Nanjing|This is the Laomendong you have never seen

|This is the Laomendong you have never seen. Nanjing|This is the Laomendong you have never seen. I can't remember how many times I've come to photograph Laomendong this year. For tourists, this is a scenic spot, but for Nanjing people, it hides the original code of a city. Historically, Laomendong was the area where Nanjing's original residents lived the longest and where commerce was most prosperous. One can imagine the bustling scene of merchants gathering at that time: wooden buildings, horse-head walls, ancient archways, stone-paved roads, old flower windows, and the trumpet creeper mentioned in the Book of Songs, all of which recreate the old cityscape. I especially like to stroll around Laomendong in the morning. The stone-paved roads wet by rain have a special charm. Every brick and tile still retains traces of ancient times. Wandering through the winding alleys, you will find that they are imbued with the misty atmosphere of the Six Dynasties of Jinling. Isn't it different from the Laomendong you have seen? Remember to come in the morning next time. All materials were shot on June 27, 2024, overlooking from the Zhonghua Gate City Wall.
