Come to Nanjing for the Spring Festival to see the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, this article is enough

Once a year, the Qinhuai Lantern Festival is simply a visual feast, restoring many life habits, humanities, and folk arts of the Ming Dynasty~ It's like time travel I have sorted out the lazy man's guide to lantern appreciation! Just copy it~ 2 Time: January 10, 2024 to April 30 ( ①Tickets: There are day and night sessions, the lights are on at 17:00 every night ∞Transportation: It is recommended to take the subway, do not drive • My lantern viewing route: Enter from the south gate of Egret Island Park Exit from the 4th exit of the Confucius Temple, walk for 12 minutes (there are 2 at the door) Follow the route to play, take pictures and check in Exit from the west gate of Egret Island (there is no dragon at the door) After crossing the road, the Confucius Temple Scenic Area (Dongyuan Bridge, Qinhuai River, Jiangnan Gongyuan...Wende Bridge...Deyue Terrace) Old Gate East is also nearby Enter from the west gate at five o'clock, enter early, or enter late at eight or nine o'clock, there are fewer people~ 【Below I will introduce a few more photogenic lantern groups in detail】 ① Palace Lantern Brocade Lantern Group: Located next to the Lanyi Pavilion in Egret Island Park, the colorful lanterns are reflected in the water, dreamlike. You can take pictures of the Palace Lantern Brocade and the big brocade carp in the water at the same time on the Smoke Wave Bridge (this position~ 2 Dragon Welcoming Eight Directions Lantern Group: Located at the west gate of Egret Island Park A colorful flying dragon comes into view, majestic and gorgeous, like a dragon in the sky. Who wouldn't love to take a photo with this domineering and out-of-the-circle giant dragon! 3 Ao Mountain Guotai Lantern Group: Located next to the Egret Tower in Egret Island Park This lantern group is as high as 13 meters, full of dynamism, perfectly restoring the image of a giant Ao carrying a sea mountain~ ④ Dragon Soaring Four Seas Lantern Group: Located in the center of the Royal Dragon Pond in Egret Island Park Standing on the opposite side of the Spring Pavilion platform, you can take a panoramic view of the giant dragon, and return to Jinling in a second. 【Free without tickets】 Go directly to the south gate of Egret Island Park to take pictures of the Dragon Welcoming Eight Directions Lantern Group
