Diaoyutai is one of the must-check attractions to enter Slender West Lake. The best thing is a three-view platform. You can see Diaoyutai, Wuting Bridge and White Pagoda from one angle. This is the legendary framing art.

The 24th Bridge is a combination bridge connected by a mountain stream plank road, a single arch bridge, a three-folded flat bridge and a blowing flute pavilion. The embossed of colorful clouds chasing the moon on the railing, the junction between the bridge and the water is stacked with clouds and rocks, and the fragrant osmanthus is planted all around, allowing people to see clouds, water, moon and flowers at any time and experience the "Twenty-Four Bridge Bright Moon Night".

Coming out from the north gate of Slender West Lake, diagonally opposite is the famous Daming Temple. The entire Daming Temple is divided into three parts. The middle is the main temple building, the east is the sacred tower, and the west is the garden-style back garden (West Garden). It is recommended to visit in the order of middle-east-west.

There are three back-rubbing halls in Yangzhou, all near the scenic spot. We went to the Slender West Lake branch. The owner is the president of the Yangzhou Back-rubbing Association. Different packages have different back-rubbing times, and all start in one hour. We made a 198-bar bath set. The set package includes bathing, back rubbing, back massaging, etc. The whole process follows the old-fashioned method, and the whole process is rubbed with traditional towels, which is really comfortable. After taking a bath, you wash your feet on the second floor. The pedicure master is Master Xu Yongchun, a traditional Yangzhou pedicure master. He is good at knife skills and is worth a try.

Geyuan is called Geyuan because there are many green bamboos in the garden, and the bamboo leaves are shaped like the word "ge". The whole garden is exquisite and elegant. It is a famous representative of Yangzhou's private garden. The garden has three north, east and south gates. The north gate only enters but not exits, the east gate only exits but not exits, and the south gate can be entered or exited.

Outside Geyuan you will find Dongguan Street. This street is not only an old historical street, but also a concentrated place for local delicacies and specialties. The snacks here are priced at reasonable prices, and you can go to whichever has a lot of people.

Accommodation tips

You can choose to stay near Wenchang Pavilion and Slender West Lake in the center of Laocheng District, where scenic spots are concentrated. You can also choose the Super 8 Select Hotel Yangzhou Jiangdu Passenger Station Store like us. This hotel is next to Jiangdu Long-distance Passenger Station and is only 5-10 minutes away from the intersection of Beijing-Luzhou Expressway, Ningtong Expressway and Qiyang Expressway. You can reach Jiangdu Railway Station in 10 minutes, and it takes only a 30-minute drive to Yangzhou Taizhou International Airport. It is convenient to check in no matter where you are from. Also, you can help with luggage storage by phone reservation in advance (we arrived at Jiangdu Railway Station before 12 a.m., and most hotels don't check in after 12 o'clock. We want to travel lightly and need to check in our luggage), and the room here is also very clean and quiet ~ it is convenient to return, hehe ~
