📖 Product Overview The Outer Qinhuai River, hailed as Nanjing's mother river, flows through the millennia-old civilization of this ancient capital of six dynasties. Its banks preserve well-preserved Ming Dynasty city walls, ancient city gates, ancient stone bridges, and the ruins of ancient temples, making it the heart of Nanjing's historical and cultural landscape. By day, the Qinhuai River is serene and ancient. At night, the ancient buildings on both banks illuminate one after another, and the cruise ships glide slowly across the calm water, their reflections creating a dreamlike and romantic scene. The 30-minute cruise connects several iconic Nanjing landmarks, allowing you to enjoy stunning night views while experiencing the elegance of the ancient literati who frequented this area. It's a classic night cruise experience that's a must-do for any visitor to Nanjing. 🗺️ Cruise Route Standard Route: Round trip from Bao'en Temple Wharf to Shangxinting Pavilion, passing attractions such as the Great Bao'en Temple, Zhonghua Gate Wengcheng, Fenghuangtai, and the Ming City Wall.
