Yangzhou has always been a popular vacation destination for wealthy people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. It is not only a World Heritage City, a Capital of World Cuisine, a Capital of World Canals, and a Capital of East Asian Culture, but also a famous hot spring city in China. Today, we will take you on a 3-day, 2-night autumn and winter hot spring tour in Yangzhou.
Day 1 itinerary: Staying at Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort - Tasting Yangzhou Banquet with Wang Zengqi's Hometown Flavor
There is a hot spring hotel in the city center of Yangzhou: Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort, located in the center of Yangzhou, opposite the east gate of Shouxihu Lake, and a 10 minute drive from the Wenchangge commercial district in the city center. The entire hotel adopts a garden style design, with a large green coverage area and a quiet environment, like a natural oxygen bar.
As soon as I arrived in Yangzhou, I headed straight for the hot spring resort. The resort is very large, with a total of 174 rooms. This time, I chose the hot spring villa rooms, each of which has an independent courtyard and a private soup pool at the entrance, with strong privacy. It is suitable for couples and families to come for vacation and check-in
After checking in at the front desk, there will be a butler driving an electric scooter to lead us to our accommodation, and the service is very good.
The villa room has a very large space, with a large living room in one building and two rooms with independent bathrooms.
Each villa room is equipped with an independent courtyard and a private soup pool at the entrance, providing strong privacy and suitable for couples and families to come for vacation and check-in
Soak in the afternoon, drink red wine with the autumn breeze, and enjoy the slow time in Yangzhou with your friends with Huaiyang Dim sum
As the capital of world cuisine, Yangzhou is definitely a city worth visiting for the sake of food. Yangzhou is one of the birthplaces of Huaiyang Cuisine. There are many delicious foods but they are very cheap.
In the evening, we checked in at the "Yangzhou Banquet" Skinny West Lake restaurant. The restaurant has an elegant environment, a wide variety of delicious dishes, and is located next to the hot spring hotel. It was definitely worth the trip!
We booked a private room and tasted the unique Wang Zengqi rural banquet at a moderate price of 288 yuan per person. The food was so delicious that it was tongue biting. Among them, my favorite food is deep-fried dough sticks stuffed with meat and Youzhugaoyou Wang tofu, which are highly recommended!
After eating Perfect Food, you can take a walk back to the hot spring villa to continue experiencing the "water foreskin". At night, with the moonlight and clear weather, every room can enjoy the beautiful starry sky. Such a comfortable day!
Day 2 itinerary: Yangzhou Yanshou West Lake shop morning tea - take a cruise to Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park - Yangzhou Shouxi Lake Hot Spring - Yangzhou Yanshou Songcheng Mountain Villa shop singing and dancing Shengping Yangzhou banquet
The next day, sleep in and make sure to have Yangzhou morning tea after waking up! What kind of magical charm does Yangzhou morning tea, which once left an unforgettable impression on Emperor Qianlong? Yangzhou morning tea, as a folk diet custom, follows the style of Huaiyang Cuisine, and is also the source of the saying "water in the morning".
In the morning, accompanied by a cup of fragrant tea, chatting while eating and drinking, immortals are nothing but that. For ancient people, only wealthy merchants with a waist circumference of 100000 yuan were eligible to visit Yangzhou! But now everyone can come and taste Yangzhou's morning tea culture
As a famous dish in Jiangsu, Yangzhou Guantangbao is my favorite. It has soft skin and tendons, fresh and tender meat, a delicate and transparent appearance, rich and mellow soup, and an oily but not greasy taste. Waking up early to eat a cage of soup dumplings, sipping the thick broth, and chewing the mellow meat filling, these days are so happy!
After eating and drinking, we took a water cruise in Songjiacheng and slowly explored the scenery on both sides of the river in the open waters of Songjiacheng. The blue water, lotus pond, and willow bank were pleasant and very pleasant. We were fortunate enough to see the scene of black swans swimming with their babies and feel the natural beauty of Yangzhou.
After taking the cruise ship, be sure to visit the Songjiacheng Archaeological Site Park (Sports and Leisure Park). It has a good ecological environment, natural wetland park water system, lush trees, and rich vegetation, making it a popular destination for locals to relax and entertain.
There are still many historical relics in the park, such as ancient city walls, the Wengcheng gate of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, etc. When I walked under the 800 year old Songjiacheng city wall, I instantly felt the romance of Yangzhou's old times.
Floating like a dream, for the joy of geometry. Friends who love books must go to Songcheng Bookstore to sit down, read their favorite books, taste delicious afternoon tea, which can instantly calm their restless hearts.
If you're tired from strolling around, you can go back to the resort and soak in Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Springs again. Whether you stay at Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Springs Resort or Yangzhou Shouxihu Songcheng Resort Hotel, there will be additional tickets to the public bathing area, which are definitely not to be missed
You can enjoy the natural health hot springs of Shouxi Lake here. The hot spring water is tested and certified by national institutions and belongs to the domestic natural silicic acid lithium hot springs. It contains rich trace elements and minerals, and has medical and health benefits. It can be said to be very healthy.
There are various types of hot spring pools here, including health medicine bath area, beauty and beauty area, and body therapy area. I think the most interesting one is the hot pot pool, which is equipped with chili and vegetable props. Taking photos and checking in can quickly become popular on social media, which is very creative!
The indoor rest area is equipped with a lounge, theater, health massage rooms, KTV, chess and card room, and children's play area. After soaking in the hot springs here, you can play for half a day.
In the evening, we went to Yangzhou Yan Songcheng Mountain Villa and enjoyed a Yangzhou banquet of singing and dancing. The minimum per capita for private dining rooms in the restaurant starts at 300 yuan, with a wide variety of dishes and exquisite presentation that are both visually appealing and delicious.
The most distinctive feature here is that the waiters are all beautiful girls from North Korea, and you can also have the opportunity to watch a Korean style song and dance performance, which is very stunning! It's simply a dual enjoyment of taste and sight!
Day 3 itinerary: Garden morning tea at Yangzhou Shouxi Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel - Shouxi Lake 24 Bridge - Xichuntai - Wuting Bridge - Shouxi Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel afternoon tea
On the third day, we chose to stay at the Yangzhou Shouxi Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel. The hotel is located in the core area of the beautiful Shouxi Lake, just a wall away from the east gate of Songjia City, adjacent to the Shouxi Lake Park and the millennium old temple Daming Temple, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Shouxi Lake scenic area.
I chose to stay in a king size bed room this time. The entire room is designed elegantly and comfortably, with a unique style. The room has bright lighting, and sitting by the window looking at the distant scenery, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is very comfortable.
The hotel has complete facilities, with many intimate details, such as fresh fruits and small Dim sum in each room; Equipped with an air purifier at the bedside; There is a cup disinfection cabinet next to the coffee table; The bathroom is equipped with an intelligent toilet and a Dyson hair dryer, which is very thoughtful and enhances the stay experience in minutes, making me feel warm even when traveling.
The first branch of Fun Garden: Songcheng Branch of Fun Garden Tea House is located in the lobby of the hotel. You can't miss Yangzhou characteristic morning tea and authentic Huaiyang Cuisine cuisine here! We specially got up early to enjoy the hotel's garden morning tea.
The entire garden is like a green oxygen bar, breathing in the fresh morning air, eating Yangzhou famous breakfast, experiencing the rich layers of taste buds, and enjoying a comfortable morning time.
Afterwards, we came to visit Shouxi Lake. On that day, the weather was mostly cloudy and turned cloudy, with fog appearing on the lake surface. We experienced the Shouxi Lake in the misty rain of Jiangnan. The two banks of the river present a picturesque scene of "two embankments with flowers and willows all along the water, all the way to the mountains", no wonder Qianlong couldn't forget it after his visit to Jiangnan.
Recommend the classic tour route of Twenty Four Bridges - Xichuntai - Wuting Bridge, suitable for friends who come here for the first time and have limited time. If you have enough time, you can spend a day strolling around Shouxi Lake.
If you feel tired from strolling in the afternoon, you can return to the hotel and enjoy afternoon tea in the garden.
I have to say that these two days of traveling in Yangzhou, accompanied by nature, relaxed my body and mind, and helped me shed the fatigue of daily life.
The hotels I stayed in for two days were very comfortable, allowing me to experience the slow life of Yangcheng with peace of mind.
