At 13:20 pm on June 22, we took the train to Yangzhou, arrived in Yangzhou 50 minutes later, and took the No. 9 bus to the Grand Canal Museum without stopping. I'll just say something here, Yangzhou buses need to be recharged in advance before they can ride. This time, I got my Yangzhou electronic bus card in advance on ZFB and charged it with 10 yuan. I will get a discount every time I take the bus later. I also refunded 2.85 yuan when I finally refunded the card in two days.

The Grand Canal Museum requires an appointment. Tickets are usually okay, but tickets on Saturdays and Sundays need to be obtained in advance. Tickets are very tight, so it is best to grab tickets one week in advance when they first start releasing tickets.

The Grand Canal Museum has a total of 4 floors of exhibition halls and more than 10 exhibition halls. Individual exhibition halls need to pay. We started from the first floor and walked down one exhibition hall after another. It took two hours to basically finish the tour.

The museum's exhibition layout is relatively novel, especially Exhibition Hall 3, which has moved the cultural and creative store in. Because the layout is clever and novel, it makes the audience feel as if they are truly in an ancient market.

There are many Internet celebrity check-in points here, and many places do work.

We booked our accommodation near the west gate of Slender West Lake. After eating Yangzhou old goose, lion head, etc. at Ajie snacks in the evening, we set off for Slender West Lake at about 6:30.

Tickets for the night tour of Slender West Lake are purchased online for 138 yuan for two people. Preferential documents are not needed. Each person will be issued a card when entering the door. They need to be checked when leaving the door to avoid people entering during the day and leaving it until night before coming out.

Because we have been here before, we specially chose a night trip this time to enjoy different scenery.

After entering from the west gate, follow the trail all the way to the White Pagoda. It was built by Yangzhou salt merchants to please Emperor Qianlong. It looked like the White Pagoda in Beihai, Beijing. At that time, many wealthy merchants in Yangzhou tried their best to build gardens, hoping to win the Emperor Qianlong. Joy.

The white tower at night, without exaggerated lighting, looked a little dim and uncomfortable.

Wuting Bridge, not far from the White Tower, is a landmark attraction of Slender West Lake and recognized as the most beautiful bridge in China. The Wuting Bridge at night has beautiful lights, as if it is heaven and earth. This Wuting Bridge was also designed and built by the Yangzhou Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy in the Qing Dynasty, who hired skilled craftsmen to welcome Qianlong's southern tour. There are 15 bridge holes in Wuting Bridge. It is said that on the night of the full moon on the 15th, each hole has a month. The 15 full moons hang upside down in the water, competing to shine, which is unique.

The music fountains near Xichun Terrace and the 24th Bridge are very shocking and unforgettable.

There are many live-action performances during the night tour, which generally introduce the historical origins of Yangzhou. However, for ordinary tourists, it is just a show of excitement and feels a little useless.

Morning tea is a must-have when you come to Yangzhou. There are many famous morning tea shops in Yangzhou, but the most famous one is Quyuan Tea House, which is the only black pearl diamond in Yangzhou.

There is a queue here every day, with 150 numbers in the morning. By the time we arrived at about 7 o'clock, there were already number 69, and there were about 30 numbers in front of us to wait. Fortunately, the tea house is in a park-like environment. The tea house also arranged for staff to play guzheng. After waiting for about an hour, a special person came to lead us to the restaurant.

We bought a 158 yuan coupon for two people online. There are three Ding Bao, emerald steamed wheat, thousand-layer oil cake, crab yellow soup dumplings, shrimp seed Yangchun noodles, shrimp seed wonton, white fungus lotus root flour, Sixi platter and other varieties, which are more cost-effective.

After having morning tea, walk to Songjiacheng Ruins Park. This is a free scenic spot and it is very empty. We walked from the south gate to the north gate, and then out of the scenic spot from the west gate. There are many lotus flowers along the way from the North Gate to the West Gate. We photographed along the wooden plank road, which was very comfortable.

Then we walked to Guanyin Mountain, where Guanyin Temple is also a free place. The inside is not big, it feels like a dojo in a snail shell. The yellow wall inside is more visible. Guanyin Mountain is the representative of Shansi. It is located on the highest eastern peak of Shugang and is the natural commanding height of Yangzhou. The Buddha statues in Guanyinshan Temple are different from ordinary temples, where "Sakyamuni" is the main statue and "Bodhisattva" is the main Buddha statue. Among them, Guanyin Bodhisattva is prominent and has a benevolent face.

After coming out of Guanyin Temple, we drove back to the hotel, checked out after taking a break at noon, and then went to Siwang Pavilion and Wenchang Pavilion. Siwang Pavilion was originally named "Wenkui Tower" and later named "Kuixing Pavilion." It was originally an auxiliary building for county Confucianism and an integral part of Jiangdu County Studies.

Wenchang Pavilion is only a few hundred meters away from Siwang Pavilion. It was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. It was named "Wenchang Pavilion" because it was the Kuixing Tower of Yangzhou Prefectural School. The shape is similar to the Hall of Prayer for Good Years at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.

After returning from Wenchang Pavilion, we walked along Caiyi Street towards Dongguan Street. Not long after traveling west along Dongguan Street, you will see a gate tower from afar. This is the gate of Yipu. This Yipu was the last private garden in Yangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty. Today, tickets were free, so we stopped in for a visit. The garden is small and unique, and the intentions of the builders can be seen everywhere. It can be said to be a masterpiece in the garden.

When you come to Yangzhou, you must taste the Yangda yogurt of Internet celebrities. In addition, you must also go to join in the fun.

We ordered wine dumplings, glutinous rice lotus roots, lotus roots, boiled dried shredded silk, etc., and spent a total of 51 yuan. It was really cheap and affordable.

Dongguan Street is the most representative old historical street in Yangzhou City and has been successfully selected as one of the "Top Ten Famous Historical and Cultural Streets in China." At the gate of Dongguan Street, there is a sculpture of the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo. During the Yuan Dynasty in China, Marco Polo followed his father and uncle to China. In 1275, he arrived in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and established a friendship with the Khan Kublai Khan. He traveled in China for 17 years, visited many ancient cities in China at that time, and served as an official in Yangzhou for three years. After returning to China, he published a book "The Travels of Marco Polo", which recorded his experiences and experiences in China, aroused Europeans 'enthusiastic yearning for the East and had a huge impact on future generations.

After coming out of Dongguan Street, we took a bus to Yangzhou Railway Station and took the train back to Nanjing.
