Then I went to Wenchang Pavilion to take night pictures. Wenchang Pavilion is a landmark building in Yangzhou. It was built in the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1585). It is an octagonal three-story brick-and-wood structure. Now it is not possible to visit it, making it more suitable for taking photos at night.

Stay at Hampton Inn Yangzhou Wenchang Road. The hotel facilities are very new and convenient. It is very close to Yangzhou Station and is located in the New town area of Yangzhou. The service is very warm and the breakfast is very rich. It is the best choice for mid-to-high-end hotels, but it is far from the main attractions in the city. It is recommended to choose Slender West Lake Store as the main tourist destination.

Shi Kefa Memorial Hall, also known as Shigong Temple, is a place to commemorate Shi Kefa, a national hero who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. After entering the door, the first thing I saw was the banquet hall. On both sides were the famous couplet written by Zhang Erjin of the Qing Dynasty,"Counting the plum blossoms and tears of the country's subjugation, and dividing the bright moon to the heart of my minister." There are cloud-shaped plum blossoms in the hall, with a horizontal plaque of "Strong Mountains and Rivers" hanging on it, and a statue of Shi Kefa sits in the center. In the Shi Kefa Memorial Hall, you can see Shi Kefa's handwriting, precious cultural relics, and learn about the deeds of Shi Kefa and other national heroes.

Geyuan was built on the former site of Shouzhi Garden in the Ming Dynasty by Huang Zhiyun, the "Lianghuai Salt Chief" during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty. The essence of the Geyuan lies in the rockery and stone stacking art based on the four seasons. Different stone materials are stacked to form the four scenery of "spring, summer, autumn and winter". The rockery in the four seasons has its own characteristics. A stone peak in the garden is erected in the sparse bamboo forest. This is the "Spring Scene", symbolizing the scene of spring returning to the earth and bamboo shoots after bamboo shoots; to the north of the Spring Scene is the "Summer Scene", with clear water flowing through the rocks, giving a lively scene; on the east side of the Spring Scene, you can see the "Autumn Scene". Around a pile of stacked rocks, there are several maple leaves, giving a chilling autumn atmosphere; On the south side of the spring scene, near the south gate, is the "winter scene". The rocks here are all snow-white, like a severe winter with heavy snow. Geyuan can be called a representative work of Yangzhou gardens. The scenery of the four seasons in the park is different, but you can feel the scenery of the four seasons at the same time. The concept is exquisite, and the combination and non-transformation are one.

He Garden has the reputation of "the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty". The buildings in the garden combine Chinese and Western, and are connected by complex corridors. The layout is full of layers. The various parts of the park are connected into one by a complex corridor (commonly known as "Chuanlou" by Yangzhou people, which is a corridor divided into upper and lower floors), which is very distinctive. The flowered window belt formed by a series of leaking windows and empty windows opened on the complex corridor is also a major feature of the park. The Yuxiu Building in the south is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles. It not only adopts traditional Chinese brick-and-wood structures, but also uses a large number of French shutters, Japanese sliding doors, French fireplaces, wrought iron beds, etc. Although the garden area is not large, the layout is compact, with twists and turns, and the scenery changes. You can appreciate the designer's ingenuity. The style and decoration in the house fully reflects the living habits of the upper class of society in the late Qing Dynasty.

Slender West Lake is a long and narrow river. You can not only walk along the river to enjoy the natural beauty, but also walk into the pavilions and pavilions to taste the poems, paintings and ink treasures of literati and literati of past dynasties. For thousands of years, countless literati and literati have lingered here, reciting poems and painting, leaving behind many calligraphy treasures and stories, and also built many scenic buildings according to local conditions. Wuting Bridge is the symbol of Slender West Lake and has a history of more than 200 years. There are five wind pavilions built on the bridge. Every full moon night, each of the fifteen bridge holes under the Wuting Bridge contains a moon. The 24th Bridge is another famous attraction in the scenic area. It comes from Du Mu's poem,"The 24th Bridge is bright and bright on the night, where does the jade man teach to blow the whistle?" The original bridge no longer exists, but now it is a rebuilt bridge. Slender West Lake itself is a large garden, and there are various ingenious and unique pavilions, pavilions, and miniature landscapes built around different landscapes. It combines the masterpieces of Jiangnan garden landscapes. It can be said that there is a garden in the garden "and" there is a scenery in the scenery." Amid the hazy and misty rain, Slender West Lake adds a bit of mystery, more like a gentle and moving girl from Jiangnan, waiting for people to carefully examine it. Although it is midsummer, the continuous rain seems to bring us back to Jiangnan in spring. Being in a poetic and stunning landscape painting, we truly experience "people are swimming in paintings."

Yangzhou, located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is the only city in China of the same age as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This is destined to be closely connected to the development and rise and fall of this city. Yangzhou in the Sui and Tang Dynasties became the intersection of the "Silk Road on Land" and the "Silk Road on Sea", and it could be said to be the first and second; in the Song Dynasty, Yangzhou became the transfer center of water transportation and was known as "the famous capital of Huaizuo and the best place in the West of Bamboo"; Salt transportation in the Qing Dynasty brought Yangzhou's prosperity to its peak, and Yangzhou gardens and Huaiyang cuisine, which combined the characteristics of the north and south, also flourished. Yangzhou is built on water, thrives on water, and beautiful because of water. The life of Yangzhou people is also inseparable from water-"Wrap water in the morning and wrap water in the evening". You can feel the comfort of Yangzhou people's life in one sentence. The beautiful scenery and prosperity of Yangzhou have also attracted countless migrating poets to sing the moon and sing the ink, leaving behind ancient quatrains-"The world is three-point bright moon night, and two-point scoundrels are Yangzhou" and "The spring breeze is ten miles across Yangzhou Road, and it's not as good as rolling a bead curtain." Although the prosperity of the past has become an old dream, what is left to this city is more than 2,000 years of historical heritage and endless canal culture. Today, Yangzhou has become the water intake for the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Across thousands of years, the canal has a new historical mission. Relying on its unique historical advantages, Yangzhou will also burst into new vitality.
