Departure:

Li Bai's "My old friend leaves the Yellow Crane Tower in the West, and the fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March" is well known.

Spring is here, and in a flash it is already March. When spring is warm and flowers are blooming, people are tired of the days when the epidemic cannot travel far and are ready to move. 3.21 After visiting the tomb in advance, relatives discussed where to go in spring. In the end, the decision was to make the fireworks go to Yangzhou in March. Since my friends had to go to work, they decided to start a two-day tour on April 10.

Travel days are certain, and things such as booking tickets online and doing strategies are my old driver's business. They are done in minutes. Due to time and weather constraints, I choose to go in the morning on the first day, check out at noon the next day, and return to Shanghai after lunch. It will rain at 2 p.m. Everything is ready and wait quietly for the trip.

Arrive at Hongqiao Railway Station early in the morning on April 10, take the D2928 train at 6:53, and arrive at Yangzhou East Station in about two hours, which is much more convenient than before to transfer buses from Zhenjiang.

It was rainy in the previous stage, but this day was a big explosion in character. The weather was clear, there were no clouds, and the sky was blue and blue. After leaving the station, the three families took three taxis to the hotel

Sitting in the car, I recalled the past and more than 20 years in the future. I saw that the Yangzhou Bridge was so beautiful and that high-rise buildings in the development zone had also been built. I was very moved and very happy. I couldn't help but shout, Yangzhou I'm here!

Arriving at the Berman Hotel, checked in smoothly, put down my luggage and went out for morning tea. Morning tea is a must-have when you come to Yangzhou. There is a saying: Yangzhou people wrap their bags with water in the morning and wrap them with water at night. It means eating steamed buns in the morning and soaking in the bathhouse at night. Yangzhou people's life since ancient times has been so leisurely and slow-paced. Perhaps it is due to historical reasons.

Popularize Yangzhou. In ancient times, it was called Guangling, Jiangdu, and Weiyang. The history of the city's founding dates back to 486 BC. Yangzhou has a long history, splendid culture, prosperous commerce, and outstanding people. 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 city closely surrounded by Nanjing Metropolitan Area and a city in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. It is the water source of the east route of the national key project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. It is known as the "Famous Capital of Huaizuo and the Best Place in Zhuxi"; it is also known as the No. 1 Canal City in China and one of China's first historical and cultural cities. Historically, there are stories such as the "Tomb of the King of Guangling in the Han Dynasty", the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty saw the Qionghua, the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou and Monk Jianzhen crossed eastward, and Shi Kefa fought against the Qing Dynasty.

Yechun Tea House

Yangzhou morning tea is the three most famous ones: Fuchun, Yechun, Gonghechun, Fuchun Tea House is located in the alley on Guoqing Road, and Gonghechun is also on Guoqing Road. I chose Yechun Tea House (Yuatou Store), put down my luggage and took a taxi to go here. It's already past ten o'clock and we still have to queue up. Yechun means cultivating the color of spring. Fortunately, this is one of the eight famous gardens in Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty. When Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan, he tasted tea here, and then visited Slender West Lake. The nearby environment is beautiful and it is also close to Slender West Lake. You can take photos nearby whenever you are waiting, and it doesn't feel that it takes too long.

It's almost time. There are only small tables. Let's split it into two tables. The children went to order some food and snacks. Ten people spent less than 800 yuan and looked at the menu. Wow! It's so expensive. Two steamed buns cost 43 yuan, including 28 yuan for crab roe soup dumplings and 15 yuan for five diners. Each person has one, Yangzhou boiled dried shredded pork, broccoli cauliflower, etc. Eating morning tea here means eating fame and environment.

Visit Slender West Lake

After checking the map, Yechun reached Slender West Lake Park 900 meters away, so he walked along Dahongqiao Road across the road to digest food.

It takes about 20 minutes to reach the south gate of Slender West Lake.

Buy a three-point coupon online to enter the park at a discount of 170 yuan, including Shouxihu, Geyuan, and Daming Temple. It is valid for two days. People over 70 years old can enter without charge.

Slender West Lake was originally named Baoshan Lake. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Hang, a poet from Qiantang (Hangzhou), called it Slender West Lake after coming to Yangzhou. Salt industry in Yangzhou flourished. Due to the age of Slender West Lake, the center of the lake was silted up. Salt merchants invested in dredging and built many pavilions and pavilions on the east and west banks. Slender West Lake is a belt-like landscape composed of cities and lakes from different eras such as the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has always maintained an interactive relationship with the Grand Canal with water sources. The main attractions include Changdi Chunliu, Xiaojinshan, Diaoyutai, Wuting Bridge, White Pagoda, Xichun Terrace, 24 Bridge, Lotus Pond, etc.

The scenic spot is very large, covering an area of 2000 acres, of which the water area reaches 700 acres. We entered from the south gate and came out from the north gate. It took 4 hours. We originally wanted to visit Daming Temple, but someone couldn't walk anymore, so they took the bus. I went back to the hotel and came back the next day.

When you enter the door, you will find spring willows on the long embankment. Peach blossoms are in full bloom and willows are swaying on both sides of the road. It is really a beautiful scenery in March. The flowers are red and the willows are green. There are also many pleasure boats coming and going in the lake. It feels very beautiful.

Pass through Xuyuan to Xiaojinshan, pass through Guandi Hall, and come to the withered trees in spring.

This hill is surrounded by water on all sides and was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, in order to open up the water passage from Slender West Lake to Daming Temple, the gentry dug a new river in the northwest of Slender West Lake and piled up the soil from the river into a hill. There was also a wind pavilion on the mountain, named Xiaojinshan. Hangzhou has West Lake, and Zhenjiang has Jinshan. They are named Slender West Lake and Xiaojinshan. Praise, they correspond one by one! To the west of Xiaojinshan, there is a embankment that stretches into the lake. There is a pavilion built at the end of the embankment, which is called a "blowing platform". Later, it was said that he had fished here when Qianlong went to Jiangnan, hence the name Diaoyutai.

If one of the beautiful scenery is not enough at present, take another one and then walk towards the Diaoyutai.

This is the best location to take pictures of the Wuting Bridge and the White Tower. There are so many people that it is simply whimsical to take a picture of the scenery without anyone.

The Diaoyutai is surrounded by water on three sides, each with a round gate, which is cleverly built. Viewed from the right side of the Diaoyutai Gate, the round hole in the center coincides with the scene of "Wuting Bridge", while the round hole on the left coincides with the scene of "White Tower", and the second scenes are included in the same painting, which is admirable. I waited for a while, and the team left. In the gap, I instantly took a photo of installing the White Pagoda and Wuting Bridge in, but there was still half of the people who didn't avoid it. The one below is more perfect, but there are also people inside the round door.

This one is the best shot taken. The White Pagoda and Wuting Bridge are included in the Moon Cave respectively. The beautiful scenery is beautiful. Judging from the direction, this should be the best color for taking pictures in the morning, but the light is too strong at noon.

After taking this photo, we will return, cross the Yuban Bridge, and walk along the lake towards Lianhua Bridge (Wuting Bridge).

Walking and shooting, there are many shooting locations. Any photo shoot will be a beautiful film with a wide field of view and a very atmospheric atmosphere.

Walk and rest, shoot beautiful scenery all the way, and laugh and laugh all the way.

Take a selfie without leaving any regrets.

Take another close picture of the famous Wuting Bridge

I saw the Internet celebrity Wutingqiao ice cream, which cost 18 yuan each. I paid for it in order to check in. It was actually just an ice cream. It was not very delicious, but it was okay to cool down, haha! If you look closely, it is still a reflection of Wuting Bridge.

The small island on the right of the picture is Fuzhuang. The one with the ducks in the lake was built by Chen Chenshuo, a squire in the ninth year of the Republic of China. Standing on the bridge with the cool breeze blowing in, it was very refreshing and cool. I took scenery photos on the bridge. My relatives had already gone off the bridge. They should stay longer, although there were many people on the bridge.

After crossing the bridge, I rested for a while under the shade of a tree, went to the toilet next to the white tower, and took some photos of the white tower. The effect was good.

Continue to walk along the lake towards the 24th Bridge Scenic Area. This angle is a good shot of Wuting Bridge. It is beautiful with peach red willows green and rippling water.

I forgot that I didn't take a photo, so let's go up alone. It's okay! There should be applause here, haha!

On this side is Linglong Flower Realm, and on the opposite side is Lin Xiangxie. There is no time to stroll on the opposite side.

Opposite here is the Twenty-Four Bridge Scenic Area, which is now much larger than it was more than 20 years ago.

The scenery moves along with each step, one scene at a time. Arrive at the 24th Bridge Scenic Area and take a panoramic view.

Xichun Terrace was the place where Yangzhou salt merchants celebrated the birthday of the Qing Dynasty emperors. To celebrate the emperor's birthday, tens of thousands of gold were spent to build such a splendid tower, which shows the wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants at that time. However, its magnificent momentum and exquisite structure show the infinite charm of Yangzhou gardens.

Du Mu's "On the Bright Moon Night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, Where Can the Jade Man Teach to Play Flute?" The 24th Bridge is actually a bridge. It is named because the bridge is 2.4 meters wide, 24 meters long, 24 steps, and 24 pillars, corresponding to 24 solar terms. The 24th Bridge is crowded with people, and traffic is temporarily restricted. You have to queue up to cross the bridge and walk on the right.

It was already 3:30 in the afternoon. I originally planned to go to Daming Temple, so I accelerated my pace. After walking through the stone wall, I took a few photos and walked to the Yangpai Bonsai Museum to rest for a while.

This is Yangzhou's city flower-Qionghua. This flower is different from hydrangea. It is surrounded by 8 five-petal flowers and 64 small flowers in the middle. It is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recruited a large number of migrant workers to dig the Grand Canal for 6 years, triggering a peasant uprising. It is just a legend.

This is hydrangea

After walking through the West Gate Ruins of Tang Luo City, I stopped entering the Water System Miniature Garden and left the garden directly from the north gate.

Everyone was tired enough from walking, so they stopped going to Daming Temple and took a photo at the door. I'm not interested in taking group photos anymore. What a pity! Take a break and take the bus back to the hotel.

Please wait patiently for the next episode to watch.
