Fireworks in March descend upon Yangzhou
Yangzhou, once known as Guangling, may not have the reputation of 'above there is heaven, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou,' but in ancient times, it was as renowned as Gusu and Lin'an among literati and scholars.
Although we can't experience the literary charm of ancient Yangzhou, the city today is also remarkably different from the past. With the arrival of the May Day holiday, five days is enough time to comfortably explore Yangzhou. Here are some famous attractions in Yangzhou worth visiting.
1⃣️ Slender West Lake
One of only two 5A-rated scenic spots in Yangzhou, the West Lake has its grandeur, and Slender West Lake has its unique beauty. The Twenty-Four Bridge is still there, with ripples on the water and the silent cold moon. It exudes the charm of Suzhou-style gardens, yet it has its own unique aesthetic. Student tickets are half price🎫💰~
2⃣️ China Grand Canal Museum
Larger than the Grand Canal Museum in Hangzhou, it has a unique historical significance. The grand architecture and the heart-stirring historical restoration. The 5D effects offer an immersive experience of the development of the Grand Canal. The food inside is also quite good, with no admission fee, but it's probably necessary to book about a week in advance.
3⃣️ Dongguan Street
This is a well-known historical and cultural street in Yangzhou, with a strong sense of history and not so commercialized, featuring elegant architecture and cobblestone alleys. There are many time-honored shops and a concentration of handicrafts. Worth a visit.
4⃣️ He Garden
Known as the finest garden of the late Qing Dynasty, it is one of the famous private gardens. Compared to the gardens in Suzhou, it features a blend of Chinese and Western architecture. It seems to be the filming location for 'Marrying the Wrong Bride,' and you can wear Hanfu to take photos here. The winding paths in the Suzhou gardens make for excellent photo opportunities📸.
5⃣️ Pishi Street
In the past, it was known as 'Leather Goods Street' and is very close to He Garden. It is filled with Yangzhou's local customs and snacks, and now it has become a must-visit spot in Yangzhou, with unique cultural and artistic shops and great photo opportunities.
6⃣️ Ge Garden
Famous since the Ming Dynasty! It is said that the garden contains over 60 different types of bamboo. The admission fee is not expensive, and it is also one of the must-visit spots.
7⃣️ Daming Temple
'In the Southern Dynasties, four hundred and eighty temples, how many towers in the misty rain,' a thousand-year-old temple, the architecture has the style of a royal garden. Inside the temple, there is the Qiling Pagoda, which can be seen from other scenic spots, and from the top, you can overlook the entire city of Yangzhou.
8⃣️ Siwang Pavilion
A must-visit spot in Yangzhou, from Siwang Pavilion you can look out over Slender West Lake, admire Cuiping Mountain, and overlook the major historical districts. The sudden appearance of an ancient pavilion with windows on all sides in the quaint old street also has a special feel, which is one of the reasons it has become a popular photo spot.
Pishi Street is between Yangzhou Wenchang Road and Guangling Road, about 600 meters long and 10 meters wide. The newly built "Wenchuang Market", net red attractions, shops, tourists are like weaving, it is worth seeing!
Pishi Street, if you come to Heyuan, you may as well come here to stroll around. It means a bit of Internet celebrity street. There is Zhu Ziqing's former residence in the alley. I didn't eat here. The Yangzhou fried rice ordered next to Heyuan was really expensive.
Yangzhou at night is more flavorful than during the day, such as this leather market street... It is also possible to have a late night snack [beer] [beer] Fortunately, before the New Year, there is not much traffic here, hurry up to enjoy the food, enjoy the flavor of old Yangzhou, it is worth looking forward to.
Yangzhou is really a "slow half-pat" city, with a strong literary and romantic. Riding a small eDonkey shuttle through the old town, the roadside banyan trees and bumpy stone roads complement each other, busy and noisy.
Pishi Street is a popular Internet celebrity + trend + retro street today, and there is no taste in the early days. There are a lot of people, but it is not a pedestrian street. The flow of battery cars is endless, and the speed is very fast, which is very dangerous. The same is true of Dongguan Street, which is more densely populated. I don't know what people who drive a battery car here think. There are so many people, and it's not cool to drive. There are many cafes and drinks shops in Pishi Street. There are really no dinners. Walking all the way, if you don't eat, you can go shopping in half an hour and 40 minutes. There are net red bamboo tube milk tea, and there are also 2 cultural and creative shops on Dongguan Street. After lighting the lights at night, there is another color that is a 10-minute walk from Heyuan. You can go shopping with Heyuan. The other end of Pishi Street is Wenchang Middle Road, and the bus is very convenient. Opposite the road is Qionghua View
