Yangzhou Slender West Lake Family Travel Guide

How can you visit Yangzhou without going to Slender West Lake? I was always hesitant about whether to take the kids to this attraction, but since the hotel is very close to Slender West Lake and the weather is nice, we decided to go~

🚗Transportation
He Garden → Slender West Lake: Taxi costs about 15 yuan (15 minutes). It is recommended to take Nantong West Road → Wenchang Middle Road, and stop by Siwang Pavilion (a Song Dynasty ancient pavilion, free admission) along the way.
Night tour return: Exit from the North Gate to walk to Daming Temple (10 minutes), or take a boat to the South Gate to return to the city.

Painted Boat Experience: South Gate → Twenty-Four Bridge 60 yuan/person (about 20 minutes), the view from the boat is absolutely beautiful
