I don't know if you can guess which country hotel it is by looking at the cover picture? Yangzhou Guest House. Let me give you a cold tip: Provincial capitals are generally called state guesthouses, and prefecture-level cities are called guest guesthouses. However, in terms of specifications, Yangzhou guest guesthouses have probably received much more leaders than many "state guesthouses."
Everyone in the world knows fireworks in Yangzhou in March, and Slender West Lake is beautiful all year round, but I can help you directly contract a section of Slender West Lake into the hotel. You can take a boat directly from the hotel dock to enter the most beautiful part of Slender West Lake. You can also take the best breakfast in Yangzhou. Tea garden, the swimming pool is real hot spring water... I am afraid it will be difficult to experience it several times in your life to enjoy this private garden alone.
Yangzhou Guest House is actually located on the south side of the intersection of Slender West Lake Road and Changchun Road, known as the most beautiful avenue. It feels like entering the gate is like entering the Grand View Garden.
Indeed, Slender West Lake was the location of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber". Many important scenes such as Daiyu's burial of flowers, Daiyu's departure from home by boat, Baoyu's beating, and Third Sister You committed suicide were filmed in Slender West Lake.
In the large courtyard of Yangzhou Guesthouse, the numbers of large and small buildings have reached 15. They are basically called "X-Fangyuan". The name is bright and beautiful, and it is really a "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Yongfang Garden, Building 9, where many national leaders have lived,
Shufang Garden, Guifang Garden, Wanfang Garden... If you played a guzheng and played a flute, you probably thought you were visiting the Grand View Garden.
This time I stayed in Fufang Garden, Building 8. As the online comments said, it is currently the latest building with the most fashionable design style in Yangzhou Guesthouse. I also recommend this building for relatives with children. After all, it is new and convenient. I saw many people coming to take wedding photos.
I stayed in Shanyue·Landscape Family Room in Building 8 this time.
The room faces an antique pavilion with trees. Even when I get up early in the morning and write against this scenery, I feel elegant. (Hahaha, it must be written like a Dream of Red Mansions, right?) Between the light and shadow at night, or in the hazy rain, there is also a unique beauty.
Nowadays, the top standard of hotel spare parts is Hermes. After staying for two days, we collected two sets of small green bottles. It's not too profitable, haha.
In addition to Dyson's hair dryer, the bathroom is also equipped with Unijia's makeup remover wipes and bottled bath salts. Even anti-mosquito wipes are ready. The state guesthouse's thoughtfulness is extraordinary. There are also capsule coffee and Evian mineral water, which are really a top match.
Slippers, bathrobes, quality and style are a little different and high-end. Especially the slippers. You can take them away anyway. The State Guesthouse has invested a lot of money, and the green colors look good.
I went online and studied it. Except for Building 8 where I lived, several buildings in Yangzhou Guesthouse each have different characteristics. Let me list them for everyone:
Shoufang Garden, Building 1: The earliest building was built along the water and has a traditional garden style. But it's also beautiful after being renovated.
Shufang Garden, Building 2: A hotel villa building with a few rooms and was renovated in 2018.
Wanfang Garden, Building 3: The price is relatively cheap, and there are also parent-child rooms. There is a room with a lake view.
Building 6: This is a single-family villa with 5 single rooms.
Yongfang Garden, Building 9: Leaders live in this building all the time. The overall situation is very atmospheric and the conditions are also good.
Building 8 has its own gym, which is a sunken design. One wall is opened to make a long window, which looks like a frame of a Chinese oil painting. Looking at this scenery, Mom Meow also wants to be a fitness master.
The swimming pool is in Building 15 next door and is easy to walk. I want to make a grand introduction. You can experience two keywords:
1. Full hot spring water
You are right, it is actually a huge hot spring pool with a real-time full circulation system. Imagine swimming in fresh real hot spring water every day. What a "luxurious" experience! Water wrap, wrap it here!
2. Length of 50 meters
It is said that the swimming pool in the hotel can reach this length, which is rare in China. Mom Meow can't swim. I heard from a friend who can swim that she'll be tired after a round trip.
The entire building No. 8 is beautiful, and it is also excellent to read a book quietly.
The courtyard is also beautiful, so it is worth setting aside most of the day to stroll around. Pavilions, pavilions, ponds, and bridges are in the classical style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They don't need to leave the hotel at all. They already have the most beautiful scenery in Yangzhou's prosperous times.
I strongly recommend bringing a few cheongsam to visit the garden, but I suddenly thought I had traveled through it.
Kids also have something to play with, feeding fish, chasing birds, and picking osmanthus (when I went, the garden was really full of osmanthus fragrance, refreshing)... There are also large tracts of lawns. Nature is so beautiful.
At night, the quiet lights lit up all over the garden, neither thick nor light, and the gorgeous eaves looked even more charming under the light.
The day is solemn and atmospheric, the night is gorgeous and clear, and every side is breathless beautiful. This is your private garden!
What are you doing in Yangzhou? Eat, of course! And it's a big deal.
| Quyuan Tea House
Quyuan is located in the corner of the courtyard of the guest house, closest to Building 8. But it is a fully open area that leads directly to the outside road, and all diners can enter and exit. The artistic conception of the antique private garden from the inside out is simply amazing.
The menu is served and we have lunch.
I strongly recommend this eight-treasure gourd duck for the auspicious meaning of "blessing" and "".
The whole duck must first be deboned using professional techniques. It is a great trick to peel the bones without breaking them. Then brew eight fillings into the duck's belly, and then shape it with the belt filling into a gourd shape. After several hours of steaming and roasting, it is sprinkled with mellow sauce before serving on the table.
When eating, even the belt meat and stuffing are put into your mouth. The duck skin and duck meat covered in thick oil and red sauce is tender and fresh. You can occasionally chew grains of ham, shrimp, and scallops in the soft rice. The more you chew, the more satisfied you become. I can't help but eat it one bite after another.
Yangzhou dried silk of course needs to be cooked freshly,
Picking up a pair of chopsticks, the shredded tofu has already absorbed the essence of chicken soup, shredded cloud clouds, fresh bamboo shoots, etc., and it is extremely fresh.
Stewed lion's head is a must-eat when you come to Yangzhou! Let's start with a spoonful of clear soup, so that your eyebrows will drop. Another piece of meat will be soft but not scattered. It will melt without much chewing, and the aroma will be full of fragrance.
Other cold dishes and hot stir-fried dishes also have their own characteristics.
The cooked drunk crab is salty and fresh with the aroma of wine;
Matsutake mushroom skirt cup, the soup is clear and delicious;
The first dish of the state banquet,"stir-fried soft pockets", is actually rice eel. The taste, heat, and oil are all very particular. The tender and smooth eel is wrapped in thick red sauce. There is only one word: fragrant!
There is also this beautiful and delicious squirrel mandarin fish, which is sweet and sour, suitable for all ages.
The final item was Yangzhou fried rice. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined that the real Yangzhou fried rice was made from casserole.
After frying, the rice was really clear, with a trace of egg floss in between.
For morning tea the next day, I must continue to go to Quyuan.
As soon as the menu is on, ginkgo leaves are bookmark and paired, which is better than countless autumn days. You can eat whatever you say, this artistic conception is the most important.
Of course, eating is still important. Crab yellow soup dumplings may seem ordinary but have hidden mysteries. In the second episode of a documentary "Crab's Journey" on CCTV9, the process of making crab yellow soup dumplings is detailed.
If you want to eat gracefully, you must recite the mantra: gently lift, slowly move, open the window first, and then drink the soup. It's okay without using a straw. It tastes more simple. It's really a bag of fresh and thick crab roe soup that overflows your mouth.
Pushing gauze to watch the moon is originally a famous Sichuan dish. Its name comes from "pushing the moon out of the window behind closed doors, and throwing a stone to open the sky under the water." When I came to Huaiyang, I added sea cucumbers to enhance freshness and increase the quality of ingredients. With just one bite, you will know how beautiful it is.
The most important thing to not miss is of course Quyuan's Wuding Bao, including diced ginseng, diced chicken, diced pork, diced bamboo shoots, diced shrimp... What else is not delicious? I really want to pack five cages and take away!
| Yangzhou Banquet Wang Zengqi Banquet
The Yangzhou banquet is known as the textbook version of Huaiyang cuisine, and the twelve leading flavors were photographed here. Hexi Garden, Yangzhou Guesthouse, etc. are all from the same group. We went to two houses.
The environment is not excellent.
There is a poem at the door of each box, and some boxes also have poems and paintings by Wang Zengqi. They are poetic and picturesque, with a flavor of the world.
The private rooms of Wang Zengqi's banquet are decorated in an ancient style. Before coming to Yangzhou, it is best to read Lao Wang's articles and express the best flavor of the world that remains in the heart of your heart with a light pen. Once you taste it again, you will have a different flavor.
This set of Wang Zengqi's banquet is true. Not only are they all unique flavors of his hometown written by Lao Wang, but they also have a personal authorization letter from Wang Zengqi's son.
This pot of "braised lion head" should be opened with a full sense of ceremony.
The casserole is simmering with golden soup, and round meatballs are inlaid with round jade. If the family comes to do this during a festival, a complete and warm atmosphere will immediately be created.
Guess the name of this tofu dish? The tofu that Lao Wang likes. You are right, this is the name of the dish! Isn't it interesting?
After thinking about Lao Wang's words, I stopped speaking when the pearls and jade were in front of me. "Cut the tofu into small slices the size of fingernails, push it into the shrimp soy sauce soup, roll it a few times, thin and thicken it, pour a spoonful of cooked lard into a grand bowl, and you will get it. It's called 'Wang tofu', probably because it has a layer of oil on it."
There are too many delicious dishes. When Mom Meow rushed from Shenzhen to Yangzhou that day, she only made it to the second half of the game. She would take the beautiful pictures taken by her friend Lisa and give everyone a lick, haha.
| Yangzhou Yansongcheng Mountain Villa
There is another good place to eat in Yangzhou Banquets, at Songcheng Villa. The most amazing thing is that the waiters are all Korean girls, who are gentle and lovely. They will also perform song and dance performances during the banquet. Unfortunately, we can't take pictures, let's make up our minds.
The fragrant seafood hot pot,
Delicious ingredients with their own characteristics... I think I can write three more articles about Yangzhou just for the sake of food! Brake first.
By the way, Songjia City, where we are located, is also a park, which is opposite the guest house. You really have fun around it.
| Yangzhou Banquet Morning Tea
The morning tea at the Yangzhou banquet is also worth eating. Why? Autumn charm, autumn meaning, autumn richness, autumn harvest... are all extremely delicious.
Interestingly, this morning tea is a matching version of Yangzhou morning tea + Guangzhou morning tea.
When my favorite preserved egg and lean pork porridge is served with my favorite Yangzhou Simei pickles, the flavor of Cantonese and Yangyang is amazing!
My favorite Yangzhou meat buns are full of soup and the aroma of meat wafts away. I don't need anything else. Please pack a dozen meat buns for me!
There are also big fried dough sticks that are bigger than my face. Haha, thank you, it makes my face smaller again!
| 7 Eat 8 Bar Sunshine Restaurant
There is also a more modern and fashionable restaurant called "7 Eat 8 Bar" in Yangzhou Guesthouse that is super worth eating, which is also owned by their group. I won't talk about other dishes. This CAVIAR roe roast duck is served with mango bread. It is sweet, salty, crisp, crispy... It combines multiple flavors and tastes, and it is amazing again! To be honest, with these ingredients, one piece is the same price.
By the way, there is also a must-eat favorite, Yangzhou Old Goose! I have long heard a folk saying,"No goose can get out of Yangzhou alive", but it was really after going this time that I understood how good Yangzhou people can eat geese.
But to be honest, Yangzhou's geese, whether they are saltwater geese or stewed geese, or goose heads (really big one after another), are all made to be moderately soft and soft, and are not firewood or greasy. Although they look "raw", they are so delicious, haha ~
When you come to Yangzhou, you still have to have fun. Let's just say a few briefly.
| slender West Lake
Yangzhou Guesthouse is actually connected to Slender West Lake, so you can take a boat to enter the center of Slender West Lake from the hotel.
The feeling of sailing in Slender West Lake is really great. I'm sure the kids will love it. Especially when crossing the Wuting Bridge, sitting at the stern and watching the boat pass through the hole, swimming leisurely, rippling, it was simply stunning.
| slender West Lake hot spring
When I came to Yangzhou, I had to try water wrapped in water, so I had to try water wrapped in water wrapped. It is also the same group as Yangzhou Guesthouse. The Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort opposite it is a real hot spring, delicate and smooth. (This resort is so suitable for kids. I want to take kids there again when the opportunity ~)
It's really nice to spend most of the day soaking in the pools one by one. I even feel like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, hahaha!
The most amazing thing is that the first mahjong game in Meow's life was actually played in the hot spring! It's really fairy mahjong, haha, it's amazing!
| geyuan
It takes a 20-minute taxi ride to reach the famous Yangzhou Geyuan. It is quite interesting to have a guide and tell stories at this kind of scenic spot with many stories. It is much more beneficial than walking around yourself.
Geyuan was a private house of a salt merchant in the Qing Dynasty. It was built in three places and out in a very orderly manner. The halls, towers, pavilions, and rockery, with its huge scale and fine layout, all show the wealth and luxury of its owner at that time.
| Dongguan Street
Geyuan and Dongguan Street are very close. You can go to Dongguan Street to eat Yangzhou snacks after shopping in the garden. Haha ~ Talking about eating again, it's really a foodie.
Dongguan Street is a place that becomes more and more lively at night. Try to wait for the evening to go there. It is very beautiful when the lanterns on the street gradually light up. The small shops on both sides sell a wide variety of things, modern and traditional, and they are integrated in no way inconsistent. After the hotel, it will be difficult to choose a hotel in the future...
