Gaoyou: A city worth savoring.

"The four corners of the world, just a bowl of earthly delights." The charm of Gaoyou is the view of Nanmen Street from the Drum Tower, the salty aroma of shrimp roe soy sauce, the rich aroma of "Shuishangpiao," "Wang Tofu," and "Pupao Pork" in the old city, the sugar painting of the word "Gaoyou" by the old man on Nanmen Street, and the thousand-year-old temple in the middle of the Grand Canal, where you can listen to the Buddhist chants and smell the incense, slowly letting go of the troubles of everyday life. Gaoyou is a city worth taking the time to savor. ➡️Travel: 1️⃣ Gaoyou Station is the first choice.
