Don't miss these eight lesser-known areas when enjoying the night view in Nanjing

When it comes to the night scenery of Nanjing, the first thing many people think of must be the Qinhuai River in the Confucius Temple area and Xinjiekou. Besides that, after a whole day of amusement during the daytime, where else can you go to relax or have a different experience? Let me introduce a few good places for night tour in Nanjing!

Memorial Hall of the Victory in Crossing the Yangtze River

At Zhongshan Pier, there is a statue and a Nanjing Yangtze River Crossing Victory Memorial Hall. It is magnificent during the day and illuminated at night, facing the Yangtze River. Next to it is the newly built Red Earth Bridge. This is the entrance where the Sanzha River and the Qinhuai River flow into the Yangtze River. Behind it is the Shimao Binjiang Hilton Hotel. This small area constitutes a natural background composition. Suitable for leisurely walks and photography.

Youth Olympic Park

There are many people here during the day, but there is a more beautiful scenery in the night, especially during weekends or important holidays. The Nanjing Eye, the Youth Olympic Twin Towers, the Youth Olympic Village, including the Jiangxin Zhou Forest Park section, will be illuminated, along with the road lighting in the Youth Olympic Park itself, forming an excellent riverfront landscape.

Xuanwu Lake

Many foreign tourists visiting Xuanwu Lake usually choose to visit during the day, especially tour groups, because it's free. However, personally, I believe that the night scenery of Xuanwu Lake is even better after several years of renovation. From the left side of Xuanwu Gate, you can see Nanjing Station from afar, and on the right side, you can see Jiuhua Mountain and Jiming Temple. If you continue forward, you can see Zifeng. All of these are illuminated at night, along with the colorful lights on the trees along the road in the middle of Xuanwu Lake. It is a completely different experience from the daytime. If you are a couple in the spring, summer, or autumn, renting a small boat to row in the lake and admire the surroundings of Xuanwu Lake is extremely romantic!
This was originally built during the era of the Republic of China and later became an important transportation tool for residents to cross the Yangtze River between Jiangnan and Jiangbei. It is also a scenic route. Since the closure of the Yangtze River Bridge, the number of visitors and residents using it has increased. When the government built the Binjiang Line a few years ago, starting from Zhongshan Port and extending northward, it created a scenic belt with the theme of the Republic of China. It has to be said that the night view here is spectacular, and there is a constant stream of visitors during the day as well.

Olympic Sports Center

Here is a new place to enjoy the night view of Nanjing. The scenery is really nice in the evening.

Qinhuai River

The Qinhuai River is a new attraction for night scenes. Each bridge is adorned with lights, and ancient poems are projected onto the riverside greenway. It is a historical imprint, a changing of times. Walking along the Qinhuai River, it adds an extra sense of longing. The moonlight shrouds the cold water, anchoring near the Qinhuai River's wine houses. For outsiders, the Qinhuai River may only refer to the section near Confucius Temple. However, the Qinhuai River in Nanjing stretches over a hundred kilometers, attracting both locals and outsiders. Nowadays, the lights along the riverbanks and bridges guide the outsiders' path.
