“The Refined Garden City”
Li Bai wrote 'In the third month of smoke and flowers, go down to Yangzhou.' For over 1,000 years, Yangzhou was China's wealthiest and most cultured city — a center of salt trade, garden design, lacquerware, and the refined lifestyle of the literati class.

内行人知识、必做体验,以及每个地方背后的故事。
东关街是扬州最具历史底蕴的街道,全长近1.1公里,穿越古城中心。可追溯至唐朝,是扬州作为中国最富庶城市黄金时代的主要商业动脉。街道两侧排列着清朝商人宅邸、会馆和民居——每处都有精雕木屏和石板庭院。50余栋历史建筑完整保存至今,包括附近的范宅和数座盐商大宅。
游客到来前的清晨漫步全街。保存最完好的路段在中段——寻找带有原始雕花木板的老式店铺门面。内部的徐宁波会馆极为精彩。在百年老店购买传统扬州糕点——尤其是芝麻糖和桂花糕。
从头走到尾,走完全街。至少进入一处修缮后的商人宅邸,感受庭院格局。在正宗百年摊贩处购买传统扬州糕点。寻找标记古唐朝城门的石碑。
