Nanjing Summer Night Tour Map—Don't miss the last May of the Qinhuai Lantern Festival!!

🏮"Children, come out to play with the lanterns, we don't need red, we don't need green, we just need a little candle," this nursery rhyme is the memory of many Nanjing children's childhood! The Qinhuai Lantern Festival is no longer limited to the Spring Festival period, and this year it has been extended to May. Why not avoid the peak and the hot daytime, and find a night to enjoy the lanterns?! These three places are a must-visit this year! 1. Bailuzhou Park 🖼Because of Li Bai's poem "The two waters divide Bailuzhou," this place is called Bailuzhou, but what he wrote was about the Yangtze River, which has nothing to do with this place! However, the park's Bailu Island, Jiu Feng Temple, and other relics, as well as the newly built and restored various small bridges, create the charm of the gardens of the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a waterway that connects the Qinhuai inside the Confucius Temple and its painted boats! It has become an important sub-venue of the Qinhuai Lantern Festival during the New Year period in Nanjing! Look, the lanterns are already set up, just waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival!! With such beautiful scenery, how can you miss photography?! 📍Location: 174 Changle Road, Qinhuai District 🚗Transportation: Direct access from Wudingmen Station on Metro Line 3! 2. Laomendong 🏯The ancient streets and alleys have witnessed the cultural heritage of Nanjing city. Here, it used to be a gathering place for craftsmen to hone and exchange skills. And now, it is one of the main venues of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival. Walking into the two rows of lanterns before entering Laomendong, by telling the cultural history of Nanjing, it digs into the folk cultural memory of the old city south and highlights the characteristic charm of the historical and cultural district. 🏮Once upon a time, going to the Confucius Temple to buy a lotus lantern was called celebrating the New Year, and if the conditions were better, pulling a rabbit lantern was even more "showy," and you could show off in front of your friends for a long time. Seesaws, herding goats, and eagles catching chicks were also the childhood fun that we, the post-80s, used to play! Here is the Chinese New Year of old Nanjing. There are also authentic Nanjing snacks and the atmosphere of the streets and alleys of the old city south! 🏘And at night in Laomendong, the lanterns are as bright as day, and the visitors are like a weaving. Along the city wall, the Laomendong exhibition area is all about lanterns! 3. Confucius Temple 📍The Dacheng Hall is in the most central area of the Confucius Temple, directly opposite the Tianxia Wenshu Archway across Gongyuan Street, and the Ju Xing Pavilion (Zhuangyuan Pavilion) on the left is also the most historical building in the Confucius Temple, echoing the Kui Xing Pavilion on the west side. 🏮Every year during the Confucius Temple Lantern Festival, the Dacheng Hall is the main venue with the most lanterns, and this year is no exception. The circular arch in front of the Lingxing Gate, Zhuangyuan, dragon, lotus lanterns, and other traditional elements of the Confucius Temple complement each other. And inside, it's waiting for the "All Lanterns Hold the Moon" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! 📍Location: The west gate of Zhanyuan Road, the north gate of Jiankang Road, and the east gate of Pingjiangfu Road are all accessible. 💰Except for the Dacheng Hall and the Imperial Examination Museum, no tickets are required! 🚗Metro Line 3 Confucius Temple Station, Wudingmen Station can be reached! It is recommended not to drive!
