After returning from a trip to Slender West Lake, I have some honest words to share with everyone, each sentence comes from the bottom of my heart!

1. On the first day we arrived in Yangzhou, we went straight to a hotel near Slender West Lake and had a good rest. The next morning, we got up early, excited to visit Slender West Lake. 2. If you're not driving, you can enter Slender West Lake from the south gate and exit from the west gate, or vice versa. If driving, you can park at the west gate and use it as both an entrance and exit. We didn't drive and entered from the west gate. 3. In fact, there are three ways to tour Slender West Lake: by boat, sightseeing car, or on foot. If you're with children, elderly, in a hurry, or just want to experience a boat ride or sightseeing car, then you can choose those options. However, since she wanted to walk and chat, we chose to go on foot. 4. She has been to Yangzhou several times, so she is quite familiar with Slender West Lake. She told me that Slender West Lake was originally called Baozhang Lake, and because it connects to the Grand Canal leading directly to Beijing, it has convenient water transportation and was made very beautiful. A resident of Hangzhou, Wang Hang, felt it could rival West Lake, with the difference being that it is narrower and longer, hence the name Slender West Lake. Moreover, the landscape of Slender West Lake mainly consists of man-made attractions. Although the traces of human craftsmanship are evident, these sites showcase the exquisite art of Suzhou-style garden construction. 5. She first took me to see the famous Twenty-Four Bridge, which is very quaint. There are also black swans here, very beautiful. But what I remember most vividly is the Wuting Bridge that we saw later. Its architectural style is unique, with the bridge body resembling five interconnected pavilions, colorful and spanning the water. The lake underneath ripples with green waves, and the scenery of lakes and mountains is intoxicating. 6. She told me that the bridge was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty, modeled after the Five-Dragon Pavilion and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge in Beijing's Beihai Park. The architectural style combines the elegance of the south with the grandeur of the north. When we both stood on the Wuting Bridge, we could see most of the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake. What's the difference between the daytime and nighttime scenes at Slender West Lake? ✅1. Different touring areas are open: during the day, the whole scenic area is open, while at night, only certain areas are open! ✅2. Different ticket prices: 95 during the day, 110 at night, and a combined day and night ticket is cheaper! ✅3. Different entry times: the latest entry time during the day is 18:00, and you must exit before 19:30, otherwise, you'll need to buy an additional ticket; the night session allows entry between 18:30-21:30, and you must exit before 22:00; for the all-day session, you can enter and exit at any time, but you can only exit once.
