[Talk about this trip]

Yangzhou is 100 kilometers away from Nanjing, 40 minutes by high-speed train

I have seen Yangzhou's spring, summer, autumn and winter, and I am extremely happy about this small city in Central Jiangsu.

The pace of life in Yangzhou is not fast. Yangzhou has a long history, there are many delicacies in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou's humanities are also very unique

It is such a city, quiet and located in a corner of Jiangnan

Many people say that Yangzhou does not count Jiangnan in terms of geographical location and dialect, but in fact, from the perspective of cultural temperament, Yangzhou is a pearl of Jiangnan culture

Few people talk about the scenery of Jiangnan, which can be compared to the word Yangzhou.

In October this year, with the bright sunshine, I set out from Nanjing to meet the old Guangling

Soak in hot springs, eat delicious food, and visit attractions

Yangzhou on the 3rd day, endless aftertaste

[About Accommodation]

To talk about where to live in Yangzhou, you must not miss Yangzhou Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort.

This hot spring resort is just across the road from the Slender West Lake Scenic Area. The resort features hot springs, and the accommodation environment is also very good. There are many villa types mainly, which is very suitable for many people to travel.

There were many people in our party, and we stayed in the presidential villa, a single-family villa. As soon as we entered the door, we were shocked by the atmosphere of the living room. We somehow felt like a leader's meeting.

There are 3 rooms in the villa, as well as a chess and card room, restaurant, outdoor hot spring, etc. The room is large and has a separate dressing table, making it so convenient for girls to stay here.

These Zen little things can be seen everywhere in the room. In this autumn time, when you don't go out, make a cup of tea, chat for a while, blow a gust of wind, and smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus.

There are hot springs and pavilions in the courtyard. The hot spring pool is cleaned by special personnel. The water temperature of the hot spring is controlled at around 40 degrees. It is very hot when you soak in, especially after a long day of travel, it is definitely a enjoyment to soak in a beautiful hot spring.

Rose petals, hourglasses, towels, water and other things are prepared next to the hot spring, adding some romance to the simple hot spring.

Golden osmanthus blooms all over the branches in the garden. When you open the window, waves of refreshing osmanthus fragrance will float in.

This season is my favorite time of the year. It is neither cold nor hot, and the years are quiet and good.

Stand under the osmanthus tree and take a set of autumn marks.

Soak hot soup in the garden to relieve your fatigue.

You can pass through the lobby and pass through here to reach the public bathing pool.

This part of the hot spring pool is also open to the public, so even guests who do not stay here can enjoy the hot spring time belonging to Yangzhou.

The most must-miss small fish pedicure. As soon as jiojio put it down, a flock of fish gathered around her. It will feel itchy at first, but it will feel very comfortable after a long time. When you get up, you will find that the dead skin on your feet has also gone a lot.

Slender West Lake Hot Spring has 40 hot spring pools with different types and functions. In addition, there are also SPA treatments to satisfy your desire for vacation and health.

This place belongs to the domestic natural metasilicate and lithium hot spring. The hot spring is divided into outdoor hot spring and indoor hot spring. It is also equipped with electrical titanium room, salt treatment room, dry steam room, theater, video game room, chess room, massage box and other supporting facilities.

Generally speaking, it is no problem to soak in the hot springs here and play for half a day.

Holding the doll in the hot spring pool, you can create a group of pool photos in minutes

Under the osmanthus tree, smelling the flowers of flowers and relaxing, this feeling is really great.

[About Food]

[Xishi Building]

If you want to talk about Huaiyang cuisine, you must not mention Xishi Tower in Yangzhou. After all, it has been visited on the tip of China twice. Just because of this fame, I must come and try it.

Authentic Huaiyang cuisine emphasizes cold dishes and hot dishes. Generally speaking, when you book a good location and arrive at the hotel, the first thing on the table must be cold dishes. Depending on the number of people, the number of cold dishes varies.

For example, in Yangzhou, there must be four pieces of geese missing. For many friends from other places, they must be very puzzled why Yangzhou people like to eat four pieces of goose instead of much goose meat? In fact, four pieces of goose are the highest courtesy for entertaining distinguished guests. Generally speaking, the price of four pieces of goose is much higher than that of goose meat.

People who have seen China on the tip of their tongue will probably have an impression of Wensi tofu in Huaiyang cuisine. The tofu is cut as thin as silk and can be threaded with a needle when it is spread in water.

At Xishi Building, we had the honor to watch Wensi tofu made by the inheritor of Huaiyang cuisine. The knife skills were superb and the tofu was indeed as thin as hair.

The cut tofu is placed in the water. At this time, we can clearly see the tofu one by one, very distinct.

Stir it with chopsticks, the tofu will spread out, and the texture will become more obvious. According to the chef, this cutting technique is difficult to achieve without 10 years of long practice.

Sure enough, this was accumulated over the years.

The lion's head in Xishi Tower is also a must-try. It is definitely very unique.

The reason why the lion head is named is because although the overall shape is round, it is uneven, which is a bit similar to a stone lion. The lion's head here is in the form of braising, and there are also excellent Gaoyou salted duck eggs inside. The meat is tender and smooth, and it will not feel tired at all. It is highly recommended by five-star!

Shrimp meat must be eaten hot, and you must eat more at a time. This kind of satisfaction and happiness are unspeakable.

An upgraded version of Wensi tofu. Don't underestimate this soup. It is very delicious. The tofu is as thin as silk and the bottom is connected. This is also a very big test for knife skills.

Soft pocket, also known as rice eel, is made with thick oil and red sauce and has a bit sweet taste. It is also a very classic dish in Huaiyang cuisine.

When you come to Yangzhou, how can you not try the big boiled dried shredded silk here?

The soup base is delicious, and the dried silk absorbs the flavor of the soup, making it very good.

The taste of this fish is a bit similar to the squirrel mandarin fish in Suzhou. It has a crispy outer skin, soft and tender inner skin, and has a sweet taste. It is a beautiful and delicious dish.

The sausages you pour from home are salty and delicious. You can eat them with Wowotou

You must have a bowl of delicious soup. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's fresh eyebrows.

You must also try these Yangzhou snacks. They are sweet and delicious. They are just right after eating salty and fragrant food.

As a Nanjing native, how can I not recognize this characteristic radish!

Radish gravy, although it is just a simple ingredient, after being processed by chefs, it is even more delicious than meat!

When you come to Yangzhou, you must eat something, naturally this Yangzhou fried rice.

Yangzhou fried rice is actually an upgraded version of egg fried rice, but it is also very particular about cooking skills here. This dish emphasizes that the rice grains are clearly defined and the eggs are also wrapped in gold and silver.

The high-quality version of Yangzhou fried rice is served with dozens of ingredients and added at different times, just like what we eat.

There are also tricks to fried rice. Only by frying every grain of rice can the characteristics of this Yangzhou fried rice truly come out.

Our beautiful model will also go up and give it a try. Judging from this posture, it has potential.

When the rice is out of the pot, the colors are very good. The rice grains are clearly defined, and finally sprinkled with some shredded jade pillars. The taste is really good.

For Yangzhou people, the side dishes of Yangzhou fried rice are matched according to the seasons.

[Yangzhou Banquet]

When you come to Yangzhou, in addition to the Xishi Tower, the Yangzhou Banquet cannot be missed!

The Yangzhou Banquet is just across the road from Slender West Lake, next to the Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort where we stayed, so it was very convenient to eat here.

The overall building is antique and has a flavor of Jiangnan. There are several towering ginkgo trees in the courtyard, which must be very beautiful in late autumn.

We booked a private room upstairs. The restaurant is also relatively Chinese, and the tables and chairs are all made of wood.

Before the food comes, eat some snacks and make a tooth sacrifice

The same is true here. Cold dishes are served first. When eating in Yangzhou, Gaoyou's salted duck eggs and old geese must be indispensable. As the highest courtesy, the old geese must only need the goose's skull and neck.

Autumn Japan is the season for eating hairy crabs, how can you miss it!

The hairy crabs use a drunken cooking method and taste very good.

Each person has one piece of duck soup stewed with silver chrysanthemum ham. It is salty and delicious. You can finish a whole bowl in one go.

Shrimp and crab roe stewed vermicelli skin, this is the first time I discovered that the vermicelli skin can be so delicious!!

The crab roe and shrimp are fresh, and the vermicelli skin perfectly blends the flavors of the two. It is really great.

Yangzhou cuisine cannot be avoided. It must be lion's head. This casserole chicken lion's head must be tried. It is a relatively home-cooked version, but lion's head is also very delicious, fat but not greasy, and has the delicacy of chicken soup.

The fish is very delicious and the meat is very tender. This steaming method is more healthy.

The skirt of catfish belly with rice mushroom, the taste of rice mushroom is good, and it feels like chestnut every time I eat it.

The vegetables are my favorite Artemisia argensis dried tea. This is the favorite wild vegetable of Jiangnan people and it is very fragrant.

The staple foods are leek egg cakes and wine-brewed cakes, both freshly made and delicious when they are hot.

[Nashan Geopark]

When talking about volcanoes in our country, many people's first reaction must be the Changbai Mountains located in the northeast. In fact, over the tens of thousands of years of changes in the times, the geology of many cities in our country has also changed. Just like Yangzhou City located in Jiangsu Province, it is now a city close to the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. However, thousands of years ago, it was a real coastal city, a city with a volcanic belt.

At the entrance of Nashan, there is such a sculpture called "Emptiness". It is designed by contemporary artist Mr. Min Yiming and is made of cast copper. The whole design conveys the concept of "emptiness" to us, whether it is macro or micro, or philosophical. In fact, this design is also very consistent with the volcanic theme of Nashan, so displaying it here is the real "Make the best use of everything".

Walking into the Address Park, you can see a sculpture called "Awakening Forest". For the forest, their awakening comes from the chirping of birds. The sculpture here also symbolizes the experience of millions of years. After thousands of years of wind and rain, today's Nashan has finally woken up.

The entire scenic area can be visited by routes. There are sightseeing buses inside the scenic area. You can take a sightseeing bus and get off at each point to visit. The first thing we visited was this Qinglong Wall.

In Nashan, there has always been a legend about a white dragon offering sacrifices to its mother and a green dragon falling in love. Therefore, there is Bailongquan in the northwest of Nashan and Qinglongtan in the southeast. Because the broken basalt of the mountain on the left side here intrudes into the gravel layer of the Yuhuatai Formation and forms a fold, like a dragon without head or tail.

Nashan is currently an extinct volcano. The main thing you can see here is the landscape left behind by volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. It mainly consists of one main volcano and five parasitic volcanoes.

So in Nashan, the first thing we saw was the corridor landscape. This must be the most must-miss field trip area for students studying geology or geography.

This piece is the famous flying stone, porous basalt, dark gray brown. When lava is ejected, volatile gases are separated out of the lava under the conditions of reduced pressure and sudden temperature drop, and the lava is rapidly solidified and wrapped in the magma, leaving many round or elliptical holes in the rock.

The reason why it got this name is because it flew from somewhere else.

Here, I also heard some terms about volcanoes for the first time, such as the channel facies and overflow facies mentioned earlier.

Bunshipo is located on the southern slope of Nashi Mountain. This group of basalt stone pillars is a natural wonder. They are left on the hillside like bundles of sleepers.

It is also here that there is a legend about Zhang Guolao stopping to play chess, so there are many myths and legends interspersed throughout Nashan, so you can come and find them on the spot.

Oblique joints can be seen more intuitively here. Oblique joints refer to joints that intersect with the rock strike or fold axis. The different forms of these joints are mainly related to the push of volcanic lava in the later period. The oblique joints here are one of the four main joint forms of the Nashan basalt stone pillar group.

Looking at balashipo from another angle, you can feel the magic craftsmanship of nature more. The landscape of this basalt stone pillar forest is still relatively rare in the world, so this is the value of the geological park.

Most of these stone pillars are in regular pentagons or hexagons, piled up among the rocks. No wonder they say that they must come to Nashan Mountain in Yizheng, Yangzhou if they want to see the joints of basalt stone pillars.

Guolao River is composed of waterfalls, rope bridges and colored stone beaches. Speaking of this, we have to mention the myth and legend "The Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains" that we were very familiar with when we were young. It is said that Nashan originated from the hill near Wangwu Mountain. Because Kua'e's son was naughty, he accidentally fell into the Yizheng boundary. He pressed down with his fingers, hence the name.

In current words, Zhang Guo was going to "clean up the follow-up stall." Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here, he went to the mortal world and left the stone pillars he had tied up here. He also rested here to drink water.

Here, there is also a mountain league stone. It is said that couples must take photos in front of this scenic spot.

Walking through the iron chain bridge beside the Guolao River, listening to the gurgling sound of flowing water, the weather in Yangzhou on this day is just right.

The water is rapid and the water in the pool is clear. Although this year is generally dry, the water flow here is still not small. Although this mountain peak is only 146 meters, for Jiangsu in the plains, this is already the second peak in Central Jiangsu. It is the second peak, so there are many water sources in the mountains.

Badger Home Valley gets its name from the fact that you can meet dog badgers and pig badgers here. In fact, I have never seen this creature named "badger", so I still have some imagination about this place.

Near here, we can see the explosive phases left behind after the volcanic eruption. In Nashan, there are a lot of such explosive phases left behind, so it also gives us a very intuitive display.

Volcanic slag belongs to volcanic slag with many pores produced after magma eruption and encountered a low-pressure environment. In Nashan, due to the basic magma, the rocks formed are "slag-like basalt". Their large accumulation can be inferred that this was once the location of the crater.

Here, arc-shaped joints can be clearly seen because vertical columnar joints are heated by hot basaltic magma, or they become plastic arc-shaped joints under the action of gravity before they have completely cooled. This set of arc-shaped joints hangs on the hillside like a hornet's nest, which is also one of the four main joint forms.

Volcanic sandal is also a relatively rare post-volcanic eruption landscape. It continuously rolls in the air and finally falls into volcanic ash, maintaining its curved and spherical shape.

There is also a myth and legend here in Bailongquan. Legend has it that there was a couple who once lived in Nashan. Because the white dragon and green dragon in the sky made a mistake, the white dragon was punished to go down to the lower realm to transcend the tribulation and happened to be reincarnated into this family. However, because the woman was scared to death after giving birth to a white snake, the little white dragon would come here every year to pay tribute to her mother and cry for the sake of giving birth. Over time, there was a winding river called the "Dragon River". This place is also called Bailongquan.

Although the water is not abundant this year, the water here is still rapid.

Nashan is the origin of Lvyang Spring Tea. Because it is close to the crater and nourished by volcanic ash, the quality of the tea is very good.

In ancient times, there were no convenient communication tools as modern times. The most common way was to set off beacon fires to show vigilance. Generally speaking, the place where beacon fires are set up is to choose the local commanding heights to build beacon towers. In ancient times, lights were used to replace them. Cloud lights mainly refer to commanding heights here.

Climbing up the stairs, we came to the commanding heights of Nashan Mountain.

There is nothing wrong with the so-called climbing and looking far away. Standing at a high place, you can see the scenery far away and the most noteworthy geological museum in Nashan.

These forms are also relatively rare shear joints, which refer to joints produced by shear stress in rock. This is also one of the four forms. What we see in front of us is as if a stone had been cut by a large pair of scissors, showing a shearing relationship with a cylindrical joint.

Although joints in volcanic belts are not uncommon in our country, most of those scenic spots have a single joint form. Buxiang Nashan Geopark has four main forms and is huge in scale.

Lusheng Peak refers to the group of basalt stone pillars in front of you whose overall shape is similar to the Chinese classical instrument Lusheng, hence the name.

In Nashan, do you think these are the only natural attractions? Of course not! There are also many places here to slow down for leisure and entertainment, like the cafe located next to Bunshi Slope!

The building made of masonry as the main raw material is also a bit like basalt joints. It has large floor-to-ceiling windows. It feels good to sit in the coffee bar and be warm in the sun.

A muffin? A cup of milk tea, this bright morning time, wantonly "squandered".

In the morning, the sun is right in the cafe. It is really comfortable to sit on a stool, face the sun, and feel the light pouring down.

There is a place to drink coffee, how can there be no place to drink tea? After all, our country's tea culture still has a long history.

At the tea shop near Bailongquan, if you are tired from visiting the scenic area, you must come and sit.

A cup of tea, a piece of sesame seed cake, any salty or sweet options.

The combination of sesame seed cakes and green tea is the most common combination in our old days. The sesame cakes are fragrant and crisp, the green tea is slightly bitter, and the autumn day is very warm.

Lunch at noon is settled at Dingchayan Beer House. The inside of the Beer House feels like ice and snow and is also a good place to take photos.

For lunch, I made my own dumplings.

From kneading the dough to rolling the dumpling skins, filling and pinching tightly, you must do your own work at every step. Only in this way can the meal you eat be particularly fragrant and meaningful.

The dumplings cooked in a large pot are served and served with a little vinegar. This large plate will be eliminated in minutes.

Looking at the highest point of Nashan, the place with the eye-catching five-star red flag is the Nashan Geological Museum.

Walking along the road to the museum, the first thing you see is this sculpture. This sculpture is also the work of Master Min Yiming. In terms of shape, it looks like ears and whistles. In fact, this is an old tree root, the parts left behind over the years have been carved. The book on the top seems to be its past. Although it is "dead", it still reveals itself to us.

The facade of the Nashan Geological Museum is built of stone and is surrounded by yellowed lawns. The museum seems to have been uprooted from the ground. The building and the soil are inseparable.

There is a big "Brief History of Time" hanging on the door of the museum. Walking here, time seems to have gone back thousands of years.

When you walk into the museum, the first thing you see is this Nashan Book Bar. The bookshelves on the entire wall, light shines in through the glass, making it warm and bright.

Leaning against the bookshelf and holding a book, you can pretend to be a literary girl.

For those of us who don't have a special understanding of geology, museums are the best way to get a glimpse of knowledge.

Only by understanding the World Volcanic Geopark can we better understand the preciousness of Nashan. Only by understanding more about the remaining phases after the volcanic eruption can we better understand the scenery we see outdoors.

In the exhibition hall, we are introduced in detail to the world's top ten volcanic rock pillar landscapes. It covers famous scenic spots from all over the world. Among them, the ones we are most familiar with and may be the ones that many people have seen most are definitely located in Saigon, Hong Kong. The rhyolite volcanic rock pillar landscape.

However, in fact, the volcanic rock pillar landscape in Nashan is very rich, and it is no less inferior to the world.

Through these pictures displayed, we know that there are still these amazing attractions in the world. These scenes after the volcanic eruption are also a kind of evidence and continuation of existence. Even if these volcanoes have become extinct volcanoes now, we can still imagine what a heroic scene it was thousands of years ago.

Continuing along the passage in the museum, you can watch the immersive experience here, or you can walk into the time tunnel to learn about the changes in geology.

The lights in the Time Tunnel will turn on instantly when people walk by, and what is displayed on the right hand side is also some popular science knowledge. These places can be slowed down and studied carefully. Although it is not said that you will understand it thoroughly, at least when talking to others, you can also be well-informed.

The Mirage Corridor is a sloping road. Light can shine down through the skylight, shine on the wall and reflect on the ground.

I like this road very much and always feel that the charm of light and shadow is infinite.

There are also many interactive play areas in the museum, such as this one is mainly a place for children to play. Through the combination of projections and objects, children are attracted to stop.

The rest area can also interact to play some games or experiences.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows have a good view, and the windows are full of green. Even in autumn, they are still full of greenery.

On the other side of the museum are some Internet celebrity check-in spots. The dreamy Crystal House is the most suitable for shooting portraits. The changing colors show different scenes.

In the colorful light house, small light bulbs hanging down one by one, like fireflies in the night, constantly flashing light.

In addition to these light and shadow rooms, there are also many check-in walls that are popular among couples, where you can divination "love" or find the most touching love words you have ever heard.

Although they are all simple settings, they are very meaningful and attractive.

Finally, in the immersive experience hall, from the birth of the universe to the birth of the solar system, this scene shows us the origin of the universe. Because it is a 360-degree panoramic experience, the viewing effect is excellent, and you can have a clear view no matter where you stand.

The crater of Nashan and various volcanic shapes left behind by the eruption of Nashan volcano are also displayed here. When you come to this scenic spot, whether you visit the museum first and then visit the scenic spot, or visit the scenic spot first and then see the museum, the combination of the two models can also give people the deepest impression.

You can go to the top floor of the museum. The top floor platform is very empty and the view is good

The most important thing is that it is very suitable for taking photos. Friends visiting museums must not miss it!

[Yangzhou Double Expo Hall]

Yangzhou Double Expo Museum is located in the western district of Yangzhou New City. It consists of Yangzhou Chinese Engraving Printing Museum and the new Yangzhou Museum (referred to as "Yangzhou Double Expo Museum").

When you walk into the museum, the first thing you see is such a replica sculpture. It is a funerary object, carving Fuxi and Nuwa.

For a city, the best way to understand the history of the city must be to visit the museums here, start from ancient times, and see the changes of the times.

The museum starts from the geographical location of Yangzhou's earliest coastal areas to the later history of city construction and prosperity.

Like all museums, the exhibits here are mainly divided into pottery, porcelain, calligraphy and painting works, etc. However, the most distinctive thing in Yangzhou and not to miss is the woodblock printing here.

This is a gold coin. In ancient times, it was generally not used as circulation currency. In most cases, it was given by the emperor, so the gold content is very high and the natural value is higher.

The exhibits are very rich. What are displayed here are Tang tri-colored products. However, as time goes by, the original colors have faded a lot, leaving only these shallow traces.

This painting shows Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty going to Jiangdu. We all know that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty liked Yangzhou very much. According to legend, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty specially dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal because Yangzhou produced beautiful women. In fact, it is difficult for us to trace the reasons for thousands of years ago. We can only say that Yangzhou has been a favorite place for literati and poets since ancient times.

Ancient buildings implemented a responsibility system. Generally speaking, names would be engraved on the bricks. Once quality problems occurred, they would be investigated. This is why ancient buildings were generally of good quality.

In the museum, there is also such an antique street, which shows us the style of ancient Yangzhou.

This is a hairpin worn by women. It is very thin. The replicas on display are collected in the collection room.

These are the three famous knives in Yangzhou. It can be clearly seen from the picture that Yangzhou pedicure is a skill that has existed since ancient times, so it is no wonder that I have to experience it when I come to Yangzhou now.

In ancient times, printing books was not as convenient as we are now. The invention of block printing has greatly facilitated people's lives.

This is a replica of the ancient woodblock printing scene. The outside is external, and the inner master will carve here. In ancient times, woodblock printing had three forms, official, private and street.

At present, in the Shuangbo Museum, you can still see inheritors of intangible cultural heritage writing, carving and printing. Generally speaking, the typefaces for woodblock printing are written by people who write better, and then printed on a board and engraved in reverse.

The lettering is also very particular, and every knife must be made accurately and with just the right strength, so that the finished product printed is perfect enough.

I also started to experience it. Dip in ink, brush, and print, and every step had to be just right. Otherwise, if there was too much ink and the ink dried, the effect would be very bad.

This seemingly easy picture will find that it is not so easy when you start using it. Sure enough, everything requires technology.

Finally, we must talk about the treasures of the museum. Only this one is displayed in a single exhibition hall. This is the Yuan Dynasty plum bottle with blue glaze and white dragon pattern: 43.5 cm high, 5.5 cm in diameter, and the largest abdominal diameter is 25.3 cm., and the bottom diameter is 14 cm. The successful firing of high-temperature blue glaze added new varieties to the color glaze of porcelain and laid the foundation for the high development of Jingdezhen porcelain making technology in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Currently, only three pieces have been handed down to the world, and this piece is the best preserved one.

Finally, let's take a look at another masterpiece of intangible cultural heritage inheritors in the museum-Tongcao Flower.

The common grass flower is known to people as it was worn by Queen Lifucha because of her frugality during last year's fire. The common grass flower can be made into various emergency flowers, from hair accessories to ear studs and rings.

The handmade little sister is also a Hanfu enthusiast. These decorations are the most suitable for Hanfu and gowns to wear.

[Epilogue]

Yangzhou on the 3rd, eat, drink and have fun. Yangzhou is by no means the only place in Slender West Lake and Daming Temple.

Stay in this city for 2 more days and "communicate" with this city more, and you will find more differences.

Wait until the autumn is deeper and go to Yangzhou.
