The Hidden Vibrancy of City Life: A Three-Day Leisurely Guide to Yangzhou Yangzhou is not meant for "checking in." This city, nourished by the Grand Canal for a thousand years, is best suited for waking up at dawn, treading on bluestone paths, and embarking on a journey of slow living. **Day One: A Dialogue Between Morning Tea and Gardens** Before dawn, the steam from dim sum baskets already wafts from Fuchun Teahouse. The savory aroma of Sanding Bao (Three-Ingredient Bun), the vibrant green of Feicui Shaomai (Jade Dumpling), the soft texture of Qianceng Yougao (Thousand-Layered Oil Cake), paired with a pot of Kuilongzhu Tea – this is the morning ritual Yangzhou locals have maintained for centuries. After tea, walk to Geyuan Garden to see how ancient people interpreted the philosophy of time with their four-season rockeries – spring's bamboo shoots breaking through the earth, summer's lake stones exquisitely translucent, autumn's yellow stones dyed with vibrant colors, and winter's Xuan stones still covered in lingering snow. It's recommended to sit for a while in the "Yiyu Pavilion" within the garden, to experience Zheng Banqiao's garden design philosophy: "When the moon comes, water fills the ground; when clouds rise, mountains fill the sky." **Day Two: A Symphony of Water and Ink Fragrance** Slender West Lake in the early morning possesses even more charm than during the day. Rent a sculling boat and depart from the Imperial Wharf, watching the reflection of the Five-Pavilion Bridge shatter into golden foil amidst the ripples, and listening to the boatwoman recount the legend of the Twenty-Four Bridges with her clear, melodious folk songs. In the afternoon, you can visit the Yangzhou Museum (Shuangbo Museum) next to Tianning Temple, which houses the most complete collection of ancient block printing in the country. It's highly recommended to observe the woodblocks of "Quan Tang Shi" (Complete Tang Poems); the characters on over nine thousand pear woodblocks still exude the fragrance of pine soot ink. **Day Three: Half a Day of Fleeting Life in the Alleys** The old bookstores on Pishi Street still retain the charm of the Republic of China era; the master craftsman at Biancheng Bookstore is using ancient book restoration techniques to bring damaged pages back to life. Turn into the deep alleys of Dongguan Street, and you might encounter inheritors of the "Three Knives of Yangzhou" – the gentle touch of the pedicurist's wrist, the chef's Wensi Tofu, and the barber's masterful razor skills, all living intangible cultural heritage. In the evening, you might want to spend some time at Zhongshuge Bookstore on Yuxian Street. This bookstore, built within an ancient residence, still holds legends of Ming and Qing dynasty merchant guilds within its beams and pillars. Tips: - Transportation: The old city is suitable for walking or shared electric bikes; for cross-district travel, you can take the special "Ancient City Sightseeing Line" bus. - Accommodation: Boutique guesthouses in the Nanhexia Historical District are recommended, such as Changle Inn. - Season: Avoid the plum rain season; the Qionghua flowers around Qingming Festival and ginkgo trees in late autumn are the most stunning. When the last ray of sunset falls upon the glazed tiles of Wenchang Pavilion, you will understand why Emperor Qianlong stopped here during all six of his southern tours. The beauty of Yangzhou lies not in its majestic mountains and rivers, but in the unhurried elegance found within the vibrancy of its urban life.

Yangzhou, Jiangsu Fireworks in March in Yangzhou, March refers to the third month of the lunar calendar. Fireworks refer to peach blossoms and willow catkins, which are the peach blossoms and green willows in the eyes of the poet. Yangzhou is a harmonious, ecological and livable city. The saying "skin wrapped in water in the morning and water wrapped in skin in the evening" refers to Yangzhou's morning tea culture and bathing culture. Among them, Quyuan Tea House (Changchun Road Branch) is the ceiling of Yangzhou morning tea. Thousand-layer oil cake, crab roe soup dumplings, crescent-shaped steamed dumplings, and a serving of blanched dried bean curd. Because these have meat fillings, it would be a bit greasy if you eat too much, so you will have another cup of tea. The belly is wrapped in water, which is called skin wrapped in water in the morning, and water wrapped in skin in the evening refers to foot massage and bathing. Slender West Lake is a national 5A-level scenic spot, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres, with more than 1,500 acres of waterways and a total length of 10 miles. The boat sails on the water and people swim in the painting. Slender West Lake is a water garden, very suitable for boat tours. There are ducks and swans inside, but no mandarin ducks. It is famous for its smallness, exquisiteness and beauty, with a magnificent view at every step. The earliest record of Slender West Lake appeared in the Book of Song during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was not formed in one era. Instead, it gradually developed as successive dynasties continued to dredge the county and govern it, and gardens were built on both sides of the river. It was once a moat, also known as Baozhuang River and Paoshan River. The name was changed to Slender West Lake because of a poem by Wang Hang (hang fourth tone) a poet from Qiantang, Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty: [Monkey][Monkey] Weeping willows continue to connect with the withered weeds, and the wild geese-toothed rainbow bridge looks like a picture. It is also the same as the other lakes, so it should be called Slender West Lake. Since ancient times, Yangzhou, like Hangzhou, has been a consumer city. No matter how much gold, silver and jewelry are brought in, they will all be melted and consumed. Hence the saying "With a fortune of one hundred thousand taels, he rides a crane to Yangzhou." [Doge][Doge]In ancient times, women were fat and thin, but nowadays thinness is considered beautiful. It is true that the West Lake is more beautiful when you are thin, and there are countless beautiful sights in the world. Taohuawu: Peach trees and willows are arranged in rows, with a peach tree every three steps and a willow tree every five steps. Peach trees, white flowers, redbud flowers, peach blossoms, tulips, crabapples, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Peach: tricolor flower, also grafted Viburnum: the white flower of Yangzhou Bauhinia: Hong Kong's City Flower The filming location of A Dream of Red Mansions, "You bury flowers today and people laugh at you for being foolish, but who will bury you next year?" - Song of Burying Flowers Spring Willows on the Long Dike: Willow is the city tree of Yangzhou. It sways gracefully in the breeze. The golden willows by the river are like brides in the sunset, and their beautiful shadows in the waves ripple in my heart. Chunbo Bridge: the filming location of Qiong Yao's TV series "Green Grass by the River" Xu Garden: A memorial hall for Xu Baoshan, the commander of the Second Army of the Xinhai Revolution. Xu Baoshan was from Dantu, Zhenjiang. In his early years, he sold illegal salt in the Jianghuai area. Later, he followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the Xinhai Revolution and then defected to Yuan Shikai. He benefited the people during his lifetime and died in 1913. The people raised funds for two years and built Xu Garden in 1915 to commemorate him. Although Xu Baoshan was a warrior, he liked to collect antiques and paintings. He was eventually assassinated by a vase bomb dropped by Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai. The two characters "Xu Yuan" have very different fonts. "Xu" is regular script while "Yuan" is cursive script. The character "Yuan" is like a tiger in a cage, implying that no matter how ferocious Xu Baoshan was, he was just a tiger in a cage. Xiaohongqiao: a touch of red amidst the greenery Xiaojin Mountain: The highest mountain in Yangzhou is only 28 meters high. It doesn’t matter how high a mountain is, as long as it has layers. The areas around Jiangsu and Zhejiang are basically gardens with no mountains. Xiaojin Mountain was artificially built using mud and rocks dug from the river. The monks from Yangzhou played chess and made a bet with the monks from Zhenjiang. Hangzhou has West Lake, Yangzhou has Slender West Lake; Zhenjiang has Jinshan, Yangzhou has Xiaojinshan Diaoyutai: When Emperor Qianlong arrived at Yangzhou's Slender West Lake and saw fish jumping out of the water, he decided to go fishing, which made the officials accompanying him very anxious. The emperor has his own rules for fishing: the fishing rod cannot be too small, he cannot catch small fish, and he cannot wait too long. So they sent sailors who were good at swimming to lurk at the bottom of the river, using lotus leaves to cover their heads and lotus stems to breathe. When the emperor cast his fishing hook, they would hang the red carp (also known as dragon fish) that had been prepared in advance on the hook. The emperor was very puzzled, why was it that every time he caught a dragon fish? The official replied: "How dare a fish approach the emperor? The long live golden hook is only for dragons." The emperor was very pleased and named the cooking platform Diaoyutai. Wuting Bridge: It is also called Lotus Bridge because it is built on the lotus stem. Every step brings a different scene. Every place is like a painting of Fuzhuang. One-third of the world is bright moonlight night, and two-thirds of the scoundrels are in Yangzhou. The most distinctive and artistically representative bridge is the Wuting Bridge. According to legend, the salt merchant bribed the emperor's entourage to draw a blueprint of the White Pagoda, and built a pagoda with salt bags overnight. The next day, fog rose and Qianlong saw a white pagoda in the distance. Later, for fear of being discovered, a fake white pagoda was built in 1784 (the 49th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty). The Yangzhou salt merchants were very wealthy, but they were not from Yangzhou. Most of them were from Anhui. Twenty-four Bridges at Slender West Lake: Du Mu's "Twenty-four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, Where Does the Jade Beauty Teach the Flute?" The Twenty-Four Bridges are like a curved bow, and the tower of Lingqi Temple is like a sword. The method of borrowing scenery from gardens is used to place the tower somewhere else (Lingqi Temple) in the area of ​​Slender West Lake. The Twenty-Four Bridges got its name because it has 24 steps and 24 railings on each side. In order to curry favor with Emperor Qianlong, the salt merchants of Yangzhou arranged beautiful women holding a musical instrument on each bridge. When Emperor Qianlong came to Yangzhou along the Grand Canal, he could hear the sound of the instruments played by the girls when he crossed the bridge by boat. One saying is that 24 is a general term, referring to the fact that Yangzhou has abundant water, many boats and many bridges. Another saying is that Emperor Yang of Sui gathered 24 beautiful ladies to play musical instruments and sing on the bridge.
