The Xiaoqinhuai River, the only inner-city waterway in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, reflects the city's enduring waterside charm.
A scenic boat tour is now operating along the enchanting waterway, offering visitors a taste of Yangzhou's slow-paced, riverside lifestyle.
The boat glides beneath eleven of the city's quaint stone bridges, treating passengers to classic Jiangnan views of white-walled, black-tiled residences and lush riverbanks.
Along the way, the boatman share historical anecdotes about the ancient bridges and old alleys, giving tourists the chance to learn about the city's rich cultural heritage while soaking in its scenery.
After the boat tour, visitors can take a leisurely stroll through a historical block that bear the river's name.
Elegantly restored heritage sites, boutique creative shops, authentic Huaiyang snacks, traditional tea houses, and craft stalls line the block's streets, offering them plenty to see, taste, and explore.
