As long as you are brave, you will have a holiday every day. It's really nice to sneak into the niche city of Yangzhou to visit during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. At first, netizens in the group of travelers invited me to go with me, but later, the time was not coordinated and it became a one-day double tour with a buddy and myself + a one-day tour by myself. It's a pity that I was too busy before leaving and didn't make a good strategy. I just relied on my rich travel experience to adapt to the situation.

As a national civilized city, Yangzhou has intact road infrastructure and is suitable for (non-) motor vehicle travel. Thanks to good urban planning, buses drive very fast. The disadvantage is that there are no subways and there are very few shared bicycles. I ride a "Daha Chuxing" motorcycle that is suspected to be a local boss. The battery quality of this broken car is very poor, and the predicted cruising range is often problematic.

6.22 Wandongguan Street Pishi Street

My buddy and I arrived in Yangzhou and stayed in a small hotel near the Yangzhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The boss is a big sister who often wears light makeup. It seems that local women love to dress up regardless of age. There are also more women who smoke locally. We drove straight to Pishi Street and Dongguan Street. These two streets, one horizontal and one vertical, open the body of Yangzhou's old city. After visiting, I felt that this Laocheng District was worth walking around slowly and I was not in a hurry to finish it in one night.

A second-hand bookstore on Pishi Street. Opening a second-hand bookstore on a commercial street may be a show, but having more stores seems to be really interesting.
Clean commercial street, Laocheng District is more messy than this, but it's still okay.

We had dinner at the "Shangchunyuan Restaurant" at the south entrance of Pishi Street. I ordered hot dried shredded silk, lion head, fried amaranth and emerald rice (vegetable fried rice). This restaurant serves slowly, cooks average and charges more.

Iron and dry the silk until the sides are hard and the middle is soft. Guess that the surface of tofu hardened after a day.
Lion head. The soup and hot dried shredded shredded silk are both chicken stock and stock, except this one is salty.
This lion head is both fat and lean, and he didn't eat chili and ginger, but it wasn't tired of eating it. Strange.
At the corner of Dongguan Street, there are still many households engaged in the service industry in this neighborhood.
A famous restaurant on Dongguan Street. Unfortunately, such famous stores have to queue up.

Originally, I wanted to find a day to get on a boat from Dongguan Gudu and cross the entire ancient city of Yangzhou. But when he saw this kind of cruise ship, he suddenly didn't want to go. If you sit in the middle, you won't see anything. In addition, I oppose the so-called "canal night view" created with lights. From a tourism perspective, limited lighting at night cannot allow everyone to see clearly every tree; from an ecological perspective, this is a disaster.

A tributary of the ancient canal now basically only travels by passenger ships.

I suddenly discovered that this advertisement was suspected of fraud. From the map, it was obvious that this river ditch was not the entire picture of the ancient canal, just as the Jialing River could not represent the Yangtze River.

A friend recommended coming to Dongyuan Restaurant for breakfast. Dude woke me up after eight o'clock to eat. The one in the southeast corner of Yangda is clean and tidy, with rich and exquisite dishes, which is generally worth the price. The quality is not good enough. We ordered shrimp wonton, crab roe soup dumplings and Yangzhou fried rice. For the sake of original flavor, I didn't add vinegar and pepper, hoping to summarize the fresh and salty flavor of Huaiyang.

Yangzhou fried rice and shrimp wonton.
Crab roe dumplings. Roll the skin with fine noodles and wrap the succulent crab meat filling. I think the main difficulty lies in removing the crabs.

After visiting Slender West Lake, I couldn't figure out why tickets were sold and what services Slender West Lake Scenic Area could provide. This scenery is first-class in the city, but there are many places with good natural scenery. What is worth seeing is the natural scenery. Historically, there were many different gardens in this area, so its buildings were also distributed in different areas. Maybe there are too many people, and I am not interested in these renovated stone bridges and antique buildings.

As soon as you enter the door from the south gate, you can see countless thick locust trees.

A plastic cover made of something unknown.
fir trees.
The cruise ships on the river and the willows, camphor trees and fir trees on both sides are just a backdrop of the boundless sky.

The birds here are used to getting along with humans. Goldfinch and White-headed Bulbul can be observed up close on the small island in the middle of the river.

The goldfinch perches on the willow tree.
Human destruction of nature.
There is a puppet troupe locally, but there is no performance on this day.
A famous ship-shaped man-made building.

"It leaves no connection between people except naked interests and ruthless" cash transactions." It drowns the sacred episodes of religious piety, chivalry zeal, and petty citizen sadness in the ice of egoistic plans."

Meat is sold next to the incense burner.
When you see the tall and straight of these fir trees, you will fall in love with the beauty of nature.

The "Twenty-Four Bridge" is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide and has 24 bricks. What is clever is that the scenic area stated that crossing the bridge has been "rebuilt."

Southern gardens have the characteristics of being small and refined. This small bridge is practically meaningless. It is purely decorative yet very natural and unobtrusive.

The body should be small and the color should be as consistent as possible with the surroundings.
Someone put the flowers of oxalis on the temples of these sculptures.
In gardens, landscaping of this scale is already quite atmospheric.
Antique buildings. I didn't take it well from this angle.

In order to visit the Geyuan, we drove east from Slender West Lake and planned to eat at Jiangjiaqiao and other restaurants in the Dongguan Street area. Unexpectedly, there were too many people to queue up, so we rushed over and visited the small garden Geyuan at 2:30 in the afternoon. To be honest, I am not at all interested in this kind of indoor confinement environment. I thought the environment would be more open and refined than I imagined.

Perhaps during the holidays, there are many people in well-known shops.
The garden wall.
The "Summer View" of the garden is a back garden made of rockery pavilions.
Use pine trees to create landscapes.
There is a collection of authentic works of Banqiao. From this perspective, can you see the bamboo forest in front and back?
A child's wish sign.
Influenced by Hui-style buildings, the courtyard walls are high and the corridors are narrow.
Only when I saw the guide map did I realize that Geyuan was just a small house.
In the alleys of Laocheng District, countless former residences of famous people are hidden in them like this.
Zhu Ziqing's home. The land in Yangzhou's Laocheng District is tight, and the area of residents 'homes is as narrow as today's tube-shaped buildings.
The bed is very small, so life must be uncomfortable when you want to come to it.
There are bedrooms on both sides of a room.
Sugar water. The production process required half a cup of white sugar, which strengthened my determination to lose weight.

In the evening, my brother had something to say goodbye, so I took advantage of the sky to go to Songjia City to reminisce about the past.

The Yangzhou government used the interior of the newly built city wall to build a special fitness room.

Several visiting units I visited today were all in the western part of the city. I originally wanted to visit the China Grand Canal Museum, but the map and reviews said that it was just an Internet celebrity attraction that was not worth visiting, so I gave up and continued to visit the Laocheng District instead, mainly looking at Ganquan Road. Although I didn't see many precious cultural relics, I directly encountered the cultural heritage inherited by Huaizuo Mingdu to this day.

Dongyuan Small Restaurant, dry mixed noodles. The fresh aroma of shrimp oil is unique, and I think it can be done better. Kidney soup is a failure.
There were almost no people in the art museum.
In the exhibition, only this painting is considered acceptable.
In the so-called "city study", the terminal launched by the Himalayas. The experience is okay, but the resources are not very rich.
It is said that there are nearly twenty such places in the city. Yangzhou's cultural characteristics can be seen.
Yangzhou City Library actively organizes activities. Although it seems like a show, it is like a cultural city often.
Libraries also have the characteristics of "small but sophisticated".
What can and cannot be borrowed is clear at a glance.

I saw that this automatic book borrowing and returning machine was the same model as the one in the school, so I took my student card and ticked it casually, but of course there was no response. But the staff were very enthusiastic to help me "solve my problems". Hahaha

There is actually an audio-visual borrowing service with a lot of resources.
Outside the window, the sky is clear and the building is outside.
Zhu Ziqing seemed to be hiding from the rain. Pretty comfortable.

Yangzhou Museum has not many collections, which can be called simple. He is good at porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

[Tang] Nanmu dragon boat. Yangzhou's shipbuilding industry has been developed since ancient times.
Purple plate with clear eggplant skin.
Clear the lotus dragon pattern plate intertwined with branches.
Beautiful.
Clear the colorful cup.
Small but refined.
Colorful cup. The pattern still shines today.

I took some inspirational quotes from the guest book. The security guard on duty saw that I had been sitting for a long time, and took the initiative to chat with me for about half an hour.

Xu Zhong landscape painting. His characteristic is that the trees are painted too densely, and only this one is okay.

The third floor of Yangzhou Museum introduces the ancient history of Yangzhou.

Ancient Hangou.
Princess Guangling of the Han Dynasty married the Xiongnu and wrote this poem.
The ring-headed sword is the most practical weapon in this room.

Jiang Xinjing, now in Singapore.
Tang Duan Yan. It is well preserved and is still smooth today.
A crude and lovely font.
I didn't know why a single article covered the entire Tang Dynasty. When the artistic conception reaches, you will naturally understand it.
The bright moon on the sea shares the tide.
The nine autumn winds are dew and the Yue kiln opens, capturing the green colors of the thousands of peaks.
The bronze mirror of the twelve zodiac animals inscribed with the inscription "Renshou" is unparalleled.
Monk Jianzhen.
Rabbit hair bowl.

The world is three-point bright moon and night, and two-point scoundrels are in Yangzhou. Go to visit Erfen Mingyue Tower! This garden uses a lot of elements of the "moon". It is very interesting and is free to visit. In the Laocheng District of Yangzhou, it is very difficult to find. I ate and walked around.

15 yuan a catty of sesame flowers. I always feel that it is too expensive and the taste is average.
Snack prices.
The alleys of Laocheng District have been like this for decades
It took a long time to find the place with the help of comrades in this community library. It turned out that its entrance was so inconspicuous.
Rockery pavilions. The small building must be climbed up from the rockery.
Accompanying Moon Pavilion.
Podocarpus by the pool.
Kiosters, small bridges, wells and corridors all contain the "moon".
The main building plaque.
Fire in Yangzhou. The shell is properly thick, high in oil and salt, and it will have a unique flavor when eaten hot.
Crab yellow dumplings from Jiming Soup Dumplings Chain Store. This kind of product looks like a frozen semi-finished product at a glance. It can't work.
Their family's Qiuju soup dumplings are still very unique. The bitterness of the chrysanthemum just eliminates the smell.
