Night Tour Nanjing Daban Alley

Speaking of Nanjing, friends are familiar with famous attractions such as Confucius Temple, Xuanwu Lake, and the Presidential Palace. Nowadays, with the accelerated pace of urban development, many new Internet celebrity attractions have been discovered by everyone, such as Laomendong District, Dabanxiang Cultural District, which I am about to visit, and so on.

Daban Lane is located in the south of Nanjing. The lane runs north-south, reaching Rongzhuang Street in the north and Shengzhou Road in the south. It is part of the west extension of Xinanli Street and is close to the Gan Family Courtyard of the Folklore Museum.

The "Tongzhi Shangjiang County Chronicles" of the Qing Dynasty recorded that it was "ancient Xiyi Street". It is said that merchants in the Ming Dynasty operated large wooden boards here, so they named it after the word "big board", which is still used today. In my impression, Daban Alley was once very inconspicuous, just an ordinary alley.

On the eve of the National Day in 2009, after construction, the demonstration section of Dabanxiang was opened to the public. It is based on the history and culture of the south of the old city and seamlessly connects with the Nanchaiting historical and cultural block and the Pingshi Street historical style area. , integrating intangible cultural heritage display, time-honored brand specialty catering, cultural retail innovative industries, cultural tourism, leisure and entertainment, and traditional Chinese culture inheritance. The density of cultural relic protection units and immovable cultural relic lists on both sides is surprising. This ancient street The alley took off its mysterious veil and took on a new look, finally making the thousand-year-old alley "alive".

My daughter and I were walking and shopping after dinner. There were not many people on the street. Everyone was in a hurry and went home to busy the New Year. When we walked to Shengzhou Road, a long queue attracted our attention. This time-honored duck shop is packed with customers all year round and queues every day. It has become a scene in Nanjing. It is Nanjing Zhangyun Salted Duck Shop. Nanjing people love it so much. Eat duck!

We walked and watched, and before we knew it, we arrived at Daban Alley. The red lanterns were hung up inside, and the lights were bright. The Daqiao Lantern Market was reopened this year, and there were various stalls selling lanterns. The words are arranged in a row, which is very eye-catching.

The current lanterns have made innovations based on the traditional inheritance, making them more vivid and vivid. The cute little bunny has red eyes and long ears, so cute. The honest calf opened its mouth wide, as if saying auspicious words. Soft music is playing in the street cafe, with indigo gray tiles and green trees, it is indescribably romantic.

In addition to selling various lanterns, there are also many finely crafted small works of art in the market, such as folding fans, vases, antiques, rain flower stones, etc. As long as you search patiently, you can always find a small work that suits you. Toys are both beautiful and artistic when placed at home. I found a paper-cut picture frame that is an intangible cultural heritage, called "Happiness on the Eyebrows". The lifelike flowers and magpies are making spring noises on the branches, which means that I will have many happy events in the coming year!

In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are also many delicacies here, such as strings of tempting candied haws, hawthorn cakes, and nearby shops selling Nanjing traditional snacks such as duck blood vermicelli soup, Xiaolong soup dumplings, and red bean yuanxiao Wait, let those who are tired from shopping sit down and take a rest. Sit by the window and enjoy the delicious food while watching the scenery. How sentimental!

"Looking back suddenly, that person is in the dimly lit place" Daban Alley has this kind of artistic conception. My daughter is attracted by the beautiful lights and wants to leave a beautiful shadow. As an old mother, I adjust my angles in a serious way, trying to take pictures like a photographer. Every picture, every moment, is youthful and invincible. No matter how I shoot, it will look good. I've gained weight recently, so I'd better not show my fat face to others!

While shopping, I took pictures. The night scene under the lens was particularly beautiful. My daughter had worked hard for a year, and she relaxed a lot after taking a walk and started to smile. I really applaud the city government for developing this new neighborhood! If a city wants to develop tourism, it must create its own unique city business card to attract more people to visit. Nanjing has done a good job. This ancient city is bursting with vitality.
