It's a bustling place and a good place to spend money. It should really be called "Slender West Lake".
This poem was written by Wang Ling, a poet in Qing Dynasty. It was originally named Yongbao River, also known as Slender West Lake. The name of "Slender West Lake" was first recorded in "Preface to Yangzhou Proposal" written by Wuqi in the early Qing Dynasty: "There is a river in the north of the city, which leads to Pingshan Hall. It is called Slender West Lake, and its real name is Hu Bao."
In the first year of Qianlong (AD 1736), Wang Ling, a poet from Qiantang (now Hangzhou), came to Yangzhou. After enjoying the beautiful scenery here, he wrote this poem by comparing it with the West Lake in his hometown. This poem describes the scenery and prosperity around Slender West Lake. In the poet's eyes, Yangzhou is as prosperous as Hangzhou, so it is called "selling golden pots". Compared with the West Lake in Hangzhou, the name Slender West Lake is really appropriate.
The original text is as follows:

History of Slender West Lake:
Slender West Lake is a strip landscape composed of towns in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has always maintained an interactive relationship with the Grand Canal.
Formerly known as Hu Bao, salt industry flourished in Yangzhou during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. The Slender West Lake has built many pavilions on the east and west banks because of its long history, siltation in the middle of the lake and dredging at the expense of salt merchants.
