Introduction to Yangzhou Slender West Lake

Slender West Lake is located in the northwest of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is called "Slender West Lake" because of its elongated surface. During the Qing Dynasty, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong visited Yangzhou several times in the south. The local gentry rushed to build gardens, which led to the saying that "the prosperity of gardens is the best in the world."

Famous temples, ancient temples and ancient city walls stretch side by side, and scenic spots and historical relics are scattered among them. The unique natural scenery and rich cultural landscape complement each other, making it a shining pearl embedded in a famous historical and cultural city.
