Dongguanjie

Step into Dongguan Street Historic District where Yangzhou's golden age comes alive! Ming-Qing era buildings with gray-tiled roofs house time-honored eateries serving steaming crab roe soup dumplings. Follow the aroma of Huaiyang cuisine down lantern-lit alleys, then unwind by the ancient Grand Canal with a cup of tea as folk melodies float from teahouses. Don't miss touching the weathered bricks of the East Gate ruins – you're literally touching 1,200 years of China's canal history!
