🚩「About attractions」
1⃣Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall
The memorial hall is small but beautifully designed, and it attracts many couples to take wedding photos. There is a reading area and an exhibition area where you can learn about Wang Zengqi's life and interesting writing. When you go out, you can also go shopping on Dongjie Street-Youxing Road. This place retains its appearance decades ago, as if you have returned to the old days, and is very suitable for street sweeping.
2⃣Nanmen Street
An antique street, full of the atmosphere of urban fireworks.
3⃣Zhenguo Temple
On the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is like an oasis in the water and is known as the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda of the South". There is the Zhenguo Temple Pagoda that has been preserved in the Tang Dynasty, which is similar to the Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
4⃣Yuchengyi
Founded in the Ming Dynasty, the "living fossil" of the China Post Station is located on Nanmen Street. You can go in and have a look.
5⃣Zhuhu Xiaozhen
It's a bit far from the city. It's a large parent-child green space park with quite a lot of entertainment options. But what attracts me is the reeds here. Now is the season when the reed flowers are flying, and it is beautiful to walk through them.
6⃣Gaoyou Lake
The lake is vast and it is still the season for hairy crabs to be on the market. You can watch the sunset and sailboats on the West Causeway, which is great for taking photos. There is also a large grassy area where locals come to camp and play.

Gaoyou’s food has been described as early as in Mr. Wang Zengqi’s "The World Has Taste". Morning tea at Chunlai Teahouse, Jiaojiaxiang Noodle House on Zhongshan Road, and Wangyue Restaurant near the Memorial Hall are all worth trying and the cost is low. high. There are also ✅ Yangchun noodles ✅ Shrimp roe wontons ✅ Songzhuang Road sesame cakes ✅ Goose blanched in oil ✅ Cattail meat, there are so many unexpected delicacies here. Before leaving, remember to take some salted duck eggs with you, as they are a local specialty after all.
