Step into Douye Pavilion and be transported to ancient Yangzhou's poetic heyday. Perched by the Grand Canal, this historic gazebo offers panoramic views of the UNESCO-listed waterway, once frequented by scholars penning verses under its elegant eaves. Don't miss the exquisite couplets carved on wooden plaques - each tells tales of the Ming Dynasty. The surrounding stone bridges and weeping willows create picture-perfect frames, especially at golden hour when sipping local tea evokes the city's famous line: 'Two-thirds of the world's moonlight belongs to Yangzhou'.
