Ruanyuan Road

Strolling down Ruan Yuan Road is like stepping into Yangzhou's golden age! Named after the Qing dynasty scholar Ruan Yuan, this street dazzles with cobblestone paths and traditional whitewashed houses. Tea houses wafting the aroma of 'Kui Long Zhu' tea alternate with artisan shops offering woodblock printing workshops, while street performers might surprise you with Yangzhou folk tunes. Come at dusk to watch lanterns illuminate the street, transforming it into a living watercolor painting from ancient Chinese literature.
