My bf and I just came back from Yangzhou on 5/2-5/4, and we are more touched and still quite like this city. Before we left, we consulted a lot of information and printed it out, and did a very good job of preparation. As a matter of fact, adequate preparation has brought us a lot of benefits. Below, I will introduce some of my own experience in playing to you, to give friends who are going to Yangzhou to play some inspiration. I from the line, play, live, eat four aspects of the story:
"line":
1. hiking to save energy, we are the car back and forth (the train direct only 3:00 p.m. frequency, 63 yuan seems to be, according to the station people said to be 5 hours?)
Shanghai to Yangzhou (high-speed direct): 7:20 a.m., 8:20 two classes, Hengfeng Road bus station, the ticket 84 yuan, 4 hours. It stops at Yangzhou East Bus Station, then West Bus Station.
Yangzhou East Railway Station to Shanghai: there are a lot of trips, the price of 84 and 69, may be more different models, but the road time is 4 hours. Different trains can reach Hongqiao, Pudong, the train station, Xujiahui and so on. We bought a ticket back to Shanghai at 2:20 pm (to Shanghai Railway Station North, via Wuning Road can stop).
2. Transportation in Yangzhou:
Yangzhou is very small, it feels like a district of Shanghai, if the map above the distance of 1.5cm, in fact, walking within 10 minutes, sometimes it is an intersection to the next intersection distance. So call the rickshaw before the best to inquire about whether there is a need, do not he drove to the diagonal across the street, you will be dumbfounded. The starting price for a taxi in the city is 6 yuan, rickshaws are everywhere, the driver said the starting price of 3 yuan, so consider a taxi or rickshaw have to weigh up their own.
The feeling of the ancient alley tour, such as from the Fu Chun Tea House to walk to the Qiong Hua Guan, Wang's small garden walking quite a flavor, not tired and not far.
Yangzhou city, dusty, so everywhere feels gray, especially cabs are a layer of soil, there is no uniform sign and car appearance. But I have not been ripped off. The local people are more enthusiastic, the road is not familiar with more ask is, anyway, the place is not big.
"Play":
My bf and I belong to a more "lazy" people, do not like to catch up with the same travel, the May Day holiday is to go to the rest of the hemp, so our entire trip is characterized by playing the attractions are not much to eat more, get up and go out late at 9:30 pm to go out and go to bed late at night. We also did not go to Wuxi, just want to play Yangzhou familiar with.
We arrived in Yangzhou at noon on the first day, and in the afternoon in the Garden and He Garden, chose to go to the Garden tour, the night bar. The second day of the Lean West Lake tour for most of the day, evening foot massage. The third day of the morning tour of ancient alleys, ready to return at noon (saw the former garden of Zhu Ziqing, Qiong Hua Guan).
I. Attractions:
During the holiday season, ticket prices rose: (
a. Individual garden: 30 yuan, according to netizens than the He Yuan fun went. To be honest, the feeling is general, not Suzhou or Hangzhou garden fun. Like a bamboo garden, there are some rockery, pavilion. Holiday crowd, it is not cool to see.
b. Lean West Lake: admission 50 yuan. We went just when it was raining, more flavor. The feeling is very good, walking slowly along the river, taking pictures is very comfortable, and the feeling will be very good if you row a boat. It's worth a visit.
(SECRET: from the Slender West Lake in the Pingshan Hall Road, North Gate Ticket Entrance to the right, there is a small road, in which live five or six families, not far into the left side of a large pond in a field dike through the Slender West Lake inside the main road, but there is a barbed wire fence blocked, you can go over, be careful not to be hooked into the clothes. But according to the locals said, soon here to a few families to relocate away, that time may be. Heh heh. (If there are people with the tour, rented a boat after entering the yard, drive to the north gate here can also pick up people up, because the north gate of the boat dock is in the garden outside the roadside, but do not be seen.)
c. Zhu Ziqing's former garden: admission 5 yuan, in the alley, very quiet.
d. Qiong Hua Guan: admission is 15 yuan. A less crowded, but very delicate garden. The garden is very small.
(SECRET: the main entrance on both sides of the road to the end, there are half a person high steps, if you can go over, hehehe)
e. Old Street: mainly Fuchun teahouse out of a few alleys casually walk. To the northeast you can walk to the former garden of Zhu Ziqing, Qiong Hua Guan, Wang's small garden. Fuchun Tea House entrance is a street of knives, hanging the first Yangzhou knife brand stalls, very good scissors, knives, etc., oddly shaped to play is also very interesting. Price is not expensive, a gold stainless steel scissors regardless of size 7 yuan, 8 yuan universal combination of travel knife.
II. Bars and karaoke:
I prefer to bar, go to different places to soak the local bar to feel the cultural differences is a very interesting thing. Yangzhou at night, the lively and bustling is Wenchang Square and where the Wenhebei Road, Wenchang section of the road. Ctrip said that the Tianrendian nightclub had closed down. The second floor became a sailor disco bar, billboards do big, go in to see, is a skating rink transformed hemp, the environment is more like a school ballroom. Sailor not far away from a night cat disco hall is good, landing in the basement floor. Ticket price: male 10 yuan, female 5 yuan, excluding drinks. Drinks are cheaper, 10-20, and there is a hall, a stage, and a lot of seating. There are a lot of seats, and the songs are alternately strong and slow, and there are also girls who lead the dancing. What's more interesting is that there are performances in between, and the one I saw was a juggling act by a jianghu artist. Yangzhou discos like to use a little bit of red light. What's more fun is that the square stage, after many people stand up and dance on it, becomes a bouncy pad, bouncing up and down, suspecting that there are springs underneath the board. Really "popping ground" it, popping a sweat. I remember Hangzhou disco bar young people are sitting in the dynamic music environment to chat, no dance floor. Yangzhou is the complete opposite, the age group is much younger, to bouncing mainly, but also like a dating place.
Yangzhou does not have anything like Holliday or Chambers into the scale and chain of karaoke points, they are called practice rooms, cheap. Wenchang Square, there is a ktv on the 3rd floor of the fancy year tea house, small, medium box to large box for 10, 20, 30 yuan per hour. Cheap. The room is not much have to make a reservation.
Three. Bath foot massage
Yangzhou three knives famous, but for us prefer to go to do massage relaxation.
Ctrip users have introduced a few places: Century Star Leisure Center (south of He Yuan), poly wave wave bath (near the West Bus Station, Yangzhou is said to be the largest), Longfei Leisure Center (Taizhou Road, No. 107, near Jiefangqiao, telephone 0514-7360407)
I went to the field of the Longfei take a look at the excavation of the comparison of the whole building is relatively old, unlike the big baths in Shanghai, the golden walls of so much. The big baths in Shanghai are so brilliant and imposing. To be honest, the price seems to be higher, and you can't stay overnight.
In Yangzhou, I saw some foot spas on Wenchang Road in the evening, such as the "Luqin Foot Art Service" mentioned by ctrip users, which was also there. However, comparing down, discover or Shanghai do foot massage cheap, a street can see n more than one, soak feet + foot massage 15-25 enough. Unlike Yangzhou, the most lively Wenchang Road at night above the 5, 6 like, and the light Chinese medicine foot bath will be 50, plus massage in addition to another 20. time is also short, 48 yuan for 60 minutes, 24 yuan for 30 minutes. Originally thought Yangzhou this industry is very developed very cheap, seems to think wrong.
"Live":
Because of the festival, the hotel is very tight. According to the netizen travel introduction and comparison, we booked a month before the May Day Xiyuan Hotel (4 stars, Yangzhou Fengle on the street 1, 0514-7344888) of the three-star double standard of the Meiling deputy building, holiday price from the original 189 price increase to 220. (There, the locals said, in fact, usually, if more than 150 can also be taken down, but during the May Day period, the nearby hotels a few ask, has long been Full, so advance booking is still necessary, even if it is still very expensive), to the room, found worse than imagined, the main building of the opulence is 4 stars, how we deputy building did not feel three stars, more like 2 stars: (...).
The next day, we checked out, because we found a more affordable place. I remember on the way there, a couple of Shanghainese in the same car said they had asked their local friends beforehand, living in the big bath overnight is very cost-effective, the locals will not go to the hotel to get ripped off. Think about it anyway, go out to play the main, sleep is just a moment. They are ready to go to the poly wave tide bath (near the bus station), bath capital 28, another overnight fee of more than 20, that is, do not have to go around looking for hotels also experienced the famous Yangzhou bathing culture, two birds with one stone. We felt very reasonable, not a bad idea. So we played in the back of the day to pay special attention to the bath, found in the liberation of the bridge (east of the city) location of Yangzhou building, 6th floor has a leisure center, the festival is not too many people it, 80 VIP room, in fact, is a TV bathroom and 3 beds standard room. 80 includes a bath, wording back, shoe shine and the overnight fee. So the second night we switched to there. We talked to the owner about the price and got a foot massage for 20 dollars a person. I think it's a good place to stay if you don't have high accommodation requirements. We saw the leisure center above Wenchang Road, also has a similar private room, the price is actually more than 200, expensive. And during the festival, everywhere we asked, double standard are open to 300 or more, and all full. I think we booked the Xiyuan Hotel kind of 220 double standard or cheap.
"Eat":
Finally, the topic we are most interested in, go to Yangzhou to play the main is not a "food" it. I and bf in the departure before the good idea to go to which places to eat eat eat. The target lock: Fu Chun Tea House, Ye Chun Tea House, Roots and Vegetables, Fu Man Lou.
1. Fuchun Tea House:
(Lane 35, Deshengqiao, 7233326). A phone call to the waiter said that breakfast is served until 10am. We got up at 9:30, rickshaw pulled there, 10:00 found that there are still a lot of people. Prices are 15, 20, 25 and 28. The difference is that 15 does not have soup dumplings, 25, 28 with simmered noodles, a few small dry snacks. bf and I do not have a big appetite, two people order a 20, another cup of 2 yuan Biluochun. Waiting time, less than 40 minutes. I feel delicious is the emerald shumai, three ding buns, soup buns juice is very fresh, more than just gravy flavor. Others, such as the meat siu mai, crab meat steamed dumplings feel general. Soup buns 5 yuan a can be zero, the other can not be zero, which is not the same as Ye Chun.
We ate the old Fu Chun, according to the locals said the most authentic. The new Fu Chun called Fu Chun Garden Tea House (next to the Garden 0514-7348748), the same boss, but the locals are recommended that the old one is still good.
2. Yechun Tea House:
(Xiyuan Hotel is opposite) 15, 20 two grades of breakfast package price. Each thing can also be zero point. Eat down, feel or jade shumai delicious, vegetables are very fine with sweet flavor. Soup dumplings are not placed in a small cage, but in a small dish. Gravy flavor heavy, or Fuchun Tea House soup dumplings juice is good enough fresh oh.
3. Fu Man Lou:
(Henan Road, 7344777), less people can not be booked in advance. We were very hungry at noon when we came down from the bus, so we went straight there. 1 o'clock after the people are still a lot. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea to get a good deal of money for a good deal of money. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea. We wanted to order more, but the waiter said it was enough for two people. After waiting for 20 minutes, the food was served, and it was really big. Especially the crabmeat and tofu soup, material is very sufficient and very fresh, I and bf are very like this dish. Egg yolk tofu, tofu is very tender and a little sticky, wrapped in egg yolk and fried together, very distinctive. I have a strong taste for braised lion's head, so I felt the taste was a bit lighter for the Dried Shredded Shredded Pork and Yangzhou Lion's Head, but it was indeed very fresh and had a variety of toppings. The jasmine beer is very low in alcohol content and not too bitter for a girl's list.
4. Caigen Xiang:
(South Guoqing Road) a hundred years old store, Yangzhou fried rice is said to do well, we went to the name. According to the locals, the former vegetable root incense is a large piece of store, now not, was compressed only a front and upstairs one floor. Arrived at a look really, the store is not big, the first floor of a row of photos and allusions to the signature dishes, so we understand a lot of Yangzhou Huaiyang cuisine culture. Ordered the general over the bridge (black fish two eat), Yangzhou fried rice, Yangzhou lion's head one, vegetables one. When the food came up, it was so big that the vegetables could fit into two pots. The fish soup was very good and we drank it all. Fried blackfish fillet is also good. Lion's head well, are similar, but I feel better than the lion's head of Fu Manchu House. Yangzhou fried rice feel rice is rice, more ingredients. But still taste problems, feel light fragrance, not particularly tasty, the amount of people can not eat off.
5. strange hot pot:
(Wenchang Middle Road), famous in Nanjing, here is the branch, I was to see by the way to eat. Feeling there spicy do good, especially strange screws, quite delicious, is the best I've ever eaten fried screws. People like me who don't eat spicy food also fell in love with it.
6. Snacks:
Would have thought that eating in Yangzhou, there will be what a snack street. Found the wrong idea, the downtown area at night is also Wenchang Square, see some squid skewers kebab stalls, nothing more. Wenchang Road is a street of restaurants. According to ctrip users, Daming Temple out of the "beard" a street, are eating bones hot pot.
This tour, I and bf*** spent 1200 yuan (including tickets), because we play more extravagant, Yangzhou food and indoor transportation is still cheap, expensive is the round-trip fare and accommodation. I can think of basically all write, I hope that these eating, drinking and playing experience and feelings of the friends who will go to Yangzhou some tips, but also when we traveled to this time a commemoration.
Yangzhou is still a place worth visiting! Beautiful and slow-paced place.
With a ticket, you can save up to sixty dollars, which you can use the next day
