Before departure, we went to the Grand Canal Museum, to the Eight Monsters to take pictures of ginkgo trees, and to He Garden to take pictures of maple trees.
After arriving in Yangzhou, we had a day trip to the hotel
What happened is this. After breakfast, we set off from Nanjing and planned to go to Baguai to take pictures of ginkgo trees and have lunch on the way. When we arrived, we realized there was no place to park. After circling twice, we finally saw an underground parking lot. When we came out, we found Yechun, so we decided to go directly to eat instead.
After lunch, I discovered that this is a garden-style hotel, which is surprisingly easy to visit. I saw viburnum, camellia, and maple.
Check in at the hotel at 2pm. The original plan was to go to the Grand Canal Museum. Who would have thought that Mo Zai would be so interested in this hotel that he stayed in the hotel until four o'clock before going out. The Grand Canal has stopped checking tickets at 4 o'clock😭
Fortunately, Bingou Museum can rent Chinese clothes, so you can put on beautiful clothes and take beautiful photos.
Bingou Pavilion is the former residence of Zhang Bingyan, a Jinshi scholar in the Qing Dynasty and a leader of Yangzhou culture.
Ding's and Ma's residence, the salt merchant's mansion, and a private garden. I chose this place for my own selfish reasons, which was to let Mo Zai feel the literati atmosphere of a Jinshi 😂
Children don’t understand blue bricks and black tiles, deep courtyards, and Huizhou architecture. But she knew that where she lived there were beautiful lanterns🏮, rockeries that were easy to climb⛰️, fat goldfish🐟, pebbles that were easy to pick up, and pomegranates that were full of fruit.
Children don’t understand caring services and good products. But she knew that the guy at the front desk gave her a bathtub, and there were drinks in the refrigerator that she couldn't drink, and there was Voss mineral water that she could drink.
Children don’t understand skinny dishes or Huaiyang cuisine. But she knows the tender dried shreds, the soft lion heads, the smooth shrimps, and the fresh crab roe soup dumplings.
Traveling with children is so full of flexibility and surprises. Reduce rigid plans and be good at appreciating the scenery along the way. Yangzhou is great, I will come again next time!
