Yangzhou trip, starting in childhood dream. For thousands of years, repeated countless times by people singing the "Scenes in Yangzhou", is the source of this dream.
At 7:25 on April 10 one morning, I boarded along with the GF Shanghai Asia and Asia-bound bus Yangzhou began the trip dreams come true. (Jinlong car, 67 yuan tickets +2 yuan insurance premium, buy a ticket when the window close to the "insurance voluntary", but you have no objection, which represents acceptable), which we want to buy a first-K290 Train Zaiqu Yangzhou Zhenjiang , and may be due to the relationship between the tourist season, can not buy train tickets. And so on April 18 after the opening of Nanjing-Qidong railway, Shanghai will have a direct Yangzhou train. The original 3 hours by car, as the Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed traffic jams, opened a full 5 hours, 12:30 minutes arrived at the Yangzhou East Railway Station.
Get off on the taxi to the Ctrip booking good "Jinling West Lake Hills," (248 yuan / double standard room, the hall Road, No. 3, T :0514-7806111). Taxi driver on our booking very far in his opinion the hotel was very understanding, saying it was too far away from urban areas, very convenient to eat. We are the number of Yangzhou are no understanding of what he say this, really did make a bit perturbed. Not to the hotel, first saw the front there is a tower, looking street signs, the original Daming Temple not far away. Pay the fare (22 million), enter the hotel, as user said it, no one came sliding door:). Hotel looks very general, but to leave the lobby, guest houses within the garden-style landscape is indeed very beautiful, pavilions, like a miniature version of the Suzhou gardens. We lived in a Cuihua floor, room facilities, general, scenery outside the window was also good, lush. However, after a bit scary at night, etc., and dark one.
Paused for a rest in a hotel and found that there is room in this introduction to local customs of the magazine "City Walk. Yangzhou" magazine also with city maps, map, hotel next to the Slender West Lake.
A short break, out of hotel turn right at the door the back door of the Slender West Lake is the opposite is the Daming Temple, there is a line to say a lot of plush toys stall. Because we've been to Yiwu, the beginning of the toy market, where the toy booth pale into insignificance when compared with the Yiwu, so toys that appeal to the Asia and Asia are all gone. The Slender West Lake scenic area, taking into account too, such as the first look around the Slender West Lake, and then back to Daming Temple is probably not very convenient, so we decided to first go Daming Temple.
13:30 ticket into the Daming Temple (35 million), the door is king palace and invited incense, prayer of the Buddha. All the way along the Main Hall, tablets pavilions, Jianzhen Memorial Hall, Ouyang Temple, Gu Lin Tang, the hall, Chinese Room Guan Yu, the world fifth spring. Travel slowly, the Daming Temple was indeed very temples, monuments and garden scenery combination. Swam the western half of area, we went straight to the pagoda of habitat, we saw a total of nine-story tower, 70 meters high tower on the pagoda enshrines. Tower was built in the first year of Emperor Wen Renshou (601 years), a famous Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, Gao Shi, Liu Changqing, Liu Yuxi, Deng Jun Bai Ju-yi had composed a poem praising the pagoda board habitat. Unfortunately, Tang Wuzong Huichang three years (843 years) destroyed by fire. Now see the tower, is the nineties re-built in imitation Tang Dynasty architecture. Off to one side of the guide in the introduction: "In ancient times this figure was only 9 in order to use the emperor, because the emperor has landed on the pagoda habitat, so in order to build nine-story tower, Jinshan Temple, but also seven-story tower." He then went to the Peak, a look as expected so. Denta ticket seems to be 10 yuan, because it is a new tower, less attractive for us, it only took photographs of the tower, under, nor has it up.
14:30 out of the Daming Temple, went straight to the Slender West Lake, Asia and Asia gluttonous, a peddler at the door of bean jelly buy a bowl of grass jelly ... because it is peak tourist season, and ticket price of 50 yuan is the highest natural / Zhang had. From the door all the way into the Daming Temple, the Slender West Lake like a meandering creek, and I laugh at Asia and Asia said: "The Slender West Lake, there really is thin ah!" Though it was no special scenery along the way, but the fireworks in March, catkin danced, Kasuga invested in the lake, sparkling. The distance from time to time be designated to ships antique boat, from afar, as if in cross-strait willows in the walk through, really very good-looking.
After a lakeside promenade, eyes suddenly see the light, Kishun Taiwan, Wang Chun House, upstairs Guzheng The Sound of Music, lake cruises on the Yang opera performances, makes a kind of temporal and spatial dislocation, I do not know where they live feeling. Came to Yangzhou, where it can not rafting on the Slender West Lake, is a way of life can not but regret that there is no select Chuanniang big boat. And the Asia and Asia rented an electric boat (30 / hour, 50 yuan deposit), couples traveling mostly free Well, want to go to where to go. Move on along the waterway, the two sides a few beautiful numerous income, after a big Hongqiao, even out of the scope of the Slender West Lake Park. If someone in the park with the tour, this time as long as the boat dock, they do not need to spend 50 yuan to buy tickets in:). 1 hour of time off fast, and going back to the original is also a boat, on the imitation Beijing Baita, in the five kiosks will rest on the bridge, the end of the Slender West Lake trip.
17:00 a taxi to Fuman Lou (6 million), the road passing Yangzhou Stadium, the ongoing FA Cup competition, the first two days in the newspaper knows, Wuhan, Jiangsu team lost to team that day. By Fuman Lou, a look at the time still left the dinner early, so at first gourmet stroll the streets in a circle. See a lot of hot pot restaurants. Brazil, Argentina, barbecue, etc. (Japanese city of 38 yuan, 48 yuan night markets), the price really cheaper than in Shanghai to come.
17:20 Back to Fuman Lou, a window seat has already are full. Start a la carte, we just point to the three dishes when the waiters MM on the side to tell us not to point of fried rice, and said that three dishes on enough for us to eat. Yangzhou Lionhead finally o'clock, big cook Gansi, Yangzhou fried rice, crab meat tofu soup, there is a cold dish, a bottle of BEER, and a big bottle of orange juice. Came Yangzhou, do not eat fried rice how can do it ah:). It is worth mentioning that the hotel seemed to bring their own drinks, because we can see that the locals are all hand-held bundle of beer come in to eat. Huai Yang taste really good, especially the big cooking Gansi and tofu soup. As the fried rice on too late, and cooks seem to forget the salt, and letting go win another waiter fired one to one to no appetite to eat, and packaged back to the hotel when the snack bar:) checkout a total of 97 yuan +1 Yuan packaged box. (Later, when you want to eat at night found no chopsticks ... depressed呀) leave, WAITER will be packing boxes to help us Lindao the door, did not think that lasted a hundred years there will be such a service, really a kind of feeling both surprised and flattered ah: ). In general, Fu Manlou dishes are still very good!
Wen he after dinner along the road, Wenchang Road, stroll for a while, along with Wenchang Pavilion, Wenchang Square. 19:00 a taxi back to hotel, out of the urban areas, the suburb of Yangzhou is deserted at night. Inexplicable way the driver stopped, did not we agree that it carried through the two men on the train, when the observation of those two men's words and deeds, feeling just ordinary passengers, unlike Dairen. Then the driver dissatisfaction with the conduct of the driver also realize that the wrong, nor do more to justify to the hotel after getting less 2 yuan fare only cost 10 yuan.
At 8:45 on April 11 front check-out, a taxi to the Fuchun Tea House morning tea, taxi drivers are very Nengkan, astronomy and geography can be blown on a pass, much like the Peking Man. Fuchun Tea House in front of National Road, the peak for the one-way street because the road is very narrow, even if this is still a powerful block, traffic police will be under the traffic ban taxi driving, we ran into this situation, unfortunately, can only go down (car costs 11 million). Fortunately, however, take about 7-8 minutes, like on the streets to win the day. Into the Fuchun Tea House, point by 28 yuan and 12 yuan each in a package of snacks, as well as great cooking Gan Si (22 million), 2 cups Quebec Pearl (2 yuan / cup). Dim Sum is indeed very unique, Yangzhou snack Ruin of the "three small steamed buns, and jade siu mai, Melaleuca Yougao" really well-deserved reputation. Relatively speaking, the great cook Gansi a bit disappointing, and originally thought that Fuchun Tea House should at least be able to have their special characteristics and Fu Manlou dishes did not expect to eat much less than yesterday, it is recommended that we should've been Fuman Lou , they no longer point the dish.
After dinner at the door on the streets and bought several sets of hands and feet nail clippers set, the most expensive 5 yuan, as well as 8 yuan and 10 yuan, still cheaper to buy more.
10:10 a taxi to the Yangzhou Railway Station (13 million), bought a bus ticket to the fast Zhenjiang (13 yuan / person).
11:10 start time there is a small episode, found himself a seat on the bus ride went by others. Persuade them to let the seat back to us, the locals are very rude and unreasonable, that the car seats are non-casually sitting. At this time the car seat only 4,5 months, and together with us, the back up of 6,7 personal. At loggerheads over, the drivers and salesclerks finally appeared, and cried aloud by a seat to sit next frequency of several passengers who catch the train. Finally drive, and open no more, there would on the car ferry, ferry when the door is not closed, and who are interested can get off the ferry on the look around.
12:00 Zhenjiang first went to the railway station to the vehicle looked at, in addition to more than 12 points there is a bus ticket to Shanghai in the sale of seats, other trips, at most a refund of the soft seat. Abandoned the intention to train, first in the luggage storage office sent a package (4 million), bought the last one the day the fast bus ticket back to Shanghai (64 yuan +1 yuan insurance). 2-way in the terminal next to the bus stop, 2-way car ride in the end is Jinshan Park, no more cars will be coming.
12:10 multiplied by 2-way (1 million) to open a bus Zhenjiang very slow, not a long line opened there will be nearly half an hour, just under the Shun appreciate the beauty of Zhenjiang. Loaded into the guide along the way Asia and Asia to introduce the window of Zhenjiang customs, I can only send her "Hu Guide," the nickname of:)
12:40 car to Jinshan Temple Jinshan Temple did not find out why should be properly called Jinshan Park, and later engaged in to understand what is going on after all. Bought a ticket (45 RMB / beds), the door was found inside a large site is designated as Jinshan Park, which some bumper cars, riding like a fun project ... I really do not know if they should speak the local Tourism Board is creating wealth or random planning. But look at the foot of the mountain, mountain scenery wrapped Temple is still very good. They want to buy a ticket in the mountains (4 yuan / person), French hai dong, Cishou towers are on the inside, not only to the money of the province can not continue to Taoqianmaipiao. Fa-hai-dong is also a lot of nothing to say, a hole in the statue of a monk, nothing more. Later, board a seven Cishou tower, the tower are the iron ladder, climb better, if you want to shoot people in the photo on the pagoda, you can leave a companion in that picture viewing platform, photos, results should be very good .
14:30 end of the Jinshan Temple trip would like to take this 2-way car back To her surprise, an inattentive car then drove off. A taxi to dinner restaurant in the spring, the driver is very realistic and did not take us around in circles (8 million). Into a question in the afternoon until 15 o'clock opening afternoon city, and only snacks. So bought two packages of meat dish takeaway meat (paperback 24 yuan / bag. Hardcover if it is 26 yuan, 24 yuan is still selling soup packets). Out of the restaurant where the spring feast Street, diagonally across the road is a two way station, not to the station, in front of retro 2-way opened over, ha ha, finally let us take up. Do not know which ride to the station, down the car, casually called a tricycle vehicle to teach you a stroll the square in Zhenjiang, by the way to find a place to eat dinner. (3 million) a walk around town these days in Beijing, Jiang Hotel, the last a bit messy to eat something, which with similar abundance in Shanghai, you can buy arrived with the first volume going gets to retire, make a living of 31.5 yuan.
15:50 After dinner, called pedicabs to Hengshun sauce Cuchang next to the retail outlet (3 million). Bought a bottle of vinegar, or tricycles (3 million), to the station took the bag and found that the time still early, there is a group bound for Shanghai in front of the car, a pity that we have bought the tickets: (.
17:00 made less than a car, it is not directly in Shanghai, Zhenjiang is also another station, as well as the Danyang calling, but also on the more passengers. Drivers on the highway to go flat out, really like the Speed ah, on the road overtaking, braking, breathtaking camera constantly.
20:30 car to Hengfeng Road Station, and our dreams come true on the 2nd tour ended!
