Gaoyou Lake, also called Zhu Lake or Biwa Lake, is located in Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province. The city belongs to Yangzhou and it's not a very touristic place. It's nice to get to know the less travelled China. It is the sixth largest freshwater lake in China, and third largest in Jiangsu. There are also wild wader birds such as ducks. The other side of the lake already belongs to Anhui province. You can ride a shared scooter around the lake. At least the part close to Gaoyou city. Some locals also take you on their boat for a ride. ☕ The pictures were taken from the rooftop of the small coffee. You will see it, it's close to the visitors center at the lake. 🍤 Local restaurants serve a lot of seafood or fish from the lake. Gaoyous salted duck eggs are popular around whole China. 🏴 You can arrive in Gaoyou by train or bus. To the lake you have to take a cab, local bus or shared bike. 🌤️ Best season is spring or autumn. Hot in summer, cold in winter. 🏨 Plenty of hotels to choose, some accept foreign guests... Nature: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ History: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adventure: ⭐⭐⭐ Local life: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #summervacation #jiangsu #easylife

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

📍 Attractions -  Mainly divided as 3 attractions. The rear garden, the residential courtyard and a rock Grotto. Very beautiful photographic location.

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

Slender West Lake is located in Yangzhou city in Jiangsu Province, China. The total area is about 100 hectares. Great place for photography. It is must see attraction for Yangzhou tour. #slenderwestlake #lakeview #yangzhoutravel

Came to Yangzhou for the Qingming festival, and the Slender West Lake is number 1 on literally every “things to do in Yangzhou” list I’ve seen, so with no desire to experience any FOMO, or think for ourselves, we headed there post-haste. It was CNY100 to get in, which is a bit steeper than other attractions I’ve been to, but you can spend a good few hours there so on balance, I’d say it’s worth it. As the name suggests, this is a pretty skinny lake, and walking around it doesn’t feel dissimilar from walking along a river. That said, there’s a lot of nice trees (to my layman’s eye anyway), so it’s a pleasant walk. There were A LOT of people there, so it’s actually not so easy to get a picture of that famous bridge without a traffic jam of leisure boats in front of it. It’s probably not so busy when there’s not a national holiday though. In summary, I’d give Slender West Lake a 7 out of 10: it’s a’ight.

#holidayvacation We are stay in yangzhou, China. it is a great vacation 😎😍 #holidayvacation#merryxmas#awesomepic

Because it is located in the southern part of China Dongguan can get quite hot in the Summer, but never super cold in the winter. The historical areas are becoming more touristy. But the lights are still nice to look at, if you go out at night it is cooler. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
