When it comes to Yangzhou, everyone will have a feeling, which is different but equally touching.

Here, it is suitable for breeze, moonlight, light rain, and gluttony.

Wanderers from home, peaceful citizens, and merchants are filled with Yangzhou's years, leaving behind sighs and nostalgia.

As Mr. Zhu Ziqing said in "I am from Yangzhou", Yangzhou is a city that matches the ancient people said,"I was born in here, died in here, and sang and cried in here."

People always place Yangzhou's grace and restraint on the flying catkins and the misty rain.

However, in this season that is most easily ignored, the fragrance of golden osmanthus and the bright autumn days also give Yangzhou a sense of pride.

Looking at the style of Slender West Lake, which has a hundred thousand yuan around its waist and rides down Yangzhou on a crane, and the luxury of Geyuan and He Yuan, which "covers the salt merchants 'mansions of the noble families" and "the gate houses the horses gather celebrities", I chose a different route.

Nashan Geopark, Slender West Lake Hot Spring, Dongguan Street, Yangzhou Museum, Yangzhou Banquet, Xishi Building, Zhaiyue B & B... When I count the names in this line, Yangzhou seems to appear on the paper as an image.

In time, in the years, compared with Yangzhou in ancient times, Yangzhou has long lost its flashy reputation as "dreaming of Yangzhou every ten years and winning the reputation of a brothel."

Nowadays, only Jing is good in Yangzhou.

Explore the world's top ten volcanic stone pillars hidden in Jiangnan

There is a legend circulating at the mouth of the ancient Yangtze River: In ancient times, there was a foolish old man in Beishan who moved the gods with his ambition to move the mountains, so he sent Hercules Kua E and his son to help the foolish old man move the mountains. Kua E's son had a hard time shouldering the Xiongshan mountain, but he was very happy because of his willingness to help others and pressed the mountain in front of him with his palm. This pressure actually caused the two mountains on our shoulders to fall from the sky. After a wave of earth shaking and mountain shaking, people found that one of the mountains was low in the middle and high at both ends, and Hercules 'finger prints could still be vaguely seen on the stone, so they called this mountain "Nashan".

Nashan Mountain is 146 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak in Central China. Tongshan Mountain in the south is the highest peak in Central China. Roughly north of Nashan Mountain is the Huaihe River Basin and south of Nashan is the Yangtze River Basin. "Daoguang·Rebuilding Yizheng County Annals" states that this mountain is "thirty miles north of the county, with a patio pool on it, and its water is inexhaustible in winter and summer."

The once vicissitudes of life were buried with time. Until the end of the last century, people dug out strip stones during the process of digging sand and gravel. Locals called Nashan "Shizhu Mountain". According to research by domestic geological experts and scholars, these stone pillars are basalt stone pillars formed after the basalt magma erupted and cooled during the Cenozoic Tertiary volcanic eruption about 5 - 10 million years ago. These strip stones were once volcanic rocks submerged at the bottom of the river. They witnessed a rare miracle of "the fusion of water and fire" in nature. They have not only become the only volcanic geological wonder in Jiangsu, but are also very rare in China.

Transportation: 13 kilometers north of Yizheng City, Jiangsu Province, in the central area of Ningzhenyang, surrounded by Provincial Roads S333, S353, and S125. Ningtong Expressway and Suyang Expressway have exits nearby.

Tickets: Admission is 70 yuan, annual card is 100 yuan.

A geological museum to see a brief history of time

At the Nashan Geological Museum, the Basalt Volcanic Geology Science and Education Museum is covered with soil and a lawn is planted on the soil, giving people the feeling that the building grew out of the soil. The four big characters in front of the door "A Brief History of Time" set the tone of the entire Geological Museum.

The indoor exhibition hall uses modern means such as sound, light, and electricity to reproduce the volcanic wonders according to the characteristics of different ages, different geological structures, different shapes, and different vegetation types, so that people can be immersed in the scene, feel the scene of volcanic eruption and geothermal formation, and reveal The natural phenomenon of volcanic eruption, popularize geological knowledge, and enable people to understand the impact of volcanic eruption on humans and the natural environment.

The mountains, seas, rivers and lakes on the earth depend on the creation of heaven and earth. The remains of the hexagonal prism are testimony to the vicissitudes of the world. It took nature five million years to create this almost perfect "pomegranate". Today, every six-sided stone pillar and every crack in it still misses the sea and the Yangtze River deeply. In a way unimaginable to humans, mountains, seas, mountains and rivers face each other from afar...

Drinking tea and tasting coffee, this geological park is a bit fashionable

Yangzhou people like to drink tea, and they like to drink green tea with local characteristics-"Lvyangchun".

Green Yangchun has a unique color of "green soup color, fragrant and rich taste". One of the highlights of the ordinary life of Yangzhou people is that "wrap around water in the morning and wrap around water at night." This "bag of water" means eating morning tea. In his masterpiece "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record" in the Qing Dynasty, Li Dou said that "my hometown tea shops are the best in the world", which shows how grand tea matters are in Yangzhou.

Nashan is a tea-rich place in Yangzhou. Since the Tang Dynasty, when tea ceremonies were popular, farmers here lived on tea for a living and continue to this day.

Follow tea farmers in Nashan, pick green poplar spring tea in spring and brew Nashan black tea in autumn. You can also learn about the sophisticated tea-making process; while watching the tea art performance, you can smell the tea aroma, taste the tea flavor, and feel the tea charm.

When a cup of tea enters your mouth, you first suffer and then sweet, just like life. Occasionally, it is also a pleasure to slow down the pace of work and follow the example of ancient scholars and return to life.

In addition to tea, this geopark also has an INS style coffee shop. It is a minimalist style from the inside out. It is very eye-catching in the blue brick walls of the city, and it feels that literature and art are out of control.

The surrounding glass floor-to-ceiling windows and roofs are decorated with quaint or Nordic styles, and are properly matched to give people a unique vision and enjoyment.

When everyone comes here, they can find a comfortable place, lie down peacefully, chat, drink coffee, eat desserts, and have some endless dreams.

If you play Slender West Lake in autumn and winter, you can soak in a beautiful hot spring

In Mr. Zhu Ziqing's famous article "Summer in Yangzhou", the Slender West Lake mentioned that you must visit it. This season, there is ethereal mist on the surface of Slender West Lake from time to time. The trees gradually change into colorful coats, hazy with poetic dreams and picturesque tenderness.

People always feel that only by cruising on Slender West Lake like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Qianlong did can they see a complete Slender West Lake. I said that only by soaking in the Slender West Lake hot spring in the increasingly cold autumn and winter can you appreciate Slender West Lake.

On the bank of Slender West Lake, which is known as "the victory of gardens, the best in the world", I stayed at Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort. The hot springs here belong to the domestic natural metasilicate and lithium hot springs, and can be soaked in both hot spring areas and guest rooms. Among them, the hot spring villas have unique characteristics. Each has a separate courtyard and hot spring pool, and all supporting facilities are available.

I also soak in the hot springs in ordinary times, but the hot spring water here is extremely "slippery". After only ten minutes of soaking, I am sweating profusely and my pores are stretched.

The simple and elegant building is quietly dotted in the embrace of mountains and rivers. The lingering clouds and mist and the permeating light smoke are filled with the atmosphere of real mountains and rivers, slowly penetrating into the heart of seeking truth. When all flashy returns to dullness, nature returns to the willfulness and freedom; it is its attraction that attracts the searching soul to slowly approach and approach its open arms...

Huaiyang cuisine is unique: one product of "China on the Bite of China", and the second taste of the Yangzhou Banquet next to Slender West Lake

Drinking a pot of fine wine and eating a few plates of delicious snacks, orchestral silk and bamboo lingering in my ears, and under the bright moon and night, you are the Yangzhou city that ancient literati longed for. Yangzhou is a city where small things can be seen as big things. A city where you can appreciate Yangzhou's style with delicious food.

When it comes to Yangzhou's food, it was actually cultivated by salt merchants. In the past, life in Yangzhou was luxurious. Rich salt merchants loved to delve into garden art and food culture, and each cook had their own unique skills. Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" mentioned this phenomenon.

It features classic Huaiyang cuisine and has continued to occupy the forefront of Yangzhou's must-eat restaurants for many years. Famous Huaiyang dishes such as braised best lion's head, steamed dried shredded silk, Wensi tofu, and Yangzhou fried rice are the most well received.

In addition to traditional famous dishes, the chefs look for Huaiyang specialties that can be presented from "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record","Suiyuan Food List" and "Tong's Food Rules", and look for inspiration for dish development in famous historical banquets. Huaiyang cuisine is very particular about cutting skills and heat, and is often used as a state banquet dish. It is a cuisine that is very suitable for experiencing it in a textured environment. Because of its outstanding performance in intensive cultivation of Huaiyang cuisine, Yangzhou Lion Tower has also attracted the attention of TV documentaries such as "A Bite of China","One City", and "Chinese Taste".

During the meal, the most surprising thing was that well-known Huaiyang cuisine chefs performed Wensi tofu and Yangzhou fried rice on the spot. Let people feast their eyes while feasting their mouths. This time, I ate Huaiyang cuisine in my stomach, in my eyes, and in my heart.

At the Slender West Lake, pursuing the ancient Yangzhou in the book, this place is called the Yangzhou Banquet. The Yangzhou Banquet not only includes traditional Huaiyang snacks but also exquisite Huaiyang dishes, integrating freshness, neutrality, fashion and health preservation.

When you step into the restaurant, you will have thoughts everywhere. There are no gorgeous and pompous decorations, but every place exudes a different delicacy. Served with traditional Huaiyang snacks, supplemented by the Guanyuan stage, Pingze Luqu, small wine, small dishes, Xiaoqu... Dining in this comfortable environment will surely satisfy your different eyes and picky taste buds.

Yangzhou Banquet is located on the bank of Slender West Lake with endless scenery. It has an excellent location and is also close to the Slender West Lake Hot Spring Hotel, which closely combines food, accommodation and transportation.

On such a night, the Yangzhou Banquet integrates Yangzhou culture into the green tiles of the ancient Xieyang Road and integrates Yangzhou into the stomach and intestines of every visitor.

Fold a flower with the same style of Yanxi Strategy and print a woodblock

At the Yangzhou Double Expo Hall, I saw the history of Yangzhou.

The vassal kings who were enfeoffed here from the Han Dynasty took advantage of the local superior geographical conditions to develop their economy, bringing Yangzhou to its first great prosperity in history.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the opening of the Grand Canal once again provided an opportunity for Yangzhou's development. With the unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou also became a transportation center for grain, grass, salt, money, and iron from the north to the south and an important port for transportation at home and abroad. In fact, it has become the country's economic and cultural center, and countless literati and poets came here to leave a glorious page for Yangzhou.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the germination of capitalism led to the rapid development of Yangzhou's economy. Kangxi and Qianlong made many "patrols", which made Yangzhou unprecedented prosperity.

The smoke of history has long dissipated, and the thousand-year-old cultural relics silently tell the prosperity of the past. Yangzhou's prosperous history has accumulated profound historical and cultural heritage and left a large number of valuable cultural relics for future generations.

Here, cultural relics and history are no longer bleak, but lively and fragrant.

The masters reproduce woodblock printing, and the inheritors of Tongcao flowers make jewelry.

Yangzhou is alive again.

In a B & B on Dongguan Street, I stayed for three months

Location: Next to Dongguan Street, a 5-minute walk to Dongguan Street Gate Tower. There are also popular coordinates such as Pishi Street and Guoqing Road around.

Just like a dream of staying in three months, B & B is called staying in three months. The laziness I imagine in Yangzhou and the B & B I imagine are all here.

The super beautiful landlady led me into the room. In a flash, the beautiful flowers, the shining windows... Everything from the entrance to the attic, and then a large bed that makes you comfortable until dawn.

I think accommodation during travel is the most difficult thing to do with, and all bedding here are marked according to five-star hotels. In addition, books and maps related to Yangzhou are also equipped.

Put on a relaxed tea break dress, and Dongguan Street and the ancient canal are right outside the window. The intertwined feeling of being in the famous ancient Yangzhou at home and abroad and being separated from the modern elegance and luxury came into being here.
