Located on the east side of Slender West Lake, the Fun Garden Tea House, once the private residence of the Qing Dynasty salt merchants, has become a traditional and authentic representative restaurant of Huaiyang Cuisine after more than 200 years. During Emperor Qianlong's six visits to Yangzhou, he visited four times and the garden was named "Quyuan" by Emperor Qianlong. Due to historical reasons, there are only four remaining buildings in Quyuan, namely Siqiao Yanyu Tower, Conggui Pavilion, and Chengbi Tower. Door openings, palace lanterns, and corridors are the main factors in Jiangnan gardens.

The restaurant and private rooms are mainly in the elegant Chinese style, named after poetic terms such as Qingqu; The waiter was dressed in a green lotus colored cheongsam, with every movement and gesture, gathering the charm of Yangzhou beauties; Enjoying a sip of green spring is essential for tasting delicious food.

Huaiyang Cuisine is rigorous in material selection and skill application; Exquisite production and elegant style; Pursuing authentic taste, freshness, and tranquility.

Chinese Eight Treasures Gourd Duck on the Tongue

Huaiyang Cuisine is very particular about knife work, and the knife work is quite sophisticated. The dishes are exquisitely shaped with a rich and mellow taste; In cooking, one should make good use of heat, pay attention to fire skills, and be skilled in stewing, braising, simmering, steaming, boiling, and stir frying. From the perspective of Huaiyang Cuisine's cooking technology, it is full of changes and imagination. You can tell from the eight treasures of gourds and ducks in 'China on the Tongue'.

Yangzhou fried rice is a staple food that must not be missed. It is golden in color, full in grain, crisp and refreshing.

There is Cantonese morning tea in the south and Su style morning tea in the north - Yangzhou Quyuan Tea House is the most authentic

If you stay in a guesthouse, you must not oversleep in the morning. The sunrise casts over the dense forest like a green fairy trail, and you can feel the lush greenery of the garden city and the peaceful and comfortable morning of the slim West Lake; The most important thing is that you will find how Yangzhou people, who are known for their "water covered skin in the morning and water covered skin in the evening," start their day by eating morning tea.

At around 7am, citizens, friends, and tourists queuing up to pick up their numbers have already gathered here. Speaking of morning tea, it is a social and dietary custom in China. The tradition of morning tea is more common in southern China, mainly in Guangdong and Jiangsu, with Guangzhou and Yangzhou being the most famous. In Jiangsu, the Lixiahe region was actually the main area, including cities such as Huai'an, Dongtai, Gaoyou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Xinghua. During the early to mid Qing Dynasty, it was an important period for the development of early tea culture. Yangzhou is an important birthplace of Huaiyang Cuisine, and because of the local people's daily life and catering in history, the morning tea culture is more prominent.

For Yangzhou people who love morning tea, queuing for 1 hour to taste for 2 hours is still common; So there are often times when morning tea is used up before noon. Being able to gather together and chat about daily life as a family is a kind of happiness. Like the round table banquet the night before, several plates of Jinxiu cold dishes are essential. The biggest characteristics are simple ingredients, exquisite presentation, enticing colors, moderate taste, and a combination of meat and vegetables.

Cantonese morning tea is very particular about tea drinks. At Quyuan Tea House, you can try Green Yangchun Green Tea, which has the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, helping digestion, and neutralizing taste. However, for those with stomach cold, drinking a cup of jasmine tea is also good. Before tasting, green tea neutralizes your tongue coating and taste, so that you can feel the original flavor. All pastries and snacks are handmade and freshly baked on the same day, as the morning tea time is longer than usual. Sweet but not greasy bean paste small hemp balls, jadeite baked wheat made of wild vegetable stuffing, a mouthful of juicy Steamed dumplings, crispy and refreshing oil end of shredded radish, glutinous and delicious glutinous rice, dry silk with different flavors, and crab roe soup dumplings with authentic materials that can taste a sense of ritual. The above famous snacks are all worth trying. However, do you know the true secret to consuming crab roe soup dumplings? One is to gently lift, slowly move, open the window first and then drink the soup; Another factor is angle (biting the skin with the lower mouth), speed (sucking), and temperature (while hot). In addition, the final noodle dish is the "finale" of Yangtai Salt Morning Tea. So a bowl of shrimp seed yangchun noodles will definitely satisfy your taste buds greatly.

By the way, let me give you some science popularization——

The food judge said: The restaurant integrates its Yangzhou culture into every inch and corner of the restaurant, with simple decoration, simplicity yet elegance.

But this inconspicuous individual garden catering service center hides a long-standing "salt merchant banquet". In 2014, Yangzhou Tourism Bureau officially announced the "Salt Merchant Banquet" and "Red Chamber Banquet" to the public. Huaiyang Cuisine, which is proud of, is a cultural dish.

If you come here, remember to visit a garden and have a salt merchant banquet.

On the Emperor's Southern Tour, Savoring 1757- Delicious Neighborhood Snacks The gourmet neighborhood is located within the Shouxi Lake scenic area and mainly serves tourists; Here, Yangzhou specialty snacks and local snacks are gathered. Why is it called 1757? Originally, during Emperor Qianlong's southern tour of Jiangnan that year, local salt merchants built the Wuting Bridge in Shouxi Lake to express their respect and love. Recently, 'Extreme Challenge' has also been recorded and filmed here. In the quaint neighborhood, the environment is clean and the aroma is tempting.

Sitting and watching Fuyuan Qianqiu Fendai, slowly savoring Guangling Yang style morning tea The Xie Fuchun Tourist Scenic Area, located on Dongguan Street in Geyuan Scenic Area, is divided into three parts: "Xuguan" Fendai Building and "Xie Fuchun Pavilion", including Mudan Hall, Tianxiang Building, Production Demonstration Zone, Xie's Old Residence, and Xiangfen Shop. Fuyuan embodies the classical architectural characteristics of Yangzhou, with the solemn and mysterious "Pink and Dai Building" located on the second floor, displaying the "Yangzhou Twelve Pink and Dai" and "Xie Fuchun Pavilion" with different shapes and spirits. On the one hand, it focuses on showcasing the entrepreneurial and household oriented Yangzhou Pink and Dai from the Dai and Chen families, and on the other hand, it displays products such as "fragrance, powder, oil, rouge, eyebrow and Dai", with a fragrant aroma.

For tourists, various stage arts such as vocal music, dance, instrumental music, local folk art, drama sketches, and fashion shows are used here to recreate the influential famous women in Yangzhou's history, with a focus on the Yangzhou beauty card. In fact, the cast members have excellent physical appearance, beauty, and talent.

For the first time in Yangzhou, I saw a small stage performance full of local characteristics of Yangzhou. Local folk art, Yangzhou minor tune, double zither playing, antique charm. Although I can't understand the dialect, Wu Nong's soft language, whether it's Yangzhou Qingqu, Yangzhou Pinghua, Yangzhou Tanci... Each tune is gentle and soft, truly pleasing to the ear. The scene is moving, the morning tea is delicious, and the gentle and pleasant music is very intoxicating.

Address: No. 243 Dongguan Street, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province
Opening hours: 7:15-21:30
Experience time: About 1 hour is also a golden opportunity, so it should be called "Skinny West Lake" - the correct travel route is to go boating on the lake and retrace the Emperor's southern tour of Jiangnan Boating on the lake, one cannot fully appreciate the scenery of the lake and mountains, cannot finish listening to the music of qin, xiao, and ying, and the beauty is not enough to appreciate the beauty of clothing and scenery. Ten miles of lake light, clear and ethereal blue; Flowers and trees are lush and sparse, with continuous drops of green; Pavilions, towers, and pavilions are arranged in a staggered manner; Cultural landscape, with unique charm. The emperor's southern tours several times must have its unique features. Nowadays, here, you can choose different forms of water tools such as painting boats, bamboo rafts, and electric boats to immerse yourself in the painting. The scenic area also provides boat guides, one step at a time, one scene at a time. Touching the scene and evoking emotions, understanding history. For ordinary tourists, the best sightseeing route is definitely a one-way boat ride or a return land trip. Only by combining movement and stillness from different angles can one feel a unique beauty. Xuyuan - originally the site of "Taohuawu", built in 1915 Xu Yuan was built in 1915 on the site of the former "Taohuawu" to commemorate warlord Xu Baoshan. The gate of the garden is like a full moon gazing at the sun, with the words "Xu Garden" written on the forehead, in regular script and grass, with a unique flavor, written by Ji Lianggong. The main hall in Xuyuan is the "Listening to Orioles Pavilion", which has a pair of finely carved Nanmu canopy made of high-quality Nanmu wood, extremely delicate. There is a lotus pond made of stacked yellow stones in the garden, with curved water outside and a pond inside, which is connected to the lake water. Guochi is called Guanxuan, taking the meaning of Du Fu's "Two orioles singing on green willows, a line of white egrets ascending to the blue sky", and named Tingli Pavilion. The entire courtyard is neat and varied. Around Xu Yuan, standing on Xiaohong Bridge, Xiaojin Mountain stands tall, and the lake suddenly opens up. Xu Garden is not large in scale, covering an area of 0.6 hectares. But the structure is appropriate, with the courtyard arranged in a staggered manner. Inside, there are scenic spots such as the Listening Oriole Pavilion, Spring Grass Pond Chanting Pavilion, and Shufeng Pavilion, which combine exquisite architectural structure and exquisite carving art, fully reflecting the wisdom and talent of ancient Chinese laboring people. There are two iron pots displayed in front of the Tingli Pavilion, which are said to have been used to control water during the Xiaoliang period of the Southern Dynasties. There is also an inscription on the Iron Pot Record, which is said to be a relic from the Liang period of the Southern Dynasties, dating back more than 1400 years. Xiaojin Mountain - The Best View of Shouxi Lake Xiaojin Mountain is the largest island in Shouxi Lake and also the most densely populated area of buildings on the lake. The Wind Pavilion, Wind Platform, Piano Room, Muxi Bookstore, Chess Room, and Moon Temple are all concentrated here. Xiaojin Mountain is one of the 24 scenic spots of Shouxi Lake in Yangzhou. It is a small island in Shouxi Lake, originally named Changchun Ridge, built in the mid Qing Dynasty. At that time, the wealthy gentry of Yangzhou excavated a new river called Lianhua Ridge in the northwest of Shouxi Lake in order to open up a water passage from Shouxi Lake to Daming Temple. The soil from the river was piled up into a small hill, which is now known as Xiaojin Mountain. Xiaojin Mountain is surrounded by water, and the water flows with the mountain. The mountain is alive because of the water.

Qianlong Fishing Terrace - A Exquisite Work of Landscape Frame Scenery

Diaoyutai is located in the center of Shouxi Lake, and its clever use of the "framed scenery" technique has become a classic work of Chinese garden "framed scenery" art.

At the western foot of Xiaojin Mountain, there is a dike that leads into the lake, and at the end of the dike is a square pavilion called "Blowing Terrace". It is said that Emperor Qianlong once fished here, hence it is also called Diaoyutai. The fishing platform faces the water on three sides, each with a circular gate and a hole. From the right side in front of the Diaoyutai Islands, the central circular hole perfectly captures the scenery of "Wuting Bridge", and the left circular hole perfectly captures the scenery of "White Pagoda", creating two separate images. Their skillful use of borrowed scenery is admirable.

In addition, you can also see the White Pagoda - the body of the White Pagoda is white, also known as the White Pagoda of Guanyin Temple. The tower has an octagonal plan, consisting of a tall waist cinched Sumeru pedestal, an octagonal double eaved pavilion style tower body, a large rate blocking wave, and a thirteen celestial wheel at the top. 306 meters high, with a brick and stone structure. The White Pagoda is 27.5 meters high, with a wooden brick carved Sumeru pedestal on the upper part of the tower base, granite stone strips on the lower part, and a waist tied Sumeru pedestal. It has eight sides and four corners, with three niches on each side, and twelve zodiac statues carved inside the niches. Unlike the thick and sturdy White Pagoda in Beihai, the White Pagoda has a symmetrical proportion. Wuting Bridge - the most beautiful bridge in China and a great place to enjoy the moon during the Mid Autumn Festival

Skinny West Lake "Tour" Gift - A Dazzling Cultural and Tourism Souvenir

The Shouxihu Tourist Gift Store, located across the Diaoyutai Islands, gathers eight categories of cultural and tourism products including home furnishings, clothing, stationery, children's fun, digital, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous items, etc. The variety of categories and styles is extremely rare among the 5A scenic spots in surrounding cities. More importantly, it not only has commemorative significance, but also has practical value in daily life.

Within the scope of the Shouxi Lake scenic area, in addition to this one, there are also shops such as the Garden Museum, Qianlong Hall, Fangting Post Office, Twenty Four Bridge Bookstore, Wangchun Tower, etc., which everyone can freely choose from. However, I am particularly interested in Yangzhou lacquerware, Yangzhou embroidery, rouge powder, and handicrafts. Exquisite and compact, incorporating intangible cultural heritage techniques. On a moonlit night at the Twenty Four Bridges, where can the jade man teach how to play the flute The Twenty Four Bridges comes from a poem by the famous Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, which goes: "The green mountains are faint and the water is far away, the autumn is over and the grass in Jiangnan has not withered; on the night of the bright moon at the Twenty Four Bridges, where can the jade man teach to play the flute. The Twenty Four Bridges are composed of a falling sail boardwalk, a single arch bridge, a nine curved bridge, and a blowing pavilion. The jade belt shaped arch bridge in the middle is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. There are 24 steps on each side of the bridge, surrounded by 24 white jade railings and 24 railings. It is a masterpiece of ancient bridge architecture. But do you mean one bridge or twenty-four bridges? There are different opinions. Jingxiang Bookstore - a garden that has won international awards The Jingxiang Bookstore is located to the west of the Zanhua Pavilion in the Shouxi Lake Wanhuayuan Scenic Area. Jingxiang Bookstore was rebuilt in 1992. The bookstore faces north and south, and is a three room blue brick and tile house with a typical Qing Dynasty architectural style. Jingxiang Bookstore "is the lacquer book of Jinnong. As the leader of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, Jinnong excels in poetry, literature, calligraphy, and painting. Jin Nong is skilled in painting plum blossoms. 'Without snow, one lacks spirit, and without snow, one becomes vulgar.'. Surrounded by Daiji pink walls, the painted boat is a half boat, the pavilion is a half pavilion, and only half of the beautiful women at the entrance of the Moon Cave lean against it, breaking the symmetry and regularity of the old garden and appearing lively and agile. The couplets on both sides of the main entrance were inscribed by Zheng Banqiao, another famous figure of the Eight Eccentrics: "Half of the Flying Tower in the Clouds, Amidst the Bamboo Trees in the Study". In the study, there are wooden carvings of pine trees and plum blossoms, a table with screens and vases, the Four Treasures of the Study placed on the desk, ancient books with threads placed on the multi treasure rack, and a game of Go on the round table, which makes people stop and play carefully. The aftertaste is endless. In 1993, the "Qingyin Garden" designed based on Jingxiang Bookstore participated in the "China Garden" exhibition at the Stuttgart Expo in Germany. With its distinctive ethnic characteristics and unique creative ideas, it won the "Golden Cup Award" and was permanently preserved in Germany. Yangpai Bonsai Museum - One of the Five Major Schools of Chinese Bonsai Yangpai bonsai is one of the excellent traditional arts in China and one of the five major schools of bonsai in China. The bonsai art school that originated in the Tang Dynasty and was named after Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Its one inch (one inch is 3.3.cm) three bend production technique is unparalleled in the world. The Yangpai Bonsai Museum, located within the Shouxihu Scenic Area, houses numerous excellent works of Yangpai bonsai; The exhibition hall is divided into indoor and outdoor areas, and visitors can experience the unique beauty of Yangzhou's garden city during their travels. The Yang style bonsai was already produced during the Tang and Song dynasties, and by the Qing dynasty, Yangzhou had extensively built gardens and developed bonsai. There was a saying that 'every household has a garden, and every household raises bonsai', which formed a school. The Yang style is exquisite, especially the pine, cypress, elm, and poplar (melon seed boxwood) that stand out from the rest, with distinct layers, strict and stable, rich in meticulous and decorative beauty, and Chinese cultural charm. It is renowned both at home and abroad. One of the Four Famous Gardens in China - A Garden In 2005, Geyuan was hailed as a national AAAA level tourist attraction and one of the twenty key parks in China. The garden is famous for its layered stone art, with bamboo shoots, lake stones, yellow stones, and suitable stones stacked together to create rockeries for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, winter, and winter. It integrates garden design principles with landscape painting principles and is praised as a "unique example in China" by the garden master Mr. Chen Congzhou. This private garden of a salt merchant's mansion in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty is famous for its widespread planting of green bamboo and its four season rockery. In the 23rd year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty (1818 AD), Huang Zhiyun, the salt merchant general of the two Huai regions, expanded the original Ming Dynasty "Shouzhi Garden" into a residential garden. There are mainly attractions such as Baoshan Tower, Qingyi Pavilion, Shushu Tower, Zhuqiu Pavilion, Yiyu Pavilion, and Miju Corridor. The biggest feature of the garden is the concept and architecture of the "Four Seasons rockery". In the garden with an area of less than 50 acres, four realistic rockery areas have been opened, named spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively. Yangzhou is known as the "Famous Capital of Huaizuo, Zhuxi Jiachu", and Zhuxi Jiachu comes from a garden. Geyuan is a typical private residential garden, which is divided into a central garden, a southern residential area, and a northern bamboo viewing area. When entering the garden from the residence, the first thing you see is the moon shaped garden gate, with the words "personal garden" written on the stone plaque on the gate. Behind the garden gate is the spring scenery, with the summer scenery located to the northwest of the garden, the autumn scenery to the northeast of the garden, and the winter scenery to the east of the spring scenery.
Individual Garden
