"Old friend, you left Yellow Crane Tower to the west, in the third lunar month when flowers are in bloom, go down to Yangzhou." Every spring, Yangzhou unfolds like a poetic scroll, attracting countless tourists to explore its beauty.

In spring, the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is dreamily beautiful. The lake water is clear and glistening. The weeping willows on the banks sway gently in the wind, and their long branches dance with their reflections in the water. Peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms, etc. are in full bloom. The red ones are like fire, the pink ones are like rosy clouds, and the white ones are like snow, making the Slender West Lake extremely charming. Taking a boat tour, you can enjoy the pavilions, terraces, towers, small bridges, and flowing water along the banks, as if you are in an ink - wash painting of the Jiangnan water town.

Yangzhou's gardens also have a unique charm in spring. Take Geyuan Garden as an example. The green bamboo in the garden sways and rustles in the spring breeze. The rockeries representing the four seasons are in various shapes. The spring rockery is mainly composed of stalagmites, paired with tender green bamboo, showing vigorous vitality. Wandering in the garden, passing through the winding corridors and admiring the delicate lattice windows, you can feel the gardening wisdom of the ancients and their love for life. 

Food is also an indispensable part of Yangzhou in spring. Morning tea is an important part of Yangzhou people's lives. Sanding buns and Wuding buns have rich fillings and delicious tastes. Crab roe soup dumplings have thin skins and large fillings, with rich soup. There is also scalded dried tofu. The dried tofu is cut extremely fine, paired with ginger shreds and shrimps, and drizzled with delicious soup, which is fresh and refreshing. Sitting in an antique teahouse, tasting these delicacies and having a cup of fragrant tea, you can feel the slow - paced life of Yangzhou. 

In spring, Yangzhou has both natural beauty and profound cultural heritage, making people intoxicated and reluctant to leave.
