Navigation Tips
A word of caution about dining in Yangzhou: during peak times and festivals, popular restaurants may stop issuing tickets for tables. While this speaks to the city's vibrant food scene, it can be challenging for visitors. We recommend exploring quieter areas away from major tourist spots for a more relaxed dining experience.
