Night Tour of Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River | A Dream of Jinling

| A Dream of Jinling. As the lights come on, I step into this bustling place. The Confucius Temple at night is like a bright pearl. The carved beams and painted buildings are resplendent in the light. The ancient buildings exude a unique charm. Following the crowd, I arrive at the Qinhuai River. The river flows slowly, reflecting the colorful lights and ancient buildings on both sides, like a moving painting. The most amazing thing is the lantern festival! All kinds of lanterns hang on the streets, in different shapes and colors. There are cute zodiac lanterns, lively animal lanterns, and story lanterns that tell myths and legends. Each one is exquisitely made, with details showing craftsmanship. Walking through the sea of lanterns, I feel like I'm in a dream world, where everything around me becomes dreamy. Tired of walking, I find a small shop by the river, and order a Nanjing specialty snack. The duck blood vermicelli soup smells delicious, the vermicelli is smooth, and the duck blood is tender. The plum blossom cake is sweet but not greasy, soft and glutinous. While enjoying the food, I admire the night view of the river, feeling very comfortable. The night of the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River Scenic Belt perfectly combines the ancient charm and modern style of Jinling. Promise me, don't miss this beautiful night!
