    It's definitely worth visiting in Yangzhou, but the entrance fee is expensive, and you absolutely must experience the manual boat ride on the lake with a guide – that's the most interesting part. It's much better than other experiences with AI-guided tours or just a boat ride to see the scenery.

    The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, the scenery is pleasant, there are activities to enhance the fun, and there are plenty of restrooms, which is very convenient. Even though there are many food vendors, the price-performance ratio is not low. It's a good place.

    The first garden of the late Qing Dynasty is quite nice. There's a small two-story building inside that seems to have been inhabited by many people. The second floor is an open-air display of interior furnishings, mostly in a Western style.

    This stay far exceeded my expectations! Bottled water was thoughtfully provided in the room, and the breakfast selection was plentiful and fresh, with a very clean dining environment. The service butler, 008, was incredibly attentive, helping with luggage upon arrival and providing a detailed explanation of the facilities – the attention to detail was truly heartwarming. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the food was delicious. The butler-style service made the trip exceptionally worry-free, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!

    Passing through Yangzhou, I made a point of visiting the Grand Canal Museum of China. Located on the banks of the ancient Sanwan Grand Canal in Yangzhou, it's a national landmark exhibit showcasing the history, culture, and significance of the Grand Canal. Through a wealth of artifacts, immersive experiences, and high-tech interactive displays, the museum vividly showcases the canal's millennial splendor and the wisdom of everyday life, becoming a vital window into the canal's charm and Chinese civilization. The museum is excellent, but the parking lot is terrible, charging 6 yuan per hour, which meant it took two or three hours to explore.

    The burial style of the Western Han Dynasty, known as the "huangchang ticou" (a type of burial chamber with a mortise and tenon joint), adds a new point of knowledge. The scale of the tombs of King Liu Xu of Guangling and his queen, along with the burial goods, reflects the wealth and prosperity of the Guangling Kingdom at that time. The museum only has four exhibition halls, with many cypress trees lining the aisles, creating a spacious feel, perfect for taking photos.

    It mainly introduces the life and history of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, as well as exhibitions of works by modern calligraphers and painters. Those who are interested in history and calligraphy and painting can come and have a look. If you are not interested, I don’t recommend coming here, as the 24 yuan ticket is not worth it.

    It is worth visiting here once. It is an ancient town with its own characteristics. You should go there a little earlier, otherwise the flow of people will be limited during holidays. Eat and walk in the evening. After the tour, you can also go to the ancient canal to see the night view.

    Get up close and personal with one of China's most powerful and controversial emperors, whose names are etched in history! It was incredibly moving and fascinating. The following poem resonated even more deeply with me! Emperor Yang's Mausoleum (Tang Dynasty, Luo Yin) Entering the city by bridge, leaving by boat, Red pavilions day after day, willows year after year. The emperor, how could he bear to relinquish the legacy of conquering Chen, To gain only a few acres of land at Lei Pond?
