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.

The garden was easy to get inside with the ticket buying process being very quiet and welcoming. There is also lots of parking nearby. Inside the garden there is lots to explore. I like how much of the building there is to explore with rooms to show off the most recent residents living conditions. You can see the masters bedrooms and study room alongside some of the rooms built for entertaining. The garden was a private residence and garden from the late Qing dynasty for the He family. There are lots of signs around the museum which are bilingual. There is also a lot of staff dressed up in traditional costume which adds to the experience. We enjoyed a 2 hour visit on a weekend winter and it was very quiet.#

📍 Attractions -  Mainly divided as 3 attractions. The rear garden, the residential courtyard and a rock Grotto. Very beautiful photographic location. Also have pictures of Royal Family. 🎋🌿 📍 Hotels -  We stayed in Yitel hotel. Which is walkable distance from this attraction. The hotel was very neat and clean. 🏨 📍 Shopping -  After exit a long shopping area in a traditional way with lot of traditional foods, decor, foot massage etc. 🥘🍱👒 #yangzhoutravel #yangzhou #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

My mom has limited mobility and can't walk for long periods. So, I researched strategies in advance for our trip to Yangzhou and designed this travel guide featuring in-park transportation, core area visits, and enhanced short-distance transfers to ensure a relaxed and comfortable trip. Mom was very happy with the result. This guide can be used as a reference for those traveling with elderly family members. However, each elderly person's physical condition is different, so it's important to tailor the itinerary to their abilities and avoid pushing them too hard. Overall Trip Principles 1. Full Coverage Transportation: Slender West Lake cruise + sightseeing bus, Ge Garden rickshaw, Grand Canal Museum wheelchair rental. 2. Core Area Selection: Visit only the iconic areas of the attractions, avoiding secondary attractions that require climbing slopes or long walks. 3. Seamless Short-distance Connections: Take taxis between attractions to the nearest entrance to reduce walking distance; choose dining options within the scenic area or near the hotel. Day 1: Slender West Lake Highlights + Immersive Experience at the Grand Canal Museum Morning: Slender West Lake Cruise + Sightseeing Bus Combo Tour. Slender West Lake opens at 6am.

Be sure to visit Yangzhou in the third lunar month! If it's your first time in Yangzhou, it's best to choose accommodation within the city. Yangzhou isn't very large, so staying in the city makes it easy to get to any attraction. When you come to Yangzhou, you must try the local morning tea. It's best to book hotel accommodations without breakfast included. Yangzhou morning tea is completely different from Cantonese morning tea. It's actually more like having breakfast, with tea being secondary. The price of food in Yangzhou is not very expensive, and the portions are generous. Keep this in mind when ordering! I personally think He Garden is the most beautiful. Be sure to hire a tour guide when you visit; they're available in the park. It's a pity there's no off-season for tourism in China; everywhere is crowded.

Here, you can slow down, listen to the rustling of the bamboo leaves, and feel the tranquility and elegance of the classical garden. 📍He Garden He Garden is known as the "No. 1 Garden in the Late Qing Dynasty," and its architectural style, which combines Chinese and Western elements, is unique. The winding corridors in the garden are winding and deep, connecting various buildings like a maze. In the spring, the flowers in the garden bloom in competition, complementing the ancient buildings and creating beautiful pictures. Standing on the rockery of the Shianshanfang, you can overlook the entire garden, with pavilions, towers, green trees, and flowers in full view, full of poetry and romance. 📍Grand Canal The Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal is the oldest section of the entire canal, carrying thousands of years of history and culture.

Listen up, folks! Just got back from Yangzhou, and I was squeezed into Yangzhou fried rice on Dongguan Street.😤 A local grandpa taught me a lesson, and after reading this, you can save 3 hours of queuing time! (Includes hidden breakfast guide + photography secrets) 🚗Transportation Assassin Collection ❌Don't take a taxi to Dongguan Street! Weekend traffic jams start at 1 hour. Ride a shared bike from Wenchang Pavilion through the alleys, and you'll reach the city gate in 10 minutes. ❌Don't go to Daming Temple in the afternoon! Tour groups occupy the top of the tower at 2 p.m. sharp. To take panoramic photos of Slender West Lake, go before 8 a.m. 🏯Route Optimization (Original route retained + hard-earned experience) DAY 1: Dongguan Street ✅City Gate Photo Hack: Don't crowd the left staircase! Go around to the back alley of Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling and Noodle Shop on the right side, climb over the low wall to unlock a drone's-eye view. ⚠️Pitfall Warning: Be careful buying from any "time-honored brand" sauce shops! The direct-sale stores of Sanhe and Simei are at No. 62 Guangling Road (look for the green sign). DAY 2: Grand Canal Museum → Geyuan Garden → Heyuan Garden → Pishi Street ✅Reverse Operation: Head straight to Hall 13 of the museum for the "escape room"! No queues before 9 a.m. (Don't be silly and get stuck in the crowd on the first floor). ⚠️Geyuan Rockery Death Trap: Don't wear Hanfu in the Pian Shi Shan Fang! Your hair will get tangled in the rockery like a bird's nest.😭 ✅Hidden Spot: Wait at Heyuan's Shuixin Pavilion until 4:30 p.m. when the last tour group leaves, and you'll have the white magnolia view all to yourself (Bring a reflector for amazing portraits). DAY 3: Slender West Lake → Daming Temple ✅West Gate Entry Hack: Follow the morning exercise grandpas and walk backward from the Twenty-Four Bridge! Avoid the 9 a.m. entry crowds. ⚠️White Pagoda Photo Assassin: Taking photos in the afternoon backlight will make it look like a coal ball! Take photos early and rush to the wisteria trellis in Xuyuan Garden (It blooms in April and turns into a fairyland). 🍜Breakfast Red and Black List ❌Queuing at Quyuan at 5:30 a.m. = Big Sucker! Locals will tell you to go to the 4th floor of Yiyuan, next to the restroom, for a scenic view of Siwang Pavilion without queuing. ✅Secret Order: Tell the boss you want "full yellow" for the crab roe, and you'll get 30% more crab roe (The default is a mix of male and female crabs). ✅Lifesaving Food: The green pepper shredded pork noodles at Huayuan Teahouse is a hidden menu item. Adding a fried egg is the local way to eat it. 📸Photography Disaster Guide ⚠️The "Yangzhou" wall on Pishi Street has queues all day! Walk 50 meters north to the side wall of Fushengji Bookstore for the same artistic photo. ✅Daming Temple Overhead Shot Secret: Don't buy the 26 RMB ticket to climb Qiling Tower! Go around to the back of the tower to the second floor of Jianzhen Memorial Hall and use the window frame for your shot. 💡Lifesaving Tips 1️⃣Bring a folding stool! You'll need to stand on rocks to take reflection photos at the Five-Pavilion Bridge in Slender West Lake. 2️⃣Bring cash! The stalls on Caiyi Street only accept cash (The roasted pig's feet vendor said the QR code is just for show for tourists😅). 3️⃣Wear soft-soled shoes! The cobblestone path in Geyuan is more stimulating than a foot massage board. 4️⃣Beware of "free explanations"! The rockery explanation in Heyuan ends with a sales pitch for Slender West Lake combined tickets. It's Viburnum season now! Save this guide and tag your Jiangnan travel buddy!🌸 The next post will be "Suzhou Pitfall Guide." If this gets over 2,000 likes, I'll stay up for three days and nights to write it!💥
