What to do when traveling to Nanjing?

Nanjing is a famous historical and cultural city in China, one of the six ancient capitals in China, and the most famous tourist city in China. However, when you travel to Nanjing, you can visit the places of interest there and see what else you can do with the great rivers and mountains. Here, I can introduce it to you. The most important thing in Nanjing is the Qinhuai Lantern Festival on the Qinhuai River. The Qinhuai Lantern Festival is one of the local folk activities that has been popular in Nanjing for many years. Because Nanjing was also called Jinling in history, the Qinhuai Lantern Festival is often called the Jinling Lantern Festival by tourists. However, if you want to see the lively scene of the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, you should choose to travel to Nanjing just after the Spring Festival, because this kind of lantern festival is most lively only after the Spring Festival and until the Lantern Festival. At this time, people in Nanjing go to the Confucius Temple there to buy lanterns, because there is a local custom that if you don’t go to the Confucius Temple to buy lanterns, you will not celebrate the New Year. In addition, both sides of the Qinhuai River are decorated. Walking on the street, you can see various local singing and dancing forms everywhere, such as the dragon dance where there is no yangko in the south. The New Year is really festive. In addition, the production process of lanterns will be displayed to visitors throughout the Qinhuai Lantern Festival. In addition, some ancient Nanjing folk arts will be performed during the Lantern Festival, such as diabolo shadow puppetry and paper-cutting, which are important components of these folk arts. After visiting the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, you can definitely feel how prosperous Nanjing was when it was the feudal imperial capital. After watching the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, the year is almost over, but there is still another folk activity worth participating in, which is to pray for peace and health in the new year. Every year on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Nanjing would take a sick leave or go to Taiping. In fact, it means that a few friends or their families will go to visit the four gates of Nanjing, namely Sanshan, Shicheng, Jubao and Tongji, so this folk custom has been around but now only Juding Gate is open to tourists. If you want to climb the gate for health reasons, you can only climb the Jubao Gate. This time of the first month of every year is when the weather gets warmer in Nanjing. It is also a good thing to go out and climb the city gate to exercise. If a friend says that I don’t want to travel during the Spring Festival, wouldn’t it be fun at this time? Don’t worry, you can come to Nanjing to see plum blossoms in February, because the most famous International Plum Blossom Festival in Nanjing from the end of February to the beginning of March is also the peak tourist season in Nanjing. Meihua Mountain, located in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, is even more joyous, with thousands of plum blossoms blooming. Not only local residents of Nanjing are attracted to watch, but tourists from all over the world also come here to watch the magnificent scenery of thousands of plum blossoms in bloom. At this time, when you stand on the top of Zhongshan Mountain and look down, there are all kinds of plum blossoms on the hillside, and at the foot of the mountain are people watching the flowers. After seeing so many places to visit in Nanjing, you must seize the opportunity to visit them on the spot.
