Changshu Station Changshu, named "Changshu" because of "fertile land and no floods and droughts all year round", is one of the birthplaces of Wu culture and is known as the land of plenty.
Speaking of the famous scenic spots in Changshu, many people will think of Shajiabang. Because of the singing of the Peking Opera Shajiabang, the stories of A Qing's ingenious plan, Diao Deyi and Hu Chuankui are widely circulated. This drama eulogizes the deeds of the New Fourth Army in fighting against Japan in Jiangnan, and also makes Shajiabang famous.

The scenic spot also launched a "human history tour" to find the story of Shajiabang and trace the traces of Aqingsao and Guo Jianguang. However, for many Jiangnan people, the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs here are the most familiar ones. The largest of the "18 bays of Yangcheng Lake" is Shajiabang in Changshu. Therefore, tourists can also go boating on this lake, taste Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs and experience the artistic conception of "appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking wine".

Taicang Station Taicang should be called "Taicang on the tip of the tongue". Compared with the interesting scenic spots, the delicious river fresh here is more exciting. Speaking of the essence of Tamsui River in Taicang, it belongs to the "four major freshwater rivers", namely whitebait, shad, puffer fish and swordfish.
Whitebait, commonly known as "noodle stick fish" by Taicang locals, mainly inhabits the waters near the Yangtze River estuary. Silver fishbone is fine and scaleless, bright as silver, and extremely fresh. One of Jiangnan people's favorite practices is "whitebait water shield soup". White whitebait is like a shadow under the water shield, and white egg-white flowers are suspended in the room and sent to the mouth. The lubricated water shield is wrapped in whitebait, which is tender and delicious. The shad is flat and long, fresh and tender, rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, iron and calcium, and it is also one of the treasures of aquatic products in the Yangtze River. Suitable for steaming with scales when cooking, keeping the real taste. The meat of saury is tender and delicious, and it is better to steam it. The puffer fish not only tastes delicious, but also tastes better than shark's fin and sea cucumber. March in spring is a good time to eat puffer fish.
Taicang has a very rich food culture. Taicang meat floss (which should be remembered by many Suzhou people), Taicang waste oil, Shuangfeng chicken, Shuangfeng mutton, white roasted mutton and lard popcorn have all become Taicang's intangible cultural heritage. In addition, Xinmao taro and Taicang rice are also famous.

Every spring and summer is the tourist season in Yangzhou.
Slender West Lake, Geyuan and Heyuan are almost the must-see spots for tourists to come to Yangzhou. In addition, daming temple, located in the northwest suburb of Yangzhou, is also worth a visit. Daming temple was founded in the Southern Dynasties, with a history of 1500 years. According to legend, Jian Zhen, a famous monk, gave a lecture here before crossing Japan. The whole of daming temple is divided into three parts, the central part is the main temple building, the eastern part is the Qiling Pagoda, and the western part is the garden-like back garden-Xiyuan. The most famous pagoda in the temple is the Qiling Pagoda, which is said to have been built by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty for his birthday. The tower is dedicated to the Sakyamuni relic, and Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi also went to the temple to compose poems. Climb to the top of the tower, overlooking the scenery of Slender West Lake and Yangzhou City.
On the east side of daming temple, there is also a Guanyin Mountain, where the "mysterious building" of Yang Di Palace was built. The Buddha statue in Guanyin Mountain is very distinctive, which is different from the temples with "Sakyamuni" as the main image. Other Buddha statues are full of stars and full of moons. Here, "Bodhisattva" is the main body, and four famous Buddhist mountains and bodhisattvas are worshipped at the same time. The thirty-two bodies of Guanyin Mountain are not only uniform in appearance, costumes and dynamics, but also meticulous in handling the characters' demeanor, showing their different personalities, lifelike and of high aesthetic value. Guanyin Mountain is the natural commanding height of Yangzhou. Standing on the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery of Jianghuai.

Crab-yellow glutinous dumplings in Jingjiang, Taizhou are famous snacks in the north and south of the Yangtze River. It is characterized by oil but not greasy, and its skin is as thin as paper. When I first got out of the cage, I was still steaming. When I gently shake the chopsticks, I can feel the soup shaking inside. I inserted a straw and took a sip carefully. Golden crab oil flows into my mouth, which is delicious.
Huangqiao sesame seed cake is a traditional snack in Taixing huangqiao town. It is said that in 1940, the New Fourth Army led by Chen Yi fought a famous battle with the Kuomintang reactionaries in huangqiao town, which was called "the decisive battle of Huangqiao" in history. The local people braved the enemy's gunfire to send the baked wheat cake to the front line, and wrote a magnificent victory song for the army to love the people and support the army, hence the name "Huangqiao baked wheat cake". In fact, Huangqiao sesame seed cake is delicious and has a long history. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, a magistrate in Rugao County passed by Huangqiao, and after eating Huangqiao sesame seed cake once, he was obsessed with it and sent people to Huangqiao to buy sesame seed cake every once in a while.
