We rode the little yellow bike there Home of Zhou Enlai The former residence is located in the old city area of Huai'an City. It is a northern Jiangsu residential house built between the Xianfeng and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty. It is made of blue bricks and gray tiles, and is quaint and elegant. He was born here and spent 12 spring and autumn years. After leaving Huai'an, he never came back. In the former residence, you can see the room where he was born, the bedrooms of his family, and everything is like the childhood residence he saw in movies and TV shows, still presented in its original form. In addition, through various graphic materials and physical exhibitions, one can understand his flatness.

The first thing I saw was his reading place, where he followed the ancestral teachings to study at the family academy at the age of 5. Then he went to his parents' living room, and the east wing of the room was where he was born. Then you can visit the exhibition of childhood family affairs and hometown, as well as the exhibition room of life stories, to learn about his and his wife's stories. Let's take another look at his calligraphy stele corridor, kitchen and other scenic spots.

Don't miss out on a few scenic spots during the visit. There is an ancient well behind the pavilion, and not far from the well, there is a vegetable field in front of the kitchen. You can try pouring a bucket of water into the old well, which was how he poured water into the vegetable field back then. Secondly, in the backyard, there is a first-class plum tree, which symbolizes his character. Thirdly, there are two century old trees in the former residence, one is an elm tree and the other is a Guanyin willow tree

The fourth day Get up early to have morning tea, ride a bike to Shouxi Lake, because it's early and there aren't many people. After strolling around, take a taxi back,

Slender West Lake is a narrow river where you can enjoy the natural beauty along the river, or step into pavilions and towers to appreciate the poetry, paintings, and calligraphy treasures of literati throughout history. You can also board a boat and experience the carefree mood of Emperor Qianlong's visit to the lake.

The entire Shouxi Lake Scenic Area is very large, starting from the Dahongqiao Bridge in the southeast of the scenic area, heading north along the lake until Guanyin Mountain, passing through dozens of scenic spots on the way. The scenic area has four gates in total, including southeast, northwest, and southeast. Usually, visitors start their tour from the south gate on Dahongqiao Road.

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.

Wuting Bridge is a symbol of Slender West Lake, with a history of over 200 years. There are five wind pavilions built on the bridge. On a full moon night, each of the fifteen bridge holes under the five pavilions contains a moon. The Twenty Four Bridges is another famous scenic spot in the scenic area, which comes from Du Mu's poem "On a moonlit night at the Twenty Four Bridges, where can the jade man teach to play the flute?" The original bridge no longer exists, and it is now seen as a rebuilt bridge.

This was once the place where Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to Jiangnan. Nowadays, the architectural landscapes such as the Grand Hongqiao, Diaoyutai, White Pagoda, and Xichun Terrace all leave behind inseparable allusions to Emperor Qianlong.

I went to Beijing Laolao for lunch at noon and took the high-speed train back to Huai'an in the afternoon. I didn't expect it to be difficult to buy high-speed train tickets on Friday, so I waited a little longer
