Slender West Lake is a picturesque waterway that stretches over 15 kilometres, notable for its serene landscapes and classical Chinese architecture. The lake was developed during the Ming Dynasty, featuring elegant bridges and pavilions that embody the balance of nature and artistry, inviting visitors to stroll along its banks.

    Yangzhou has become my top city in China. It's very clean and well-organized, rich in valuable ancient history. I discovered my ancestor, grandfather Choe Chiwon Memorial Museum, highlighting the strong ties between Korea and China. It was a wonderful experience, and I plan to return.Rexchoe on the Private day tour of Yangzhou's highlights tour
