Fireworks in March descend upon Yangzhou

Yangzhou, once known as Guangling, may not have the reputation of 'above there is heaven, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou,' but in ancient times, it was as renowned as Gusu and Lin'an among literati and scholars. Although we can't experience the literary charm of ancient Yangzhou, the city today is also remarkably different from the past. With the arrival of the May Day holiday, five days is enough time to comfortably explore Yangzhou. Here are some famous attractions in Yangzhou worth visiting. 1⃣️ Slender West Lake One of only two 5A-rated scenic spots in Yangzhou, the West Lake has its grandeur, and Slender West Lake has its unique beauty. The Twenty-Four Bridge is still there, with ripples on the water and the silent cold moon. It exudes the charm of Suzhou-style gardens, yet it has its own unique aesthetic. Student tickets are half price🎫💰~ 2⃣️ China Grand Canal Museum Larger than the Grand Canal Museum in Hangzhou, it has a unique historical significance. The grand architecture and the heart-stirring historical restoration. The 5D effects offer an immersive experience of the development of the Grand Canal.
