Eating is a real pleasure in Yangzhou if you know where to look. The best- known restaurant in town is the Fuchun Tea House, down a small alley called Dexingqiao running east off Guoqing Lu - there’s a big sign suspended over the alley entrance. A plate of ten different kinds of dumpling here costs RMB28; other specialities include doufu gansi (dried shreds of tofu) and qin2shao xiaren (fried shrimps). There’s another branch beside the Ge Yuan. The restaurant in tile Qionghua Hotel is also worth trying, and there’s plenty of noodles and dumplings on offer in the area around Ganquan Lu. Every night until 2am street vendors set up a food street along Ximen Jie just off Huaihai Lu, offer- ing everything from hotpot to skewered beef and puddings. Yangzhou fried rice has become a staple on restaurant menus countrywide, but tastes surpris- ingly like ordinary fried rice - you can find it at eating places throughout town. There’s a slither of nightlife by the canal near the Xiyuan and Yangzhou Binguan. Of the bars,fills, equidistant between the two hotels, is the best and the most foreigner-friend]y; the Banana Disco outside the Yangzhou is very provincial.
