Everyone says that Yangzhou is beautiful in the fireworks of March
But the city of Yangzhou in winter also has its unique charm, with fewer people and a comfortable atmosphere
Sure enough: three or two branches of bamboo peach blossoms Spring River warm duck prophet. Changdi Spring Liu along the way ducks and geese are flocked, leisurely and comfortable, and there is joy between the feathers and scales. Wuting Bridge is beautiful and creative, really blowing the willow wind, the clouds are light and the wind is light. The 24th Bridge lacks a jade person to teach to blow. It’s so difficult to get three scenes from the Diaoyutai frame. There are many people in the off-season. In the afternoon, there are few people and the light is wrong. Let Xichuntai wish the elderly a birthday, and life is endless!
Came on April 24, 2024. Slender West Lake is the most well-known scenic spot in Yangzhou. There is no need to describe how beautiful there is. I want to share some sightseeing experiences for your reference. 1. Don't miss the Li Bai statue outside the south gate. The poem fairy's sentence "fireworks in March down Yangzhou" brought Yangzhou to the fire for thousands of years, and not far from the south gate of the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, there is a statue of Li Bai to sing poetry, especially suitable for taking pictures and punching in. The specific location of the statue is near Yechun (Dahongqiao Road Store), and a small bridge is the south gate of the scenic spot. 2. After entering the south gate, you can consider taking a cruise. The Slender West Lake Scenic Area is very large, and all tours are very physical. Fortunately, there is a cruise ship as soon as you enter the south gate. The end of this cruise ship is at Xichuntai by the 24th bridge. It is almost the center of the entire scenic spot. It is close in all directions, and the scenery along the way from the south gate to Xichuntai is very good. You can see it first. It is time and physical strength to visit again. 3. Lianzhu Bridge (Wuting Bridge) The best shooting spots are in Xinzhuang and Diaoyutai. There is no doubt that Lianzhu Bridge is the most representative attraction of the Slender West Lake. The scale of the entire bridge is very large, so there are many tourists, and it is difficult to take ideal tourists photos. After real testing, we found two places, one is on the pile of stones near the Lianzhu Bridge in the northwest corner of Xinzhuang. The place where you can stand here is relatively small. Everyone should pay attention to safety. Diaoyutai can take the effect of "group fan painting" with the perspective of the door hole, and many strategies have also been introduced. 4. Don't miss the luxury self-driving boat. The luxury self-driving boat is on both sides of the bank near the village. The water surface allowed by self-driving boats in the scenic area is very large. You can visit many major attractions from the waterway. More importantly, you can take many unique and clean photos from many angles on the water. And don't worry about other tourists around you. By boat can also be used as a means of rest, two strokes at a time. The cost is 200 yuan/hour + deposit of 400 yuan, and renting an hour is basically enough. Finally, summarize the tour road I recommend: Li Bai Statue (Dahongqiao Road) - enter from the south gate, take the boat - take the boat to visit the scenery along the way (including: Changdi Chunliu, Xuyuan, Xiaojinshan, Lianzhu Bridge, Baita, Linglong Flower World, etc.), go to Xichuntai to visit the northern attractions of the scenic spot (including: North District Beilang, Jingxiang Bookstore, Xiao Li General Painting Book, Wangchun Building, Baita Qingyun, Wanhuayuan) Return to the village, take the photo of the Lianzhu Bridge tourists take the luxury self-driving boat to rest + take exclusive photo of the tourists go ashore to visit the southern attractions, you can take the photo of the Lianzhu Bridge tourists leave from the south gate Open.
It’s so beautiful. I feel the novelty of Emperor Qianlong enjoying the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in the boat. Although it’s not such a big scenic spot, it’s very beautiful. We must take a boat. We parked to the underground parking lot of the Slender West Lake yard. Opposite the gate, I went in and strolled in a few steps. I saw many night tours. Eyelids, try it next time you go to the night tour
Fireworks in March to Yangzhou is true, all people are not fake... After more than ten years, the Slender West Lake is still beautiful, people linger~📌 You must take a boat to Yangzhou, the scenery is so beautiful! From the Royal Wharf, choose the line on the right of the picture three to go directly to Xuyuan in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area. The boat journey is about 40 minutes, and it will be full (6 people/boat, business hours : 8:00-17:00). Because it is directly to the scenic area, you must buy tickets for Slender West Lake! (Buying tickets one day in advance online can be 5 yuan cheaper, there is no discount on the day) 📌 Way to the bonsai garden, free tickets! If you are interested, you can take a look (not in the Slender West Lake scenic spot). 📌 There is free mineral water on the boat. 📌 Electric boats can be rented in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, 200/hour (5 people can sit)...One person is too uneconomical, or forget it~📌 Wenchuang Ice Cream (Figure 1), milk taste, as long as 18! Cheaper than Jinshan Temple and Chengdu Panda Base, and delicious! 📌 Picture 10, Picture 11 are 24 bridges, and they are also iconic attractions of Slender West Lake! Picture 11, the second floor, feels that you should be able to see the panoramic view of Slender West Lake, but it is transformed into a tea house, 80/person. You can't go upstairs without tea...📌 Picture 12 is the Yangpai bonsai museum, which is full of long bonsai (green plants), there is a special person to take care of, no flowers...📌 I came to the Slender West Lake 3 times (2 times are fireworks March (including this time), 1 big winter, quite bleak), The first time I insisted on entering and leaving from the south gate (the Slender West Lake is headed north and south, and most of the attractions are close to the south gate), there are still surprises! For example, the dining English villa, such as the water system miniature landscape garden, there are many sets of flowers~📌 Qionghua (Figure 5, Figure 6) has been a little thankful, it will be better sooner! 📌 There are some pits in the scenic sightseeing car. It is 20 people when you go up, not just sitting on the same day.
It is worth going, picturesque, pavilions, bridges, water net lake islands, and ancient and modern celebrity legends, the story of the Qianlong emperor, is a comprehensive tourist attraction integrating beautiful scenery and human landscape. There is also the Slender West Lake is not a big lake like Hangzhou West Lake, but a large wetland landscape composed of river water networks, the lake is actually not big.
Yangzhou in March of fireworks, there are really many people. I deliberately rushed to go after the Qingming holiday. One is to think that some tourists can be digested during the Qingming holiday, and the other is to catch up with the best lunar March. I didn't expect the heat to still be high. I like this city very much, and I have to go again in the off-season.
April's Slender West Lake is beautiful, like a wonderful-age woman swimming, it is like experiencing a lot of life routes, you can't choose one by one, like boldly walk past, we regret not missing but not enjoying the current choice
