Discover Yangzhou's Attractions and Unlock a Refreshing Summer Trip


"Yet they say Yangzhou in June has the finest views, perfect for escaping the heat." In July, Yangzhou resembles an ink-wash painting of Jiangnan, where the summer heat dissipates the moment you step into the city. With less bustle than in March, the cobblestone streets stay cool under the shade of trees, and the leisurely pace, infused with the gentle charm of Jiangnan, instantly washes away fatigue. No wonder Emperor Qianlong favored it, making repeated southern tours here.
