#tripblazers #couplestrip #nanjing If you are planning a trip to Nanjing, then now is the time to go. Currently they are holding their annual lantern festival, where the streets of Confucius temple and Laomendong are lit up with beautiful displays. At night is the best time to see them, but be prepared for crowds and hiked up prices - if you want to eat before your visit, best to do so a little outside of the tourist areas.

Nanjing old door east, quieter than Lijiang, no Lijiang. Every time I go to Nanjing, the Qinhuai River Confucius Temple is crowded with people, but this time, Amway has a new attraction: Old Gate East. Do you think the name is a bit strange and a bit sloppy? This is because the old gate is located in the south gate of Nanjing City, which is east of Zhonghua Gate, so it is called Jingdong and is also an important part of the Qinhuai scenery belt of Nanjing Confucius Temple. The time of May 1st, Hunchun, is the season of roses blossoming, the shadows of the old gates can be seen everywhere, and some even climb the entire wall, with the architecture of the Republic of China, it really feels like it has passed. A century ago. Old Gate East is a gathering place for traditional residential houses in Nanjing. Since ancient times, it has been a gathering place of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, a gathering of humanities, and a place where the family of the family lived. Therefore, it is a place where gorgeous houses and old houses are everywhere. Of course, these old houses have now changed their face to become shopfronts, each with its own characteristics. Compared with the Qinhuai River Confucius Temple, it is really quiet here. Even on weekends, there are not many people on the main street. When you turn into the alley, it will be quieter. The beautifully decorated literary teahouses and coffee shops are everywhere, so you can sit down and have a drink at any time. Small holiday is coming. You don't have to go to a distant place to crowd people. Here you can talk about poetry and leisure, make a girlfriend, bring a girlfriend, a Hanfu, an ancient style, a folk style, and come to the old gate. Hey!

Because it is located to the east of Nanjing's southern gate, it is known as 'Men Dong'. The scenic area is free to visit and is one of the must-visit spots in Nanjing. Laomendong has always been a gathering place for the cloud valleys of the south of the Yangtze River, a hub of culture, and a residence for prestigious families. The district has introduced studios, century-old shops, cultural entertainment, etc., on the basis of retaining historical buildings and cultural relics, becoming a cultural district that integrates historical culture, leisure entertainment, and tourist landscapes. There is currently a lantern festival, and it is very beautiful at night, where you can take photos and check in for free.

I've always believed that the annual highlight of Old Gate East is not the colorful lanterns during the Spring Festival, nor the blooming of wisteria and fragrant flowers in early spring, but the season when this old southern city with Ming and Qing architecture is filled with roses! Strolling through the quaint and winding alleys, you can see the old carved doors and windows, tile roofs, and eaves corners, all adorned with bright roses, adding a romantic touch. This unique scenery attracts a large number of tourists, and early in the morning, the rose walls are surrounded by people taking photos and checking in.

I never expected‼️ In the center of Nanjing, there hides such a sea of azaleas||April in the world of mortals, nothing is more beautiful than the azaleas! The Yingshanhong (azaleas) in Laomendong have reached their peak blooming period this year 🌸 Duration: End of March to early May Following the Ming city wall in Laomendong towards the east, the azaleas are in full bloom on the small slopes inside the wall, stretching for about 400 meters. These days are the peak of the blooming period, a fiery red expanse, truly living up to the name 'Yingshanhong'. 📍 Address: Laomendong 🗺️ Navigation: Locate the elementary section of Nanjing Qinhuai Foreign Languages School in Laomendong, or enter through the main gate of Laomendong archway and go straight until you reach the city wall, then turn left and keep walking to the end~ Remember to climb up the slope to see, just keep walking forward. 🚇 Transportation: 10 minutes walk from Wudingmen Station on Subway Line 3

| At seven in the morning in Laomendong, I dream back to the city of Jinling. Nanjing | At seven in the morning in Laomendong, I dream back to the city of Jinling. Recently, because of my interest in wisteria, I frequently visit Laomendong. Although the wisteria did not bloom well this year, and the 'wisteria cat' is no longer seen, it does not affect my special affection for Laomendong. To you, this place is a tourist spot; to me, it is a trove of memories. Even if there are not many genuine antique buildings, it does not stop those who understand the emotional code from unlocking the channel of memories. The presence of daily life can also be nostalgic. If you have the chance, you must come to Laomendong in the morning, especially after the rain for a different feeling. It's as if you are in another sky, cleansing all the noise and unrest. Every stone slab and every wall in Laomendong has a story, even the colors become soft and profound under the rendering of rainwater. I really like to immerse myself in such a hazy atmosphere. A gentle breeze blows as if from another lifetime, and one can be very comfortable alone. Nanjing city itself is a piece of history—the more you understand it, the more you will like it. All materials were shot within a week. Preview: The fragrant wood flowers and azaleas of Laomendong will be coming soon
