They then meandered through the corridors of Heyuan Garden and listened to some touching tales about this "most famous garden of the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)".
At Fuchun Teahouse, one of the most traditional tea houses in Yangzhou, they tried the delicate Huaiyang cuisine, after which they tried their hands at crafting lacquer fans, deepening their appreciation of the city's culture.
Ms Chen, a member of the tour group, said, "Yangzhou offers more than just scenic beauty; it's the vibrant culture that captivates. The locals have elevated their daily lives to an art form, which is exactly the authentic China we are looking for."
