Yangzhou.

Slender West Lake, garden architecture and the flavours of Huaiyang cuisine.

Discover
Yangzhou

Yangzhou sits north of the Yangtze yet belongs naturally in a wider journey through the canal cities and refined arts often associated with Jiangnan. Its lake-side scenery, private gardens and food traditions reward a slower pace than a quick stop between trains.

Begin at Slender West Lake and look for the Five Pavilion Bridge within a landscape shaped by water and garden design. He Garden and Ge Garden make a useful contrast: their layouts and details invite close looking. Make time for a relaxed Huaiyang meal; a one-day visit can introduce the city, while two days allow its gardens to breathe.
