Restaurant
Quyuan Teahouse (Changchun Road)
Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong visited the private residence of a salt trader in the 18C, naming it Quyuan, meaning "intriguing garden". Nestled in lush greenery by Lake Shouxi, it is now a teahouse that is famous for its Huaiyang fare, especially the dim sum breakfast. Try the Yangzhou wonder duo – millefeuille lard cake and emerald shaomai – and the five-gem buns. Arrive early to beat the crowds, or be ready to queue.
