Introducing Yangzhou

Yangzhou is a place suitable for breeze, moonlight, drizzle and gourmets. Only when the catkins are flying and the mist is hazy, can the gracefulness of Yangzhou be highlighted. This quiet small city in central Jiangsu is not too tiring even if you just walk to appreciate it. Compared with the ancient Yangzhou, it has faded the style of "having a hundred thousand taels of silver and riding a crane to Yangzhou", omitted the glitz of "having a dream of Yangzhou every ten years and winning a reputation of being fickle in the brothel", and now has returned to peace.

Guangling District: This is the city center of Yangzhou, the location of the old town, and also the concentration of classic attractions.
Shuangdong Historic District: Dongguan Street and Dongquanmen, a very charming old district of Yangzhou, where you can find Yangzhou's special snacks and time-honored shopping stores.
Yunyao: Yangzhou is a city suitable for taking a leisurely walk in peace. The city is not big, but it is full of scenery. The breath of Jiangnan is in the air, with green ivy, red flowers, wooden doors and grey walls, which make you feel as if you are travelling through time.

Best time to travel

As the saying goes, "Fireworks in March are the best time to visit Yangzhou", spring (April-May) is the best time to visit Yangzhou. At this time, Yangzhou city has breeze, drizzle, slanting willows and white flowers, which is the most beautiful time of the year.
Least suitable season: Summer (July and August) is the hottest time in Yangzhou.
