Gong He Chun (Ganquan Road Branch)

This is the head office of the century-old Gonghechun restaurant, located on Ganquan Road. We stayed at Jichangyuan Hotel before, so it was only 5 minutes away, very convenient. The green pepper and shredded pork rice, hot shredded pork, xiaolongbao, sanding buns, and steamed cakes are all very good.

The taste is good, affordable and suitable for ordinary people

I went there over a year ago and just recently found photos. This century-old teahouse is one of the "Three Springs of Yangzhou," and is said to be the most accessible, especially favored by Yangzhou locals. We came here to see how it differed from our teahouses in Guangzhou, and we noticed a significant difference. In Guangzhou, a pot of tea is essential for each table, but here, they don't seem to be as enthusiastic about it. Several tables share a single pot, and everyone comes for breakfast and then leaves in a hurry, missing the leisurely atmosphere of enjoying tea in Guangzhou. Their breakfast selection is also much smaller than Guangzhou's tea snacks, let alone exquisite, and it seems like just an ordinary breakfast shop. We tried a few of the more distinctive ones: "|Xiaolong Soup Dumplings^", "|San Ding Bao^", "|Shrimp Roe Dumpling Noodles^", "|Thousand Layer Oil Cake^", and "|Glutinous Rice Shaomai^", but the taste was just average, nothing outstanding, which was a bit disappointing.
