Who says that only fireworks can go to Yangzhou in March? July is full of flowers. It is still a good time to go to Yangzhou to start a summer vacation. However, you need to know how to play Yangzhou in July so that you can enjoy yourself and avoid the scorching heat.

Last week, my friends and I traveled in Yangzhou for 5 days. I found that Yangzhou is very suitable for summer vacation travel. I spent the day eating all Yangzhou delicacies, and then spent the night visiting large and small gardens, ancient houses and Slender West Lake, immersed in the city's food and night, not only eye-catching, but also nourishing the stomach. Please collect this guide for a night tour of Yangzhou!

First stop: Night tour of Slender West Lake and Slender West Lake Night Market

How can you come to Yangzhou without visiting Slender West Lake? A few years ago, I visited Slender West Lake in ancient costumes during the day. At that time, the clear skies were clear, green willows were like smoke, and flowers were like brocade. It was very amazing. Today, three years later, I suddenly discovered that Slender West Lake at night turned out to be even more charming and intoxicating.

When the colorful lights light up the Wuting Bridge, Xiaojinshan, Xichun Terrace, Twenty-four Bridge, and White Pagoda in Slender West Lake... You enter an immersive live-action drama that blends ancient and modern times.

We stood under the willow trees next to Wuting Bridge and stopped. A "Spring River Flower Night Night" was staged here. The ancient Wuting Bridge was in full bloom and dazzling flowers. Zhang Ruoxu, dressed in white, came in a small boat, singing "Spring River Flower Night Night", facing the rippling waves and the clear moonlight, is elegant and elegant, with fluttering clothes.

The Diaoyutai opposite is the opposite. It has an ethereal and silent beauty. It and its reflection stand alone in the water, blending up and down. Under the boundless dark night sky, the bright yellow pavilion actually warms people's hearts. The unique beauty of white space in Chinese landscape painting is vividly and vividly at this moment.

On the edge of the Xichun Terrace, lotus flowers danced in the gentle summer night breeze, giving off a faint lotus fragrance. A black swan swam gracefully across the lotus flowers, crossed the 24th Bridge, and disappeared into the layers of waves. I thought of the word "the night is as cool as water".

Those small islands and river embankments hidden by willow trees have now turned into colorful jungles, like scenes in fairy stories, where a nine-colored deer can pop out at any time!

After coming out of Slender West Lake, go to the night market in Slender West Lake. The night market starts from the east gate and stretches for hundreds of meters. It is full of fireworks and relaxation. It is all available with barbecues, milk tea, and snacks. When you are tired, you can find a tavern to sit down. Eat and drink slowly, paint fans, guzheng performances, tea art displays, etc., but you can't see it.

The night market lights can be said to be wonderful art installations. They form a sea of lights behind you and interweave into stars above your head.

Second stop: Night tour of Geyuan

Geyuan has a history of 205 years. This garden is famous and is a very classic private garden. However, Geyuan has its own scenery during the day and at night. I suggest you admire it during the day and at night respectively.

Baoshan Tower, Qingyi Pavilion, and Yiyuxuan are the most familiar places in Geyuan, but what makes me linger most is the four scenic spots in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the rockery and rocks, which are also the core attractions of Geyuan.

The spring scenery creates the artistic conception of mushrooming after rain. The jagged rockery is surrounded by bamboo shadows and dotted with stalagmites. This is an early spring scene, and peonies and peonies bloom in the flower beds. This is a deep spring scene.

Xiashan has a lively atmosphere. It is mainly composed of blue-gray Taihu Lake stones. The seemingly messy stacked stones are piled up into mountains. There are holes, bridges, lakes, and pavilions in the mountains, and lotus flowers are in full bloom, shuttling through them, like a maze in a Dream of Red Mansions., full of fun. At night, women and teenagers in ancient costumes would dance and sing in the Qingyi Pavilion by the lake. The girls danced gracefully and the teenagers sang around the beam.

Qiushan uses Yellowstone rockery, with winding stone paths leading to the autumn pavilion on the mountain. The layers of red leaves make the rockery looming, as beautiful as poetry and painting!

Winter Mountain uses white Xuan stones, especially at night, which exudes cold snow light. The cleverly thing is that four rows of round holes are opened on the wall. When the wind blows, there is an atmosphere of whistling wind and snow.

In Geyuan at night, the melodious sound of the guqin came from a certain pavilion. The woman suddenly danced under the porch. The housekeeper carried a lantern and led a group of young people to play games and treasure hunting in the garden. The night in Geyuan was like traveling through!

Outside the garden, there is also a bustling night market waiting for you to explore. It focuses on a fashionable trend of Chinese style. The antique streets are brightly lit. Internet celebrity check-in spots with Chinese characters as the protagonists are hidden on the street corners, and the atmosphere created by technological light and shadow. You will also find many Yangzhou specialty handicrafts and small souvenirs, which adults and children will like.

Third stop: Night tour of the North Moat

I like to visit the moat area at night because there are no tickets here and it is more market-oriented and down-to-earth. Many local people walk along this line every evening. Here, you will more truly feel the attributes of Yangzhou's slow life.

Walking along the river embankment, you will pass a thick city wall and a magnificent Tianning Temple. When you enter the temple, although the lights are bright, it is solemn and solemn. Finally, you will come to the Wenhui Pavilion with the curved eaves. It is one of the seven major library buildings in the Qing Dynasty. Although it was rebuilt, its history can be traced back to 1780. The collector in the pavilion,"Siku Quan Shu", can visit it during the day, and enjoy the night outside at night. It is also very comfortable.

Fourth stop: Night Tour of Heyuan

He Garden is located on Xuningmen Street. The five characters "The First Garden in the Late Qing Dynasty" are written at the entrance. It is also a model of Chinese classical gardens. He Garden is not large and is divided into four parts: East Garden, West Garden, Garden Residential Courtyard, and Pianshishan House.

It is worth noting that the stone mountain house was built by Shi Tao, a landscape painter in the Qing Dynasty. If you have seen his landscape paintings and combined them with the real scenes in front of you, you will truly feel the charm and vitality of his work Zhongshan Stone.

Shi Tao's paintings and scenery naturally shuttle, so in He Garden, we will have the artistic conception of swimming in paintings. The layout and application of buildings, plants, lake water, and rockery are unique...

At night, He Garden is particularly lively. In the pavilion on the pond, there are puppet shows, guzheng and other performances, which often attract many men, women and old to watch and enjoy. The pavilion and the corridor on the second floor are crowded with people.

The light and shadow of He Yuan are very good. Whether it is the slanting sunset in the evening or the bright lights at night, they all have their own charm, and each angle is a painting of its own.

Delicious food: Quyuan Tea House

I always say to my friends: If you love delicious food, Yangzhou will definitely bring you endless surprises. I would recommend several time-honored restaurants in Yangzhou to you.

You might as well start with morning tea at Quyuan Tea House. Although this is the second time I have eaten Fun Garden, I will still be moved by its environment. The private rooms in the garden are antique and exceptionally cool amidst the lakes and mountains.

The crab yellow soup dumplings have delicious soup, soft and delicate boiled dried silk, sweet and tough layers of cake, exquisite Gaoyou salted duck eggs, and soft and fragrant filling of Wuding buns... paired with a cup of clear green tea, they are all classics.

Delicious food: Yechun Tea House

Yechun Tea House has a different feeling. It also has pavilions, corridors and running water, but Yechun has a stronger atmosphere of the market. There is a stage in the courtyard, and local people sing here every morning. In addition to tourists, there are also many nearby neighborhoods in the audience.

An uncle sells lotus root flour and lotus seed flour here, and they have become time-honored brands.

We had Yechun's morning tea and lunch respectively, which were very good. I like their thousand-layer cakes, which are not too sweet, and I also like pigeon eggs, which are soft and soft.

The squirrel mandarin fish at lunch is beautiful in shape, attractive in color, crispy and delicious; the egg fried rice is oily and fragrant. After eating, take a stroll in the garden. The air is fresh and refreshing.

Food: Geyuan Salt Merchants Restaurant

After visiting the garden, I recommend you to try the Salt Merchants Restaurant at the exit. The lotus feast in summer is elegant and delicious. Every dish has the element of lotus, and cleverly add lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus seeds into the dish. The fragrance and delicacy of summer are stored in your taste buds.

Food: Canying Villa

Canying Villa is an antique courtyard in Slender West Lake. The grass in the courtyard is like silk and flowers are blooming.

A Huaiyang soft pocket can reflect the chef's skills, and the Wensi tofu knife skills are also silky. Whether the dishes are color, aroma, or presentation, they all present the beauty of the ancient oriental charm. Of course, you can also go to the food street next door and try all kinds of Yangzhou snacks.

Food: Yangzhou Banquet

Yangzhou Banquet is also a restaurant that I particularly like. Many celebrities have come to check in. I have always felt that its design has something to do with Dream of the Red Chamber, because the environment and tableware both have the visual feel of the Grand View Garden.

The dishes at the Yangzhou Banquet are more exquisite and exquisite. The ingredients are seasonal and fresh. Every meat dish is paired with a vegetarian dish with ulterior motives. While the colors are coordinated and the nutrition is balanced, it will not make you tired. This is also a restaurant. Award-winning countless restaurants.

Food: Private cuisine here

I was deeply impressed by the private cuisine here. Among them, my favorite were their four pieces of drunken lobster and goose. I don't know what wine the drunken lobster uses, but it's so fragrant. I ate 5 of them in one go, and the flowing shrimp yellow satisfied all my fantasies about crayfish this summer!

It was very cost-effective. We ordered a lot of hard dishes, and the average price was only 120 yuan per person.

Hotel: Slender West Lake Intercity Hotel

During my trip to Yangzhou, I have been staying at the Slender West Lake Intercity Hotel. It is surprisingly good. The meticulous service quality at a price of 300+ is indeed commendable.

Every day when I go out, the security guard trotted all the way with a box of mineral water and chased it to everyone. The smile is always sincere and festive! There are free tea, snacks and fruits 24 hours a day in the public area on the fifth floor. If you have children with you, you can also play games and do homework in the children's leisure area! Although the gym is small, it has enough equipment, and you can also wash clothes for free. There are no dirty clothes at the end of the trip. It is so clean and comfortable!

It is very close to Slender West Lake, Daming Temple, Geyuan and Heyuan, and it is also convenient to eat and shop around! I would recommend this hotel if you are in Yangzhou!

Yangzhou is a comfortable and leisurely city behind its heritage, but I think the most comfortable thing about Yangzhou is not the beautiful scenery or the delicious food, but the people here. They are like Yangzhou's flowing water and willows, calm and friendly. Gentle, will make you feel relaxed, so what kind of city do you remember Yangzhou?
