For me, living in Canada for 25 years, China is a new world that I have longed to explore. This spring, I c 1 Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China. It was like love at first sight. At 15, I bought a collection of poems about Tang Dynasty. T 2 it, I heard of Yangzhou for the first time. I was deeply attracted by a poem that was w 3 by Li Bai—Sailing to Yangzhou in March.
Yangzhou, sitting for 2,500 years at the crossing of the Yangtze River and the 2,400-year-old Grand Canal, is one of the first 24 historic and cultural c 4 in China. In the old town, there are many streets and houses. It's best to visit the city in spring. Spring paints the city in bright colours.
Yangzhou has always been famous for i 5 gardens. Among them, the Slender West Lake, one of the b 6 attractions in the city, was my first stop. The park with its fantastic landscape has enough to keep a tourist busy for the whole day. What a shame I s 7 could afford half a day!
My next stop was He Garden, one of the best protected gardens in Yangzhou. It was once o 8 by the family of He Zhidao in the Qing Dynasty. He Zhidao successfully brought Chinese and W 9 architectural (建筑的) features together.
Yangzhou is also the starting point of the Grand Canal tour. Taking a boat along the part of the canal in Yangzhou, I w 10 at the liveliness of this ancient waterway and the city's history and culture.
Luckily, my two-day trip to Yangzhou was filled with pleasure. It made me hungry for more China.
