preface

During my trip 4 years ago, I had a great chat with diners at the next table over the delicious food

During this period, I talked about being a northerner who especially loved small bridges and flowing rivers

Yangzhou diners warmly extended an invitation: Be sure to come to my hometown to have a visit

So I slapped the table and immediately made a happy decision: Yangzhou will be in March next year.

Unexpectedly, I was stumped by the sudden epidemic

In 2023, we will keep the clouds open and see the moon bright

Chasing the tail of the third lunar month, I finally took my mother down to Yangzhou

respect to row

DAY1：

Tianjin South-Yangzhou East G2571 9:45-14:24

PS: The outbound design of Yangzhou East Railway Station is very unfriendly

There are only signs at the escalator entrance, which is difficult for foreign tourists to find.

I went straight to the elevator, but was told that I couldn't leave the station and had to take an escalator to leave the station.

However, other passengers on the same train as me were released

Take a taxi to Bai Yulan Hotel

Back to my sweet little home

about eating

DAY1：

Breakfast: Eat mother's brand breakfast on the high-speed train

Lunch: Eat Mother's burger on the high-speed train

Dinner: Lotus Root Rhythm [Sixi Tangyuan + Silk Lotus Root Cake + Three Fresh Lotus Root Dried Fried Dumplings] 20 yuan per person

PS: The outer skin of Sixi Tangyuan is made of lotus root flour. Each filling is different, and it is served with osmanthus brown sugar water.

The overall taste is sweet, suitable for afternoon tea or dessert after dinner

Although the silky lotus root cake is stained with chopsticks, it does not touch the teeth at all. It has a magical taste and an average taste.

The three-fresh lotus root fried dumplings taste ordinary and can be mixed with sweets, but they are still very tiresome.

Coarse tea and rice [braised lion head + fried glutinous rice meatballs] 16 yuan per capita

PS: Lion head is delicious, not salty or greasy

Glutinous rice meatballs can be full and can be used as a staple food

PPS: His family's most famous sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root flour round did not order. Diners at the neighboring table said it was too strong and couldn't bite it

DAY2：

Breakfast: Yiyuan [Crab yellow soup dumplings + Yangchun noodles + hot dried shredded + Sanding buns + Wuding buns + shrimp meat dumplings + thousand-layer oil cake] 53 yuan per person

PS: Yangchun noodles look ordinary, but the actual ingredients are exquisite, salty, fresh and refreshing

Hot dried silk breaks stereotypes. It is no longer a clear soup but a delicious taste.

The shrimp dumplings taste amazing, and the juice overflows in one bite

Other general, standard local characteristics

PPS: Yiyuan is delicious and inexpensive, with a complete range of products

If conditions permit, I recommend trying all Huaiyang specialties here

Unfortunately, he doesn't have an online store at home, so he can't eat it when he leaves.

Lunch: Quyuan Tea House [Jade Shaomai + Salted Old Goose + Spiced Smoked Fish + Eight-Treasure Gourd Duck + Truffle Zizania] 275 yuan per person

PS: Jade Shaomai is vegetarian stuffed with shepherd's purse and has ultra-thin skin

It takes 40 minutes to wait for the eight-treasure gourd duck. When serving, it will spend more time, and it will be stir-fried and freshly poured with sauce.

Others are very ordinary

PPS: Since I watched the documentary, I have been poisoned by gourds and ducks

Unfortunately, because of the limited edition, I haven't eaten it in Tianjin.

Thinking of making up for it in the place of origin, I specially chose a Black Pearl Second Diamond restaurant

I never expected to step on lightning

The service and environment are very good, but the dishes are so disappointing

It's not worth 1.5 hours in line

PPPS: The waiter is so nice. Seeing that there are so many dishes left, he asked us if we haven't eaten well.

After getting a positive answer, I recommended going to Yiyuan, Yechun and other time-honored brands to eat

Improve your impression of Huaiyang cuisine

Dinner: None

DAY3：

Breakfast + lunch: Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling Noodle Shop [Bamboo Shoots and Meat Pot Stickers + Shrimp Seed Dumpling Noodles + Five Dins Big Bags + Yangzhou Fried Rice + Kidney Flower Soup] 26 yuan per person

PS: Kidney flower soup is quite special. It is a rare way to eat it in the north. It is not fishy or fishy, and it tastes fresh.

Yangzhou fried rice is plain and ordinary, just ordinary home-cooked egg fried rice

other general

Dinner: Eat 7 and 8 bars Sunshine Restaurant [Huaiyang soft pocket + grilled fish with onions + cherry blossom shrimp shepherd's purse rice cake + Wensi tofu soup] 190 yuan per person

PS: Huaiyang soft pockets are good, clean and moderately sweet and salty

Wensi Tofu Soup can hardly tell the texture of tofu. Only the chef's superb cutting skills can be seen, and the mouth is very clear.

The cherry blossom shrimp shepherd's purse rice cake tastes magical. After mixing several ingredients, it actually tastes like ginger.

The slices of fish roasted with green onions are almost must-ordered at the table. The food is served quickly and the taste is relatively ordinary

PPS: 7 Eat 8 Bar Sunshine Restaurant + Quyuan Tea House + Yangzhou Banquet all belong to the same catering group

I wanted to check in all of them, but my first stop was Quyuan Tea House.

I don't know why there are so many recommendations online

For foreign diners, the dishes are mediocre

You don't have to wait in long lines to come here

about playing

Follow my camera

Experience the fireworks in Yangzhou up close

geyuan| A paradise for bamboo lovers

The wall at the door is too eye-catching

The carving process is very exquisite

It's for sacrifices to the gods

Typical Chinese garden

Walking among them, you can see almost every step

You can listen to the guide talk about the designer's ingenuity

You can also stroll around and take some charming photos

I heard that the original owner of the garden was a rich salt merchant who loved bamboo very much

Not only are they grown everywhere in the garden

Even the name of the garden is related to it.

The word "bamboo" is divided into two characters "ge"

Gu Ming "Geyuan"

The bamboo leaves fluttered in the wind, like a string of living "ge" characters

Really literary

Dongguan Street| Integration of ancient and modern times, and delicious food is everywhere

Coming out from the south gate of Geyuan is Dongguan Street

This street is not long. If you don't go to the store, you can walk it in about 30 minutes.

Snack bars, bars, specialty shops, pedicure shops, Xie Fuchun, B & Bs, etc. are all available

Have some special snacks for dinner

After having a full meal and wine, it is very comfortable to walk along the antique streets

This bamboo milk tea costs 30 yuan and is only suitable for taking photos

The ice cream + milk tea has no flavor, and the amount is still large

Very appetizing, missed many snacks, not recommended

I'm not sure if not a single goose can get out of Yangzhou alive

Anyway, there are people selling stewed geese everywhere in the streets

fun garden| Enjoy Slender West Lake while eating

Quyuan Tea House is in Quyuan

Quyuan is in the hotel

Don't be deceived by performance

Follow the navigation and rush boldly

Along the way, birds sing, flowers are fragrant, bridges and flowing water

It's like entering a paradise outside the world

until interrupted by the business instructions

I instantly became nervous

I'm afraid I can't get my lunch number

While waiting, preview the scenery of Slender West Lake in advance

Be careful when selecting the restaurant on the map

Barber Museum| Look at the history of hair styles

Museum of Traditional Pedicure| What exactly is a "water foreskin"

World Food Capital Exhibition Hall| A gathering of world cuisine

slender West Lake| twenty four moonlit bridges

After seeing the West Lake in Hangzhou

When you mention Yangzhou Slender West Lake, you always feel more yearning

Wanted to see how different it was

The biggest impression after shopping is

West Lake Free

Tickets for Slender West Lake

The swans in Slender West Lake are not only afraid of people

and close to people.

're lucky

We can interact well

full of wild interest

Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I left

I couldn't see with my own eyes the legendary bright moon night of the 24th Bridge

But it's just in time for the night show

Historical attractions + modern technology

The experience is fresh and interesting

Mom and I agreed that evening performances were much more interesting than matinees

There are light shows at all attractions in the evening performance

But I didn't know the specific arrangements, so I missed a lot

It is recommended to arrange in advance and watch it in order for the effect to be better

Grand Canal Museum| Integrate long-term knowledge + taking photos and checking in

Away from Laocheng District, located in the development zone

It looks like a big ship with majestic momentum

You can rent an interpreter after entering the interior

You need to swipe your ID card, 20 yuan/unit, unlimited time limit, you can use it for closure

There are all kinds of exquisite boat models

One exhibition hall is an antique building

Very suitable for taking photos in Hanfu/Cheongsam

It's very good to take pictures casually

Other casual shots

summary

Yangzhou is full of small bridges and flowing water

But different from Wuzhen

Missing a piece of literature and art

It has an extra flavor of the city fireworks

If you want to live a slow-paced life, enjoy the gardens

Then you must come and see it for yourself

Otherwise, it is not recommended to use this as your only destination

You can walk and take a taxi when you go out in Yangzhou

Taking the bus is not recommended, it is too far from your destination

You don't have to pursue famous restaurants in terms of food

Various snacks are enough
