The two restaurants in Yangzhou are around the Slender West Lake Scenic Area; and what level is the second diamond? It is a must-eat restaurant on anniversary days. Quyuan Tea House, the most popular in Yangzhou City, is in "Twelve Ways of Sharp Flavors"

Quyuan Tea House, located on the east bank of Slender West Lake, was once the private residence of salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty. After more than 200 years, it has finally become a representative restaurant with traditional and authentic Huaiyang cuisine. When Emperor Qianlong visited Yangzhou for the sixth time, he came to visit it four times. The name of the garden "Quyuan" was also given by Qianlong. Due to historical reasons, only Siqiao Yanyu Building, Cong Guiting and Cheng Bi Building are left in the Quyuan Building. Doors, palace lanterns, and corridors are all the main factors in Jiangnan gardens.

The dishes are exquisite in shape and mellow in taste; in cooking, they make good use of heat and pay attention to fire skills. They are good at stewing, stewing, simmering, heating, steaming, roasting and frying. Judging from the craftsmanship of Huaiyang cuisine in making dishes, it is full of changes and rich imagination. It can be seen from the eight-treasure gourd duck "A Bite of China".

Yangzhou fried rice is a staple food that must not be missed. It is golden in color, full in grains, crispy and refreshing.

Huaiyang cuisine tastes fresh, fresh and peaceful, with moderate salty and sweet shades. In addition, there are innovative dishes such as iced lobster, fried shrimp with sweet beans, asparagus veal, and peppered grassland tripe, which are also very worth a try.


There is Guangzhou-style morning tea in the south and Sugar-style morning tea in the north-Yangzhou Quyuan Tea House is the most authentic

If you live in a guest house, you must not sleep too much in the morning. The rising sun shines through the dense forest like the Wizard of Oz, and you can feel the greenery of the garden city and the quiet and comfortable morning of Slender West Lake. The most important thing is that you will discover how the Yangzhou people who "pack water in the morning and pack water in the evening" start the day-eat morning tea.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, citizens, friends and tourists lined up to pick up their numbers have gathered here. When it comes to morning tea, it is a Chinese social eating custom. The custom of morning tea is most common in southern China, mainly in Guangdong and Jiangsu, and Guangzhou morning tea and Yangzhou morning tea are most famous. In Jiangsu, the Lixiahe area is actually the main area, namely Huai 'an, Dongtai, Gaoyou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Xinghua and other cities. During the pre-and mid-Qing Dynasty, it was an important period for the development of morning tea culture. Yangzhou is an important birthplace of Huaiyang cuisine. In addition, the morning tea culture is more prominent because of the daily life and catering of local people in history.

For Yangzhou people who love morning tea, it is still common to queue up for an hour to taste and taste for two hours; so it is often time to run out of morning tea. It is a kind of happiness for a family to get together and chat about ordinary things. Like the round-table banquet the night before, several plates of splendid cold saucers are a must-have. The ingredients are simple, the dishes are exquisite, the colors are attractive, the taste is moderate, and the combination of meat and vegetables are the biggest characteristics.

Guangzhou-style morning tea is very particular about tea drinking. At Quyuan Tea House, you can try Lvyangchun green tea. It has the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, helping digestion, and neutralizing the taste. However, for people with cold stomachs, it is also good to drink a cup of jasmine tea. Before tasting, green tea neutralizes your tongue coating so that you can feel the original flavor. All pastries and snacks are handmade and freshly baked that day because morning tea takes longer than usual. Sweet but not greasy sesame balls with bean paste, seductive emerald steamed wheat made with wild vegetable fillings, steamed dumplings filled with soup with juice, crisp and refreshing shredded radish oil ends, fragrant glutinous rice rice, different flavors of dried silk, and there are real crab yellow soup dumplings that can give a ceremonial feel. These famous snacks are all worth a try. However, do you know the real secret to eating crab roe soup dumplings? One is to gently lift, move slowly, open the window first and then drink the soup; the other is angle (biting the skin with your mouth down), speed (sucking), and temperature (hot). In addition, the last pasta is the "finale" in Yangtai Salt Morning Tea. So a bowl of shrimp seed Yangchun noodles will definitely satisfy your taste buds.

Take the opportunity to popularize science--

Textbook-style Huaiyang flavor-Yangzhou Banquet, banquet guests from all directions

Zhu Ziqing, a famous celebrity born and raised in Yangzhou, said that Yangzhou is a place to eat well. Whether it goes from state banquets to the countryside, or overseas countries. The exquisiteness and delicacy of Huaiyang cuisine is always surprising. If Quyuan Tea House has Yangzhou morning tea that has to be eaten, then Yangzhou Banquet is Huaiyang cuisine that has to be eaten. It has a textbook-like Huaiyang flavor that has been judged by the majority of diners. It is a flagship brand that Yangzhou Catering blindly strives to create and admire.

The food judge said: The restaurant integrates its Yangzhou culture into every inch of the restaurant. The decoration is simple, simple but elegant. The team led by celebrity chef Chen Wanqing interprets the flavor of Huaiyang like a textbook. Whether it is snacks or dishes, it is very worth recommending. In the corridor of the restaurant building, you can see photos of celebrities in the restaurant. For example, Nicholas Tse and his program production team came here to shoot "Twelve Tastes", or foreign dignitaries came here to taste the "delicacies". All of them highlight their superb cooking skills and delicious dishes.

Not to mention food, Wensi tofu, boiled dried shredded silk, lion's head, river white fish in scallion oil, Sichuan-fragrant fresh kidney flower, braised soybean ankles, etc. are all delicious.

In the place where the emperor visited the south, reminisce about 1757--Food Street Snacks
The Food Street is located in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area and mainly serves tourists; it collects Yangzhou specialty snacks and snacks from all over the country. Then why is it called 1757? It turned out that Qianlong toured Jiangnan in the south during this year. At this time, local salt merchants built Wuting Bridge in Slender West Lake to express their respect and love. Recently,"Extreme Challenge" was also recorded and filmed here. In the antique neighborhood, the environment is clean and the aroma is tempting. All kinds of snacks and tourist specialties are sold. It is mainly characterized by Sun Tzu Ling tou crisp, rice cake and other characteristics. The price is moderate, whatever you choose. In addition, there are Wanyuan Catering and Qingyunxuan Food Plaza in the scenic area.
The food street restaurant is divided into indoor and outdoor dining; the number of meals can accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time. Sit and watch Fuyuan's thousands of years of beauty and beauty, and slowly enjoy Guangling Yang-style morning tea
The Xie Fuchun Tourist Scenic Area located on Dongguan Street in Geyuan Scenic Area is divided into three parts: the "Preface Hall" Fandai Building "and the" Xie Fuchun Hall ", including the Peony Hall, Tianxiang Building, the Production Demonstration Area, Xie's Old House and Xiangfen Shop. Fuyuan embodies the characteristics of Yangzhou's classical architecture. The solemn and mysterious "Fandai Building" is located on the second floor. The "Yangzhou Twelve Fandai" Xie Fuchun Hall, which displays different forms and spirits, focuses on displaying entrepreneurial housekeepers such as Dai and Chen.

Tips:
Address: No. 243 Dongguan Street, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province
Opening hours: 7:15-21:30
Experience time: About 1 hour is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake-the right route to go boating on the lake, and retake the emperor's southern patrol road under Jiangnan
Boating on the lake, you can't even enjoy the lakes and mountains, you can't finish listening to the piano, flute and oriole songs, and you can't be beautiful enough to see people dressed in fragrant clothes. The ten-mile lake is clear and green; the flowers and trees are sparse and continuous; the pavilions and towers are scattered; the cultural landscape is unique. The emperor made several rounds to the south, which must be unique. Nowadays, here, you can choose different forms of water tools such as painted boats, bamboo rafts, and electric cruise ships to stay in the painting.
The scenic area also provides guided tours with boats, one scene at a time. It allows people to touch the scene and understand history. For ordinary tourists, the best sightseeing route must be a one-way cruise ship and a return road trip. Only by combining dynamic and static and different angles can we feel different beauty. Xuyuan-originally the former site of "Taohuawu", was built in 1915
Xu Garden was built on the former site of the original "Peach Flower Wu" in 1915. It is a temple garden built in memory of warlord Xu Baoshan. The gate of the garden is like a full moon looking at the sun. The word "Xu Yuan" is written on the top of the gate. It has a unique flavor and was written by Ji Lianggong. The main hall in Xu Garden is the "Listening Oriole Hall". There is a nanmu pavilion in the hall made of fine nanmu and carefully carved from fine nanmu, which is extremely delicate.
There is a lotus pond built by Huangshi in the garden. There is a winding water outside and a pond inside. The pool water is connected to the lake water. Across the pool is the pavilion, which is called the Tingoriole Pavilion after Du Fu's meaning of "two orioles sing the green willows, and a line of egrets climbing the blue sky." The entire courtyard is neat and changeable. Bypass Xuyuan and stand on the Xiaohong Bridge. The small gold mountain stands tall and the lake suddenly opens. Xuyuan is not large in scale, covering an area of 0.6 hectares.
However, the structure is decent, and the courtyard is in a timely and orderly manner. There are scenery such as Tingli Hall, Chuncao Pond Yinting Pavilion, Shufeng Hall, etc. It combines exquisite architectural structure and superb carving art, fully embodying the wisdom and talents of the ancient Chinese working people. Two pieces of iron wok are displayed in front of the Tingli Hall. It is said that they were used to control water during the Xiao Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. There is also an inscription on "The Story of Iron Wok". It is said that they are relics of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties and have a history of more than 1,400 years. Xiaojinshan-the best place to view Slender West Lake
Xiaojinshan is the largest island in Slender West Lake and the place with the densest buildings on the lake. The wind pavilion, the blowing stage, the piano room, the wooden clover bookstore, the chess room, and the moon view are all concentrated here.
Xiaojinshan is one of the twenty-four scenic spots on Slender West Lake in Yangzhou. It is a small island in Slender West Lake. It was formerly known as Changchun Ridge and was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, in order to open up the water passage from Slender West Lake to Daming Temple, the Yangzhou gentry dug the Lianhuaneng New River northwest of Slender West Lake. The mound of soil dug from the river turned into a hill. This is today's Xiaojinshan. Xiaojin Mountain is surrounded by water. The water turns with the mountains, and the mountains are alive because of the water.

Qianlong Diaoyutai-An exquisite work of garden frame scenery

Diaoyutai is located in the center of Slender West Lake. It cleverly uses the "framing" technique and has become a classic work of the "framing" art of Chinese gardens.

There is a embankment at the foot of the west mountain of Xiaojin that leads into the lake. At the end of the embankment is a pavilion called "Chuitai". Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong once fished fish here, hence the name is Diaoyutai. The Diaoyutai faces the water on three sides, each with a round door and a hole. Looking from the front and right side of the Diaoyutai Islands, the round hole in the center just contains the scene of "Wuting Bridge", and the round hole on the left just contains the scene of "White Tower". They are like two unique pictures. The skillful borrowing technique is admirable.

In addition, you can also see the white pagoda-the white pagoda is white, also known as the White Pagoda of Guanyin Temple. The plane of the tower is octagonal and consists of a tall waist Sumi seat, an octagonal pavilion body with double eaves, a huge wave blocking and a thirteen-day phase wheel at the top. A total height of 306 meters and a masonry structure. The white tower is 27.5 meters high. The imitation wood bricks on the upper part of the tower base are carved with a shumi seat, and the lower part is built with granite stone strips. The waist is surrounded by the Meru Tower seat. It has eight sides and four corners, with three niches on each side. The niches are carved with twelve zodiac statues. Different from the thickness and firmness of the Beihai White Tower, the white tower is proportioned. Wuting Bridge-the most beautiful bridge in China and a good place to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival

Slender West Lake "Tour" Ceremony-Cultural and Tourism Souvenirs that will make you dizzying

Located on the opposite side of the Diaoyutai River, the Slender West Lake Tourism Store brings together eight categories of cultural tourism products, including home furnishing, clothing, study room, children's interests, digital, calligraphy and painting, and miscellaneous items. There are many categories and styles, which are extremely rare among the 5A scenic spots in surrounding cities. More importantly, they are not only commemorative, but also of daily use value.

Within the scope of Slender West Lake Scenic Area, in addition to this one, there are also shops such as Garden Hall, Qianlong Hall, Fangting Post Office, 24th Bridge Bookshop, Wangchun Tower, etc. You can choose at will. However, I am still particularly interested in Yangzhou lacquerware, Yangzhou embroidery, rouge powder, and handicrafts. Exquisite and compact, incorporating intangible cultural heritage skills. On the bright moon night at the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade man teach to play flute?
The twenty-fourth bridge comes from the poem of Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty,"The green mountains are faintly distant and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet withered at the end of autumn; the twenty-fourth bridge is full of bright moon and night, where can the jade man teach to play the flute?" The 24th Bridge consists of a combination of a Sail Plank Road, a single-hole arch bridge, a nine-curved bridge and a Blow-blowing Pavilion. The jade belt-shaped arch bridge in the middle is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. There are 24 steps on the upper and lower sides of the bridge, surrounded by 24 white jade railings and 24 railings. It is a masterpiece of ancient bridge architecture. But does it mean one bridge or twenty-four bridges? There are different accounts. Jingxiang Bookstore-a garden that has won international awards
Jingxiang Bookstore is located to the west of the Hairpin Pavilion in the Wanyuan Garden Scenic Area of Slender West Lake. Jingxiang Bookstore was rebuilt in 1992. The bookstore faces north and south. It is a three-room blue brick house, typical of the Qing Dynasty architectural style. "Jingxiang Bookstore" is Jin Nong's lacquer book. As the first of the eight strange creatures in Yangzhou, Jin Nong is proficient in everything in poetry, writing, calligraphy and painting. Jin Nong is good at painting plum blossoms."Having plum blossoms without snow is not spiritual, having snow without plum blossoms makes people vulgar." It is surrounded by white ridges and white walls. The painted boat is half a boat and the pavilion is half a pavilion. There are only half of the beauty seats at the entrance of the moon, breaking the symmetry and regularity of the old garden and making it look light and lively. The couplets on both sides of the main entrance were inscribed by Zheng Banqiao, another famous figure of the Eight Eccentrics: "Flying in the tower halfway through the sky, amidst the bamboo trees in the study room." In the study room, there are wood carvings of pine forest plum trees, table screens and vases on the table, four treasures of the study are placed on the desk, thread-bound ancient books are placed on the multi-treasure rack, and a game of Go is placed on the round table, making people stop and play carefully, with endless aftertaste.
In 1993, the "Qingyin Garden", designed based on the Jingxiang Bookstore, participated in the "Chinese Garden" exhibition of the Stuttgart Expo in Germany. For its distinctive national characteristics and unique construction concepts, it won the "Golden Cup Award" and was permanently preserved in Germany. Yangpai Bonsai Museum--One of the five major schools of bonsai in China
Yangpai bonsai is one of China's excellent traditional arts and one of the five major schools of Chinese bonsai. It started in the Tang Dynasty and was named after Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Its three-bend production skills of one inch (3.3.cm per inch) are unique in the world. The Yangpai Bonsai Museum, located in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, houses many excellent works of Yangpai bonsai; the exhibition hall is divided into indoor and outdoor. During their walks, tourists can feel the different beauty of Yangzhou Garden City.
Bonsai of the Yang School had been made in the Tang and Song Dynasties. By the Qing Dynasty, Yangzhou built gardens and developed bonsai. There was a saying that "every family has a garden, and every household raises bonsai" and formed a genre. The Yang School is superb, especially the pine, cypress, elm and poplar trees (melon seeds and yellow flowers) that are unique. They have local characteristics and Chinese cultural charm that are well-defined, neat and stable, and are rich in fine brushwork and beautiful decoration. They are well-known at home and abroad.
Geyuan, one of the four famous parks in China
In 2005, Geyuan was praised as a national AAAA tourist attraction and one of the 20 key parks in the country. Geyuan is famous for its stacked stone art. The rockery of bamboo shoots, lake stones, yellowstone, and suitable stones in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter integrates the rules of gardening with the principles of landscape painting. It has been praised by Mr. Chen Congzhou, the master of the garden, as an "isolated case in China."
This private garden of Yangzhou salt merchants 'residence in the Qing Dynasty is famous for its planting of green bamboos and its rockery in the spring, summer, autumn and winter. It was built into a residential garden by Huang Zhiyun, the chief salt merchant of Lianghuai River, in the 23rd year of Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1818) on the basis of the original Ming Dynasty "Shouzhi Garden". There are mainly scenic spots such as Baoshan Tower, Qingyi Pavilion, Shuizuan Tower, Zhuqiu Pavilion, Yiyuxuan, and Miju Corridor. The biggest feature of the garden is the concept and construction of "Four Seasons Rockery."
