Fuchun Teahouse has served Yangzhou-style morning tea since 1885. Huaiyang buns, dumplings and dried tofu strips are eaten with tea in a courtyard house.
Fuchun is one of the four best-known old restaurants in China. Founded in 1885, it lets visitors try guozao, Yangzhou's morning-tea tradition: teahouse dim sum such as three-diced buns, dagan si (finely shredded dried tofu) and dumplings. The address is 35 Desheng Bridge Street in the old town, phone +86 514 8723 3326. A typical breakfast costs CNY 60-120 (USD 9-18) per person. Alipay and WeChat Pay are standard.

Tips for visiting
- Payment is by Alipay or WeChat Pay; foreign cards are accepted at few venues, so a foreign-card-linked Alipay or WeChat Pay account set up before arrival, or cash, is the safe plan.
- Menus are usually Chinese-only outside large hotels; a translation app (Google Translate camera mode or Baidu Translate) and photo menus help.
- Go before 9AM to avoid queues
