sequence
Yangzhou, a famous city of history and cultural tourism, is very famous. Going to Yangzhou is the wife's greatest wish, mainly because her grandmother is a Yangzhou native, and she has a quarter of Yangzhou blood.
Before leaving, I made enough strategies, consulted the detailed information about Yangzhou tourism, including living, eating, playing, etc., and planned the tourism route. In order to prevent the problem of tight accommodation tickets during the "May Day" festival, train tickets, accommodation and tourist attraction tickets have been booked online in advance.
Day 1
The late man said the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. At about 10:00 a.m. on April 29, 2021, our group of two people boarded a train to Yangzhou. Home is not far from Yangzhou, a two-hour drive. After arriving at Yangzhou Station, immediately call and rush to book a hotel.
The weather is clear, the wind is very strong, and the leaves and fine ash blowing on both sides of the street can not help but have bad ideas about yangzhou's fame.
Staying in the hotel is already two o'clock in the afternoon, after a simple rest, I went out to find a restaurant next to times square in front of the hotel, ordered leather bag water, Yangzhou fried rice, etc., to fill my stomach.
In the afternoon, we walked along Huaihai Road and Wenhui Street to Dongguan Street. Dongguan Street is the most representative historical street in Yangzhou City, with a relatively complete Ming and Qing Dynasty architectural complex and "fishbone-shaped" street and alley system, inheriting the traditional style characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Dongguan Street used to be not only a major waterway in Yangzhou, but also a center of commerce, handicrafts, religion and culture.
Dongguan Street is bustling and bustling, full of shops, tourists like shuttles, beautiful women and handsome men, men and women, young and old, just like the Muslim fang in Xi'an. Piped water, lotus flour dumplings, Huangqiao baked cakes, tangyuan, Sixi tangyuan, long fish (eel) noodles, notorious stinky tofu, horseshoe cake, brown candy, melon seed crisp and other snacks, there are also many traditional commercial long-established brands, such as Xie Fuchun, Sanhe Simei, Yangzhou "three" three
Put the knife" and so on.
With the flow of people, we were constantly pushed to look at the flowers, and we saw many former residences of celebrities on both sides of the street, such as Jiang Shangqing, Liu Wenqi Jinnong, Wang Boping, Zhu Ziqing, etc., as well as Jiang Zemin's former residence.
At the end of Dongguan Street is the Dongmen City Tower, the ruins of the Southern Song Dynasty's Great City East Gate City Tower.
In the evening, we ordered some Yangzhou specialties at a quite high-grade restaurant on Dongguan Street, which tasted as good as expected, but the price was very expensive. The guests at the next table quarreled with the store because of the peculiar smell of meat, and the store defended in every way that the meal was very unhappy.
At the beginning of the lantern, passing by Wenchang Pavilion. From a distance, Wenchang Pavilion looked very solemn. Wenchang Pavilion was built in the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1585). Now Wenchang Pavilion, the height of the pavilion is 24.25 meters, octagonal three-level brick and wood structure building. The ground floor of the pavilion has arches on all four sides, which connect with the street, and the second and third floors of the pavilion are surrounded by virtual windows. Climb the tower to look around, the street view near and far, panoramic view.
The next day
After eating early, we headed towards Slender West Lake. As soon as you enter the south gate of the scenic spot, tourists are weaving and full of green eyes. The turquoise lake is lined with several cruise ships, and the whole scene is like a slowly unfolding scroll.
The two banks of flowers and willows are all by the water, all the way to the mountain. Slender West Lake is a famous lake garden, enjoying the grandeur of gardens and the reputation of the world. It is characterized by "thin", with a winding lake path, a string of long causeway spring willows, Lotus Pu Kaoru Wind, Four Bridges Smoke and Rain, Xu Garden, Xiaojin mountain, Chuitai, Shuiyun Shengjiao, Wuting Bridge, White Pagoda Qingyun, Twenty-Four Bridge Scenic Area, Stone Wall Flowing Water, Spring Flow Painting Boat, Twenty-Four Bridge Scenic Area and other scenic spots.
There are many spring excursions organized by schools in the scenic area, and there are many primary school students, neatly lined up, which looks lively and cute.
Flowers are clustered, pines are stacked, and the air is fresh. We are very happy, how beautiful it should be to be able to raise here for a thousand years!
On a sunny day, the white tower on the shore is particularly tall. There is a white pagoda in the White Pagoda Temple, and this White Pagoda also has a story. Legend has it that Qianlong traveled south of the Slender West Lake, the boat went to the bank of the Wuting Bridge, Qianlong looked around, and then said to his entourage: "Here is much like the spring shade of Qiongdao Island in the North Sea of the capital, but it is a pity that there is a white pagoda." There were many big salt merchants in the entourage who were rich in the world at that time, and when they heard the emperor say this, in order to please the emperor, they spared no expense, drew a picture of the poem, and built a high tower with salt overnight. The next day, Qianlong opened the curtains and looked at it, thinking that there was a white tower falling from the sky, and he was very happy. After Qianlong left, Jiang Chun, the general manager of the two Huai salts, raised funds to build the Yangzhou White Pagoda imitating the Beijing Beihai White Pagoda. The shape of the tower is similar to that of the North Sea White Pagoda, and it is slightly slender.
Whenever the breeze and the moon are full, each hole is connected to each month. Golden ripples, the moons competing for glory, inexplicable.
If there is a pavilion on the bridge, it is a pavilion bridge. The bridge in front of us is called the Five Pavilions Bridge because of the five pavilions built on it. These five yellow glass spire wind pavilions, yellow tile pillars, with treasure roofs on them, and wind chimes on the outside, are typical of the style of the southern pavilions, and the five pavilions are connected by short corridors to form a complete roof, which can be used for people to shade the sun and rain, and increase the shape of the bridge. From a high place, the five beautiful pavilions, like lotus flowers coming out of the water, bloom on the surface of the dark green lake.
The world is three minutes of the moon and night, and the two rogues are Yangzhou. If you come here on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, take a boat through the bridge, 15 bridge holes, the cave can see the moon shadow, the moon in the water and the moon in the sky, reflecting each other, the reflection lingers, illuminating the yangzhou moon full of dry.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, we reluctantly left Slender West Lake and took a taxi to the next attraction, Daming Temple.
Daming Temple is located in Shugang Zhongfeng, northwest of Yangzhou City, and was founded during the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, master Jian Zhen presided over this temple and preached the scriptures and laws. Inside the temple, there is a nine-story Qiling Pagoda. The great poets Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, etc. have all appeared in the poems and passed them on as good stories. Step into the Great Treasure Hall, prostrate, worship the Buddha, make a wish, and bless. Afterwards, we toured the cultural relics inside the temple.
Walk out of the mountain gate, come to the side of the road under the mountain, and take a taxi to the He Garden scenic spot.
He Yuan is located in Xuningmen Street in Yangzhou City. The owner of the garden, He Zhiyun, whose family was three major families of in-laws who were in conflict with the Beiyang chancellor Li Hongzhang and the Guangxu Emperor's master Sun Jianai, was appointed from The Huangde Daotai of Hubei Province to the middle of his life, returned to Yangzhou, and built a large private residential garden in the ninth year of Guangxu. Among them, the twists and turns of the cloister, the artificial mountain wall, the torii garden tree, etc. are all lamentable, and have always been said to be "urban mountain forests", and are known as the "first garden of the late Qing Dynasty". While lamenting the magnificence of the garden architecture, I also lament the curse of no more than three generations of wealth, whose descendants are scattered all over the world.
At about 4 p.m., we took an electric tricycle to the dock of the ruins of the South Gate of the Ancient Canal. There were no tourists on the pier, just the two of us. While waiting for the cruise ship, rent a ticket booth charging treasure to charge your mobile phone.
Board the cruise ship, there are only 5 tourists on board. The water quality of the ancient canal is clear and there is no debris. We stood on the upper deck and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait.
On both sides of the canal, there are the famous Taoist Qionghua temple (Western Han Dynasty), the Buddhist Gaomin Temple (Sui Dynasty), the Islamic Puhaddin Cemetery (Song Dynasty) and the Catholic Church (Qing Dynasty) scattered around the world's four major religious activities. There are ruins reflecting the ancient port, water conservancy and city pool architecture of Yangzhou, ShuidouMen, Longshouguan (Banknote Pass), Dongguan Gudu (Double Urn City) and GuwanTou Gate. There are relics left by ancient emperors inspecting Yangzhou: Guazhou Ancient Du Jinchun Garden, Gaomin Temple Palace Royal Garden and Longyi Nunnery. There are Yangzhou salt merchant residential communities that embody the "Prince of Fubi", such as Geyuan and Wang's Xiaoyuan. There is the Wenfeng Pagoda, the starting place of the Great Monk Jian Zhen of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty when he crossed east to Japan.
The ancients left many poems, such as Li Bai's "The Late Man Xi ci Yellow Crane Tower, Fireworks in March under Yangzhou", Du Mu's "Spring Wind Ten Miles Yangzhou Road, Rolling Up the Bead Curtain Is Always Better" and so on.
The cruise ship to Benyimen Pier, the ancient canal tour is over.
Day 3
After eating early, we walked through the bustling crowds of Dongguan Street to a garden. The garden is the salt merchant mansion of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, named after the green bamboo planted everywhere, and the rockery in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. In the 23rd year of Qing Jiaqing (1818 AD), Huang Zhijun, the general manager of the two Huai salt merchants, expanded it into a residential garden on the site of The Ming Dynasty Shouzhi Garden.
During the Tongzhi period, the garden was sold to Li Wen'an, a salt merchant in Zhenjiang, and after the Li family took on official debts, the warlord Xu Baoshan forced the Li family to use the garden to pay off the debt. In 1913, Xu Baoshan was killed by the revolutionary party, and in 1926, the Li family gave up a garden, and then changed their owners several times, and once belonged to the Li family, the Zhu family, and so on.
The garden is famous for the art of stacking stones, bamboo shoots, lake stones, yellowstones, and yi stones stacked in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, which integrate the rules of gardening and landscape painting.
epilogue
The planned attractions have been toured, and the distant Yizheng City World Horticultural Exposition can't go again, so we have to go back home.
A trip to Yangzhou, walking the streets and alleys, visiting the beautiful scenery and tasting delicious food. When I was reluctant to give up, I found that Yangzhou was a city that wanted to come back after I left.
