Thought Suzhou was already beautiful enough! Until I went to Yangzhou

Always being urged by friends to share a Yangzhou guide, so here’s a three-day, two-night healing itinerary all sorted out!
🍵 Wake up your taste buds in the morning with the fresh aroma of crab roe soup dumplings, and soak in the hot spring pool in the evening to wash away the day’s fatigue
🛶 The rowboat on Slender West Lake slowly glides through the bridge arches, with the boatwoman humming tunes that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time
📸 The weathered blue brick walls and red lanterns on Dongguan Street are a natural studio for Hanfu photoshoots
🌺 The sea of flowers in May is so stunning you can’t look away, and every casual snap on your phone becomes a highly liked nine-grid post on social media
👨👩👧👦 A three-day family trip costs just over 500 RMB per person, even my parents praised the great value~

🌲【My accommodation surprise — Yangzhou Hotel Rundefeil Manor】
Finally understand why so many families keep coming back to this manor:
🏡 The scent of thousands of acres of black pine trees during morning runs is refreshing, a certified natural oxygen bar
🏡 A 90 million RMB investment in Yangzhou Hotel, with all solid wood furniture + panoramic gym, mattress same as Waldorf!
👶🏻 Kids can pick fresh tea buds in the tea garden or dig for spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest until they don’t want to leave, while mom can work out and enjoy the forest view
🚗 Only 15 minutes by car from Yangzhou Station, super convenient for transfers
🐶 Saw guests with dogs running happily in the pine forest, silently noted to bring my own furry friend next time!
