Tucked in Yangzhou's ancient alleyways, Jie Nan Shu Wu is a living time capsule of Qing Dynasty literati culture. This "library mansion" dazzles with its harmonious garden-study layout, where scholars once debated under intricately carved beams. Don't miss the celestial well at its heart – when sunlight filters through lattice windows, you'll understand why it's called "Huai's Premier House of Letters". Pro tip: Pair your visit with nearby tea houses; sipping Kuilongzhu tea amidst antique bookshelves offers the ultimate Yangzhou slow-living experience.
