Slender West Lake

It's best to come to Yangzhou on weekdays, otherwise the weekend experience may not be as good. The main purpose of visiting Yangzhou is to eat and play. In the morning, arrange to have morning tea. We recommend the Garden Teahouse or Ye Chun on Yanfu Road (after eating, you can take a walk nearby, there are sightseeing boats and the Tianci Zen Temple). If you want something more upscale, you can go to Quyuan for morning tea, which is right next to Shouxihu Lake. For lunch or dinner, you can find a restaurant to try Huaiyang cuisine. We recommend Yangzhou Banquet, Pingshan Banquet, Yangzhou Lion Tower, Xishi Tower, etc. As for places to visit, start with Daming Temple, then go to Shouxihu Lake, Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, He Garden. Yangzhou is a place for slow living, so take your time to savor it.

Slender West Lake is located in the northwest of Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province. It's a beautiful park with gardens, temples and pagodas. 🦢🏞️🏯 The history is also very interesting and many sings are biliangual in Chinese and English. It is known for its narrow waterways (so the name slander) that connect gardens, bridges and the area's numerous picturesque spots. Great for taking pictures! 📸 My favorite spot was the bridge on picture 1, so nice. 🎟️ Ticket is about 100RMB, year card is also available #bucketlistreboot #yangzhou #yangzhoutravel #chinatravel #jiangsu #slenderwestlake

It is similar to most of the Chinese lake parks 🎋🌳. Those who have more interest into Chinese culture, monuments, gardens and architecture is a great place to explore 🎍. You can either explore the park by walking or by boat ride ⛵️. I heard its more beautiful in spring with blossoms.🌺🌻 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Slender West Lake park in Jiangsu is a gorgeous scenic spot you should visit. You can either take a long walk around the lake, enjoying the scenery and cultural spots, or take a long and beautiful ride in the boats.

Visiting Slender West Lake in March is so worth it! The first day in the morning, I went with a tour group. Since it was a drop-in group with many people, we originally went late, and after waiting for others, we entered the park from the West Gate at nearly 10:00. The park was packed with people. We took a boat to Xiao Jinshan and then walked back to the West Gate, covering only about one-tenth of the attractions. The scenery was so beautiful that I was left wanting more! The next day, I bought a ticket online for 90 yuan by myself, entered the park from the South Gate at 7:30 in the morning, and followed the 'audio guide' map tour. I walked, listened, watched, and took photos all the way, fully enjoying the scenery. I exited the park from the North Gate at 10:30, concluding the tour and making up for the regret. The public transportation in Yangzhou is very convenient, allowing access to any scenic spot. For a trip to Yangzhou, going on your own is the best choice!

I've compiled a list of must-visit spots around Slender West Lake, so you can plan your own walking route according to your situation~ In the fireworks-laden March, come visit the garden in Yangzhou, oh! Wuting Bridge The original name of Wuting Bridge is Lotus Bridge. It features five square pavilions with pointed corners, memorable both in design and color. The scenery is beautiful with willows in spring and frosty snow in winter, daylight brings sunshine, and night brings bright moonlight, making it a picturesque sight in all seasons. Here you can buy creative ice cream for a check-in (beautiful for photos and quite delicious with a creamy taste, but it costs 18 yuan!) Diaoyutai The yellow pavilion facing Wuting Bridge in the middle of the lake is Diaoyutai. Its color is vibrant and eye-catching, and it looks great from every angle. Twenty-Four Bridge On a moonlit night by the Twenty-Four Bridge, where is the lady who teaches flute playing? Many people visit Slender West Lake just for this line of poetry by Du Mu. The bridge is located to the west of Wuting Bridge, with its white marble railings elegant and graceful, exuding its own charm. White Pagoda The Yangzhou White Pagoda, modeled after the White Pagoda in Beijing's Beihai Park, has a slender and graceful outline, and compared to the Beihai Pagoda, it possesses more of the delicate beauty of the Jiangnan region. Xiao Jinshan Xiao Jinshan, originally named Changchun Ridge, is a small island surrounded by water in Slender West Lake. Here you can see the Fengting Pavilion, Chuitai Terrace, and Moon Viewing spots. Sitting in the Fengting Pavilion and listening to the wind chimes tinkling at the eaves is truly relaxing. Xu Garden Xu Garden is built on the former site of 'Peach Blossom Dock', located at the north end of the willow-lined causeway of Slender West Lake. It contains the Listening to Orioles Hall, Spring Grass Pond Pavilion, and Shufeng Pavilion, making it a charming garden within a garden. Lakeside Plum Grove Before the cherry blossoms bloom, enjoy the plum blossoms at Slender West Lake. There is a large plum grove on the lake (not far from the north gate), and the flowers are blooming beautifully right now. Miniature Water Garden The closest attraction to the north gate of Slender West Lake, this place has many miniature landscapes, each with its own exquisite beauty. P.S. There's a great spot here to take a photo of the Qiling Pagoda of Daming Temple - any casual snap looks good. I entered from the west gate and exited from the south gate, and by strolling along, I was able to see most of the check-in points. The route from the north gate to the south gate is also OK, with no need to backtrack, making for an easy visit. Slender West Lake is a place where you can enjoy flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, cool breezes in summer, and snow in winter. It's a great place to take a leisurely walk any time of the year.
