A must try when you visit Nanjing,
That is a boat tour around the river surround Nanjing.
Price: 120CNY (Feb/2024)
Duration: around 30 min more less
There's a introduction to introduce about every single parts on the tour trip, but UNFORTUNATELY everything is in Chinese (That's why I vote 4*)
If can't understand then only one way to enjoy it is seeing from the lanterns and colorful lights 😅😅😅

A great place to spend a night, the show performed was fun to watch and the atmosphere was amazing. There's a number of shops here too in the market from gift shops, places to get food and so on, you will easily kill an evening here. If you're visiting Nanjing you should spend a night here.

The river is right next to the Confucius temple and the buildings around them offer a glimpse of the traditional Chinese architecture. There is a walking street here which houses a buzzling market.

The Confucius Temple Qinhuai scenery belt combines the commercial streets and the China culture buildings in a large zone and it is decorated with the beautiful Qinhuai river

The Qinhuai river is an important river to China for the traffic hub. In the night, the lights on the both side of the river will light on, making this city never sleep.

River gives a beautiful touch to the whole place; all buildings design is very traditional and looks wonderful with the river aside them. I tis possible to pay for a ramble along the river on a small boat and the sight is very nice, it is worthwhile visiting this place.

This place has a very nice view over the river and the old town. Unfortunately almost anytime there are a lot too much tourists, so you shouldn't go there just for the river. There are so many other places in the city for that.

A very royal sight. Boat rides of Venice in Europe and San Antonio in USA are unique in there style but Boat ride in Qinhuai River has its one flavor. Surrounded by classic Chinese architecture and the boats decor and styles are unique in their own way. Qinhuai River is a must see if u are in Nanjing or even in Shanghai. As obvious the day and night scene is entirely different and the light reflections in the river make the view even more mesmerizing. The huge twin dragons sculpture on the side wall of the river is amazingly built and very artistically lit at night . All of eating, and shopping places around the river.
