Besides Slender West Lake, this ecological park in Yangzhou is a must-visit
Spring is here, and I've arranged a tour guide for everyone around Slender West Lake~ After all, it's one of the most famous attractions in Yangzhou, and it's definitely worth a stroll.
🚩I've organized several key scenic spots around Slender West Lake that you must visit, and you can plan your own walking route according to your situation~ In the third month of fireworks, go to Yangzhou and enjoy the garden!
🔘Wuting Bridge
The original name of Wuting Bridge is Lotus Bridge, with five four-cornered spire pavilions that are memorable in both design and color. The scenery is beautiful with willows in spring and clear frost and snow in winter, daylight brings the sky's brightness, and the night brings the moon's glow, looking good at dawn and dusk throughout the seasons. Here you can buy cultural and creative ice cream to check in (taking photos is beautiful and the ice cream is quite tasty, but it costs 18 yuan🙉!)
🔘Fishing Platform
The yellow pavilion in the center of the lake facing Wuting Bridge is the Fishing Platform, with its striking and eye-catching color, it looks great from every angle.
🔘Twenty-Four Bridge
Twenty-Four Bridge on a moonlit night, where is the lady who teaches flute playing? Many people visit Slender West Lake just for Du Mu's poem about the Twenty-Four Bridge, which is located to the west of Wuting Bridge, with its white marble railings elegant and graceful, having a charm of its own.
🔘White Pagoda
The Yangzhou White Pagoda, modeled after the White Pagoda in Beijing's Beihai Park, has a slender and graceful outline, and compared to the Beihai Pagoda, it has more of the delicate beauty of the south.
🔘Little Golden Mountain
Little Golden Mountain, originally named Changchun Ridge, is a small island surrounded by water in Slender West Lake. Here you can see the Wind Pavilion, Chui Platform, and Moon Viewing Pavilion, sitting in the Wind Pavilion and listening to the wind tinkling the corner bells is really comfortable.
🔘Xu Garden
Xu Garden is built on the former site of "Peach Blossom Dock", located at the north end of the Slender West Lake's long embankment with willows, it contains Tingli Pavilion, Spring Grass Pond Pavilion, and Shufeng Pavilion, making it a charming garden within a garden.
🔘Plum Grove on the Lake
Before the cherry blossoms bloom, enjoy the plum blossoms in Slender West Lake first. There is a large area of plum grove on the lake (not far from the north gate), and the flowers are blooming just right now, looking very beautiful.
🔘Miniature Water Garden
The closest attraction to the north gate of Slender West Lake, this place has many miniature landscapes, and also has a delicate beauty. P.S. There is a good spot here to take a photo of the Qiling Pagoda of Daming Temple, and any casual shot looks good.
🌟I entered from the West Gate and exited from the South Gate, walking along the way I could see most of the check-in points.
🌟The route from the North Gate to the South Gate is also OK, basically no need to backtrack, and it's very relaxing to stroll around.
The garden landscape worth a visit, although a little thin, but it is enough to go shopping, I hope to have enough physical strength, but the parking lot of the Slender West Lake is too high, and the surrounding road design is unreasonable, it is easy to traffic jam, and there are too few people to guide traffic!
I have been to Yangzhou many times before, except for the Slender West Lake. This special trip is to make up for this shortcoming. The famous Slender West Lake attracts tourists from all directions. The beautiful scenery is picturesque and lingers. The one-way street setting does increase the tour itinerary, which is also a last resort. After all, the traffic is too big. Tucao parking lot charges. 8 yuan per hour is really not low. Who will start at 40 yuan? Plus the tickets, it is about 150. As a garden landscape, it is really high!
The beautiful environment is worth the in-depth tour. Convenient transportation and a lot of parking spaces. Good management, there are many QR codes at the door to buy tickets by yourself. Half a ticket for 60 years old and 70 years old is free. If you can have two days of tickets, it is better. We don’t need to be tired. From early to late, we can’t finish it. It’s too tired.
Fireworks in March to Yangzhou is true, all people are not fake... After more than ten years, the Slender West Lake is still beautiful, people linger~📌 You must take a boat to Yangzhou, the scenery is so beautiful! From the Royal Wharf, choose the line on the right of the picture three to go directly to Xuyuan in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area. The boat journey is about 40 minutes, and it will be full (6 people/boat, business hours : 8:00-17:00). Because it is directly to the scenic area, you must buy tickets for Slender West Lake! (Buying tickets one day in advance online can be 5 yuan cheaper, there is no discount on the day) 📌 Way to the bonsai garden, free tickets! If you are interested, you can take a look (not in the Slender West Lake scenic spot). 📌 There is free mineral water on the boat. 📌 Electric boats can be rented in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, 200/hour (5 people can sit)...One person is too uneconomical, or forget it~📌 Wenchuang Ice Cream (Figure 1), milk taste, as long as 18! Cheaper than Jinshan Temple and Chengdu Panda Base, and delicious! 📌 Picture 10, Picture 11 are 24 bridges, and they are also iconic attractions of Slender West Lake! Picture 11, the second floor, feels that you should be able to see the panoramic view of Slender West Lake, but it is transformed into a tea house, 80/person. You can't go upstairs without tea...📌 Picture 12 is the Yangpai bonsai museum, which is full of long bonsai (green plants), there is a special person to take care of, no flowers...📌 I came to the Slender West Lake 3 times (2 times are fireworks March (including this time), 1 big winter, quite bleak), The first time I insisted on entering and leaving from the south gate (the Slender West Lake is headed north and south, and most of the attractions are close to the south gate), there are still surprises! For example, the dining English villa, such as the water system miniature landscape garden, there are many sets of flowers~📌 Qionghua (Figure 5, Figure 6) has been a little thankful, it will be better sooner! 📌 There are some pits in the scenic sightseeing car. It is 20 people when you go up, not just sitting on the same day.
Night tour Slender West Lake can experience a completely different scenery from the daytime, there are about 10 chapters of small attractions (performances), from the south gate all the way to the west gate, you can visit in order, each small performance time is not long, but the overall is still more wonderful. Several performances are circular performances, and several are time-based. It is recommended to arrange time. You can experience all the performance chapters in about two hours. In addition, the scenery of the Slender West Lake at night is also beautiful.
It is recommended to buy a day and night package. At two or three in the afternoon, enter from the west gate to the north gate. From the north gate, make a battery car or cruise ship to the 24th bridge. It is better to watch the sunset on the Wukong Bridge and Diaoyutai side. There are snacks under the white tower. Solve the dinner problem at night, and then go from the Wukong Bridge to the south gate. It was almost dark at the south gate, and then went back according to the night tour route. The night view was super beautiful. In the evening, a staff member sent out the guide, and the service was in place 😀
Yangzhou in March of fireworks, there are really many people. I deliberately rushed to go after the Qingming holiday. One is to think that some tourists can be digested during the Qingming holiday, and the other is to catch up with the best lunar March. I didn't expect the heat to still be high. I like this city very much, and I have to go again in the off-season.
The Slender West Lake is beautiful and worth visiting. It is best to go in from the south gate, you can walk or take a boat. This time I came with friends and family, and there are free tickets for over 70 years old. It is recommended to take public transportation or taxi, because there are many people near the attractions and there are many cars, not very good parking.
