Nanjing Laomendong | 6 AM, the Rainy Alley Blooming with Trumpet Flowers

| 6 AM, the Rainy Alley Blooming with Trumpet Flowers. Have you ever strolled through an old alley adorned with trumpet flowers in the rain❓️ If not, I just want to tell you—it’s truly breathtaking‼️ 🌂 The misty rain veils the alley, while the vibrant trumpet flowers 🌺 bloom even more brilliantly. Their trailing vines sway gently in the wind, petals scattering across the bluestone pavement. Every step feels like walking through a Jiangnan watercolor painting~~ In this hazy dreamlike state, it’s as if you’ve stepped into Dai Wangshu’s *Rainy Alley* 🌂: *"Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone* *Wandering the long, long* *Lonely rainy alley,* *I hope to meet* *A girl like a lilac,* *Shrouded in melancholy..."* If you love such scenes, why not visit Laomendong on a summer morning 🌧 and wander through this rainy alley to experience its romantic charm~~ 📖Tips: ✔️ The trumpet flowers at Laomendong are currently in full bloom, mainly along 📍 Sanjiaoying and Zhongying. Nearby, Zhanyuan Garden and Xinanli also boast flourishing trumpet flowers~~ 🚎 Transport: 8-minute walk from Exit 2 of Wudingmen Station (Line 3) 🎫 Admission: Free 📷 Photo date: 2025-5-21

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's Mausoleum

Nanjing is a city perfect for a relaxing trip. Upon arrival, we first visited Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. We ascended the lush stone steps, a bit tiring, but from the summit, we gazed over the entire grounds, a sense of grandeur and majesty. In the afternoon, we visited the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River Scenic Area, where we took a boat ride to admire the lanterns and experience the ancient charm of the "Ten Miles of Qinhuai." The next day, after lunch, we visited the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. The stone statue path was magnificent, and a stroll through it felt like traveling back in time. In the evening, we strolled through Laomendong, where small shops lined the streets and a chill atmosphere. On the third day, a visit to Nanjing is a must. I chose to ascend the Ming City Wall at Zhonghuamen Castle to experience the grandeur of the ancient city. In the afternoon, we strolled around Xinjiekou and sampled Nanjing's famous salted duck and duck blood vermicelli soup. In the evening, we strolled through Xuanwu Lake Park, where the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains was truly relaxing. On our final day, we opted for a more relaxed itinerary, spending the morning in a cafe, writing postcards and daydreaming. We had a quick lunch of Nanjing soup dumplings before heading back to the train station for our return trip. Although it was only four days, the city's fusion of ancient and modern times left a deep impression on me.
