Yangzhou 48-Hour Healing Itinerary | A Guide to Walking, Eating, and Avoiding Pitfalls

🚄 Transportation Tips: ▫️ Arriving at Yangzhou Station by high-speed rail at 8:30 PM, you'll be greeted by evening breezes carrying jasmine fragrance ~ this small Jiangnan city has air that feels as gentle as its soft dialect ▫️ City transportation relies entirely on DiDi (warning: no subway service‼️) 🦞 Late Night Food Temptations: Head straight to Zhou Guniang Budengwei! My goodness! The crayfish are each palm-sized, with 🦞 flesh so springy it dances on your tongue! The deep-fried glutinous rice balls with salted egg yolk are a must-order ✨ The crispy outside and chewy inside create an amazing sweet-salty explosion! (I'm salivating just writing this) 🏨 Accommodation Guide: Hampton by Hilton is 🉑️ but located far from attractions. Better to choose somewhere near Wenchang Pavilion for convenience (lesson learned the hard way: spent 50+ yuan extra on taxis daily 😭) 🌊 Grand Canal Museum Walking Guide: ✅ Opens at 9 AM but by 8:45 the queue already circles the building three times! Bring an umbrella and a mini fan! ✅ Must rent the AR guide (20 yuan, totally worth it!) ✅ The 3D canal boat experience transports you straight to the Sui and Tang dynasties ✅ The traditional-style street inside is incredibly photogenic 📸 ✨ Hidden photo spot: Head toward Starbucks from the exit, the red bridge 🌉 offers a perfect panoramic view of the museum - absolutely amazing! 🍚 Lunch Pitfall Guide: Skip the Yangzhou fried rice at Xiao Huai Shi ❌ but their sour radish and old duck soup is incredibly flavorful ~ I could easily devour three bowls of rice with the preserved vegetables! 🌿 Slender West Lake Walking Record: ▫️ South route on foot + North route by sightseeing car (perfect for lazy travelers!) ▫️ Twenty-four Bridge is so beautiful it looks like it floated out of a Tang dynasty poem ✨ The older generation will love it! Young people might prefer to go directly to... 🥛 Mystery Yogurt Check-in: Yang's yogurt doesn't taste particularly special, but since you're already there, the Instagram-worthy jasmine-flavored one is perfect for social media posts 🌸 🌙 Night Tour Triple Combo: Pishi Street (feels like an artsy film heroine's street photoshoot) → Dongguan Street (lantern-lined alleys with maximum atmosphere) → Caiyi Street (vibrant local life that heals the office worker's soul) ✨ Secret photo spot: The alley opposite Yiyuan Garden offers a view of Siwang Pavilion 🌙 where moonlight coats the ancient pavilion in a sugar-like frost 🍜 Food Hit and Miss List: 🔥 Stir-fried "high melon" with pork slices will open a new world (it's actually water bamboo!) 💣 Advice for the three streets of snacks: better to feast with your eyes only! 💌 Bonus Preview: Next time I'll share about Yangzhou breakfast tea and Jiangnan gardens 🥰
