Slender West Lake

It's best to come to Yangzhou on weekdays, otherwise the weekend experience may not be as good. The main purpose of visiting Yangzhou is to eat and play. In the morning, arrange to have morning tea. We recommend the Garden Teahouse or Ye Chun on Yanfu Road (after eating, you can take a walk nearby, there are sightseeing boats and the Tianci Zen Temple). If you want something more upscale, you can go to Quyuan for morning tea, which is right next to Shouxihu Lake. For lunch or dinner, you can find a restaurant to try Huaiyang cuisine. We recommend Yangzhou Banquet, Pingshan Banquet, Yangzhou Lion Tower, Xishi Tower, etc. As for places to visit, start with Daming Temple, then go to Shouxihu Lake, Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, He Garden. Yangzhou is a place for slow living, so take your time to savor it.

Slender West Lake is located in the northwest of Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province. It's a beautiful park with gardens, temples and pagodas. 🦢🏞️🏯 The history is also very interesting and many sings are biliangual in Chinese and English. It is known for its narrow waterways (so the name slander) that connect gardens, bridges and the area's numerous picturesque spots. Great for taking pictures! 📸 My favorite spot was the bridge on picture 1, so nice. 🎟️ Ticket is about 100RMB, year card is also available #bucketlistreboot #yangzhou #yangzhoutravel #chinatravel #jiangsu #slenderwestlake

It is similar to most of the Chinese lake parks 🎋🌳. Those who have more interest into Chinese culture, monuments, gardens and architecture is a great place to explore 🎍. You can either explore the park by walking or by boat ride ⛵️. I heard its more beautiful in spring with blossoms.🌺🌻 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Slender West Lake park in Jiangsu is a gorgeous scenic spot you should visit. You can either take a long walk around the lake, enjoying the scenery and cultural spots, or take a long and beautiful ride in the boats. During spring, weather is nice and flowers make this park an outstanding location. There are many beautiful locations for the perfect picture. Although, during our visit the park was so crowded we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we wanted it. Easy to realize many people travel from far away to visit this gorgeous lake. Inside the park, there are so many special spots that will bring your attention, from the gardens to the white pagoda, boats decorations and blossomed trees, stone laying, bridges, architecture.. absolutely amazing. This place also holds strong cultural heritage and history. 📍 No.28, Dahongqiao Road Slender West Lake Scenic Area Nei, Hanjiang, Yangzhou #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip #garden #park #blossoms #happylaborday #happyfamily #jiangsu #boat #culturalheritage #slenderwestlake #baozhang #lake #laketour #boattour #ancientarchitecture

I love the spring in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, with the bright and beautiful March and April, where good scenery can be found everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. You can travel from Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou to Shaoxing, enjoying countless beautiful views and delicious foods. In Nanjing at this time, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, especially those at the Jiming Temple, which are exceptionally beautiful, making the ancient temple full of spring vitality. While admiring the cherry blossoms, don't forget to taste Nanjing's delicacies, such as duck blood and vermicelli soup, honey lotus root, small wontons, crispy baked buns, vegetarian assorted dishes, sugar taro sprouts; Nanjing's snacks have won my heart. Yangzhou at the end of March and the beginning of April is also lovely, with willows swaying, the green waves of Slender West Lake rippling, and boating on the lake is peaceful and leisurely, a scene that makes one want to write a poem. Yangzhou's cuisine is also not to be missed, with a rich variety of morning tea and the light and delicate Yangzhou dishes. Oh, I really want to live in Yangzhou and be intoxicated with its food. Heading south to the city of Suzhou, with its drizzling rain, the hydrangeas in the Lingering Garden are in full bloom, and the Suzhou gardens are like a dream in the misty rain, too beautiful for words. Suzhou's cuisine is also so exquisite that it's hard to bring oneself to disturb it with chopsticks, with Suzhou-style noodles, pastries, and Su cuisine, so refined they seem not of this world, unforgettable! Shanghai's spring is not only about tulips but also about crabapple blossoms, not only about romance but also about the warmth and brightness of spring. When you come to Shanghai to enjoy the spring, you must also enjoy the food, such as shepherd's purse cakes, shepherd's purse and bamboo shoot buns, shepherd's purse three delicacies wontons; these are all part of Shanghai's spring flavor, how can one word 'fresh' describe it all? From Shanghai to Hangzhou, it's a different scene, with the lakeside full of flowers and willows, Su Causeway in the spring morning, and the thick atmosphere of spring. A cup of Longjing tea before Qingming Festival, a view of Hangzhou's own spring, makes one linger and forget to return. Hangzhou in spring also has its unique delicacies, with oil-braised bamboo shoots at the right time, Longjing tea fragrant Dongpo pork, osmanthus lotus seed cake, all of which are my favorites. The last stop, Shaoxing, is also full of surprises, with tender green leaves, pink flowers, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, a beautiful picture of spring in the south of the Yangtze River. Shaoxing's food is impressive, with stinky tofu, wine-marinated chicken, Shaoxing three delicacies, rice cakes, drunken shrimp, all too delicious. At night, a warm pot of yellow wine helps one to sleep warmly and beautifully. I visit the south of the Yangtze River every year, not afraid of the late arrival of spring, just come when it comes~

This month, I must make a trip to Yangzhou. The itinerary is as follows: On the first day, visit Daming Temple, Slender West Lake, Ge Garden, Dongguan Street, Caiyi Street, and Wenchang Pavilion.

The above route can cover almost the entire slender West Lake, but it is very long and tiring, with not many dining options near the North Gate, it is best to dine and rest in the park. Quick Tour Route: East Gate—1757 Food Street—Take the sightseeing bus to visit the Wanhua Garden—Get off at the Twenty-Four Bridge for a spring stage (tea tasting, music appreciation)—Take a water bus/walk—South Gate.

Outside the park: Restaurants are more concentrated near the West and South Gates, with fewer near the North Gate. 🚌 Transportation: During peak times, it is difficult to hail a taxi at the North Gate, and it is also hard to find an electric car with a charge, so you can only continue walking or choose the bus, with Bus 1 going to the West and East Gates. Be sure to board the bus at the first stop, otherwise, it will be difficult to get on later. That's all for this share, welcome everyone to follow, like, and I wish you all a happy journey!

Visiting Slender West Lake in March is so worth it! The first day in the morning, I went with a tour group. Since it was a drop-in group with many people, we originally went late, and after waiting for others, we entered the park from the West Gate at nearly 10:00. The park was packed with people. We took a boat to Xiao Jinshan and then walked back to the West Gate, covering only about one-tenth of the attractions. The scenery was so beautiful that I was left wanting more! The next day, I bought a ticket online for 90 yuan by myself, entered the park from the South Gate at 7:30 in the morning, and followed the 'audio guide' map tour. I walked, listened, watched, and took photos all the way, fully enjoying the scenery. I exited the park from the North Gate at 10:30, concluding the tour and making up for the regret. The public transportation in Yangzhou is very convenient, allowing access to any scenic spot. For a trip to Yangzhou, going on your own is the best choice!
