This temple is extremely large. However, it does not seem to be maintained well. Plants are withering all over the temple. Next, the temple requires both an entrance fee, and a fee which is needed to be paid, if you wish to visit the pagoda, which is clearly the main attraction of the temple. Worth a visit if you want to know more about the history of China. There is a souvenir shop in the temple, and many washrooms are situated around the temple. However, the washrooms all stink, and are clearly only cleaned once a blue moon.
Location: Shouxi Lake (Slender West Lake)
Decent, But Crowded
Fantastic scenery, making this a must-go whenever you visit Yangzhou. However, the serene atmosphere was ruined by the loud chattering of mainlanders and locals. Would be better to visit on a weekday.
Rating: 4/5
Location: Former Residence of Zhu Ziqing
The house was rather small, and it would be hard to explore around if there are many visitors. You can learn a lot about Zhu Ziqing's background and view some of his famous work. Due to the small area and the surrounding walls, it can feel stuffy and hot most of the time
Rating: 3/5
Location: Geyuan
There is a variety of Bamboos all over the garden. There is also many artificial rocks, which i heard was taken from another province in China by a wealthy man, There is also a mini lake in this Garden. There is an endless maze of seemingly alike rooms of the wealthy family in the garden, coupled with antique furniture. At first, it might seem interesting, but you will find it hard to take any more meaningful photos after awhile as many of the bamboos looked the same. Washrooms are also scarce. Nevertheless, certain sceneries in the Geyuan still looks beautiful.
