Itinerary • Day 1: Slender West Lake 🌳 → Ge Garden 🎋 → Dongguan Street 🏮 → Ancient Canal Night Tour 🛶 ◦ Morning: Enter Slender West Lake from the South Gate, stroll along "Changdi Chunliu," and snap the stunning reflections of "Five Pavilion Bridge" and "Fishing Platform" 📸! Rent a rowboat, listen to the boatwoman’s gentle singing, and soak in the Jiangnan charm of "two embankments of flowers and willows all leaning on the water"~ ◦ Noon: Head straight to Quyuan Teahouse 🍵! Jade dumplings, three-diced buns, thousand-layer oil cake… every bite is a taste of Jiangnan 🥟. Remember to line up early! ◦ Afternoon: Step into Ge Garden, wander through the four-season rockeries 🏞️, hear the rustling bamboo, and feel like you’ve traveled back to the elegant life of ancient salt merchants! ◦ Evening: Stroll along Dongguan Street, with its bluestone paths and red lanterns 🏮, browse old-brand shops and creative boutiques, climb the city tower to watch the sunset 🌇, and soak up the full atmosphere! ◦ Night: Take a traditional-style painted boat for a night cruise on the ancient canal 🌃, with dazzling lights on both banks and reflections on the water so beautiful they take your breath away! • Day 2: Grand Canal Museum 🚢 → He Garden 🏠 → Pishi Street 📚 ◦ Morning: Book the Grand Canal Museum in advance, where a naked-eye 5D film takes you through a thousand years 🛕, a 360° panoramic display shows the canal’s four seasons, and an ultra-realistic ancient street market delights Hanfu enthusiasts! ◦ Noon: Grab lunch nearby at a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant 🥢, savor Lion’s Head meatballs, Wensi tofu soup, Squirrel mandarin fish… so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows raise! ◦ Afternoon: Explore He Garden, known as the "Top Garden of Late Qing," with its maze-like winding corridors 🧐, and snap photos at Shuixin Pavilion that come with built-in filters for instant masterpieces! ◦ Evening: Leisurely wander the artsy Pishi Street, check out trendy bookstores 📖 and creative coffee shops ☕, and experience Yangzhou’s slow life amid the lively local atmosphere~ Food Recommendations 🍜 • Must-try morning tea: Crab roe soup dumplings (super satisfying soup inside!), hot dried shredded tofu (amazing knife skills!), jade dumplings (bright green and tempting) at Fuchun Teahouse and Yechun Teahouse 😋 • Snack champions: Shrimp roe wonton noodles 🍜 at Jiangjiaqiao, Boss Pan’s fried chicken leg 🍗, Zhao’s layered glutinous rice balls (classic Four Happiness flavor) 🍡 • Must-order main dishes: Soft-shelled long fish 🐟, Yangzhou fried rice (each grain distinct!), salted goose 🦆—the freshness of Huaiyang cuisine dances on your tongue!
