Yancheng in Jiangsu's northern Jiangsu is a low-key city, unlike the aura of Suzhou and Nanjing. The history of Yancheng is also very long. Because of the salt county in 119 BC, although the salt industry is not the main one, the name has been preserved. The sea salt culture of Yancheng has a long history and a sea salt museum has been built. There is a water street in the south of Yancheng, which is a must for many tourists. However, this water street is not a monument, but a new one. The total investment of Water Street is 310 million yuan. It was officially completed in 2008 and is positioned in the national 4A level tourist attraction. Water Street covers an area of more than 200 acres.

Continuing the Yancheng series today Yancheng Water Street is a popular destination for many visitors to Yancheng. There are two main reasons why people like to visit here: the scenery and the food. After experiencing it myself, I found that the essence of Yancheng Water Street is at night (but not too late). Let's break it down: ✅ Water Street is a typical ancient-style street that looks better at night. The lighting and artistic lamps make for better photos. ✅ When there are no events, there are fewer visitors at night, and you can climb the ancient city tower for a view. ✅ The painted boats at the entrance are also decorated with lights at night, which look even better and make for great photos when combined with the lights on the river. ✅ I recommend walking on the bridges and climbing the ancient city tower for a panoramic view. If there is a performance that night, sit down and enjoy it before leaving. ⛔️ There are many snacks here, so just pick a few to try. See the last picture for a food map. ⛔️ If you want to visit the Salt Museum, go during the day. That's all for today. Follow me, and let's explore new destinations together!

Water Street is the homesickness of Yancheng people and carries the trajectory of Haiyan’s history and development changes. Its original site was at the west gate of ancient Yancheng. It was built beside the water and the street was built along the water, so it was called "Water Street". Today, Yanzhen Water Street has become a bright business card of Yancheng with its quaint folk customs full of Yancheng characteristics. Walking among the blue bricks and black tiles of Yanzhen Water Street with unique Ming and Qing style, a sense of ancient charm hits you in the face. The arched bridge holes, the clear river water, the weeping willows dancing in the wind by the river, and the uniquely shaped boats form a beautiful picture of the water town, which makes people feel poetic unconsciously. For Yanzhen Water Street, the bridge is not only the link where water and land meet, but also the main transportation route for life in the water street and the fulcrum of the water street scenery. It is a scene in itself and can also be viewed. A bridge is a poem and a legend. The people coming and going are the faithful notes of these bridges. Every trace on the bluestone slabs is the murmur of the bridge. Here, you can walk on the stone path, ride a rowing boat, or sit in a corner by the river, enjoy the long-lost tranquility and spend some slow time.

Yanzhen Shui Street is closely adjacent to the Chuan Chang River landscape belt, carrying the historical changes and development of Haiyan. Its original site was at the west gate of the ancient Salt City, built by the water, hence the name 'Shui Street'. In the old days, salt merchants moored their boats along the street, with shops lined up, wealthy and prosperous, renowned throughout southern Huai. Return to the hotel to rest, and visit the night market in the evening

This wall basically encompasses all the characteristic elements of Yancheng. It is better looking than some other Yancheng theme walls. It is located near the Chuanchang River cruise ship pier on the water street. Come and take a look during the New Year. Yancheng|Tinghu Water Street

The most shocking is the dragon-shaped lantern, which has been carefully designed and placed in front of the scripture storage building. Through clever layout and lighting effects, a visual illusion is created, making the dragon-shaped lantern seem to pass through one side of the scripture storage building and then extend to the other side, perfectly blending with the scripture storage building, forming a spectacular scene.

Yancheng Water Street is located in the central area of Yancheng City, and the mother river of Yancheng, Chuan Chang River, flows past it. The streets are full of green water, and the buildings are simple and elegant. Historical records show: "Water Street, located at the west gate of the ancient city. Salt merchants dock their boats along the street, rich merchants gather, shops are lined up, the lights are bright and the wine is green, it is also known as Huainan." The entire Water Street has a waterway more than 800 meters long, winding and twisting, connecting all the landscapes. Pavilions, towers, flower windows, lanterns, green bricks and brown tiles, all show the ancient elegance. Yancheng Water Street is divided into three major areas: the mansion gate, the sky water square, and the post water restaurant. There are special attractions such as Shuiyun Pavilion, Piaozhou Opera Garden, and Hanmo Pavilion. One by one, there are good scenery and fun, and there are also delicious food. Yancheng's Eight Big Bowls are very famous, including "Stewed Earth Biao, Big Chicken Hugging Small Chicken, Braised Glutinous Rice Balls, Braised Clams, Raised Cakes, Taro Shrimp Soup, Braised Pork, Braised Knife Fish" and other authentic banquet dishes. And each dish has different meanings and allusions. In 1021 AD, Fan Zhongyan, an outstanding thinker, politician, military strategist, educator, and litterateur of the Northern Song Dynasty, was transferred to the salt warehouse in Xixi (now Dongtai City). During his tenure, he strongly advocated the reconstruction of the Hanhai Dam, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, known as "Fan Gongdi". Yancheng is named after salt and thrives because of salt. The origin of "boiling the sea for salt" can be traced back to the Yan Emperor period. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the sea salt production in the coastal areas of Wu, Yue, and Chu had initially taken shape. The Salt Merchant Guild Hall can be regarded as the core of Water Street. It is the largest group of concentrated buildings in the entire Water Street scenic area, with flying eaves and corners, ancient and quaint. The group of sculptures in front of the door also vividly reproduces the prosperity of the salt industry and the gathering of merchants at that time. Yanzong Temple is a temple dedicated to the Salt God, composed of three main halls. The main hall in the middle worships the ancestors of salt production, Shu Sha, the ancestors of salt management, Jiao Ge, and the ancestors of salt management, Guan Zhong. The eastern hall worships the Great Saint of Salt Plate, and the western hall worships the Salt Lady. 📍Detailed address: Yancheng Water Street: No. 3, Kaifang Avenue, Tinghu District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province Tickets: Free admission

On Friday after work, I decided to go to Yancheng with my husband. We arrived by high-speed rail at 20:00 Stay: Directly checked into Jinglai Hotel next to the high-speed rail station, very convenient, good value for money, checked a few attractions are not far, convenient transportation. About ¥200(p3) Travel: Shared bicycles rode to the water street(p4) in about ten minutes. There are Hello bicycles Food: Ordered fish soup dumplings and vegetable porridge from Cuiqi Xiaolong for takeout in the evening, the fish soup was very delicious, and the vegetable porridge was surprisingly good. Less than ¥20 Drank a large cup of tea from A Shui, and Grandpa doesn't make tea, haven't tried these two brands, they were pretty good. Day2: Food: Ordered Huaiyang Tower for brunch, actually a six-piece set is enough Travel: Took a bus for 2 yuan directly from the hotel side platform to the Wetland Museum The Wetland Museum is free, the stranded whale skeleton is very spectacular(p5), the design has some clever ideas, p6 this wall is a touch screen, you can listen to the calls of different birds, don't miss it. Took a taxi to the Sea Salt Museum(p7) Free, need to make an appointment on the public number, general, can listen to the audio explanation on the mobile phone. Took a taxi to Flower Street(p8), didn't feel like eating anything special, looked at the salt cube, continued to share a bicycle for about 15 minutes to Yan+ Book Club(P9) It was too hot, strolled around the shopping district and took a taxi directly to Zhuxi Ancient Town. The ancient town is quite good! The business model is relatively new, very beautiful at night, if you come in the afternoon you can cook tea around the stove. Ate at Zhuxi Workers and Peasants Restaurant, the environment is quite good but the food is average. Tim's fried yogurt(p10) has really cheap and good toys inside! Almost didn't find it, actually it's just a wall away, girls must go and have a look! The last picture is the seal at the Wetland Museum saying goodbye~ About Yancheng milk tea: I found that besides the chain brand milk tea in the mall, other attractions' milk tea brands are relatively niche, so I ended up drinking Ruixing and Kudi at Zhuxi for the whole day. The overpass in Yancheng is very fast, and it's super fast from Zhuxi back to the hotel. Overall, it's quite interesting, Zhuxi is worth a second visit!

Among the ancient buildings, it is full of local folk customs. The water street is naturally also known as the 'dream ink land of Jiangsu'. 👍The water street prospered because of the salt merchants and salt people.

Driving through Yancheng, in one day, went to Zhulin Hotel + Water Street + Yancheng Museum. If you play for another day, do the friends in Yancheng have any other places to recommend?

Beyond the hustle and bustle, in the marketplace, in the ancient streets, that's where life is at its fullest! The ancient streets have their own charm.

It's close to home, it's very happy to walk around and take photos in the afternoon! As a native Yancheng girl, I love our big Yancheng so much!

On the night of the day I arrived in Yancheng, I went to Mountain Yam Hole to eat Northern Jiangsu cuisine, and then drove to the Water Street. The parking lot only costs 5 yuan for three hours, and it's free for one hour. Due to the low temperature in Northern Jiangsu, there were few tourists at night, but the Water Street still felt very worthwhile to visit. They have already made large-scale lanterns for the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, which is very impressive. There is a boat dock on the Water Street, 40 yuan per person. There is also a snack street with quite a few varieties. It's just a pity that the traces of man-made are too obvious.

On my first visit to Yancheng, I was deeply attracted by the night view of this northern Jiangsu city. It's not only the low-key and hidden Water Street, but also a kind of calm and leisurely life atmosphere. Life is about enjoying the present! Whether it's the monks who are quietly copying scriptures in the pavilions, or the actors performing Huai opera 'Tooth Mark Record' on the stage, they all make people feel a strong sense of worldly life. At the circular dock by the Chuanchang River, take a wooden canopy boat and slowly pass by the attractions such as 'Floating Boat Opera Garden', 'Water Cloud Pavilion', etc. The outlines of the antique buildings with flying eaves appear in front of you, the artificial river meanders between the buildings, and you can also meet the staff dancing in Hanfu. The garden-style architectural complex of Water Street, the entire architectural style is antique, the waterway is winding, the pavilions stand by the water, the walls are made of clay green bricks, the roof is made of green tiles or glazed tiles, equipped with aluminum alloy antique doors and windows, showing the water town style of Yancheng and the historical and cultural features of sea salt. Every night from 7:00 to 9:00, Huai opera fans will perform here. Citizens who come to watch the opera and enjoy the cool are endless. Whether it's ancient costume drama or modern small drama, there are citizens coming to appreciate it every night. Opera performance has become a major feature of Water Street. The night in Yancheng makes people linger.
