- 7.94.7/55997 ReviewFree"Confucius Temple Pedestrian Street is worth seeing. There are many people taking boats on the Qinhuai River. Fortunately, we bought a 140 yuan ferry ticket. The queue time is about 10 minutes. The boat is on the 2nd number. The next door is 120 yuan ferry ticket. The visual queue time starts from 30 minutes. The boat is on the 1st number. The most regrettable thing is that our child accidentally dropped the mobile phone in the river when taking the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River, hey! Nanjing is so hot, queue for 10 minutes, sweating 5 pounds!"Nanjing.Confucius Temple/Qinhuai River Scenic Area>100km from downtown

based on 16 reviews"We went at night, there were a lot of people on National Day. There are quite a lot of programs, and it will end in a few minutes. It is fragrant inside. It is to remind everyone not to buy tickets on the same day, and tickets on the same day are not cheap. At least one day in advance will have a discount."Wuxi.Mashan Scenic Area>100km from downtownFeatured in 2024 Asia 100 - NightlifeHighlights: Nianhua Bay is adjacent to Lingshan Scenic Spot, located to the west of Lingshan Scenic Spot. The town is antique in style and has a Zen theme. Beige and white characteristic buildings are covered with green sloping roofs. Doors, windows and pillars are mostly made of wood. The town is dotted with small bridges, flowing water and gardens. It is a B&B town that is particularly suitable for vacation, relaxation and self-cultivation.During the day, you can visit the Zen Music Hall, Baihua Hall, Miaoyin Terrace, Nianhua Hall, Nianhua Tower and other buildings, visit the handicraft shops, and sit down to eat and drink when you are tired. At night, you can take pictures of the quiet night view of Nianhua Bay and watch the unique 3D water curtain movie on Nianhua Lake.Stepping into Nianhua Bay, it feels like entering a paradise, where everything is both dreamlike and real. There are eight scenic spots to visit in Nianhua Bay, including Xushan Grand Zen Hall, Luming Valley, Zen Heart Valley, Ginkgo Valley, Zhuxi Valley, Yunmen Valley, Xiangyue Flower Street, and Youyou Fishing Port. Everyone can find their own Zen lifestyle here to cultivate their body and mind. Attend the "Thousand-person Morning Zen Meeting" in the Grand Zen Hall to gain spiritual and mental gains; there are hundreds of Zen shops on Xiangyue Flower Street, where "one flower, one world", which will make you dazzled and linger; have a delicious meal at the Youyou Fishing Port Pier and experience the Zen meaning of "the leisure of swimming fish is only known by the swimming fish; the joy of migratory birds is only understood by the migratory birds".When it comes to trekking to escape the summer heat, the Luming Valley in Nianhua Bay is the perfect choice. Luming Valley is a narrow valley northeast of Nianhua Bay, with towering trees and gurgling streams.Luming Valley Water Park is hidden in this lush greenery. The water level here is shallow and the water flow is gentle, which is very suitable for parents to bring their children to play and have close contact with nature. It takes only ten minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to reach the secret stream. The stream is hidden in the lush forest, winding down and making a sound. Stepping barefoot in the water, it is icy and cool, and the heat and troubles are instantly evaporated. Throw all the fruits into the stream, and the iced fruits taste cool and sweet.Move the small tables and chairs to the middle of the stream, unlock the "natural refrigerator", and drink the chilled fruit soda "crunch, crunch" throughout the summer. Play in the water, step on the water, play with water guns. The children are playing in the water, laughing and talking, and their innocence and happiness infect everyone present. Look up at the valley full of green shades, and feel the cool stream water sliding over your skin. This is a more effective way to cool down than air conditioning.Take a children's hand-cranked car and drift freely on the stream, accompanied by the greenery and the breeze, and feel cool and comfortable. Unplugged parent-child time, the wind in the mountains, the water at your feet, and the chirping of birds will all give your children a sweet childhood. Relax and bring your baby, free your hands, and give parents a chance to lie down. Drink tea, eat melons, take pictures, chat... give yourself a day of summer vacation. Life is unsolvable, and you can be happy and wild. The summer soaked in the water is no longer hot, and the seemingly complicated problems in life have become clear, and I begin to look forward to every summer. In this place without a ceiling, feel the healing power of nature and recharge your tired body. This is not only a place to play in the water, but also a bridge connecting nature and life. One table, one chair, one summer, one person, one tea, one state of mind, I understand the truth that "calmness naturally cools down".Show Less - 8.14.5/515728 ReviewFrom18.39
