The words written in front

"Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March". This ancient poem comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai,"The Yellow Crane Tower Delivers Meng Haoran to Guangling". As we all know, this is a farewell poem that expresses feelings of separation in the scenery, expressing Li Bai's longing for the ancients at that time. Although it is a farewell, it has been widely circulated. To this day, when everyone mentions where to go for fireworks in March, they will open their mouths and recite this ancient poem. Of course, modern people can visit Yangzhou anytime. After all, Yangzhou is a world heritage city, the world food capital, the world canal capital, the east Asian cultural capital, the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, and a scenic tourist city with traditional characteristics. Whether it is natural scenery or historical humanities, or a variety of newly developed Internet celebrity check-in spots developed by modern people, Yangzhou is really an addictive place.

I have been to Yangzhou many times. I have visited almost all of Yangzhou's most representative famous tourist attractions, such as Slender West Lake, Daming Temple, Geyuan, Heyuan, Dongguan Street, etc., whether it is culture, history, scenery, or Yangzhou's specialty cuisine, there is no missing. After going there many times, we always had to find something fresh for ourselves, so when we came to Yangzhou this time, we came to Yangzhou for the new Internet celebrity landmark "Dream City". However, Yangzhou's delicious food cannot be ignored.

about the itinerary

On D1, Shanghai drove to Yangzhou, directly to Dongguan Street, Historical Culture Street, and couldn't eat. In the afternoon, we visited Dongguan Street and Geyuan.

D2 gets up for morning tea in the morning, then checks in Yangzhou New Internet Celebrity Check-in Park, Yangzhou Dream City, and then returns to Shanghai.

Dongguan Street History Culture Street

Every time I come to Yangzhou, I will definitely come back to Dongguan Street. It is like an "old place" for dating. The memories hidden here will last for a century. Dongguan Street is one of the most representative historical streets in Yangzhou. It stretches to the ancient canal in the east and Guoqing Road in the west. It has a total length of 1122 meters. Dongguan Street used to be not only an important land and water transportation route in Yangzhou, but also a commercial, handicraft and religious cultural center.

The street is bustling and full of businesses. It is full of businesses and prosperous business. More than 100 years ago, Dongguan Street was an economically developed area in Yangzhou. Time-honored brands from a hundred years ago still exist in Dongguan Street, and this is also a concentrated place for handicrafts. There are connected shops in front and back shops all over the street.

Many historical and ancient buildings are concentrated on both sides of this street. In addition to time-honored shops, there are also many historical relics here, including Yipu, Wang's Xiaoyuan, a national key cultural relic protection unit Geyuan, as well as Guangling Academy, Anding Academy, Yidong School, Wudang Palace in the Ming Dynasty, Zhunti Temple in the Ming Dynasty, etc. Geyuan is arguably the most popular, and it is also a private garden that tourists must check in when they come here. Geyuan is located at No. 10 Yanfu East Road in the northeastern corner of the ancient city of Yangzhou. It has won the titles of the third batch of "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units" and the "First Batch of National Key Parks". It enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad and is also one of the four famous parks in China.

This private garden of Yangzhou salt merchants 'residence in the Qing Dynasty is famous for its planting of green bamboos and its rockery in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Its owner is Huang Zhiyun, the chief salt merchant of Lianghuai River, who built it into a residential garden in the 23rd year of Jiaqing Dynasty. Geyuan is famous for its stacked stone art. The rockery in spring, summer, autumn and winter is formed by stacking bamboo stones, lake stones, yellowstone and Xuan stones. It integrates the rules of gardening with the principles of landscape painting. It has been praised as an "isolated case in China" by Mr. Chen Congzhou, the master of the garden. This shows Geyuan's architectural achievements. Geyuan is a typical private residential garden. The whole garden is divided into a central garden, a southern residential area, and a northern variety of bamboo viewing area. Walking into Geyuan, you will find ancient buildings hidden among tall green trees. Through the rooms and halls that come in and out, the most fascinating thing is the back garden of their home.

Entering the garden from the residence, the first thing you see is the moon-hole-shaped garden gate with the word "Geyuan" written on the stone forehead on the door. Behind the gate of the garden is the spring scenery, the summer scenery is located in the northwest of the garden, the autumn scenery is in the northeast of the garden, and the winter scenery is in the east of the spring scenery, adding a lot of interest to the entire garden. But in fact, I didn't distinguish spring, summer, autumn and winter so clearly. In my eyes, the garden was full of green, the trees were green, the ponds were green, the rockery was rocky, and every ancient building had a story.

The garden is particularly big, and I get lost while walking. Not only do I lament the wisdom and labor creation of the ancients, but under the harsh environment of those years, the production conditions were very difficult, but when I built a garden like this, money means willfulness. Have you seen it?

Cocha Danfan and Fuchun Tea House

These two restaurants can be said to be Yangzhou's most popular restaurants. Rough tea and rice eat Yangzhou's specialty snacks and delicacies, and Fuchun Tea House is the more famous restaurant for Yangzhou's morning tea.

Cocha Danfan is located on Dongguan Street. It is a very popular snack shop with a high reputation and a low price. The signature dish in the store is lotus root flour glutinous rice balls, which tastes very Q. The filling inside is peanut and black sesame seeds. The making process of lotus root flour glutinous rice balls is also quite cumbersome. The staff in the window have been rolling lotus root flour glutinous rice balls in lotus root flour, and then dipping them into lotus root flour soup. Layer by layer, the glutinous rice balls become more and more Q, which is amazing.

Other recommended dishes include fried hash browns, osmanthus lotus root flour round, hammered lotus root with honey juice, fried lotus root cake, and of course, Yangzhou fried rice is indispensable. The snacks that reveal Yangzhou's spirituality make people salivate just by looking at them.

In fact, each food is not large in size and the price is very cheap, but the store is not large. If we go at noon, we must have to queue up in a queue. We went before 10 o'clock, so we didn't have to queue up at this time, but after 10 o'clock, we had not finished eating the delicious food yet. The customers in the store were already full, so if we want to eat coarse tea and rice, we must rush early.

Fuchun Tea House is a typical example of Yangzhou morning tea. When it comes to morning tea, many people have always thought that it is a habit of Cantonese people. In fact, in the Huaiyang area north of Guangzhou, there is also a culture of morning tea, and the varieties of morning tea eaten by Huaiyang people are not inferior to those of Guangdong. Fuchun tea is a time-honored place for morning tea in Yangzhou. Whether tourists or locals, they will choose to go to Fuchun for morning tea. Fuchun Tea House was founded in 1885. It is located at Desheng Bridge, which belongs to the Laocheng District of Yangzhou. The streets here are narrow and there are many people, giving a strong flavor of Yangzhou's market.

After several generations of unremitting efforts and management, it has gradually formed the combination of flowers, tea, snacks and vegetables, excellent color, aroma, taste and shape, leisure, tranquility, elegance and suitability. It has been recognized as the authentic representative of Huaiyang cuisine. Ba Jin, Zhu Ziqing, Bing Xin, Lin Sanzhi, Wu Zuoren, Mei Lanfang, Zhao Dan and other great masters of literature and art all left behind their calligraphy treasures and praises.

However, we had some breakfast to fill our stomachs before we came here, so our eyes were big and our stomach was small, and we wanted to order everything we saw. Sanding Bao is a specialty here. The restaurant has set meals and ordered two sets. There are a variety of crispy cakes, steamed dumplings, timely snacks and powder cakes. They are all in a variety of styles and different tastes. Eating a mouthful of steamed buns, drinking hot tea, and communicating with each other in a noisy restaurant is so enjoyable.

Yangzhou Dream City

Dream City is a cultural tourism brand created by OCT. It is a large-scale amusement park covering an area of 150,000 square meters, with 36 sets of amusement facilities, dozens of performing performances, and cultural creativity, cultural, catering and leisure areas. It is mainly divided into three theme areas: "Dream Time","Canal World" and "Children's Fun Park".

Dream Time can be said to be the most exciting area in the audience. It brings together many large-scale exciting rides.

Canal World is a relatively large area and all-encompassing area. It is mainly based on Yangzhou's canal culture and has indoor and outdoor recreational activities suitable for adults and children such as cultural and creative elegant gardens, academies, canal-themed rides, bar streets, and large roller coasters.

Children's Fun Park, as the name suggests, is a place where children like to play. Whether it is powered rides or non-powered rides, there are both here. Whether in terms of functional facilities, entertainment and leisure, scale or popularity, Dream City can be the No. 1 in Yangzhou's amusement circle.

tour route

The underground parking lot leads to the Canal Tiandi area. People usually follow this route to play:

Dream Time-Canal World-Children's Fun Paradise-Night Tour

In fact, many parents will also take their children to play in Children's Fun Park first. Because the queue time for many amusement facilities in Dream Time and Canal World is relatively long, some people will choose to experience Dream Time and Canal World at meal time and at night., off-peak fun is also a witty choice.

Practical strategy for daily tour + night tour

What I will tell you below are the most fun projects in each theme area, as well as practical strategies for these projects ~

Dream Time:

This area mainly features exciting rides, such as giant pendulum, knight roller coaster, peak ejection, time and space spacecraft, airboat surfing, and rotating flying chairs.

Walking into the dream time during the day, the screams one after another make people excited. This is indeed a place where people's spirit can be improved to several levels. The ones with the most screams are the pendulum, knight roller coasters, peak catapults and rotating flying chairs. If it doesn't rain at night, you can experience these rides. I think it will be more exciting.

The big pendulum is no stranger to everyone. The sense of weightlessness brought by its swinging and rotating makes people cry heart-wrenching every time, but it walks into its arms again and again, unable to stop.

The Knight's Roller Coaster is a very popular roller coaster in the City of Dreams. The roller coaster is of a motorcycle type, with groups of ten people shuttling up and down the track. Needless to say, the screams are loud, but looking at the expressions of the people experiencing it, it seems that everyone is enjoying it.

Peak ejection is a jumping machine. This height is not high, but there are many bounces back and forth. It is very exciting and sour. Are you ready?

Canal World:

This is an area that has forged the cultural fortress of the Yangzhou Canal and embodies the customs of Yangzhou for thousands of years. It gathers ideas such as amusement, clubs, tavern, snowy land, and Tianhe River, creating an immersive interactive experience area for us to reproduce the life picture of the ancient Yangzhou Canal where Vientiane flourished.

The entertainment and amusement here are very rich, including dynamic cinemas, canal cable cars, canal rafting, Millennium Yangzhou, Guangling Ghost City, Wenchuang Elegance Garden, Guangling Academy, Guangyin Painting Scene, Bar Street, Night Light Show, etc.

Dynamic Theater is a 4D experience area, which is especially suitable for children to play with. After putting on 3D glasses and entering the museum, you can hold an "electronic gun" and shoot at the large screen. As the seat swings back and forth, it creates a kind of immersive feeling. The children are all having a good time. Finally, the big screen displays everyone's results. The children have to compete before they are willing to go out. It is also quite exciting.

Next to the dynamic theater are the canal cable car and canal rafting. We can take a cable car or a boat and circle the canal world from the air and water. The speed is not fast. It can be said to be the best choice to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Millennium Yangzhou and Guangling Ghost City are together. Millennium Yangzhou sits in a small car similar to a mine car, moving forward in a specific good space, while learning about the history and humanities of Millennium Yangzhou through the audio and video around it. I like it very much, and the car also runs in fancy ways on the track, which is quite entertaining.

Those who are brave can go to Guangling Ghost City to play around during a night tour. I was timid and looked around. If you want to experience it, you must go at night.

Cultural and Creative Elegance Garden, Guangling Academy, and Guangyin and Huayuan are on one side. We only checked in Guangyin and Huayuan. There are performances here. They also use high-tech means to show us Yangzhou's history and culture. The performance is about 20 minutes.

At the peak of the canal, the only super-large and exciting imported roller coaster in the park is next to Guangling Academy. However, it is not fully open yet. After it opens, it will definitely be a place where screams are kept.

After you come out, you can also walk in and experience the Guangling Qinyuan next to it. This is a tribute to Yangzhou garden culture. The elegant, beautiful, and strong Yangzhou garden scenery is quite suitable for taking beautiful photos.

At night, the thing not to miss is the light show. The light show is staged around 8:15 p.m., and is located in the sightseeing tower and the dynamic theater area. After the day's play, you can eat, drink and rest near the bar street and wait for the big light show at night. It rained on the night I went, and I thought the light show would be ruined. Unexpectedly, it started at 8:15 on time. Everyone came to the sightseeing tower. With the ups and downs of the music, the lights projected on the sightseeing tower were constantly changing. After a while, the lighting of the sightseeing tower ended, and the light and shadow of the fountain and the dynamic cinema opposite began. Through the water curtain movie, we told an ancient charm of Yangzhou.

Children's Fun Park:

The parent-child and family interactive experience area features a series of adventure amusement activities to enjoy indoor competitive amusement, allowing children to experience puppet culture in games and experience new trends in parent-child life.

Our favorite part of this part is the encounter horse. This is a double-decker carousel that children like very much. Unfortunately, it rained heavily when we went to the carousel and didn't finish it. Even the daily puppet adventure performance was cancelled. If you can watch it when you go, you can't miss it. This is a puppet intangible cultural heritage performance. It's worth seeing for adults and children.

In Children's Fun Park, the ones where children can play crazily are unpowered parks. The facilities are very safe. Parents watch on, and the children are shuttling through these unpowered rides. It's so exciting and exciting.

There is no one playing in the Children's Fun Park at night, but the lights in front of the door are dotted, like fireflies dancing in the air. It is beautiful. Suddenly I fell in love with the night here. It was a little romantic and a little gentle, but in some places it was a little exciting and a little risky. The sensory stimulation was everywhere.

concluding remarks

Yangzhou is really a place with aura. It has attracted literati and literati from ancient times to the present because of its aura. You see, the aura of Yangzhou is not only limited to these delicacies, nor is it just integrated into the historical relics here. In contemporary society, the aura of Yangzhou has been integrated into fresh blood. The amusement park not only allows us to have fun, but also experience the aura of a classical Yangzhou while playing, with endless aftertaste.
