May Rain in Yangzhou Sings, Therefore May is the Best Time to Visit Yangzhou
The drizzly rain in May sings of Yangzhou, so May is the best time to go. June is already super super hot, going to Yangzhou, you need to prepare well, bring lightweight sunscreen clothing, umbrella, sunscreen, not just outside, but the inside is super cold with cold air, I had a runny nose and was freezing for several days, so sunscreen clothing is for warmth, buy large bottles of water, just 4-liter bottles, fill them with normal mineral water bottles before going out, it's a waste of money, it's hot, eat a lot of watermelon, cool and cheap.
Transportation: bus, walking, Accommodation: Ge Yuan International Hostel, the advantage of staying here is to go to East Gate Street to eat and drink, you should try the coarse and simple lychee osmanthus powder, at the end of East Gate Street is Caiyi Lane, many good things, Jiangjia Bridge Dumpling and Noodle shop's shrimp dumplings and noodles are good, drank all the soup. Nearby Zhenyuan's Ji Chun Tea Club needs to go early, after 7:30 pm you have to queue for numbers. Cold noodles, crab yellow soup dumplings, three-ding bao, pine nut fried dough sticks, steamed dumplings, lion head, are good.
No feelings about Yangzhou fried rice (because there are hated shiitake mushrooms), not feeling salty duck, much fatter than duck, not very like it. Yangzhou's famous attractions are basically not far away, very suitable for those with good physical fitness. Walking along the streets, looking around, East Gate Street has N alleys, Scissors Alley, Yu Guan Ren Alley, Miaohou Lane, and Pishi Street, Bayzi Street, strongly recommend going early in the morning to these winding alleyways, to experience the old Yangzhou life.
Yangzhou's residential architecture is copper shell lock structure, different from Beijing's four courtyards, it is truly four-sided closed, very distinctive. Not far from East Gate Street is Tianning Temple and Shiguang Shrine, free. Tianning Temple has the Yangzhou Eight Monsters Exhibition, can watch for a long time. Few tourists, just right for me. The stone lions at the entrance are cute. Shiguang Shrine is in full bloom with full of fragrance, inside is the Guangling Ancient Qin Museum, worth visiting to understand the ancient Qin. Ge Yuan and He Yuan are good, everywhere is towering ancient trees, winding corridors, artificial hills, after watching, the feeling is that rich people really know how to play.
Daming Temple has no head, don't go to climb the tower and ring the bell, there is a Jia Zha's imitation, Ou Yang Xiu's remains, Stone Tao's calligraphy and paintings. The whole building is in the Tang Dynasty style, then, nothing, next to is Guan Yushan, those who are interested can go to worship. West Lake is recommended to come in March and April, in February and January, it's like a city park, tourists are still many, compared to the 120 ticket price, I think the cost performance is slightly low. Yangzhou as a tourist city, clean and refreshing, the building style on the side of the road has local characteristics, public toilets are very many (this is really appreciated). Finally, Qing Zhu's residence didn't go, a little regret, if there is a chance, will do a second brush.
