The museum is very photogenic, you can spend a little more time there
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
He can watch a large garden, exquisite, Qianlong emperor has been here several times, just passed the May Day holiday, missed the peak tourist period, although did not see the fireworks in March down to Yangzhou, but it is better than people to see people.
Enter from the Slender West Hunan Gate, Xuyuan ~ Xiaojinshan ~ Diaoyutai ~ Qionghua ~ Wuting Bridge ~ Baita ~ Xichuntai ~ 24 Bridge ~ Meilin ~ Bonsai Garden, visit to the north gate, by the way you can visit Guanyin Mountain and Daming Temple.
Very good, worth going, I entered more than 4 pm, played for more than 2 hours, and it was too late to go to the north. The scenery is pleasant and the pictures are taken. There are black swans slow, and there is no chance to go there.
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
The Slender West Lake is very worth going. Li Bai's fireworks went to Yangzhou in March. We came to 😄 Although the early cherry has withered, the late cherry is very gorgeous. The environment is beautiful, clean and tidy, and the scenery is beautiful. Let people linger.
