Traveling slowly in Yangzhou is really comfortable and full of vacation. This time I stayed in Yangzhou for four days and three nights with several friends, but I felt that it was not enough.

No wonder Kangxi went to Yangzhou six times, and Qianlong also went to Yangzhou six times. I have been to Yangzhou several times and will go again.

Many friends, like me, like to go to Yangzhou to stay for a few days. It is exquisite, leisurely and has a lot of delicious food. A local friend in Yangzhou said that even if you come to Yangzhou for ten days and a half a month, the food will not be the same.

Recently is really the best time to go to Yangzhou for a vacation. The autumn is crisp and crisp, and there are not many tourists. Many restaurants that used to have to queue for a long time do not need to queue. The key is that the hotel is extremely cost-effective and has a large discount.


The 4-day and 3-night strategy is ready for you for the slow life of Yangzhou, which is "wrapped in water in the morning and wrapped in water at night"!


Day 1: Live in a hot spring resort villa


With a train ticket, it takes two hours to travel from my hometown of Changshu to Yangzhou. It is really convenient. That day was cloudless and there was a transparent deep blue sky.


Stay at Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort in the afternoon. This resort is located in the city center, just opposite the east gate of Slender West Lake, and only a 10-minute drive from Wenchang Pavilion in the city.


I have stayed here before, but I chose this place without hesitation.

The entire Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort is hidden in the ancient city, with the stunning beauty of Slender West Lake, beautiful environment and shady trees.

After check-in at the front desk, a battery cart will be delivered to the hot spring villa area.

The resort is very large, with a total of 174 rooms, of which the hot spring villas have unique characteristics.


The hot spring villa is a flat-floor villa with a single courtyard. One building has an oversized living room and two rooms with separate bathrooms.


Each villa has a separate courtyard and a favorite in-house private soup pool.

The room was spacious and had super light. It is also very suitable for a family and I would like to bring my parents to experience it if I have the opportunity.


Soak in the hot spring pool for a long time in the afternoon, sprinkle with rose petals, and taste the exquisite Huaiyang snacks, it is really so pleasant.


After soaking in the hot spring, I sat in the yard and chatted and drank tea with my friends. I didn't go anywhere and enjoyed the slow time of my vacation.


2. Eat a table of Wang Zengqi's rural banquet


When you come to Yangzhou, how can you not go for a Yangzhou banquet?


Yangzhou Banquet currently has a total of six stores in Yangzhou. We went to the oldest Yangzhou Banquet Slender West Lake Store, which is next to the Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort where I live.


It's a minute's walk and it's super convenient.

Private rooms need to be booked in advance. Ten people can order them. They are antique and have a Jiangnan style. If there are only two or three people, you can eat in the lobby, and the dishes can also be ordered a la carte.

The vegetation of the world, and the food of the four directions, are nothing more than a bowl of fireworks. This table is a very distinctive Wang Zengqi rural banquet, 288 yuan/person. Let's see what we can eat?


The six flavors of cold dishes are called "splendid cold dishes", including Drunken Roche shrimp, dog-wrapped meat, salty platter, Jieshou dried tea, fish jelly in fish, and poplar radish.

These poplar radish really tests cutting skills. Yangzhou's three swords are very famous.

Jieshou dried tea is very interesting. At first, it smells like diesel oil. You have to eat it in large gulps and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.

The nine hot dishes are:


Pickled old chicken cigu soup, stewed yellow croaker with fresh bamboo shoots, chestnut and white sauce, lake turtle, returned fried dough sticks stuffed with meat, oily Gaoyou Wang tofu, exquisite family portrait in casserole, fresh shad with chicken oil and ham, roasted taro with farmhouse lentils, fried fat chrysanthemum with spring water.

Guangling has three fine dishes: beautiful double shine, bacon and vegetable rice, and fruits for each guest.

The dishes at Wang Zengqi's rural banquet are really exquisite and give a great sense of satisfaction. I love eating fried dough sticks stuffed with meat and chicken oil and ham fresh shad. The shad is eaten with the scales, which is extremely delicious.


After dinner, he continued to soak the water in the yard. When he looked up, he saw a crescent moon like water. It's really super quiet here and not disturbed.


The next day 3. How could I not go for morning tea?


After sleeping in the next day, I walked for 1 minute to go to the Yangzhou Banquet Shouxihu Store where I had dinner yesterday, had morning tea, and started the day with water.


The breakfast box is 168 yuan/person. If you try everything, you can skip lunch. If there are few people, the lobby also provides morning tea spots.

This "Flavor Yangzhou Banquet" is a combination of Yangzhou morning tea and Cantonese morning tea. It is really exquisite. Look at the salty duck eggs are all double yellow.

The recent crab roe soup dumplings are super delicious. The soup can be sucked up with a straw and is very delicious.

The crispy sesame cakes must not be missed. They are crispy in one bite.

Crystal meat and hot dried shredded silk are the old faces of Yangzhou morning tea.

Should tangerine peel beef meatballs belong to a type of Cantonese morning tea?

A serving of crystal shrimps, each one is crystal clear and very attractive.

This table of Yangzhou morning tea is so sumptuous! You'll probably skip lunch like I do, so it's not expensive.


4. Visit the park like a local


A different vacation trip to Yangzhou takes you to visit Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park from a different angle.


Living in Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort, because it is close to Songjiacheng, this free open garden has also become the back garden of the resort.


Take the Songjiacheng water tour route with friends to see Yangzhou from a different angle.

I also ran into a baby cygnet, which was so cute.


Tip: If you stay at Yangzhou Slender West Lake Songcheng Hotel or Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort, you can enjoy a discounted rate for rooms and cruise ships!

After taking a cruise ship, visit Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park.

During the Song Dynasty, Yangzhou had a saying that one place had three cities: Song Dacheng, Song Jiacheng, and Baoyou City. Today's Songjiacheng was rebuilt at its original address.

This is a good place for citizens to relax and take a stroll. It is also a natural oxygen bar surrounded by a moat.

I sat in the Songcheng Bookstore for a long time. In the antique atmosphere, I made a cup of tea and was quiet.

He also climbed the tower and overlooked Songjiacheng Sports and Leisure Park, full of greenery.

Yangzhou is not only the world's gourmet capital, the capital of East Asian culture, but also the world's canal cultural capital. Yangzhou is slow, Yangzhou is slow, which is suitable to feel slowly like this.


5. N ways to unlock hot springs


Go back to the resort and continue to soak in the hot springs. One-stop vacation is the choice of lazy people.


Whether you live in Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort or Yangzhou Slender West Lake Songcheng Resort, each room is given a public area hot spring ticket based on the bed, which is very cost-effective.

Who says there are no hot springs in Yangzhou? This is a real hot spring hidden in the ancient city.


Hot spring water originates from more than 2000 meters underground hot spring water veins. It is rich in various trace elements and minerals, and has good health and physiotherapy effects!

The hot spring pools here are also very interesting, with special features such as private soup houses, mandarin duck pots, mahjong ponds, traditional Chinese medicine ponds, kiss fish ponds, etc.


The private soup house is full of romance and privacy without being disturbed.

Have you ever seen it while playing mahjong and soaking in hot springs? So fun!

You can also throw yourself into the "mandarin duck pot" and cook it with cabbage and peppers.

Traditional Chinese medicine ponds have different curative effects and can be chosen according to your physical condition.

There are not many tourists after the National Day holiday, so you can reserve the entire hot spring pool. It's great!

The facilities of the hot springs in the public area are very complete, including book bars, movie theaters, spa rooms, chess and card rooms, rest halls, karaoke rooms, restaurants, children's entertainment areas...

It really has everything, and it's not enough for one day.

Travel Tips:

If you don't live in Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort, you can also come to the hot spring alone. The adult ticket for the public hot spring pool is 168 yuan per ticket, and the child ticket is 98 yuan per ticket.


6. A peaceful dinner with singing and dancing


I checked in for dinner at Yangzhou Banquet Songcheng Villa Store.


This store is famous for being quiet, private and waitresses with Korean ladies. It is known as the "Yangzhou Banquet with Singing and Dancing". Many super beautiful Korean ladies sing and dance in the private rooms, but unfortunately they cannot take photos.


Yangzhou Banquet Songcheng Villa Store is located in Songjiacheng Park, with a peaceful environment. The private room is very large, and there is also a tea seat at the door.

The minimum per person in the restaurant's private room starts at 300 yuan. This meal lasted 1-2 hours. Starting from the cold dishes, it amazed our vision and taste buds.

Classic Huaiyang cuisine old goose:

Classic Huaiyang cuisine, stewed silver carp head with abalone and sea cucumber in it, is perfect when eaten with super big fried dough sticks.

Classic Huaiyang cuisine, crab yellow rice mushroom tofu:

Compare it with Baiguo, you will know how big this shrimp is.

There are also many exquisite and innovative dishes during the banquet, such as ginseng chicken served on the side stove, milk white fish soup served on the side stove, etc.

Every time I travel to Yangzhou, I always feel that I lack a stomach.


The third day 7. Strolling around the quiet and slender West Lake in autumn


On the third day, I still slept until I woke up naturally. After breakfast, go visit Slender West Lake! Many friends come to Yangzhou for the first time, and Slender West Lake must go to check out a card.

There are really few tourists to Slender West Lake recently, and even the famous 24th Bridge is very quiet.


"On the bright night of the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade man teach to play flute?" Do you still remember this ancient poem?

I went to Xichun Terrace, where sometimes there are performances. From the window of Xichun Terrace, you can take such a scene: the same frame as that of Wuting Bridge.


A glance at Jiangnan.

Slender West Lake is actually very big. If you stroll around slowly, you can stroll around for a day. You can also choose a classic route and see the more representative 24th Bridge, Xichun Terrace, Wuting Bridge, etc.


Unfortunately, I couldn't experience the night trip to Slender West Lake this time. I look forward to the next time.


8. Check into Songcheng Resort Hotel


In the afternoon, I changed hotels and checked into Yangzhou Slender West Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel.


This resort hotel is separated by a wall from the east gate of Songjiacheng, adjacent to Slender West Lake Park, adjacent to the thousand-year-old temple Daming Temple, and enjoys the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake Scenic Area.

The most important thing to choose here is that Quyuan Tea House Songcheng Branch in the hotel is the first branch of Quyuan. It mainly promotes Yangzhou specialty morning tea and authentic Huaiyang cuisine.


There are not many tourists recently, so you can enjoy Yangzhou's specialties without queuing.

The room has a stylish color and a warm atmosphere.

Fruits and snacks were also given in the room. Looking from the window, you can have a panoramic view of Songjia City.

Air purifiers, disinfection cabinets, smart toilets, Dyson hair dryers... It is obvious that the bedding texture is also great.

The hotel also has a gym, self-service laundry, etc., with complete facilities.


9. Have a romantic garden afternoon tea

In the afternoon, have afternoon tea with friends in the garden of Slender West Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel.

In the evening, at the Songcheng Branch of Quyuan Tea House on the first floor of the hotel, I ordered a few exquisite Huaiyang dishes. The swaying day passed again.

This hotel is adjacent to the thousand-year-old temple Daming Temple and is worth a visit. Sanbadao Cultural Pedestrian Street and Hongqiofang Commercial Pedestrian Street are both within hundreds of meters of the hotel.


Farther away, you can also choose to visit Geyuan or He Garden in Yangzhou, both of which are very exquisite Jiangnan gardens.

Or go for a walk on Dongguan Street and buy some accompanying gifts. You can also go to Yangzhou Backwashing Museum to experience Yangzhou's bathing culture.

The fourth day 10. The sumptuous and comfortable morning tea in the garden


Eating morning tea from Quyuan Tea Room in the hotel garden is really a different enjoyment.


I booked morning tea in the garden at Yangzhou Slender West Lake Songcheng Resort Hotel in advance. On the fourth day, I slept until I woke up naturally and continued to drink morning tea.

This is the dish from the first branch of Quyuan Tea Room on the first floor of the hotel. The set meal for two is super sumptuous.

Crab roe buns, thousand-layer oil cakes, emerald siao, Yangchun noodles, Wuding buns, steamed dumplings full of juice, everything must not be missed.


After brunch, it is almost noon, so you can go home.

Is this kind of slow travel in Yangzhou, light, luxurious, lazy, and exquisite? Is it also your favorite vacation?

Pay attention to the Jiangnan girl's thoughts on CS and accompany you to see this beautiful world.
