Continuing the previous chapter, I didn't make it to Daming Temple. I took the No. 25 bus to Bianyanmen Station, walked back to the hotel, booked dinner at the Garden Tea House next to the hotel, went back to the hotel to take a bath and rest for a while, and went downstairs to have dinner at 6 o'clock. More than 400 yuan, there are salted goose, crystal pickled beef, fried shrimp, Kung Pao chicken diced, boiled dried shredded, etc., which are cheap and cheap.

Night tour of Yangzhou Ancient Canal

After dinner, some of our relatives wanted to rest, so the four of us decided to go to the Dongguan Ancient Canal Pier for a night boat trip to the Ancient Canal to experience it.

Take night pictures all the way along the river, walk all the way, and walk all the way to the Dongguan Ancient Canal Pier for about 20 minutes. There is a boat leaving at 7:45.

Dancing in the square and chatting in such a place, the people of Yangzhou are so happy

Canal City Boat No. 5, buy tickets and board the ship. Half price is 50 yuan for those over 70 years old. The voyage is from the East Gate to the South Gate Pier and then turn back. It lasts 45 minutes to watch the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The lights are bright and beautiful at night. Follow my pictures to enjoy it. If you have time during the day, you can walk along the river. It is very comfortable and has some attractions.

We set sail on time. After entering the cabin, the ship's radio began to introduce the highlights of the ancient canal. We immediately ran onto the deck to watch Yangzhou City in the night. Driving out of Dongguan Ancient Ferry, you will arrive at Jiefang Bridge in a short while. The bridge is brightly lit, outlining the outline of Jiefang Bridge. There are several double-eaves pavilions on the bridge. It seems that this building is quite beautiful.

Xu Ningmen Bridge: The bridge is named after the poet. The bridge is located in the urban area of Yangzhou. The Xu Ningmen Bridge was built in 1977. It is the fifth bridge built on the ancient canal after liberation. It has a history of more than 40 years and is a one-hole reinforced concrete high-low ribbed hyperbolic arch bridge. The current Xuningmen Bridge is a rebuilt new bridge. It is in a simple style. The exterior facade is decorated with variable-section arc-shaped beams, stone finishes, and solid piers. It crosses the river in three spans, each span of 25 meters, and has a total length of 88 meters. The bridge deck is 30.6 meters wide and connects with Xuningmen Road in the south. "The world is three-part bright moon and night, and two-part rogue is Yangzhou." The famous poem was written by Xu Ning.

After arriving at the Nanmen Ruins Pier, we turned back and headed back to watch the scenery on the other side.

Thank you to my niece for taking photos for me.

There are murals on both sides of the bridge showing the history and culture of the ancient canal, which are too far away to see clearly.

After returning to Dongguan Gudu and getting off the boat, I took several photos of the Dongguan Gudu archway. Below the archway is a group of 100-meter embossed, describing the magnificent scene of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty descending to the south of the Yangtze River.

Dongguan Street

After getting up the next morning, he walked to the gate of Dongguan Street, passed through the Dongguan Historical and Cultural District, and went to the Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling and Noodle Shop for morning tea.

This is the real ancient gate of Dongguan

There were not many people on Dongguan Street in the morning, and the ancient town was seriously commercialized. Many shops had not yet opened, but only a few restaurants had opened. They quickly passed through and headed straight to the Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling Noodle Shop.

I kept taking pictures all the way, scratching and recording the beautiful moments as memories.

Hong Qigong called chicken

Several small attractions on Dongguan Street do not open until nine o'clock for check-in.

Walking out of Dongguan Street, you will find Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling and Noodle Restaurant diagonally opposite. Order a few pasta dishes, which taste very good. Most of them have to pick them up by themselves. The staff in the store are overwhelmed and overwhelmed, but the price is absolutely close to the people. After eating, we can go around Caiyi Street and buy food, and some can be purchased online.

At first glance, this dummy is a bit scary!

After breakfast, everyone entered Dongguan Street again and set out for Geyuan, a famous garden in Yangzhou

geyuan

Geyuan is located at No. 10 Yanfu East Road, northeastern corner of the ancient city of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is a private garden of Yangzhou salt merchants 'residence in the Qing Dynasty. It is famous for its planting of green bamboos and its rockery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It was built into a residential garden by Huang Zhiyun, the chief salt merchant of Lianghuai River, in the 23rd year of Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1818) on the basis of the original Ming Dynasty "Shouzhi Garden".

Geyuan is famous for its stacked stone art. The rockery of bamboo shoots, lake stones, yellowstone and Xuan stones in the spring, summer, autumn and winter combines the rules of gardening with the principles of landscape painting. Together with Beijing's Summer Palace, Chengde's Summer Resort, and Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden, they are called China's four famous gardens.

We entered from the south gate of Dongguan Street, passed through the southern residential area like Jiugong Grid, and entered the Four Seasons Rockery, and finally came out from the Bamboo Garden at the North Gate.

To the east are winter rockery, on both sides of Baoshan Building are summer and autumn rockery, and at the door of the residential area is spring rockery. Tourists in the park crowded with each other and lined up to go upstairs.

Give me a small panoramic view

Then go downstairs to the Variety Bamboo viewing area. The owner planted thousands of bamboos in the garden and took half of the "bamboo". He also took Su Dongpo's meaning that "you can eat without meat, you can not live without bamboo, you can be thin without meat, and you can be vulgar without bamboo." Therefore, it is called "Geyuan".

Daming temple

It was still early, so I suggested to visit Daming Temple, which I didn't visit yesterday. I have bought a joint ticket and can't waste it. Some people don't want to go and want to experience three knives and pinch their feet, so they divided them into two routes. Seven people took two taxis to Daming Temple. As there was not much time, I had to go back to the hotel to check out at 12 o'clock. After seeing Monk Jianzhen Dongdu Hall, I went back.

It was already 11:30 when I came out of Daming Temple. I took a taxi back to the hotel. After checking out, I took my luggage and went to Yangzhou Hotel. It was just across the bridge, which was very close. A la carte lunch costs 612 yuan, and the price is okay. Enjoy it slowly, the train leaves at 3 o'clock. It started to rain after the meal, so I took a taxi to Yangzhou East Station. It was a bit of a traffic jam when it rained. I got to the East Station for 30 yuan. The trip to Yangzhou ended happily.
