扬州东莞古渡 - 票价、运营时间、交通和亮点

Dongguan Gudu in Yangzhou (扬州东关古渡), a scenic spot along the ancient Grand Canal, holds a significant place in the history of this charming city. In ancient times, this site served as a crucial ferry crossing on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a new city was constructed on the eastern side of the old Yangzhou, complete with seven city gates. The eastern one was known as Lijin Gate, or commonly referred to as Dongguan (Eastern Pass). Many travelers entering and exiting Yangzhou from the north crossed through Dongguan, making it a vibrant witness to the salt and grain transportation activities of the time.
