Things to do in Yancheng

Yanzhen Water Street is such a perfect place to just chill out in the morning! 🌿 It might not be big, but it's brimming with Jiangnan charm. Ancient buildings are reflected in the river. In the morning, there are almost no tourists; the entire street is completely occupied! Wandering through it, you truly feel the tranquility of time. I'm sure the afternoon will be bustling with activity.

The "Under the Sun" Ancient Egypt Special Exhibition at Yancheng City Museum boasts a rich collection of artifacts, including bronze cat statues, scarabs, and sarcophagi, all highly recommended. The exhibition has a wonderful atmosphere, with clear explanations on the panels, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the ancient Egyptian civilization. Amen-themed souvenirs are also available. A separate ticket is required for the exhibition. It's worth a visit for those interested in ancient Egyptian culture, and a tour takes approximately one hour.

Ancient Bridge at Night: The ancient stone bridge spans the tranquil river, its outline rendered with exceptional clarity by the moonlight and lanterns. The shadows of the bridge arches cast a gentle shadow on the water, connecting with the bridge itself, forming round halos of light that sway gently with the ripples of the river, seemingly telling the ancient town's millennia-long story. 2.

The transportation in Yancheng European Style Street is quite convenient, and the bus can basically reach it by one yuan. The biggest feature of the scenic area is the beautiful lights at night. The bridges in the streets are decorated with flowers, and it is quite relaxing to walk there. Sometimes artists perform in the streets, and it is a pleasure for the world to appreciate them.

The name of the Yancheng China Sea Salt Museum was written by Mr. Shen Peng. It was approved by the State Council on January 23, 2006. It is the only special museum in the country that reflects the history and civilization of China's sea salt. It is located between the ancient famous artificial salt transport river - Chuanchang River in Yancheng City and the famous sea defense dike - Fangong Dike in the Song Dynasty. It covers an area of ​​60,000 square meters and the main building area is 18,000 square meters. The exterior of the building is embellished with silvery-white hexagonal salt crystals, which look like strings of salt crystals scattered on the banks of the Chuanchang River.

The New Fourth Army Memorial Hall has rich exhibits. There are many guns and weapons of the time indoors, as well as a lot of historical materials. There are also many weapons on display outdoors, including airplanes, missile boats, and tanks. It is a very good memorial hall.

The lady guided us on the spot to buy tickets on the app for 20 yuan each. We can also exchange them for a cup of coffee or tea when we go up. It is super comfortable to see the scenery and feel the breeze. I took my friend and her son to play in Yancheng. We went to the Yancheng Museum, Zhulin Hotel, Xinnongli Yanmai Bookstore, and finally the Salt Cube. She said the most interesting place was the Salt Cube. We took a lot of photos. It was too hot to go to the European Flower Street, but it was nice to have a clear view from the Salt Cube. I didn't have time to see the night view, which must be more beautiful.

Because of the weather, the wind was very strong, but the scenery on the way was still very beautiful, just like the Wizard of Oz.

It's really great. I've been there several times. It must be more beautiful in the summer when the lotus flowers are in full bloom.

This morning I started from Anting West, first transferring at Haian Station, then going to Dongtai. The bus was late. I tried to take the rural bus 201/210, finally finding the waiting area. A bus going to Hougang arrived, probably the 210, but I hesitated and it drove off. At 11:16, the 201 (to Qionggang) arrived. I boarded and said I wanted to go to Anfeng Old Station. The driver said it was 3 yuan, and I could pay by scanning a QR code. Along the way, several passengers left their belongings on the bus, paid the fare, and got off. The bus company even delivered their items. I arrived at Anfeng Old Station at 11:57. Entering the ancient town, I bought a combined ticket to visit four scenic spots. Honestly, it didn't matter whether I visited them or not; the museum was small and nothing special. The cloth shoe shop and the barbershop were more interesting. This barbershop's layout and orientation were somewhat similar to the one near the No. 10 Bridge on Waiqingsong Road when I was a child. My grandmother used to take me there, and after getting a haircut, we'd buy an ice cream. Since we were already paying for all four attractions with the combined ticket, we decided to visit them all. We couldn't find the Bao's Building at first, so we had to go back and look for it again. When we got to the hotel, we discovered that the photo watermark function was disabled, so we couldn't organize the timeline.
