Nanjing Laomendong, colorful dragon lanterns, and the largest zodiac lantern

The zodiac dragon lantern under the city wall of Nanjing Laomendong district is called "Dragon Soaring in the Prosperous World", about 16 meters high and 22 meters wide, with a dragon body diameter of 3 to 4 meters, in the form of a giant dragon coiling and dragon head rising upwards, standing at the foot of the city wall. "Dragon Soaring in the Prosperous World" has become the largest zodiac lantern presented since Laomendong district participated in the Qinhuai Lantern Festival. In addition, there is a group of traditional giant dragon lanterns hanging in the ancient alley, more than 50 meters long, full of New Year's flavor. These two groups of dragon lanterns are popular photo spots. If there are many tourists, there will be a queue for taking pictures. Xuezi also takes pictures at various times. Personally, I think it's very beautiful, and this trip to Laomendong is very worthwhile. Of course, besides these two places, there are dragon lanterns everywhere in Laomendong. Although they are short, they are not inferior in momentum, colorful and very eye-catching, novel and interesting. Here is a share of an ancient poem about dragon lanterns. Spring post Emperor's Palace Song · Wang Anzhong Tongxia Qianwu surrounds the edge of the cup, and the snow on the building melts into half a layer of silver. Don't wrap around to open the Yanfu banquet, the city will first try the Jinglong lantern. ✨Highlights: The 38th Qinhuai Lantern Festival "Light up China's Lanterns and Build China's Dream" Laomendong "Dragon Soaring in the Prosperous World", 50-meter giant dragon lantern, and small dragon lanterns everywhere. In addition to dragon lanterns, there is food. Laomendong district is a paradise for popular food.
