Nanjing ✨ Amidst the fading lights, I enjoyed a night cruise on the Qinhuai River near the Confucius Temple, amidst the sounds of oars and the glow of lanterns!

#NovemberDestinations2025 Want to experience the true "Nanjing Night Scene"? Want to experience the elegant life of ancient literati? After strolling through the Confucius Temple snack street and taking photos of the magnificent night view of the Dacheng Hall, the most romantic grand finale is about to begin—a night cruise on the Qinhuai River! 🛶 🛶 Board the boat! A romantic journey through time! The Qinhuai River is Nanjing's "Mother River" and a famous ancient Chinese pleasure quarter, known as the "Ten-Mile Qinhuai." When you step onto the antique-style painted boat, the oars gently ripple the water, creating a soft "oar sound," and the lights on both banks twinkle like stars. The whole world seems to quiet down instantly, leaving only the sound of the water and your heartbeat. 💖 How beautiful is this scene? A Visual Feast: You'll see the upturned eaves, pavilions, and towers along the riverbanks outlined in warm yellow light, their golden contours reflected on the deep blue river surface, creating a dreamlike, shimmering effect. An Auditory Experience: Guides on board usually explain the historical stories of the riverbanks, from the former residences of the Wang and Xie families in Wuyi Lane to the romantic legends of Xiangjun's former residence, allowing you to not only see the scenery but also hear stories and appreciate history. A Fulfilling Atmosphere: Especially in the slightly chilly month of November, sitting in the warm and comfortable painted boat, watching the dazzling night view outside the window, is a uniquely romantic experience in Nanjing! 💡 Helpful Tips: Night cruises on the Qinhuai River are a super popular activity in the Confucius Temple area, especially on weekends and holidays! It's recommended to buy your tickets in advance, or queue up to board as soon as the lights come on in the evening, to avoid long queues and smoothly begin this poetic journey! 📍 Location Information: Qinhuai River Painted Boat Night Cruise Experience: Qinhuai River Painted Boat Night Cruise Boarding Pier: Inside the Confucius Temple Scenic Area, there are usually two piers, East and West.
