The bus station went west for 50 meters and came to the Qionghuaguan ticket office, Tian Xiaorui and I waited in line in front of the ticket office to buy tickets, and looked at the antique ticket office outside the glass window notice prompt: military tickets are free, students are half price, adult tickets are 20 yuan, and foreigner adult tickets are 40 yuan. Tian Xiaorui and I prepared our student ID cards and 20 yuan, and stood at the end of the queue. Fortunately, at this moment it is the peak period for tourists, and the ten ticket windows on both sides of the Qionghua Temple are open at the same time, although there are many tourists, but the waiting time in line is not very long. In ten minutes, the two of us got two tickets to visit Qionghua Temple.

From the ticket office to the west, you can see the archway supported by four stone pillars, and the beams erected by the two large pillars in the middle are impressively engraved with the three big characters of Qionghuaguan. The two of them walked towards the stone archway. Stand on the side of Wenchang Street to see the Qionghua view, the Qionghua view is composed of the front and the east and west side buildings on both sides, walk into the archway, you can see the mountain gate of the Qionghua view. The big red pillars, the small black tile roof, and the red beams all look simple and elegant.

With the flow of passengers into the mountain gate of Qionghua Temple, you can see the main hall, between the mountain gate and the main hall is a bluestone paved trail, and flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the trail. Tian Xiaorui pointed to the main hall and said: "Brother, you see how simple and elegant the scenery here is, except for the main hall, which is a two-story brick and stone structure building, the rest of the place is basically a simple pavilion with a small tile structure. ”

I said: "Looking at the architectural pattern, there is not only the freshness and elegance of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the atmosphere and pride of the Huishang building, which probably stems from the special geographical location of Yangzhou." Tian Xiaorui said: "What my brother said makes sense. ”

Passing through the main hall, I came to the back hall and saw a shadow wall on the wall, which were four large characters carved on bricks: Qionghua Shengjing. On the brick floor between the main hall and the back door, there is a hexagonal stone flower bed made of white stone, in which a tall Qionghua tree has lush branches, five-petal white Qionghua flowers bloom, butterflies flutter, and bees are busy collecting honey. The five-petaled qionghua blooms into a large flower, a large white flower bulb, which makes people feel that it is a white group of flowers. The blooming Qionghua corresponds to the ancient view of this deep house, the pavilion rockery, the pine and cypress, and the courtyard is deeper and deeper, and the spring is like the artistic conception of the sea.

I said to Xiaorui: "No wonder Emperor Yang of Sui had to come to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, it turns out that this Qionghua is really elegant and fragrant, and it does not lose the beauty of the atmosphere." Tian Xiaorui said: "More fragrant than pear blossoms, more atmospheric than apple blossoms, less glamorous than peach blossoms, less lively than plum blossoms, this Qionghua is really elegant to the extreme and ethereal like a fairyland." I said, "It's worth the trip to see Qionghua." Tian Xiaorui said: "Well, that's it, such a beautiful scenery, you can take a photo of me first." ”

I said, "With so many tourists, it's hard to find the right opportunity." "I took out my phone and asked Xiaorui to stand a little farther away, so that I could see half of the whole Qionghuatai. Taking a chance at each of them, I shouted, "Take a pose." Tian Xiaorui made a gesture of holding her cheeks with both hands, I patted two photos, and Tian Xiaorui was still satisfied after reading it. Tian Xiaorui also took two photos of me with her mobile phone, and finally found a young woman and asked her to use Tian Xiaorui's mobile phone to take a group photo of us in front of Qionghuatai, which was the third time we took a group photo.

After seeing Qionghuatai, go around to the nearby Sanqing Palace, which is a place dedicated to the Sanqing people. In the backyard of the Sanqing Palace, there is a Wushuang Pavilion built by Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty, and it feels like there is nothing special about it, and there is a resting place on the edge of the water pavilion. I took a turn in the Qionghua Temple, and I feel that the Qionghua Temple is a lot worse as Taoist culture now, but the calligraphy and painting literature and art are very prosperous, and there are calligraphy and painting artists everywhere in the courtyard who paint and sell inscriptions. Near the exit, we saw a reminder sign that said: Built in the Western Han Dynasty in the second year of Emperor Yuanyan, when Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou in the Song Dynasty, he built a "Wushuang Pavilion" in the temple to offer flowers, and now it has become a cultural propaganda position in Yangzhou.

Out of the Qionghua Temple, we spent two yuan in front of the Qionghua Temple to buy a Yangzhou tourist map of the old lady who bought a Yangzhou tourist map, according to the map, and finally figured out that our current location is outside the Dongguan of the old city of Yangzhou. Tian Xiaorui pointed to the map and said, "Continue, you see that Slender West Lake is still in the north of Yangzhou." I said: "Look at the tourist map to mark that many buses can reach the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, and the No. 2 or No. 4 we just took can directly reach the Slender West Lake Scenic Area." Tian Xiaorui said: "Oh, let's hurry up and wait for the bus, since the bus is so convenient, we don't need to take a taxi." I said, "Yes, let's go." I held the tourist map in one hand and Tian Xiaorui's hand in the other, and the two walked side by side towards the No. 2 bus stop just now.

As soon as we arrived at the bus station, we saw a No. 4 bus coming, and we hurriedly walked a few steps and ran up to the No. 4 bus. Go to the end and sit down in a large seat where no one sits. I said, "It's very convenient to sit on such a high place and see the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou City." Tian Xiaorui said: "Yes, the scenery on both sides is in full view. ”

The bus starts, and the road is full of greenery, the green trees on the roadside are lush, and the early blooming flowers are already in full bloom. The buildings of Yangzhou City are simple and elegant, with blue bricks and black tiles as the main color, brick joints outlining white gray lines, and of course, there is no lack of carved beams and painted buildings and Donghua's unique red pillars.

The bus travels through the city, from east to north, from east to west, about half an hour later, the bus automatically reports the name of the station, and arrives at the Slender West Lake Scenic Area in front, Tian Xiaorui and I stood up and prepared to get off from the back door.
