Slender West Lake | In March, the fireworks go down to Yangzhou

Li Bai once said, 'An old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, in March, the fireworks go down to Yangzhou.' Although the March he refers to is the lunar March, the recent cheap airfares make a trip to Yangzhou in the solar March irresistible. ⛰️ Everyone knows about the West Lake in Hangzhou, but Yangzhou also has its Slender West Lake. As a 5A tourist attraction in Yangzhou, Slender West Lake is definitely worth visiting. The lake is divided into north and south zones, comprising a scenic spot with lakes and historical buildings, full of the charm of the Jiangnan region. 🌈 The Wuting Bridge and White Pagoda in the south zone are said to have been built to welcome Emperor Qianlong's southern tour, modeled after Beijing's Jingshan Park, while the Twenty-Four Bridge is inspired by Du Mu's 'Twenty-Four Bridge on a Moonlit Night.' Although the scenic area is reconstructed according to historical records, the pavilions and towers are stunningly beautiful, captivating visitors. 🌈 Now is the season when the plum blossoms are in full bloom. In the plum blossom area on the lake, large patches of red, white, and wax plum blossoms are blooming splendidly, making it the most beautiful area of the entire Slender West Lake. 📝 Check-in Strategy: 1. Slender West Lake tickets are divided into day and night sessions. The daytime ticket is 100 yuan, and it is recommended to buy a joint ticket for Yangzhou's attractions, which is more cost-effective. The nighttime ticket is 110 yuan, and only part of the area is open, but there are performances. Personally, I think the daytime session is better during the blooming season. 2. Slender West Lake has three gates: south, north, and east. Once you leave, you cannot re-enter. The north gate has the Da Ming Temple attraction, so it is recommended to enter from the south gate and exit from the north gate, taking the opportunity to check in at Da Ming Temple. 3. There are small sightseeing cars within the scenic area, costing 20 yuan for one trip. The south zone has more attractions and is recommended for walking, while the north zone has fewer attractions, and you can take the sightseeing car if you want to save energy.
