Yangzhou Lunar New Year Travel Guide

Yangzhou Day Trip | Lunar New Year Travel Tips for Avoiding Crowds in This Hidden Gem of a City✨ We drove to Yangzhou for the Lunar New Year. The attractions here are much less crowded than those in Quanzhou, and the scenery is beautiful. I wrote this one-day travel guide for your reference. 🌿[Morning: The Unique Charm of Slender West Lake] Who says there is no beautiful scenery in winter? Slender West Lake is a pleasant surprise in the morning mist! Take an electric boat for CNY 60 per person (a rowboat is CNY 100 per person and can hold 10 people, a small electric boat is CNY 500 for a private charter). Flocks of black swans swim past the side of the boat, and the flapping wings of mandarin ducks and ducks make you suddenly understand the ancient saying, "The wild ferry is deserted, and the boat drifts alone." 🍵[Xiangyuan Teahouse: Taste Huaiyang Cuisine] I highly recommend the squirrel fish for lunch! The sweet and sour sauce coats the crispy fish, and you won't get tired of eating three pieces in a row! The green tea lotus pastry is like a blooming jade flower, the Yangzhou fried rice is distinct, and the bok choy is sweet and refreshing. You can eat your fill for CNY 105 per person⛩️ ⛩️[Daming Temple: Climb High and Feel the Zen] In the afternoon, overlook the entire city of Yangzhou from the top of Qiling Tower. The wind blows the prayer ribbons on the eighth-floor observation deck, and the black tiles and white walls in the distance overlap with Slender West Lake, as if you have entered an ink painting. 🛏️[Ji Hotel: Enjoy a Warm Moment] I received three cute dolls when I checked in. The room was warm, and a hot bath was very healing after a long day of walking. 🥟[Bixiangju: A Nighttime Food Tour] The CNY 28 Yangzhou fried rice for dinner was even more delicious than the CNY 68 fried rice at lunch! Gently suck the crab roe soup dumplings, and the golden soup will flow into your mouth. The fresh sweetness of Huaiyang cuisine will touch your heart. Bixiangju is more affordable than Xiangyuan Teahouse, and dinner cost CNY 140. 🌙[Night Tour of Dongguan Street] Lanterns light up the bluestone road, the sweet smell of cowhide candy wafts from the time-honored shops, and you may meet an old man blowing sugar figurines. It feels like you have traveled back to the city of Guangling a thousand years ago. ✨Tips: There are fewer people at the attractions during the Lunar New Year, so the experience is great. Wearing a hanfu for photos will make them even more stunning! Yangzhou cuisine is sweet, so I recommend pairing it with green tea to cut the grease. You must visit Yangzhou this winter!
