By the lake in a park in Hanjiang district, Yangzhou emerges a uniquely-designed and popular book house— Yishu Light Zhuxi City Library. This architectural gem, inspired by an ink painting by Gao Fenghan, an artist who belonged to the Yangzhou school of painters, stands as a testament to the city's rich literary tradition.

In the midst of late autumn and early winter, Huaihai Road, a narrow street in the heart of Yangzhou is undergoing a stunning transformation as its Chinese parasol trees exchange their leaves.

Now in the enchanting embrace of early winter, Yangzhou is preparing to showcase its ephemeral masterpiece – a carpet of gold painted by the majestic ginkgo trees.

Seventeen enchanting places in Yangzhou were recently awarded by the provincial ministry of culture and tourism.

In a picturesque rural setting, an abandoned countryside dwelling has been reborn as a book bar offering coffee under ginkgo trees.
