The ancient city of Yangzhou is my heart where she had been a long time, although on many occasions driving his car along the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed and JAC highway passes through, but each time pass by. Could not stay. The afternoon of August 2 this year, and finally, together with his wife embarked on a bus bound for Yangzhou.
We took the bus terminal from the Xujiahui 15:30 sent the last group of Volvo buses (fare 83 yuan), four hours after the car arrived in Yangzhou terminus. In the taxi driver's recommendation, we checked into the hotel Yanfu Wenjin Road West, this place is run by Trade and Industry Bureau, the standard two-star (price 168 yuan, excluding breakfast). Pretty good location is also very quiet, a few minutes walk to the spring and the rule of society, Yangzhou Museum and four Wangting food street, etc.. (Disadvantages: room air conditioner is too small and noisy)
Into the room to lay down their luggage, and immediately went to netizens doubly respected Fuman Lou hotel, though already is more than 20:00, but the store is still full of guests and friends to sit, voices, wait a moment, we sit down and start a la carte : 2 cold dishes, silver carp Fenpi soup, slightly fries Huang, salted egg yolk tofu, celery pumpkin, emerald fried rice, cold beer; as many guests, serving food tastes really slow, but authentic, sufficient volume. In particular the case of salted egg yolk tofu, the practice of novel taste great. Huang slightly fries are also very unique, apart from proper ingredients, the King also Ginkgo biloba seed and fried bread Ding! Fond, after a checkout: 91 yuan,真爽! Fuman Lou indeed well-deserved reputation, service, dishes and prices are good.
Hao Shui night after the hotel early in the morning we came across the century-old shop - the rule of Spring Garden Tea House breakfast. A Package (12 yuan eight varieties), a Crab soup packets (8 million), two bowls of rice pudding (6 million), a case Gan Si (6 million), in general, the taste in general. Giant expensive soup packets to use straw suction, but wondered how the package too, that 90% of all juice stuffing inside呀.
Out of the Tea House, head in the sun all the way along the river, walked toward the Slender West Lake (34 per ticket). Personally, I think: For those with little time friend, the volume Cave days, Qushui West Park, two do not have to go in the (somewhat messy, bent old man slipped a lot), can be directly Tai Hongqiao from the south gate into the Slender West Lake. After Long Beach Chunliu, Xu Yuan, small Jinshan, step onto a red wooden bridge, which may have been familiar with Baita Temple Lian Xing, the five kiosks Bridge, the Diaoyutai (also known as blow-Taiwan), etc. will leapfrog into the eyes landscapes. Photography, lake walk 78 minutes, we arrived at 24 the bridge area, the new Hei-chun of Taiwan in this scenic area of the main building, all-marble building had 24 bridges lightweight frame in the lake, the distance is also Yuan Wang Daming Temple Pagoda in the habitat may be, a strong visual sense of space, the layout of the whole scenic area can be described as Creative design, refined and elegant. Faced with this situation, people can not help but think of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's song through the ages never occur again:
Aoyama faint of water far away,
Autumn grass is not notes to make Jiangnan.
24 Bridge moon night,
Where to teach Chui Xiao Yu Ren?
Continue north along the lake, about a quarter of an hour out of thin gate western Hubei Province, the road diagonally opposite the hill on the famous temple is located in the south - Daming Temple (tickets 25 yuan). Temple from the east, central and western three parts, the Central is the Main Hall and the Memorial Hall Jianzhen two buildings, one of the memorial by the famous buildings designed by Mr Liang Sicheng, quite magnificent Tang Dynasty; west of the hall, West Park, is also worth a visit; the east is a new very Wat Pho, plain room, and habitats Pagoda.
The weather is too hot, and like in the sauna. Less than 11:00, we will visit all of the two major scenic areas, a taxi back hotel, a little rest, in time for the 12:00 drained away before the room. I am more interested in history, every time a historic city, its museums (house) are bound to go, and the ancient city of Yangzhou, of course, is no exception. 78 minutes walk out the hotel came to City Museum (that is, temple, tickets 12 yuan), half an hour we came out, feeling good: In the courtyard there are many vendors selling antiques and debris are not many exhibits in the museum , worth a visit down the eastern side of Memorial Hall, Marco Polo (affixed at the entrance, accompanied by Jacques Chirac, Jiang Zemin, visited the collection of treasures of the photos, unfortunately I do not treat, such as ordinary people through!). We are in the museum at the east of Bai Yumi also see a bustling courtyard, gray brick gatehouse, a long plaque screamed "Shi Kefa Memorial" (Marshal Zhu De, title), is closed due to a break at noon we had to hurry to hurry to get somewhere to live to regret away (a Park and Ho Park, for the same reason could not go).
Yangzhou, deserves to be called the "Pearl of North Jiangsu" and "China Moon City", city construction with each passing day, the new large-scale urban redevelopment is an orderly unfolding of (at least far more than the other side of river to another ancient city - Zhenjiang, Wenchang Pavilion such a small place as much as three KFC, two McDonald's, a Pizza Hut, Golden Eagle International Shopping newly completed high-grade, absolute with Parkson, Pacific 1 ratio). Yangzhou, simple and sincere, warm and hospitable people, every time I ask for directions have been satisfied with the reply in detail, more impressive is this: As night fell, stroll the streets, Chinese Lantern initial release, neon lights, the Millennium city is everywhere permeated with a Unit stability and peaceful, progressive and progressive atmosphere.
August 3 noon, we have embarked on Return Journey. Good-bye, old and young in Yangzhou!
