"The old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks fell in Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail shadows the blue sky in the distance, and only the Yangtze River flows across the sky." My earliest impression of Yangzhou came from this poem. Yangzhou at that time should have been extremely prosperous, with a choke point from south to north, and a must-pass for merchants, merchants and poets.

When I was a soldier, the company organized a weekend tour to Yangzhou. At that time, there was only a single holiday, and I was very happy. Decades have passed. Has she changed much when she visits Yangzhou again? Can I still find the memories of that year? Back then, we went there as a liberation CA10B truck, but now we drive our own cars. Our generation has benefited a lot from the benefits of reform and opening up.

Yangzhou, known as Guangling, Jiangdu and Weiyang in ancient times, dates back to 486 BC. Yangzhou is the birthplace of the Grand Canal, and the Yangzhou section of the ancient canal is the oldest section of the entire canal.

I had to see the bridge when I went to Yangzhou. The poem "Twenty-Four Bridge Bright Moon Night" is very famous.

The hotel where you stayed at night. Watching the sunset and the smoke lingering in the west, I am intoxicated by the wine from Jiangnan.

The Yangtze River is vast and the sky is wide

When I come to Yangzhou, I have to talk about delicious food, including Yangzhou fried rice, Yangzhou three-end banquet (steamed crab powder and lion head, grilled whole pig head, shredded silver carp head), Shaoguan old goose, sima's la tofu (Jiangdu), Qionghua Lu wine, Shaobo water chestnut, Sanding Bao, Yangzhou boiled dried shredded, Yangzhou pickles, etc., I think it's still delicious with fried dough sticks and cakes. The location is in the vegetable market in front of Yangzhou University.

Yangzhou has five famous cold dishes, ten famous dishes, ten famous dishes, and five famous vegetables.

Top ten snacks: fried fire with scallion oil, Huangqiao sesame cake, Yangzhou cake, knife fish soup and gravy noodles, Yangzhou fried rice, bamboo shoot meat pot stickers, three-color oil dumplings, shrimp dumpling noodles, ginger pad shortcake, Yangzhou spring rolls. Fuchun Tea House is a must

The pear blossoms everywhere are pure and white

I think Yangzhou is the most suitable for slow travel

pavilions, pavilions, misty rain, small homes in Jiangnan

The focus of Yangzhou should be on Slender West Lake. In fact, it is a wide river outside Yangzhou. It was originally named Baoyang Lake. The name of "Slender West Lake" was not widely circulated until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the two emperors Kangxi and Qianlong visited the south six times and appreciated the scenery here. At this time, the "Slender West Lake" changed from a river course to a famous lake connecting various garden landscapes. In addition, during the Qianlong period, Wang Hang, a poet from Qiantang (present-day Hangzhou), wrote a poem "Ode to the Baoshan River":"The willow trees continue to pick up the remnants, and the geese 'teeth and the red bridges draw pictures. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake." As a result, the "Slender West Lake" became famous all over the world.

The large-scale construction of the Slender West Lake Garden was during the Qianlong period. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Slender West Lake Garden reached its peak in its entire ancient transformation process. Many of the landscapes of the Slender West Lake Garden were the products of this stage, and the Slender West Lake itself also It has become the most representative area of Yangzhou gardens.

The Wuting Bridge in Slender West Lake is an important scenic spot. It was built in the 22nd year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. There are five wind pavilions with southern characteristics built on the bridge. There are treasure roofs on the pavilions, ceilings painted inside the pavilions, wind chimes are hung outside the pavilions, and the piers are made of 12 large bluestone blocks, forming a thick and powerful "I"-shaped bridge foundation. The bridge body of Wuting Bridge consists of rolling holes of different sizes and shapes. Crossing under the bridge by boat, you can count that there are 15 bridge holes in Wuting Bridge, which are connected and connected.

When you come to Yangzhou, you will feel the beautiful scenery when you move forward, the halls and pavilions are all in your eyes, and the ubiquitous Jiangnan gardens release a charming and gentle atmosphere, making you intoxicated and lingering.

Although the exquisite bonsai, white walls and black tiles in the streets and alleys are in the north of the Yangtze River, they all exude the charm of Jiangnan.

The small garden rocks, flowers and birds have a unique cave, inadvertently surprising you and making you sigh at the powerful wisdom of our ancestors.

Yangzhou has many and concentrated scenic spots, mostly in the urban area, making it very convenient for tourists to enjoy them in detail.

I don't know if the beautiful women photographed by sweeping the streets are authentic Yangzhou beauties. Have you heard of the folk song "Big Sister Yangzhou has flowers, Jiangnan earns money"?

In the golden autumn season, Yangzhou is a sea of flowers and a world of people.

Because the Grand Canal runs through Yangzhou City, Yangzhou has a lot of water, and various river fork waterways abound. When you come to Yangzhou, you must take a pleasure boat to experience the ancient people's feelings of visiting the countryside. It would be great if you can keep the wine in the wind. As night falls, the breeze blows on your face, wine tasting and music, what more can you ask for?

Yangzhou in March is beautiful, and the thousands of hanging green silk ribbons are real.

Some small gardens are not big but have the same taste

This is called "Shadow Garden", which seems to be the mansion of a Jinshi.

Plum blossoms and peach blossoms grow unscrupulously under the care of weeping willows

Quiet and leisurely under the small bridge, flowing water, and green trees

Do the ancient stone slabs remember the guests coming from north to south?

The only constant aunt in every city is morning exercise

The water reflects pear flowers with rain, and the white is red and distinctive.

The golden winter jasmine means that spring has already arrived

The peach blossoms after the rain are so lovable, as if they tell the hearts of thousands of years.

Will such peach blossoms bear fruit?

Red, yellow, blue and green, colorful, reflections like a dream, and all four are empty.

Early morning fishermen are probably not interested in fishing

The owners are everywhere with Qionghua, also known as the Eight Immortals, iris flowers, and cow ears holding beads. Blooming occurs in April and May, and the flowers are as big as plates and white as jade. It is the city flower of Yangzhou.

The streets in Yangzhou are clean and tidy.

Arriving here, the Yangzhou tour is about to come to an end, but there are still many scenic spots that I haven't visited. My habit is "a regrettable trip, a beautiful process." The most important thing is the charm of the ancient alleys and the Zen meaning of the small bridges and flowing water. It is like cups of mellow wine. The taste lingers in my heart for a long time... Force me to come again!

Goodbye Yangzhou! Goodbye Jiangsu!
