The day and night of Slender West Lake hold the Yangzhou I yearn for in my heart

Ten years ago, I was unaware of the beauty of Yangzhou and naively thought the ticket for Slender West Lake was too expensive, so I just passed it by. Ten years later, revisiting this place, I toured Slender West Lake twice in one day, becoming utterly captivated and reluctant to leave! 🌞Day Tour🌞 🚶Route: South Gate👉Changdi Chunliu👉Xu Garden👉Xiao Jinshan👉Diaoyutai👉Wuting Bridge👉Twenty-Four Bridge👉Xichun Terrace👉White Pagoda👉Amusement Park👉South Gate 🌸Suggested Tour Time: 3-4 hours 🚌Tour Methods: Electric boat/Battery car/Walking 📸Best Photo Spots: Diaoyutai, Wuting Bridge, Twenty-Four Bridge, Xichun Terrace, White Pagoda 💡Highlights: 📢The water source of Slender West Lake comes from the Grand Canal of Beijing-Hangzhou, formed by the water systems of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the moats from the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, reaching its current scale during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong era. 📢Slender West Lake is named for its narrow and long water system, and is famous worldwide for lines such as 'Three parts of the world's bright moonlit nights, two parts belong to Yangzhou' and 'Twenty-Four Bridge on a bright moonlit night, where is the fair lady teaching flute playing'. 📢During the day tour of Slender West Lake, you can choose a half-way battery car or electric boat, combined with a half-way walk. Of course, if you have enough stamina, walking the whole way is also a good choice~ 📢There are many beautiful photo spots in Slender West Lake, where you can capture picturesque scenery at Diaoyutai, and several platforms close to the water are perfect spots for photographing Wuting Bridge. 📢Since my car was parked at the South Gate, this time I only visited the southern and central beauty of Slender West Lake, but it included most of the famous attractions. You can also choose a tour route that enters from the South Gate and exits from the North Gate. 🌙Night Tour🌙 🚶Route: South Gate👉Ye Lin👉Chunbo Bridge👉Xu Garden👉Xiao Jinshan👉Shuiyun Shenggai👉Wuting Bridge👉White Pagoda👉Linglong Flower Realm👉Xichun Terrace👉South Gate 🌸Suggested Tour Time: 2 hours 🚶Tour Method: Walking 💡Highlights: 📢The night tour of Slender West Lake is themed around Tang poetry, with famous verses embellishing various photo spots. 📢The night tour route is officially planned, and performances are in a loop, so it's recommended to enter the park around 7 pm to tour everything in one go. 📢Near Shuiyun Shenggai, you can watch the light show of Wuting Bridge, and after the light show, there's a performance of Zhang Ruoxu's 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'. 📢After many performances, there are interactive sessions for reciting poems, and if you answer the verses correctly, you can receive a small gift~ 📢The night tour provides wristbands, and if you only bought a day ticket without a wristband, you'll need to pay an additional fee when leaving. 📢It's recommended to buy the day and night combo ticket in advance, as it's the most cost-effective! 📌Address: No. 405 Yangzi Jiang Road, Hanjiang District 💰Ticket Price: Day ticket 95 Yuan, Night ticket 110 Yuan, Day and Night combo ticket 158 Yuan 🕒Opening Hours: Daytime 6:00-19:30, Nighttime 19:00-21:30 🌸Recommended Tour Time: 3-4 hours
