Zaocha, or early breakfast tea, is something of an old institution in Yangzhou. It is an early-morning meal where delicious small treats are served with a variety of tea. Tofu slices, steamed buns, noodles are a must for Yangzhou breakfast. Many good restaurants and street stalls are in the area of Dongguan street in the old district of Yangzhou. 🍵🍜🥟🥣 If you're a long sleeper, it's really hard to find restaurants that serve Yangzhou breakfast after 10am, so you have to get up early!

Dongguan Street, an important thoroughfare of Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), is 1,122 meters long. Originally paved with long stone flags, this street has been an arterial road traversing Yangzhou from west to east since the Tang Dynasty (AD618-907). The Dongguan Street, Dongquan Gate and vicinity constitute the Shuangdong Historical Block, which has typical Yangzhou characteristics and occupies an area of 83 hectares. With a population of over 10,000 and more than 20 important historic relics, it has recently been listed among the key historic streets under State-level preservation.

Why visit Yangzhou? A single line 'In the fireworks-filled March, I went down to Yangzhou' explains it all, sparking everyone's longing for the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. But, is March the best time to visit Yangzhou? Actually, it's not. The 'March' referred to by the ancients is the lunar March, which corresponds to April in the Gregorian calendar! April is indeed the best time to visit Yangzhou. What many people don't know is that there is a flower that mainly blooms in Yangzhou, the Qiong flower, which blossoms in April. In April, the sunshine in Yangzhou is just right, the breeze is gentle, making it the best season for sightseeing. Whether it's the blooming Slender West Lake, the lush Ge Garden, or the bustling Dongguan Street, all will offer you the best experience. If you haven't been to Yangzhou yet, then set off in April.

Yizhou Garden. I am even more fond of this small garden next to the Ge Garden. It is adjacent to Ge Garden, sharing the bustling Dongguan Street, yet it seeks quietness within the noise, being small and exquisite, and appears reserved and elegantly simple. Of course, there are not many visitors here, so it is naturally quiet. Compared to Ge Garden, it is smaller in size and elongated in shape. Therefore, the rockery built along the courtyard wall and the half pavilion at the end are also adapted to the local conditions, but I prefer such lightly embellished rockeries and buildings among the mountains. The overly tall and complex stacked rocks forming mountains, which require constant climbing and tunneling, are not to my liking. I also love the back garden. The back garden is very small, but the lake rocks, flowers, plants, trees, and the surrounding buildings, including the Reading Tower, are all very exquisite and cleverly arranged. Yizhou Garden and Ge Garden, two gardens next to each other, have very different appearances. Besides the difference in the financial resources of the two owners, it also makes one think of some differences in the lifestyle and attitude towards life of their owners.

Dongguan Historical and Cultural Tourism Area: It is one of the four major historical and cultural districts of the ancient city of Yangzhou during the Ming and Qing dynasties, located in the northeast of the old city, starting from the ancient canal in the east, to Guoqing Road in the west, and to Yanfu Road in the north.
