Riddle: Airplane delivering mail (guess a place name) Answer: Gaoyou This is the first time I knew about Gaoyou when I was a child. After I started working, I only knew about Gaoyou salted duck eggs, and that was all I knew about Gaoyou. Finally, when I came here, I realized that there are many stories here. Firstly, Gaoyou Lake has beautiful scenery; secondly, Zhongguo Temple is the only temple located on the island in the center of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Zhongguo Temple Pagoda is known as the "Southern Wild Goose Pagoda"; thirdly, Yucheng Post is a "living fossil" of China's postal stations, the largest in scale and the best preserved ancient post station in the country. Pu Songling served as a post official here. It was only after he submitted a request to the emperor for funds to repair and renovate that the large-scale water and land post station we see today was built. Wen Tianxiang was detained during his mission to negotiate peace and escaped to Gaoyou via Jingkou (Zhenjiang). He had a thrilling journey and formed a lifelong bond with Gaoyou. Qin Guan and Wang Zengqi are both from Gaoyou. The famous "Travels of Marco Polo" vividly records the operation of the postal stations and relay stations during the Yuan Dynasty, and mentions his stay at the post station in Gaoyou and the scene of the rich local products. Come to Gaoyou to learn something new!

There is a treasure town called Gaoyou in Jiangsu Province. It is a famous historical and cultural city with many national key cultural relics protection units. Among them is a pawnshop from the Qing Dynasty, which is also a national key cultural relic protection unit. Moreover, this pawnshop was actually a private property secretly set up in Gaoyou by Heshen, a corrupt official during the Qianlong period. This shop belonged to Heshen's secret property. [Yeah] Gaoyou Pawnshop is located at No. 19 Renmin Road in the historical and cultural district in the north of Gaoyou City. It is also known as Beimen Pawnshop and was opened in the early Qing Dynasty. The Gaoyou Pawnshop faces south and has a nearly square floor plan, about 60 meters long from east to west and 55 meters deep from north to south. It covers an area of ​​about 3,300 square meters and has a construction area of ​​2,700 square meters. The building is a traditional brick and wood structure with blue brick walls, small tile roof, and gable roof. Gaoyou Pawnshop adopts a courtyard-style layout. Gaoyou Pawnshop provides an important window for studying the special facility functions of this special industry, and also provides physical materials for studying the pawn system and residential architecture in Jiangsu area during the Qing Dynasty. [TeaDrinker] On May 25, 2006, Gaoyou Pawnshop was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Gaoyou Pawnshop was opened in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Its name was Tongxing and it was said to be the private property of Heshen, a powerful official in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, there were several pawnshops in Gaoyou City. This pawnshop was the largest and had been in business the longest. Because it was located outside the north gate of Gaoyou City, the locals called it Bei Dangdian. After Heshen's downfall, the government became private and changed hands several times. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, Ma Shijie became the largest shareholder of the pawnshop, which was later run exclusively by He Zi. [Congratulate]

It is currently the largest and best-preserved ancient post station in the country. Back in the day, Yucheng Post Station, as a key relay station between the two capitals, hosted many famous scholars and literati, leaving behind a wealth of poems and literary works. Exiting the scenic area, we were also unexpectedly treated to a sunset.

Yucheng Post is located in Guanyixiang, Nanmen Street, Gaoyou City, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is located on the banks of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is surrounded by rippling waves and busy shipping.

In addition, there are several places, such as China's only Postal Museum, Horse Temple, Drum Tower, etc., which are very attractive and both informative and interesting.

With the theme of ancient post buildings and facilities, friends in the postal industry, express delivery industry, and transportation industry can come here to worship at the Horse Temple.

Yucheng Posthouse is located on the east side of Nanmen Street in Gaoyou City, Yangzhou. In ancient times, it was a place for people delivering official documents or officials on business trips to change horses or stay temporarily. It is also the best-preserved ancient posthouse in my country that combines both land and water. It was built in the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1375) and has a history of more than 600 years. This ancient posthouse, which has been baptized by the wind and rain of the times, is worth exploring one by one. Yucheng Posthouse covers an area of ​​16,000 square meters. It has a unique architectural style and distinct local characteristics. It covers functions such as post office, mansion, and water transport. The halls, stables, storehouses, kitchens and other facilities in the post station have restored the true appearance of ancient post stations. Here, you can also feel the poetic sentiments of the Ming Dynasty poet Wu Yubi, "I will write about the past and present prosperity to the post station", and recall the endless homesickness of the great poet Qin Shaoyou, "surrounded by thousands of acres of lakes, and bound by the sky without walls". The Drum Tower is divided into three floors, each with a spacious corridor for visitors to climb up and look out. Not only can they overlook the entire Yucheng Posthouse, but they can also enjoy the third largest freshwater lake in Jiangsu Province - Gaoyou Lake, as well as the prosperous scenery of the city. In addition to its profound historical and cultural heritage, Yuchengyi also has pleasant natural scenery.

The Yucheng Post Station in Gaoyou is now a World Heritage Site, a national 4A-level tourist attraction, and a national key cultural relics protection unit. It is the 'living fossil' of China's post stations, the largest and best-preserved ancient post station, and a post-transmission building left over from the Ming Dynasty.

The post station is relatively large in scale, with a drum tower above the gate, which also serves as a watchtower. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the place where goods were received and detained at that time. The two rooms behind are where the horsemen and other personnel rest. On the right is the place for watering horses, and many old objects are still preserved. The left side is now the display area of Jingdong Logistics, which is also a combination of ancient and modern. The building is well preserved, but the gate is a bit messy.

Looking back, I traveled with my mother several times in 2023. I was happy 😁 Let’s continue to be happy next year😊 🌟Highlights: Gaoyou's Yuchengyi is the former express delivery station😊 🚗Transportation strategy: Park in the commercial area outside and walk in for seven or eight minutes. There are quaint alleys along the way. 💰Ticket price: 30 yuan, 25 yuan if purchased online in advance. 🌟Highlights: It's a very small place, right next to the Grand Canal. It took half an hour to finish the tour. It wasn't very fun. Tips: Personally, I think you don’t need to spend money on tickets to see Yuchengyi, it’s better to visit the old streets and alleys nearby. All the photos in this group were taken in old houses in the old streets, free of charge👻. Ginkgo and the old house create a full atmosphere😁

Yuchengyi Scenic Area is located in Gaoyou. The scenic area is not very large and it takes about an hour to walk around. There is a market nearby that sells river food. The scenic area has nice scenery and many murals, which are very beautiful.
