Don't miss the night view of Dabaosen Temple when traveling in Nanjing

Besides visiting Dabaosen Temple during the day, a night tour is also an excellent choice in Nanjing👋 It’s recommended to arrive in the afternoon and first enjoy the autumn scenery in the park. ↑ Check in on the second-floor platform of Dabaosen Temple. Climb the tower to overlook the entire city of Nanjing and watch the sunset. Then wait for the lighting ceremony at 18:30🏮. After the ceremony, visit the museum. At this time, there are very few people, and you can freely take photos at popular spots‼️ 📍Private treasured tour tips: 1⃣ Climb the tower for a panoramic view of Nanjing: Climb to the second floor of the tower, with an elevator directly to the eighth floor. The city of Nanjing is clearly visible, majestic and grand. If you want to watch the sunset, go upstairs early. In autumn and winter, the sunset in Nanjing is around 17:00🌇. 2⃣ Glazed Tile Pagoda Laser Show: The tower projects the changes of the four seasons and the restoration effect of the glazed tile pagoda, stunning and magnificent🏮, a true visual feast👏. The colors change daily; on the day I went, the theme was the Nanjing Marathon. 3⃣ Lighting Ceremony: Held around 18:30 in the square in front of the tower. Queue half an hour early at the coffee shop entrance on the right side of the tower to collect a free heart-shaped lantern for check-in, then go to the entrance. Everyone counts down together, and the glazed tile pagoda lights up floor by floor, super impressive‼️ ❤️ There is a hidden photo spot in the square (photo 2). Using mirrors to create a beautiful reflection. Personally tested, the right side👉 is better for photos. 4⃣ Stairs on the left side of the ruins’ main gate lead to the second-floor platform. There are several private check-in spots here, beautiful both day and night, few people know about them, so no need to queue to take great shots👏. 5⃣ The Nanjing book at the scenic area entrance. Taking night photos of the glazed tile pagoda is even better than during the day✌. ✅ By the way, the En Theater live performance is free for a limited time in November. If you get tired from walking, it’s a great chance to rest and enjoy the show😎.
