Which one is worth visiting, Suzhou or Yangzhou?

Both Suzhou and Yangzhou are worth visiting, but Yangzhou is better. Yangzhou is more mountainous and dewy, while Suzhou is more subtle and graceful, both with strong Jiangnan characteristics. However, the editor thinks that you can go to Yangzhou first and then go to Suzhou. Yangzhou represents the external luxury side of Jiangnan, and Suzhou represents the inner beauty. After understanding the outside, you can understand the inner artistic conception. This will allow you to understand from the outside to the inside. It’s better to travel to Jiangnan.

Winning with gardens. The gardens in Yangzhou and Suzhou are both famous, especially the gardens in Suzhou, which are said to be the best in the world. The gardens in both places are very beautiful and beautiful, but if you taste them carefully, you will find that they have different characteristics.

The gardens in Yangzhou are almost all private gardens of salt merchants. All the scenery is piled up in the courtyard, which is more flat and straight. Standing in the middle, you can see all the pavilions and rocks in the garden at a glance, which is more in line with the salt merchants' mentality of showing off and showing off.

The owners of Suzhou’s gardens are either officials who have retired to their posts or talented scholars, so the scenery is more layered. They don’t like to show it at a glance, but reveal it layer by layer, and pay more attention to it. Artistic conception, some hidden meanings need to be seen from a certain angle, which is more in line with the implicit, euphemistic and hidden personality of the garden owner.

The prosperity of Yangzhou is due to the construction of the Grand Canal.

Therefore, the canal scenery belt is its key tourist attraction. Yangzhou has also specially built a canal water tour line specifically for tourists to experience browsing. Yangzhou's most famous Wuting Bridge and Twenty-Four Bridge are almost the city's business cards. However, these two bridges are very beautifully built. They are built for viewing and are not commonly used for daily traffic.

The water and bridges in Suzhou all have the typical atmosphere of Jiangnan Xiaojiabiyu, and they are all life-oriented. As the so-called streets and alleys, small bridges and flowing water, you are walking in the old city of Suzhou. The unique scenery combining water plantings and bridges can be seen everywhere, which is very interesting. The ancient palace has little free space and many water lanes and small bridges. These two sentences are really appropriate to describe it.
