A wet chilly first morning on the bank of the mighty Yangtze River. This river is called LONG RIVER in Chinese. Rightfully so, as the YANGTZE is China’s lengthiest river and the world’s 3rd longest.
Our room has a lovely view of the river. (Through the rain, fog and smog)
The inclement weather made breakfast in the hotel an easy decision.
The comfortable restaurant offered an eclectic mix of East and West. Made to Order stations readily whipped up omelets, fresh noodles, crepes and more.
After 5 days of GREAT Yangzhou breakfast foods, I leaned more towards the western offerings.
My wife stayed local, which I gladly shared.
A lovely server made the rounds with fresh steamed Xiu Long Baos.
Yes, Please!
RICE NOODLES with PORK BLOOD, GLUTEN PUFFS and WONTON
A regional specialty.
Some cut fruit for health. With some pastries on the side for me. DURIAN MOCHI BALL and CRYSTAL PORK for my wife.
We’re here for 4 days, will surely hit the buffet at least one more time, depending on the weather.
Back to our room to wait out the weather. Maybe soak in the tub and watch the rain. And plan for dinner, of course.
