheng. In just four hours, I could reach this tranquil and beautiful town from bustling Shanghai. 🚗🌄 🌿🏞️Day 1: Bathed in the lush greenery of Huanghai Forest Park, I felt like I was transported to a fairytale. The train whizzed through the forest, each whistle telling an unknown story. Birdwatching in Nizitiao made me feel the wonder of nature, and the intimate encounters at the Chinese Elk Park forged a special connection with the elk. The wild elk of Yeludang roamed freely on the mudflats, like a miniature version of Earth's ecology. As night fell, the lights of Xixi Ancient Town shone brightly, and I immersed myself in the tranquility and ancient legends. 🌌✨ 🌅🌊Day 2: At Sunrise Bay, I witnessed a magnificent sunrise over the sea, and the starry sky at night was crystal clear. The vibrant colors of the Dutch flower fields made me feel like I was transported to a European fairytale town. The tranquility of the Red-crowned Crane Wetland Park was a perfect cleansing for the soul. 🎆🌸 🏛️🍽️Day 3: The ancient charm of the Eastern Jin Dynasty water city, the history of the Haiyan Museum, the delicious food at the Bamboo Forest Hotel, the exotic atmosphere of KK Park's European-style street, and the relaxed atmosphere of the water streets all make up my fondest memories of Yancheng. Here, every bite of food is a true delight to the taste buds. The stuffed egg pancakes at the Bamboo Forest Hotel, the noodles at Wang Er Authentic Fish Soup Noodle House, the Damao egg pancakes, Mengxiang BBQ, Liu Da's stinky dried snow-colored noodles at Xueqin Noodle House, Wei Ji's old-style sesame cakes, and fermented tofu are all unforgettable delicacies in my mind. 🥳🍴 Yancheng, a city perfect for self-driving, a place brimming with natural charm. Here, you can slow down, feel the breath of nature, and experience a different pace of life. 🌟🔍🛖 #YanchengTravel #Most Asked Places on WeChat Moments #Relaxing Spots #Niche Discovery Club #CityHumanitiesNotes
