Stroll down Huai Nan Road, where vintage Yangzhou charm comes alive! Rows of phoenix trees create a fairy-tale canopy – emerald in summer, golden in fall – perfect for your Instagram feed. Hunt for hidden gem food stalls serving authentic Yangzhou fried rice and 'San Ding' buns, or browse grandma's handcrafted souvenirs along the cobblestones. Pro tip: Visit at dusk when the sunset paints those Qing-dynasty buildings in rosy hues, and let Yangzhou's slow-paced magic sink in.
