The opening of a high-speed railway in Jiangsu has ended the history that five cities in northern Jiangsu have no access to high-speed railways, and the scenery along the way is rich in food.

Good news. At present, another high-speed railway from Huai 'an to Dantu in Jiangsu Province has started operation. With the opening of this section, the entire Lianzhen high-speed railway has been connected. This is a high-speed rail line that many people in Jiangsu have been looking forward to for six years, especially in many cities in northern Jiangsu. After all, after the opening of this high-speed rail, it will end the history that Huai 'an, Lianyungang, Taizhou, Suqian and Yancheng have no high-speed rail.

It is reported that Lianzhen High-speed Railway is 35 km long, with 16 stations along the line, including Lianyungang, Huai 'an, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other famous tourist cities. As an important part of the Yangtze River Delta railway network, with the opening of Lianzhen High-speed Railway, it has greatly facilitated the travel of many cities in northern Jiangsu. For example, the shortest time from Yangzhou to Shanghai is only 1 hour and 51 minutes, which saves a lot of time compared with previous trips.

In addition to facilitating the travel of urban residents along the route, the beautiful food along Lianzhen High-speed Railway also appeals to travelers. For example, you can start from Shanghai, eat a bowl of pot cover noodles in Zhenjiang in the morning, then go to Yangzhou to taste the authentic flavor of the food capital of the world, and finally reach Huai 'an, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and Lianyungang, where Huaguoshan is located. In short, this is a high-speed rail route that is completely in line with weekend holidays.

The first stop for punching in: Zhenjiang

For most travelers in Zhenjiang, it may be because of the Golden Mountain Temple of the White Snake, but in fact, the scenic spots in Zhenjiang are more than the Golden Mountain Temple, where you can also see the quaint Xijindu Ancient Street, Jinshan, Jiao Shan and Beigushan scenic spots in the north, Nanshan in the south, Pearl Buck's former residence, Dongwu Tieweng City in the Three Kingdoms and other rich historical sites.

Of course, in addition to the rich scenic spots, the food here in Zhenjiang also has its own flavor. For example, there are three eccentrics in Zhenjiang, namely, "the vinegar is not bad, the meat is not cooked properly, and the pot cover is cooked in the noodle soup", which refer to the three most distinctive foods in Zhenjiang, namely Zhenjiang vinegar, meat and pot cover noodles, especially pot cover noodles, which can be used for a delicious trip.

punch in the second stop: Yangzhou-the only "food capital of the world" in Jiangsu

If you think the historic sites in Zhenjiang are not attractive enough, then Yangzhou, another famous historical and cultural city in China, will surely surprise you and make you full of gains. Yangzhou, once rich, was famous all over the world because of the canal. Now, although Yangzhou is even a minority, it will surely prosper again with the preserved historical sites and the opening of the high-speed rail.

As the only "food capital of the world" in Jiangsu, even in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, you must not miss the rich food here when you arrive in Yangzhou, and the essence of Yangzhou's food lies in morning tea. Although it is rougher than Cantonese morning tea, it is more grounded. You can eat meat and drink tea, dry dried silk, shrimp seed dumplings, emerald steamed dumplings, three-dimensional buns, five-dimensional buns, bean bags and steamed dumplings as long as you have a big appetite.

The third stop of punching in: Huai 'an-the land of "thoroughfare of nine provinces"

Huai 'an has an extremely important position in Jiangsu, and it is one of the cradles of ancient culture in the Jianghuai Valley; It is one of the cradles of Huaiyang cuisine; It is the capital of China Canal; It is also the hometown of a great generation of Premier Zhou Enlai, etc. Although it sounds awesome, Huai 'an is not so famous in the tourism industry and looks a little low-key. But in fact, there are many places worth punching in Huai 'an. The Qingkou Hub and the Governor's Site of Water Transportation are one of the important nodes of the World Heritage Grand Canal. Hongze Lake is one of the four largest freshwater lakes in China. Xuyi First Mountain and Tieshan Temple are also national forest parks, etc. Although Huai 'an is not as good as Zhenjiang and Yangzhou in terms of tourism resources, it is also very suitable as a punch card.

However, as one of the cradles of Huaiyang cuisine, it is more suitable for you to come to Huai 'an to taste the delicious food here. Among the many Huai 'an cuisines, I personally like Pingqiao tofu, tea, small fish fried dumpling, Pu 'er vegetable and Wenlou soup packets. Of course, chowder, miscellaneous grain pancakes, crab roe soup packets, fried dumplings and sesame cakes will also satisfy all kinds of tourists' enjoyment of taste buds.
