Slow travel in Yangzhou is really relaxing, full of vacation feeling. I stayed in Yangzhou with a few friends for four days and three nights this time, but I felt it wasn't enough.

No wonder Kangxi visited Yangzhou six times back then, and Qianlong also visited Yangzhou six times. I have also been to Yangzhou several times and will go again.

Many friends, like me, enjoy staying in Yangzhou for a few days. It is exquisite, leisurely, and has a wide variety of delicious food. Local friends in Yangzhou say that even if you come to Yangzhou for ten, five, and a half months, the food will not be the same.

Recently, it's really the best time to go on vacation to Yangzhou. The autumn weather is crisp and there aren't many tourists. Many restaurants that used to require long queues don't have to wait in line. The key is that the hotel has a high cost performance ratio and offers great discounts.

The slow life of Yangzhou, where you are covered in water in the morning and covered in water at night, is ready for you with a 4-day and 3-night guide!

A train ticket from my hometown Changshu to Yangzhou, a two-hour train ride, is indeed convenient. That day was cloudless, with a transparent deep blue sky.

In the afternoon, stay at Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort. This resort is located in the city center, opposite the east gate of Shouxi Lake, and only a 10 minute drive from Wenchang Pavilion in the city center.

I have lived here before, and this time I chose it without hesitation.

The entire Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort is hidden in the ancient city, enjoying the stunning scenery of Shouxihu, with a beautiful environment and lush greenery.

After check-in at the front desk, an electric scooter will be sent to the hot spring villa area.

The resort is very large, with a total of 174 guest rooms, among which the hot spring villa rooms are unique.

The hot spring villa is a flat villa with a unique courtyard. The building has a large living room and two rooms with independent bathrooms.

Each villa has a separate courtyard and a favorite in home private soup pool.

The room is spacious and has excellent lighting. It is also suitable for a family to stay, and if there is a chance, I would like to bring my parents to experience it together.

In the afternoon, I spent a long time in the hot spring pool, sprinkled rose petals, and tasted the exquisite Huaiyang Dim sum. It was really nice.

After soaking in the hot spring, I sit in the yard chatting and drinking tea with friends, not going anywhere, enjoying the slow time of this vacation.

How can we not have a Yangzhou banquet when we come to Yangzhou?

There are currently six Yangzhou Yan stores in Yangzhou. We went to the oldest Yangzhou Yan Shouxihu store, which is located next to the Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort where I live.

It's just a one minute walk, super convenient.

Private rooms need to be reserved in advance, with a minimum order of ten people. They are antique and have a strong Jiangnan style. If there are only two or three people, they can dine in the lobby and the dishes can also be ordered at midnight.

Plants and trees in the human world, food from all directions, are but a bowl of human fireworks. This table features a unique Wang Zengqi rural banquet, priced at 288 yuan per person. What would you like to eat?

The six flavors of cold dishes are called "Jinxiu Cold Plate", including Drunken Roche Shrimp, Pu Bao Zhan Rou, Salted Goods Platter, Jieshou Dried Tea, Fish Soaked Fish Jelly, and Yang Hua Radish.

This Yang Hua radish really tests knife skills. The three knives in Yangzhou are very famous.

Jieshou dried tea is very interesting. At first, it has a diesel flavor, and you need to eat it big and chew it until it becomes more fragrant.

The nine hot dishes are:

Old chicken soup with salted vegetables, yellow croaker stewed with fresh bamboo shoots with snow vegetables, white juice lake turtle with chestnuts, deep-fried dough sticks stuffed with meat, Gaoyou Wang tofu with oil dregs, Jinxiu family portrait in casserole, fresh shad with chicken oil ham, taro braised with farmhouse lentils, and garland chrysanthemum stir fried with spring water.

Guangling carefully ordered three dishes: Meidian Shuanghui, salted meat and vegetable rice, and fruits for each customer.

The dishes at Wang Zengqi's rural banquet are truly exquisite and provide a great sense of satisfaction. I love to eat deep-fried dough sticks stuffed meat and chicken oil ham fresh shad. The shad should be eaten together with fish scales, which is extremely delicious.

After dinner, I continued to soak in the yard and looked up like a crescent moon. It's really super quiet here, undisturbed.

The next day, I slept in and walked for 1 minute to Yangzhou Yanshou West Lake restaurant where I had dinner yesterday. I had morning tea and started my day with water.

Breakfast in a private room costs 168 yuan per person, you can try everything and skip lunch. If there are few people, the lobby also provides scattered morning tea.

This "flavor Yangzhou banquet" is a combination of Yangzhou morning tea and Cantonese morning tea. It's really exquisite. Look at the double yellow Salted duck egg.

The recent crab roe soup dumplings are super delicious, and the soup can be sucked in with a straw, very delicious.

The crispy Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) must not be missed.

Crystal braised pork and steamed shredded pork are the old noodles for Yangzhou morning tea.

Should tangerine peel beef balls belong to a kind of Cantonese morning tea?

A serving of crystal shrimp, each one is crystal clear and very tempting.

This table of Yangzhou morning tea is really sumptuous! You probably won't have lunch like me, so it's not expensive after all.

A different Yangzhou vacation trip, taking you on a tour of Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park from a different perspective.

Living at the Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort in Yangzhou, this free open garden has become the resort's backyard due to its proximity to Songjiacheng.

Take the Songjiacheng water tour route with friends and see Yangzhou from a different perspective.

I also ran into a cute little swan baby.

Tip: If you stay at Yangzhou Shouxihu Songcheng Hotel or Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort, you can enjoy a discounted price for the room and boat!

After taking a cruise, take a stroll around Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park.

During the Song Dynasty, there was a saying in Yangzhou that there were three cities in one place: Song Dacheng, Song Jiacheng, and bless the city. The current Songjiacheng was rebuilt on its original address.

This is a great place for citizens to relax and stroll, as well as a natural oxygen bar surrounded by a moat.

I have been sitting in the Songcheng Bookstore for a long time, with an antique atmosphere, brewing a cup of tea, and being quiet.

I also climbed up to the city tower, overlooking the Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park, with lush greenery in my eyes.

Yangzhou is not only the capital of world cuisine, East Asian culture, but also the capital of world canal culture. Yangzhou is slow, slow Yangzhou, it's suitable to experience it slowly like this.

Return to the resort and continue soaking in the hot springs. One stop vacation, the choice for lazy people.

Whether you are staying at Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort or Yangzhou Shouxihu Songcheng Resort Hotel, each room comes with a complimentary hot spring ticket for the public area based on the bed, which is very cost-effective.

Who said Yangzhou doesn't have hot springs? This is a true hot spring hidden in the ancient city.

The hot spring water source comes from more than 2000 meters underground hot spring veins, rich in various trace elements and minerals, and has excellent health and therapeutic effects!

The hot spring pool here is also very interesting, with private soup house, Double-flavor hot pot, mahjong pool, traditional Chinese medicine pool, kiss fish pool and so on.

The private soup house is full of romance, and privacy is not disturbed by anyone.

Have you ever seen playing mahjong while soaking in hot springs? How fun!

You can also throw yourself into the "Double-flavor hot pot" and boil it with cabbage and pepper.

Traditional Chinese medicine pools have different therapeutic effects, which can be chosen according to one's own physical condition.

After the National Day holiday, there aren't many tourists, so you can rent the entire hot spring pool. That's great!

The facilities of the hot springs in public areas are very complete, including book bars, cinemas, SPA rooms, chess and card rooms, rest halls, music practice rooms, restaurants, and children's entertainment areas

There's really everything you need, even playing for a day is not enough.

Travel tips:

If you don't live at Yangzhou Shouxihu Hot Spring Resort, you can also come and soak in the hot springs alone. The adult ticket for the public hot spring pool is 168 yuan/ticket, and the child ticket is 98 yuan/ticket.

I checked in at Yangzhou Yansongcheng Mountain Villa for dinner.

This shop is known for its quiet and private atmosphere, as well as the service of Korean girls. It is known as the "Yangzhou Banquet of Song and Dance Rising to Peace", and many beautiful Korean girls perform songs and dances in private rooms, but unfortunately cannot take photos.

The Yangzhou Yan Songcheng Mountain Villa store is located in Songjiacheng Park, with a peaceful and tranquil environment. The private room is very large, and there is also a tea table at the entrance.

The minimum per person in the restaurant private room starts at 300 yuan. This meal lasted for 1-2 hours and amazed our visual and taste buds from the cold dishes.

Classic Huaiyang Cuisine goose:

Classic Huaiyang Cuisine, braised silver carp head, abalone, sea cucumber and the like, is perfect to eat with super large deep-fried dough sticks.

Classic Huaiyang Cuisine, crab roe, mushroom and bean curd:

Compared to Baiguo, you will know how big this shrimp is.

There are also many exquisite innovative dishes during the meal, such as ginseng grass chicken on the side of the stove, milk white fish soup on the side of the stove, etc.

Every time I travel to Yangzhou, I always feel like I lack a stomach.

On the third day, I still slept until I woke up naturally. After breakfast, let's go and stroll around Shouxi Lake! Many friends who come to Yangzhou for the first time must go to Shouxihu to get a card.

Recently, there have been very few tourists visiting the Skinny West Lake, even the famous Twenty Four Bridge is very quiet.

Do you still remember this ancient poem, "On a bright moon night at the Twenty Four Bridges, where can the jade man teach him how to play the flute?

I went to Xichuntai, where there are sometimes performances. From the window of Xichuntai, you can capture a scene that is framed with Wuting Bridge.

Take a glance at Jiangnan.

Slender West Lake is actually very big, and if you stroll slowly, you can spend a day exploring. You can also choose a classic route and take a look at representative ones such as the Twenty Four Bridges, Xichuntai, Wuting Bridge, etc.

Unfortunately, I couldn't experience the night tour of Shouxi Lake this time. Looking forward to the next time.

In the afternoon, I changed to a different hotel and stayed at Yangzhou Shouxi Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel.

This resort hotel is only one wall away from the east gate of Songjia City, adjacent to the Shouxi Lake Park and the millennium old temple Daming Temple, boasting beautiful scenery of the Shouxi Lake scenic area.

The most important thing to choose here is that the Songcheng Branch of Fun Garden Tea House in the hotel is the first branch of Fun Garden, which mainly promotes Yangzhou characteristic morning tea and authentic Huaiyang Cuisine cuisine.

Recently, there haven't been many tourists, so you can enjoy Yangzhou's unique cuisine without queuing up.

The room color scheme is fashionable, warm and atmospheric.

The room also sent fruits and small Dim sum. Looking at the window, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Jiacheng in Song Dynasty.

Air purifiers, disinfection cabinets, smart toilets, Dyson hair dryers... It's evident that they are thoughtful, and the texture of the bedding is also great.

The hotel also has a gym, self-service laundry room, and other well-equipped facilities.

Afternoon tea with friends in the garden of Shouxi Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel.

In the evening, I ordered some exquisite Huaiyang Cuisine at the Songcheng Branch of the Fun Garden Tea House on the first floor of the hotel. The day has passed again.

This hotel is adjacent to the millennium old temple Daming Temple and is worth a visit. The Sanba Dao Cultural Pedestrian Street and Hongqiao Fang Commercial Pedestrian Street are both within a few hundred meters of the hotel.

For those farther away, you can also choose to visit the individual gardens or He Garden in Yangzhou, both of which are exquisite Jiangnan gardens.

Or take a walk on Dongguan Street and buy some souvenirs to go back. You can also go to Yangzhou Rubbing Back Restaurant to experience the bathing culture of Yangzhou.

Eating morning tea at the Fun Garden Tea Room in the hotel garden is truly a unique experience.

I booked the garden morning tea of Yangzhou Slender West Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel in advance, and continued to drink morning tea when I woke up naturally on the fourth day.

This is the first branch of Quyuan Tea Room on the first floor of the hotel, offering a super rich set meal for two.

Crab roe bun, thousand layer cake, jadeite shaomai, yangchun noodles, wuding bun, and Steamed dumplings full of juice are all indispensable.

After breakfast and lunch, it's almost noon and you can take the road back home.

Is this slow travel in Yangzhou, which is luxurious, lazy, and exquisite, also your favorite way of vacation?

Follow the thoughtful CS of a young woman from Jiangnan, and accompany you to see this beautiful world together.
