Yangchun March fireworks are like the sea, and the wind and moon are boundless in praise of spring and autumn
It's spring and March again, and it's another year of grass warblers flying
Pick a sunny day
Go, go to Yangzhou ah~
Bordered by the mighty Yangtze River in the south and the quiet Grand Canal in the east, it has always been a place with beautiful scenery and a city of broad and profound humanities.
Yangzhou during the Tang and Song dynasties was the most prosperous place in Jiangnan and the most luxurious place. The ancients said that "the waist is wrapped around 100,000 yuan, riding a crane down to Yangzhou", which shows that if you have money, you must go to Yangzhou.
Buy a 37.5 yuan moving ticket and get from Nanjing to Yangzhou in 50 minutes. Or maybe you don't take the usual road and have enough time to experience the longest bus in history. From Nanjing, you took more than 100 bus stops to Yangzhou. Of course, the whole journey is 10 yuan, and the package you are worth the fare.
Have you decided on a way to get around? Then we, say! walk! only! walk!
| Slender West Lake |
☟
Come to Yangzhou, how can you not get to Slender West Lake?
Wang Xun of the Qing Dynasty has a poem: "Weeping Yang constantly picks up the remnants, and the goose tooth Hongqiao draws pictures." It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake. "Slender WestLake got its name from it.
(pic: Mountain peaks do not write travelogues)
The West Lake in Yangzhou is a little more thin than the West Lake in Hangzhou. In the spring, the Slender West Lake, the willows on both sides of the river flutter, and the fragrance of flowers along the way, especially the Qiong flowers, is the symbol of Yangzhou.
The lake area uses the division of bridges, islands, embankments and shores to form a layered, tortuous landscape garden landscape with narrow lakes.
Everything in Ten Mile Yangzhou seems to be laid according to the blue waves of this slender West Lake.
| Dongguan Gudu |
The prosperity of Yangzhou City is probably seen in the annals of history during the Tang and Song dynasties, and most of the prosperity of this period came from the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road. Therefore, Yangzhou is an ancient city that flourishes because of water.
In the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou had the reputation of "the first commercial port in the southeast" and was known as the world's "Yang Yi Yi Yi Er". Dongguan Gudu was the most prosperous traffic point in Yangzhou at that time.
The busyness of commerce has given birth to the bustling ancient street - Dongguan Street. The quaint stone street and the hanging eaves of the flying pavilion must have witnessed the wind and rain of many years.
Dongguan Street must be the most representative of Yangzhou's historical old street, the street is bustling, the shops are lined up, the industry is complete, the business is prosperous, the oil rice line, the fresh fish line, the eight fresh rows, the melon and fruit line, the bamboo and wood line nearly a hundred.
Today's ancient ferry port no longer sees the scene of merchants gathering, but more is the leisure and entertainment of the people. People play and sing near the ancient ferry port, each talk is commonplace, and the idle people walk their dogs and play cards here, which is not comfortable.
| Twenty-Four Bridges |
"The green mountains are hidden by the water, and the grass in the south of the river has not withered in autumn."

The Twenty-Four Bridges are masterpieces of ancient Han bridge architecture. Single-hole arch bridge, White Jade railing, bridge length of 24 meters, width of 2.4 meters, 24 columns, 24 floors of the platform, everywhere corresponds to the "twenty-four".
Standing at the Twenty-Four Bridge, you can see the Xichun Terrace, covered with green glazed tiles, vermilion doors and windows, and the color is outstanding and quaint.
| Garden |
The salt merchants of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty began to create gardens, and many excellent classical gardens are still preserved, of which the oldest, most complete and most artistic value are the "Geyuan" located in the north corner of the ancient city.
The garden is won by bamboo stone, and even the word "one" in the name of the garden is also taken from the half of the bamboo character, which should meet the various colors of bamboo in the garden, and the owner's interest and mind are in it.
In addition, its name is also because every three bamboo leaves at the top of the bamboo can form a "one" word, and the shadow on the white wall is also a "one" word, which is a bit advanced.
I heard that the garden also cleverly conveys the concept of "cherishing spring" in traditional culture, which can remind people visiting the garden that although the spring scenery is good, it is short and fleeting. A visit to a garden can also understand the philosophy, a word, value.
