The impression that Yangzhou has always given me is of Shouxi Lake and Dongguan Street. When you go to Yangzhou, you must check in at these two places.

Shouxi Lake is a famous lakeside garden with beautiful and diverse natural landscapes. The spring green willows here provide shade, and the flowers and trees such as camellia, pomegranate, rhododendron, and peach accompany it, attracting tourists from all over the world to come for a spring outing and admire the flowers every year. For thousands of years, countless literati and artists have lingered here, reciting poetry and painting, leaving behind numerous treasures and stories, and even building many scenic buildings tailored to local conditions.

Dongguan Street is the most representative historical old street in Yangzhou city. It stretches 1122 meters from Guyun River in the east to Guoqing Road in the west. Dongguan Street used to be not only a major transportation hub for water and land in Yangzhou, but also a center for commerce, handicrafts, and religious culture. The streets are bustling with listings and numerous businesses, offering a wide range of trades and thriving business. There are nearly a hundred businesses including Luchenxing, Youmifang, Xianyu, Baxian, Guaguo, and Zhumu.

For foodies, what is even more attractive is the rich and exquisite morning tea in Yangzhou, known as' skin wrapped in water in the morning, water wrapped in skin at night '. This proverb refers to the living conditions of Yangzhou people, and' skin wrapped in water 'refers to one of Yangzhou's great culinary pleasures - drinking morning tea. "It's high in the morning, and I just feel the tide in my heart. I have a walk in the teahouse. Mixed dry silk, flavored cake, crab shell yolk, thousand layer cake, jadeite cake, three diced buns; clear soup noodles, crispy fire, and the aroma of Longjing tea." This is the most true portrayal of Yangzhou morning tea.

In addition to visiting Shouxi Lake and Dongguan Street, there is now a new amusement park in Yangzhou called Yangzhou Dream City. It has always been felt that Yangzhou has many garden relics and few amusement parks, and Yangzhou Dream City has filled the gap of Yangzhou's lack of large and impactful amusement parks. Coming here has made me feel a different kind of amusement park in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou Dream City is located north of Shugang Shouxihu Scenic Area, west of Shouxihu Road, and south of Qiyang Expressway. It can be reached by taking a taxi from Yangzhou East Station in 30 minutes. Yangzhou Dream City is a fully open amusement park with no admission ticket for 0 yuan. After entering the park, you can decide whether to buy a package ticket or a single ticket according to your preferences. Dream City is divided into three main theme amusement areas: Dream Time, Canal World, and Children's Fun Park. Each park is suitable for people of different age groups to experience.

The first stop is the Dreamtime Park, where anyone who enjoys exciting projects can come. There are six major exciting projects here, including Hurricane Pendulum, Knight Roller Coaster, Scream Shooter, Rotating Flying Chair... Each one makes your heart beat faster and provides continuous excitement.

Peak catapult is a bit like a jumping machine, spinning in the sky and earth within 24 meters, suddenly stopping and rising during the high-speed ascent, repeating the cycle and challenging the limit of heartbeat.

Hurricane pendulum, don't miss it if you like super excitement. Being thrown up to a height of 30 meters, I felt the ups and downs of 420 degrees, the ultra high speed centrifugal force, and the extreme swing brought me extreme pleasure. Every swing made me scream repeatedly while sitting on top.

The rotating flying chair is the first star themed flying chair in China. This project is not particularly exciting, but it has high centrifugal force. Let's brave the storm center with our friends and experience the excitement and joy brought by rotation.

The Knight Roller Coaster is my favorite project, and every time I come to the amusement park, I will definitely go and play the roller coaster, flying up and down, constantly challenging adrenaline. If you like speed and passion, you cannot miss the Knight Roller Coaster.

Of course, there are many fun projects inside, and I feel like I can't play them all day. For example, this aerial track, by gliding around in the air, can enjoy the dreamy scenery of the Dream City.

In addition to amusement, the Dream City also has a very cultural aspect, which is the Canal World Scenic Area. Here, there are rich and colorful experience projects such as Guangling Academy and Guangyin Painting Scene. For example, Guangling Academy is a two courtyard style antique building that blends the southern Huizhou architecture and northern architectural painting. Traditional academic research, art exhibitions, and geopolitical culture are inherited and developed here.

Guangling Qinyuan integrates modern technological means with traditional craftsmanship elements, showcasing Chinese guqin culture in a richer way. The elegant and beautiful guqin skills allow you to relax both physically and mentally here.

In the Yunhe Tiandi Scenic Area, there is also Guangling Ghost City, which not only restores the scene atmosphere of Yangzhou's fantasy ancient houses, but also plans a long travel route, creating a strong sense of horror experience and immersion. If you have any friends who enjoy challenges, you can give it a try. It should be quite exciting.

Next to Guangling Ghost City is the millennium old Yangzhou, where you can ride on a dark ride that blends history and modernity, enjoy realistic historical scenes, and take me back to the millennium in my dreams, reliving the millennium style of Yangzhou. It's quite interesting to take a walk inside and experience the cultural charm of Yangzhou, which has been around for thousands of years. It's definitely worth it.

Next to the millennium old Yangzhou is the Canal Drifting, which is the longest exclusive customized power track drifting river in the country. Unlike other drifts that pursue speed and excitement, it still sways on the water surface, making it suitable for children to play. Therefore, there will be more people queuing up.

Meeting three to five friends and taking a boat tour is quite an interesting experience.

Next to the drifting canal, there is a huge building that is the Dynamic Cinema. With VR glasses, team up with friends to experience the shooting sensation of simulated reality. After the game, you can also see your score and ranking, which is very immersive.

Of course, in addition to these few projects, there are also a variety of experiential projects on the commercial street, such as the experience of a 10.5 magnitude earthquake, which can take you to experience the feeling of an earthquake firsthand.

Dreamy Ice Valley, looking at this gate gives it a very stylish design, and it makes people feel cold and indifferent.

Mirror maze, lost in the reflection of multiple mirrors, lost in the world of mirrors.

Of course, there is also my favorite bubble kart with my friends. I didn't expect to be able to drive karts in the Dream City. Although it is indoor, the field is still relatively large and more suitable for children to play.

Watching the child skillfully drive the go kart, I was also foolishly tempted to try.

At night, as the lights began to shine, the enchanting city of dreams lit up. Under the illumination of these lights, the city of dreams began to truly become dreamlike. The fountain and light show complement each other, presenting us with an extremely beautiful scene.

Under the backdrop of the lights, the fountain also bloomed so dreamily, just like the place we are in, Yangzhou Dream City, is a place that takes us into a dream world.
