While they are not old, while I still have the ability to repay them.

I always say I spend more time with my family because I haven't taken my parents on a trip this year due to the epidemic. The last time I went to Yangzhou for a vacation with my friends was very comfortable. I thought I wanted to bring my parents here to experience it, so I finally made it after taking time.

During the three-day and two-night vacation in Yangzhou, soaking in hot springs and tasting delicious food are the main activities, and the rest of the stroll is regarded as digestion.

Yangzhou, which has a rich culture of bathing, leisure, health and tourism, is also famous for hot springs. As early as 2012, the Ministry of Land and Resources officially named Yangzhou the first "China Hot Spring City" in the Yangtze River Delta region.

This comfortable family vacation is also a rare leisurely time to accompany your family. I spent a lot of time writing this detailed guide for a vacation in Yangzhou. I hope you find it very useful and it is not in vain for me to write so many words.

Since I can only travel within the province recently, Yangzhou is the best choice. Don't bother to make strategies, just leave as you say. It took two hours for a high-speed train to bring my parents to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou has convenient transportation, with Yangzhou Station and Yangzhou East Station. It takes two hours from my hometown Changshu to Yangzhou Station, and the ticket price is less than 100 yuan.

For the C3868 trip, it started at 14:38 and arrived in Yangzhou at 16:42. You can travel smoothly after exiting the station and checking the itinerary code and health code.

Taking a taxi to Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort where I booked is about 10 kilometers away. It only takes 20 minutes and the fare is about 25 yuan. I also stayed here during my last trip to Yangzhou. It is very suitable for couples, friends, parent-child, and family vacations.

If you are driving a car, in-house guests park for free. They only need to inform the front desk of the license plate number in advance to register. The resort has a large parking lot.

Check-in the reception hall and take a selfie of the family of three to commemorate it.

The service staff picked up our luggage, walked down the aisle, and took us to the spa villa area in a courtesy van.

The hot spring villa suite booked has two rooms, two separate bathrooms, a living room and a courtyard. Very private and housekeeper service.

The overall decoration is in a new Chinese style, and the living room is very large. Most of the time, we watch TV, eat fruit, chat and drink tea here.

This villa can accommodate a total of four people. I booked a standard room with a queen bed, and there are also two queen beds room types. The standard room is very large, facing the courtyard and has excellent lighting.

The other room was slightly smaller and had a king bed. Dad said,"I sleep in this big bed. It's rare for you to sleep with your mother. You can still chat before going to bed."

But I like this white pendant so much!

There are two separate bathrooms, both with marble decorated walls and floors, and both bathrooms have individually controlled air conditioning.

There is a private hot spring in the courtyard of the villa. I made an appointment with the housekeeper to fill the hot spring pool with water at 20:00 p.m., packed my luggage and went out to forage.

When you come to Yangzhou, the world's gourmet capital, how can you not take them to try Huaiyang cuisine?

Yangzhou Banquet (Slender West Lake Store) is next door to Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort where we stayed, and it is a three-minute walk. I went here for the first meal of my trip to Yangzhou, which is the ceiling of Huaiyang cuisine.

There were many private rooms for the Yangzhou banquet, but there were only three of us, so we went to the lobby. Individual guests of 2-6 people were more suitable.

There is a Ming chef in the lobby. You can look at a large pot of lion's heads, or you can personally watch the chef fry a Yangzhou fried rice.

There is also free Pingtan here. Listening to Pingtan and eating delicious food is very interesting.

I ordered a salt-water old goose for cold dishes, 68 yuan. Yangzhou old goose is a very classic local delicacy.

Yangzhou Lion Head One per person, 38 yuan each.

This lion's head is especially fragrant when eaten with the soup. It's not greasy yet. The size and meat amount are just right.

For Wensi tofu soup, my parents were amazed that tofu could be cut as thin as hair and melted in the mouth.

Crystal shrimp is 108 yuan/serving. Although the small portion is ordered, it is also a large amount. Each hand-peeled shrimps can be scooped with a spoon, which is super satisfying.

My father loved to eat braised pork and ordered one for him for 88 yuan. It is cooked fat but not greasy, and it is very delicious.

The staple food ordered the signature Yangzhou fried rice. My parents were amazed that a simple Yangzhou fried rice could be so delicious. They were very happy to see their smiles.

After dinner, I took a walk at the resort to digest food. The half moon hung on the treetops. I returned to the hot spring villa suite and soaked in the hot spring.

This private soup hot spring can accommodate 4-5 people and is very spacious. Because I was wearing a facial mask, soaking in a hot spring, and eating fruit, I didn't take photos regardless of my image and enjoyed the night.

The hot spring water is supplied from 10:30 to 22:30. It can be discharged for free once a day when you check in. An additional 300 yuan is required for the second water discharge.

When you come to Yangzhou, how can you not have Yangzhou morning tea?

My parents usually get up early, so I can only sleep until 8:30 to accompany them for morning tea and feel the water in Yangzhou.

I still walked three minutes to Yangzhou Yanshou Xihu Store, because the hot spring hotel's set meal even included morning tea.

There are actors singing pingtan on the stage in the morning, and many locals come here for morning tea.

You can choose set meals or order individually. You can order whatever you want. Melaleuca oil cake, crescent moon steamed dumplings, Wuding buns, emerald steamed dumplings... Arrange all the most distinctive tea in Yangzhou morning tea.

Huaiyang meat, boiled dried shredded silk, tea eggs... This morning tea was really sumptuous, so much so that after eating, all three people said they were so full that they couldn't eat at noon.

After eating morning tea, stroll around and digest food.

Among the TOP4 must-visit attractions in Yangzhou, Slender West Lake doesn't seem worth visiting this season. It's a bit bleak. I like Heyuan and Daming Temple very much.

In the end, I chose He Garden, which was regarded as the "No. 1 Garden in the Late Qing Dynasty". It was very close by taxi. The ticket was 30 yuan each and I bought three tickets.

He Garden is a Chinese classical garden building built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It mainly consists of three parts: "Jixiao Villa","Pianshan Mountain House" and Western-style Building.

I have been to countless gardens, and He Yuan's Fudao Corridor and Riding Tower are very distinctive. They are worthy of being the representative work of Yangzhou gardens in the late Qing Dynasty.

The first thing you see when you enter the West Park is the complex corridor running through the entire park. It is more than 1500 meters long and is known as the prototype of China's overpass.

The Western-style building was a residential area at that time. It was a combination of Chinese and Western architecture. It beautifully integrated Western architectural concepts and architectural elements into Eastern culture, and wonderfully reflected the openness of the owner's mind and the integration of diverse cultures.

"You see, people had fireplaces and pianos more than 100 years ago. At that time, many people were thinking about filling their stomachs!" I am an unqualified commentator.

Entering He Garden, you will be filled with subtle experiences wherever you walk and see, but it is difficult to convey in words. This is the artistic conception of Chinese classical gardens.

We ate too much in the morning and had a simpler meal at noon. We went to the legendary Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling and Noodle Restaurant. This is a century-old shop that locals in Yangzhou would recommend.

The price is really affordable!

A bowl of shrimp seed dumpling noodles only costs 7 yuan, a bowl of shrimp seed wonton only costs 8 yuan, and 5 bamboo shoots and meat pot stickers only costs 7 yuan. The three people spent 22 yuan and were drunk.

This is a place where local people eat daily. It is down-to-earth and some tourists will come here for morning tea.

In the afternoon, I strolled around Pishi Street and Dongguan Street, which were very close and just walking distance.

Dongguan Street really doesn't have much to go to, it's just a street for tourists, but it seems that when you come to Yangzhou, you have to take them to check out a card.

The famous Geyuan is also on Dongguan Street. Those who like gardens and bamboo can go for a stroll.

You can also have a pedicure, usually for 30-38 yuan, and feel the pedicure knife, one of the three knives in Yangzhou.

Walking around and taking photos, I really like Pishi Street. There are many personalized shops, cafes and bookstores here.

It's rare for my mother to be interested in taking pictures, and for the family to go shopping together.

Dad is a human tripod, and he is very patient with the arrogant couple. Give me a thumbs up.

When you are hungry, buy a sesame seed cake on Pishi Street. It smells very good!

When you are tired from shopping, go back to Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort to soak in the hot springs. The price of the family room in the hot spring villa includes Yangzhou banquet morning tea for 4 people and hot spring tickets for public areas for 4 people.

I will help you calculate your bill. The ticket for the hot springs in public areas is originally 168 yuan/person, but it is 672 yuan for 4 people. The morning tea set for the Yangzhou banquet is 78 yuan, and the price for four people is 312 yuan, which adds up to almost 1000 yuan. Recently, the price of the hot spring villa suite is only more than 1600 yuan. It is equivalent to spending the price of an express hotel and enjoying the facilities and services of a five-star hotel, which is too cost-effective.

In my memory, I don't seem to have gone to the hot spring with my parents. Since it's free, I'll take my father to enjoy it. You only need to bring your swimsuit when you enter, take a bath and change, and then go to the open-air hot spring area.

Traditional Chinese medicine pool, small fish pool, beauty pool, mahjong pool, mandarin duck pot... accompanied my father to soak them one by one.

On non-weekend afternoons, there are not many tourists, so you can occupy a pool.

Hidden in the ancient city's real hot springs.

The hot spring water of Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort comes from more than 2000 meters below the surface, and the hot spring outlet temperature reaches 70C. It belongs to a pure natural metasilicate and lithium hot spring.

There are leisure and entertainment projects such as a lounge hall, children's playground, chess and card room, health massage and other leisure and entertainment projects on the second floor. There is also a Quanlexuan singing room on the third floor!

My mother was unwilling to go to the public area, so she asked the villa housekeeper to fill the hot spring pool in the yard with water and prepare a hot spring afternoon tea.

After working hard all your life, you have to enjoy life, right?

I will really be hungry after soaking in the hot spring. At dinner, I asked: Want to try another restaurant? My parents said they were lazy to take a taxi, so they went to the place we had yesterday to eat, and then walked back to the hotel after a 3-minute walk.

I ordered four dishes and two snacks at about 150 yuan per person, and the family of three just finished it. A crispy squab:

Simple and refreshing cress shutters:

Dad said: This eel is cooked well. He didn't know that this Huaiyang eel paste sold for 128 yuan. But it's worth it. A big share.

This dish is also called soft pocket in Yangzhou. Do you know why?

Mom said: This braised fish head is really delicious. Super big fish head, but very delicious.

Each person has one crab shell yellow:

Add a large portion of sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean balls to leave a fragrant fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Back at the hotel, the three of them watched TV on the sofa in the living room and talked about their past country life, my childhood, and parents 'affairs. The night passed quickly.

The vacation days passed so fast that it was already the third day in a flash. I still went to Yangzhou for morning tea in the morning. Since it was included in the room fee, my frugal and frugal mom and dad must not be willing to waste it.

As soon as he entered the door, the familiar red sedan chair said:

Familiar booth, familiar location.

The exclusive packages of Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort are divided into two types: A and B.

Set A includes Gaoyou salted duck eggs, Huaiyang meat, cold celery, assorted pickles, Huaiyang hot shredded silk, Sanding buns, green vegetable buns, pine seed roasted wheat, red bean millet, five-spice stewed eggs, shrimp seed dumplings noodles, fruit, juice/milk/soy milk.

Set B includes Gaoyou salted duck eggs, Huaiyang meat, asparagus, cabbage edamame, Huaiyang hot dried shredded shredded, crystal shrimp dumplings, crab seed roasted wheat, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, fried dough sticks, mixed noodles with onion oil, fruit, juice/milk/soy milk.

Three people ordered two A sets and one B set, filling the table.

After breakfast, you can walk to Songjiacheng for a walk. This is a free park.

Yangzhou in the Song Dynasty had the saying of "one place, three cities", namely Song Dacheng, Song Jiacheng, and Baoyou City. Today's Songjiacheng Archaeological Site Park was rebuilt on the original site.

There is a Songcheng Bookshop in Songjiacheng Park. It has an antique decoration style and is very elegant. I recommend it to you.

I bought a high-speed train ticket for noon and ended a short three-day and two-night vacation in Yangzhou. Mom and dad said, it's great to have a daughter, and I enjoy it so much with me.

I spent the time accompanying them and seeing their curiosity, I was quite happy.

If you want to go out with your family and don't know where to go for a vacation, why not go to Yangzhou! It is the best time to soak in the hot spring, and it is also the time to have a very good price for the hotel.

Remember to collect and spare it!
