It's open from 7:30 to 17:30, and you gotta snap those Insta-worthy pics here! 📸 Culture lovers, don’t miss the quirky Yang Zhou 486 Fei Wu Zhi Wen Hua Yi Chan Ji Ju Qu (扬州486非物质文化遗产集聚区). It’s all about traditional crafts, fun workshops, and creative souvenir shopping. You’ll find it at No. 486, Wenhuajicheng Rd, open 9:00–18:00. Last stop: Wenchangge (文昌阁). This ancient pavilion sits at the heart of old Yangzhou, buzzing with local life, snacks, and street vibes. Swing by at the intersection of Wenchang West Rd and Guangling District—it’s a chill spot for people-watching and grabbing a bite.
