Bailuzhou Park

🏮"Children, come out to play with the lanterns, we don't need red, we don't need green, we just need a little candle," this nursery rhyme is the memory of many Nanjing children's childhood! The Qinhuai Lantern Festival is no longer limited to the Spring Festival period, and this year it has been extended to May. Why not avoid the peak and the hot daytime, and find a night to enjoy the lanterns?! These three places are a must-visit this year! 1. Bailuzhou Park 🖼Because of Li Bai's poem "The two waters divide Bailuzhou," this place is called Bailuzhou, but what he wrote was about the Yangtze River, which has nothing to do with this place! However, the park's Bailu Island, Jiu Feng Temple, and other relics, as well as the newly built and restored various small bridges, create the charm of the gardens of the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a waterway that connects the Qinhuai inside the Confucius Temple and its painted boats! It has become an important sub-venue of the Qinhuai Lantern Festival during the New Year period in Nanjing! Look, the lanterns are already set up, just waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival!! With such beautiful scenery, how can you miss photography?! 📍Location: 174 Changle Road, Qinhuai District 🚗Transportation: Direct access from Wudingmen Station on Metro Line 3! 2. Laomendong 🏯The ancient streets and alleys have witnessed the cultural heritage of Nanjing city. Here, it used to be a gathering place for craftsmen to hone and exchange skills. And now, it is one of the main venues of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival. Walking into the two rows of lanterns before entering Laomendong, by telling the cultural history of Nanjing, it digs into the folk cultural memory of the old city south and highlights the characteristic charm of the historical and cultural district. 🏮Once upon a time, going to the Confucius Temple to buy a lotus lantern was called celebrating the New Year, and if the conditions were better, pulling a rabbit lantern was even more "showy," and you could show off in front of your friends for a long time. Seesaws, herding goats, and eagles catching chicks were also the childhood fun that we, the post-80s, used to play! Here is the Chinese New Year of old Nanjing. There are also authentic Nanjing snacks and the atmosphere of the streets and alleys of the old city south! 🏘And at night in Laomendong, the lanterns are as bright as day, and the visitors are like a weaving. Along the city wall, the Laomendong exhibition area is all about lanterns! 3. Confucius Temple 📍The Dacheng Hall is in the most central area of the Confucius Temple, directly opposite the Tianxia Wenshu Archway across Gongyuan Street, and the Ju Xing Pavilion (Zhuangyuan Pavilion) on the left is also the most historical building in the Confucius Temple, echoing the Kui Xing Pavilion on the west side. 🏮Every year during the Confucius Temple Lantern Festival, the Dacheng Hall is the main venue with the most lanterns, and this year is no exception. The circular arch in front of the Lingxing Gate, Zhuangyuan, dragon, lotus lanterns, and other traditional elements of the Confucius Temple complement each other. And inside, it's waiting for the "All Lanterns Hold the Moon" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! 📍Location: The west gate of Zhanyuan Road, the north gate of Jiankang Road, and the east gate of Pingjiangfu Road are all accessible. 💰Except for the Dacheng Hall and the Imperial Examination Museum, no tickets are required! 🚗Metro Line 3 Confucius Temple Station, Wudingmen Station can be reached! It is recommended not to drive!

This year, the decoration of the Lantern Festival in Bailuzhou Park is really incredibly beautiful, on a larger scale, and the aesthetics have been elevated to the next level compared to the previous two years!! Actually, the main venue of the Qinhuai Lantern Festival is here, themed on the Ming Dynasty national treasure painting 'Shangyuan Lantern Picture', 68 groups of various sizes and shapes of theme lanterns are set up in the park, divided into five major cultural theme exhibition areas~ The dazzling lights and the starry sky reflect each other, presenting a breathtaking visual feast~ 📍: Nanjing Bailuzhou Park 🚅: Exit 3 of Wudingmen on Subway Line 3 (South Gate) 🕤Admission time: 6:00-10:00 (free) /10:00-16:00 (day) /17:00-22:00 (night) 🏮Lantern Festival time: January 10th-April 🗺️【Qinhuai Lantern Festival Lantern Viewing Route】 Bailuzhou Park➠Confucius Temple➠Laomendong These three places are all close together~

In Nanjing, this ancient yet modern city, whenever the bells of the festival ring, there is always a place, with its unique charm, attracting countless eyes and footsteps. This time, it is Bailuzhou Park, where a grand event of lights and dreams is being staged. It was a chilly night, and I embarked on a journey to Bailuzhou Park. With the fall of night, my heart was full of anticipation for the upcoming lantern festival. The ticket price had not yet risen, this was a rare opportunity, I entered this world of brilliant lights from the west gate with a heart of awe. At first, I was just wandering around, but soon, I was deeply attracted by the scene in front of me. The lights flowed like water in every corner, decorating the ancient buildings, the quiet lake surface, and the dancing shadows of the trees as if in a dream. Every step, every scene, made me feel the joy of the city changing its New Year's skin. The most unforgettable were those lifelike lanterns. They are not only the art of light, but also the crystallization of the craftsmen's hard work. Dragons soaring in the sea of clouds, phoenixes dancing in the sky, each lantern has its own story, each lantern is telling the charm of the national style and trend. I felt as if I was in a dream world, the dragon-shaped installation under the lights was particularly eye-catching. It twisted and turned, as if it would break through the sky at any moment, taking me to the unreachable fairyland. Standing in front of the dragon, I felt an indescribable excitement and pride. This was not only a visual feast, but also a baptism of the soul. As time passed, the crowd gradually increased, but it did not feel crowded. I spent an hour and a half touring around, but it felt like time flew by. Every time I looked back, there was a new beautiful scene in my eyes, which made people linger. This lantern festival is not only a celebration of the festival, but also a display of the culture of the city of Nanjing. It allows us to see the perfect integration of tradition and modernity, and feel the infinite charm of the national style and trend. On such a night, I seemed to see the soul of Nanjing, it was jumping in the lights, blooming in the laughter. When I left Bailuzhou Park, I was full of reluctance. But I knew that this experience would become the most precious part of my memory. Because here, I not only saw the dragon, but also saw the passion and vitality of a city. The article ends here, but the story is just beginning. If you also long to witness this beauty with your own eyes, why not come to Bailuzhou Park in person and become a part of this brilliant light. Here, everyone can find their own touch and joy.
