April on earth is probably the most beautiful time of the year. The cold winter is over, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Spring is also the most beautiful time in Jiangnan. This time, I will go to Wuxi to enjoy cherry blossoms and boat rafting

This is traffic

High-speed rail plus car rental and self-driving. The car was booked in advance on Yihi Car Rental aop. One car has become a means of transportation for several people. This is the first time to rent a car online. New users have preferential activities, and it is quite cost-effective per person. I had never rented a car before and thought it would be very troublesome. In fact, it was very convenient to pick up the car by self-service, and the car's performance was ok. It was cleaner and cleaner than expected.

Here is the itinerary

Day1: Guanshe Villa-Taihu Yuantouzhu Scenic Area

Day2: Huishan Forest Park-Guandong Street-Slender West Lake

Day3: Fuchun Tea House-Zhongshuge-Shuangshuguan-Pishi Street

Guanshe Shanzhuang

Guanshe Villa is a relatively small tourist attraction. You can enjoy scenery and accommodation. In summer, you can also see lotus flowers full of the pool here. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the lotus flowers this time. We just happened to stay here at night and came directly from the station. Here, check out the accommodation and stroll around, and start heading to the main destination this time-Taihu Lake

Taihu Yuantouzhu Scenic Area

Most of the tourists who come to Wuxi in spring come from Taihu Lake. When you enter the scenic spot, you can see the five big characters "The Excellent Place of Taihu Lake" written by Mr. Guo Moruo personally. Among all the scenic spots in Wuxi, Taihu Lake is the most representative one. Taihu Lake in spring is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms

When you come to Taihu Lake before and after the Qingming Festival, the cherry blossoms inside have reached their peak opening period, and the petals have almost fallen. If you want a better effect, it is recommended to come before the Qingming Festival. At that time, the cherry trees had not yet grown green leaves, and all you can see are full of cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms in Wuxi are similar to those in Wuhan. If Wuhan University cannot make an appointment, you can also choose to come to Taihu Lake. There are not many tourists here, so you can also visit the scenic spot by the way.

Wind chimes can be seen everywhere on the cherry blossom trees. The pink cherry blossoms and pink wind chimes blend together without any sense of inconsistency. They have a little Japanese feeling, which reminds me of scenes in Japanese anime

There are several late cherry blossoms in full bloom. I don't know if the blessing signs on the trees were hung up by staff in the scenic area or tourists. With such high branches, I wonder if tourists climbing the trees and hanging them.

Internet celebrity Sakura Post Office can send postcards to good friends. The cherry blossom tree in front of the door is really beautiful. I am a person who doesn't like pink very much in life, and the pink white color of cherry blossoms is really love.

If you are interested, you can also go to the Fairy Island in Taihu Lake to enjoy it. You need to buy tickets for Fairy Island separately. The entire Taihu Lake Scenic Area is big enough, so I didn't visit the island this time.

If you want to see the night view in the scenic area, I suggest you wait until the afternoon like us. The night view at night is really beautiful, and the cherry blossoms are extremely romantic under the light. This is what spring looks like in my mind.

Huishan Forest Park

I got up very early in the morning, and I couldn't see the lotus flowers in the lotus pond in front of me. In early summer, it was a different scenery

Go for a walk in Huishan Forest Park in the morning. This is also a very small place in Wuxi. There are not many people in the park, and there are also cherry blossoms in it. The park is not very big and it is very suitable for walking.

Guandong Street

After leaving the park, we drove to Yangzhou,"Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March." Many people specially chose March to come to Yangzhou because of this poem. In fact, Yangzhou has not yet begun to enter spring in March, and the scenery will be better when they come in April. It was nearly noon when they arrived at Guandong Street, so I just came here to find food

I recommend the honey lotus roots here. Those who like sweets should try them. There are many honey lotus roots selling in Jiangnan. They may be called differently, but the things are all the same, soft and glutinous.

Desserts after meals are similar to KFC's sweet cones, but the price is much cheaper than it. To put it bluntly, I still think it is expensive and delicious

slender West Lake

Today I came to visit the lake again. Yesterday I went to Taihu Lake. Today I came to Slender West Lake. Taihu Lake is the symbol of Wuxi, and Slender West Lake is the symbol of Yangzhou. Tickets can be bought online in advance, which is cheaper than buying in scenic spots

After entering from the west gate, you can see a small dock for charter boats. There are electric boats and hand-cranked boats. The number of people on the boat varies and the price varies. The three of us chose a small boat that can seat four people.

Boating is much easier than walking. Of course, if you don't want to take a boat, you won't delay walking to see the scenery. The view from the lake is very wide. It's just the holidays, and many people come to Slender West Lake for sightseeing.

In the small garden in the scenic area, these tulips look fake. It is said that the Slender West Lake was named after the poet Wang Hang during the Qianlong period. After the poet came to Yangzhou, he compared this lake with the West Lake in his hometown of Hangzhou and called it Slender West Lake. Slender West Lake is indeed much narrower than the West Lake, and the scenery has its own merits

I left the Slender West Lake Scenic Area in the afternoon and returned to Dongguan Street. As a tourist, the snacks on Dongguan Street can completely satisfy me. The snack street is the busiest time at night, and all stores are basically too busy to stop.

Fuchun Tea House

Eating morning tea is the traditional food culture of Yangzhou people. Yangzhou has the famous Sanchun, namely Fuchun, Yechun, and Gonghe Chun, which are the three most famous tea houses in Yangzhou. We came to Fuchun Tea House this time, and Fuchun Tea House is also the most famous in Sanchun. If you want to have morning tea, you must come early. Many people arrived at the tea house after seven o'clock, and it took a while to get a seat.

It is said to be a tea house, but in fact, we came here to eat Yangzhou's traditional breakfast. There are quite a variety. Anyway, we had never eaten it before and ordered a few casually. Lion head and dried shredded silk were praised. Lion head is not greasy at all. Crab yellow soup dumplings are also very good.

Take a cup of tea after a meal. I don't drink tea much on weekdays and have never studied tea. The taste is very light when drinking it.

Zhong shuge

After breakfast, head to Zhongshu Pavilion. Many cities have Zhongshu Pavilion. There is a Yechun Tea House next to Zhongshu Pavilion. You can also come here to have tea. You will reach Zhongshu Pavilion only a few steps away

As an online celebrity bookstore, the most outstanding part is not how many types of books it has, but also the overall layout and design of the bookstore. This is the first time I came to Zhong Shuge. Do I only think this is like a tunnel?

Compared with the crowds at attractions and snack streets, there are much fewer people in the bookstore, and you can sit down and read books and take photos.

The appearance of these Internet celebrity bookstores is too high. I have to come and take a look just because of this appearance. After all, there is no such bookstore in my city. Haha, it is very quiet inside, and everyone is quietly reading and taking photos.

Shuangboguan

In the afternoon, go to the Double Expo Museum, which refers to the Yangzhou Museum and the Yangzhou Chinese Engraving and Printing Museum. The two venues are combined into one

There are not many people in the museum, and you can learn a lot about historical knowledge about block printing here.

Modern woodblock printing is not easy to look at, but it is even harder to operate. The words are small, but they are beautiful when printed, a hundred times better than what I wrote directly...

Pishi Street

It was still early to leave the museum. Before leaving, I took a stroll around Peishi Street. This is a small cultural street. The street is very short and there are not many people. It is rare to be quiet. Sit down and have a cup of coffee and enjoy the last days of the holiday. The three-day holiday passed quietly.
