Yangzhou was called Guangling, Jiangdu and Weiyang in ancient times; it was suitable for breeze, moonlight, light rain, and gluttony. It is located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is a beautiful place that brings together literati and literati, and a wonderful place that carries a lot of history.

When mentioning Yangzhou, the first thing that comes to mind is Li Bai's "Fireworks under Yangzhou in March", then Du Mu's "Yangzhou Dream in Ten Years", and Jiang Kui's "The Famous Capital of Huaizuo, the Best Place in Zhuxi". There is also Emperor Yang's Yangzhou to see Qionghua.

I arrived in Yangzhou on the morning of April 21 in the Gregorian calendar, which is March 17 in the lunar calendar (March of Fireworks), and started a one-and-a-half-day tour. On cloudy days, the photos taken all look like cities under the rule of heavy industry. They are very gloomy and unsightly. However, nearly a year later, when I opened it, I found that Yangzhou is indeed beautiful with fireworks in March!

Specific itinerary: Eat and eat in Garden Tea House-Slender West Lake-Shopping and eat in Dongguan Street-Accommodation-Geyuan-Shopping and eat in Dongguan Street-End

I arrived at Yangzhou Station by train. Looking out, you can see the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The river is very wide and there are boats sailing. The transportation is very convenient. As soon as you leave Yangzhou Station, you will see the No. 18 bus to take. The air in the morning is a little cold, and there is a smell of night primrose in the air. Yangzhou dialect is very good. Looking out from the bus, the roads are clean and tidy, and the buildings in residential areas are very beautiful. They are very different from the residential buildings in the north. They are like Jiangnan. What a good city to live in. However, holding marathon events in the morning and raining all the time in the afternoon greatly reduced the mood and efficiency of playing.

In the morning, I first went to the Garden Tea House for morning tea. This is different from morning tea in Guangdong. When it comes to eating, I think it is still biased towards the north. There are many people and you need to queue up. In addition to tourists, there are also many local people who come to eat, most of whom pack them and take them away. There are counter channels dedicated to selling steamed buns and counter seats dedicated to eating in teahouses. We go to the counter to order food first, and the cashier will give you your receipt and then go find a seat yourself. There are too many people and there are not enough seats, so most of them are divided tables. I did it on a turntable of about 10 people, four people. Sit in your seat and when you see the waiter, give her the ticket and she will bring the meal to you later. (There are many people, but the waiter has a good memory).

The more famous one in the teahouse is Wuding Bao. The stuffing is fragrant but not greasy. It is 6 yuan each, which is not cheap. I also ordered crab roe soup dumplings, which were full of soup and scalded my tongue. Green Yang Spring Tea is quite fragrant and tender. I don't know about tea. (Eating alone is miserable.)

After eating, I plan to go to Slender West Lake. The mood is not very good. Because the Jianzhen International Half Marathon in Yangzhou, China was being held that day. The bus took a few stops because of the event. Everyone got off the bus. There are no buses, taxis, or shared bicycles on the road. When I walked to Slender West Lake, I relied on my 11th Road. It was beautiful! (When you go to Yangzhou, you must check whether there are any events held).

Walk to Slender West Lake and buy tickets. Most of the tourists inside are elderly groups. Slender West Lake is quite big. A few attractions that impressed me deeply:

Wuting Bridge. "Five pavilions are built on the top and four wings below, and there are five out of ten on the front side of the bridge hole. "The architectural styles are both the show of the south and the hero of the north. It's beautiful, but the bridge is really touching.

Twenty-four Bridge. This name is so famous. Du Mu's "The Twenty-Four Bridges is Bright on the Night, Where Can the Jade Man Teach to Play the flute"; Jiang Kui's "The Twenty-Four Bridges are Still There, The Waves Are Swinging, The Cold Moon Is Silent." Read the red medicine beside the bridge, and you will know who it is born every year." I also thought of Xu Song's song "Red Medicine by the Bridge Sigh that the Night is Too Long". The 24th Bridge is a single-hole arch bridge with white marble railings that are elegant like jade belts and neon waves. The bridge is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide, with 24 columns and 24 floors of platform levels, corresponding to 24 places everywhere.

Long embankment spring willows. I always thought this was the best one. The picturesque scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can see fishermen wearing coir (it rained at the time) and cormorants (lu ci) performing fishing, attracting tourists from around you to stop and watch and cheer.

Xichun Terrace. It can only be said that it is quite beautiful and the building is quite tall.

White Tower. The body is white, also known as the White Pagoda of Guanyin Temple. When I saw this white tower, I thought it was a building from Southeast Asia, but it was a little abrupt and I was deeply impressed.

After the end of Slender West Lake, go to Dongguan Street. Walking through several cities, I found that almost every city has a business circle, which collects snacks from all over the country and even around the world. Dongguan Street is very similar. Yangzhou's characteristics were commercialized. After walking around, I found that what was sold were all things found in business circles across the country. I bought some very ordinary things: roasted squid, ham, handmade sugar, etc.

After walking around Dongguan Street a few times, I returned to the hotel.

Went to Geyuan the next day. After walking through several southern cities, I compared the garden buildings in the north. It was very novel to see the garden buildings in the south at first. After seeing more, I found that many of them were similar, with small bridges and flowing water, pine forests and green bamboos, and I felt boring. Geyuan is a private garden of Yangzhou salt merchants 'residences in the Qing Dynasty. It is famous for its planting of green bamboos and its rockery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. He looked around like a cursory sight.

Later, we went to Dongguan Street for dinner. I ate Jiangjiaqiao pasta. There are also too many people, which is really unclean! After eating, go to Yangzhou Airport and go to school. The airport is not big and there are not many people.

After looking at Yangzhou, I feel that this city is so suitable for settling down! Unfortunately, I didn't go to Songcheng and didn't know if Yangzhou fried rice was delicious.

The epidemic is over and the spring is just in time. Let's have fireworks in Yangzhou in March!
