Let's start with the key points:

Eat: There is a Huangqiao sesame cake shop on Dongguan Street. I have never eaten it before. I feel that it tastes good. Yangda yogurt is delicious and has a natural sweetness; others are the more common snacks, such as plum blossom cake, barbecue, roasted pig's trotters, etc. There are more people who will roast pig's trotters. Don't stand there and wait, you need to order first. Soup dumplings are a bit expensive in restaurants, at 29 yuan each, and the taste is average.

Play: Geyuan is the residence of salt merchants. Those who are curious about the ancient lifestyle can visit the buildings of the Qing Dynasty. The Han Guangling King Museum is not big and can be visited in 2 hours. Those who like archaeological history can go and have a look. There are not many exhibits. For those with natural scenery, you can go to Slender West Lake and Sanwan Scenic Area. The Sanwan Scenic Area is together with the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal is free but you need to make an appointment in advance.

Special experiences: Pedicure and shoulder pinching should be experienced, but you can leave the rest alone.

Playing experience:

During the Qingming Festival holiday, I decided to go to Yangzhou at the last minute. Before going, I didn't check any strategies, so I decided on Li Bai's "Fireworks in March to Yangzhou".

On the first day of the short holiday, at 9:40 a.m., I set out from Shanghai. There was a traffic jam on the road. I arrived in Yangzhou almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The original plan was to visit the Han Guangling King Museum, but time was tight, so I went to a free attraction, Sanwan Grand Canal Scenic Area. There is a story in this scenic area. The original waterway in this section of the canal was a straight line. Due to the high terrain in the north and low south, the water was rapid, and ships passing by often capsized here. In order to solve this problem, The canal was diverted, and the straight river was bent a few times to become today's Sanwan Scenic Area. The scenery is very good. Walking around the river will pass a large blooming mountain cherry forest (guess yes), and there is also a small hillside where small pavilions can be climbed. Children play football on the grass in the distance, and aunts will rehearse programs. The ancient canal is perfectly integrated into the modern city, making you never imagine that the old canal is hundreds of years old. It is like an elderly person at home quietly guarding his descendants, making people feel at ease.

On the evening of the first day, I went to Dongguan Street and planned to experience the Yangzhou pedicure that I had heard of for a long time. It was already 7 o'clock there and there were many people. I thought that I must check in the delicious food from a certain book one by one. As a result, I only ate roasted pig's feet and large kebabs. The snack streets of these attractions are all equipped with this configuration. Various barbeques, kebabs, stinky tofu, plum cake, milk tea shops, and shops from childhood are commonplace. The more distinctive thing to eat is Huangqiao sesame cakes. As a person who doesn't like sesame seeds very much, I don't mind the layer of sesame seeds wrapped around the outside. It's very fluffy and slightly sweet. Yangda yogurt is delicious, and there are many other things I haven't eaten yet, which needs to be explored.

The next morning, I visited the tomb of the King of Guangling of the Han Dynasty, the fourth son of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Tickets for 25 people per person. What is a little different from the tombs I have seen before is that they can have very close contact with the underground palace. The form of the underground palace is also relatively complete. You can see the style of the underground palace of ancient emperors and the theft ladder left by the tomb robbers. It is divided into two floors. The upper floor can be around the entire tomb and the lower floor is only open on one side. It gives me goose bumps. When I approached the first floor, the yellow cedar trees more than 2000 years ago gave off and conveyed to you in a dark and humid environment. In the afternoon, I didn't go to visit Slender West Lake, but chose Geyuan. The entrance fee was 46. The difference between Geyuan and Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden was that there were traces of life in Geyuan, and I could imagine the daily life of the salt merchant family in my mind. He Garden has no time to visit, so I will go again next time if I have the opportunity.

In general, Yangzhou gives me the feeling that it is a powerful low-key and can feel the rich historical and cultural heritage. It is worth a visit and try to avoid the holidays. This is a play experience. As for what to eat, explore it according to your personal taste. Personally, I recommend Huangqiao sesame cakes on Dongguan Street. For pedicure, I finally chose a Huaiyi knife on Dongguan Street. The recommended point is: you can experience three knives, pedicure, shave, and shoulder pressing. The technique is different from other techniques. It will not hurt very much, but it is very comfortable after pressing. What is not recommended is: it is not cost-effective, 120 per person, the duration is about 40 minutes, and the disposable blade is charged extra. It is recommended to choose a package of pedicure and shoulder massage, and don't bring anything else.
