Yechun Teahouse
冶春茶社
A century-old morning-tea house built over the water, where you can eat crab-roe soup dumplings, three-diced buns, and thousand-layer oil cakes in a thatched waterside pavilion. It is a classic stop for Yangzhou's morning tea and buns tradition.
Yechun Teahouse is in Yechun Garden beside the Imperial Pier, built along the North City Moat. Its thatched-roof waterside pavilions evoke an older era, and it is one of Yangzhou's best-known morning-tea houses. Signature dishes include crab-roe soup dumplings, three-diced buns, thousand-layer oil cakes, jade siumai, braised dried tofu shreds, and Kuilongzhu tea. The cost is about 60–100 yuan per person. On weekend mornings expect lines, so arrive before 7 a.m. or take a number in advance. There are also several other branches around the city. After eating, you can board a boat at the Imperial Pier to Slender West Lake, or walk to Tianning Temple.
