The Charm of Nanjing

When it comes to Nanjing, one can't help but think of Jinling. Recalling the romantic tales of the 800-li Qinhuai River, Remembering the small bridges, flowing waters, and white-walled black-tiled houses, The stories here are inevitably poetic and picturesque. A layer of misty vapor reveals the romantic talents. Image But, this may be the impression of Nanjing, Yet it is not the real Nanjing! Nanjing, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Has more than just misty rain and romantic charm. It's like a scholar in a green shirt, When you truly step into it, What greets you may not be the gentle recitation of poetry under the moon, But a jaw-dropping experience of the third subject of the driving test. What you think of as a zoo visit— Cute animals, enthusiastic interaction, close to nature, The animals of the Hongshan Zoo— Slacking off, missing, crazy antics. To say what best reflects the B-side of Nanjing's topsy-turvy style, It must be the famous slacking-off animal retirement hotspot— Hongshan Forest Zoo! As a zoo that clearly refuses animal performances and Keeps the ticket price at 40 yuan all year round for charity, This zoo can be said to have a surprisingly fresh style. Nanjing's Buddhist holy sites are always worth a visit, To see the ancient temples in the misty rain, To see the lingering incense in the chant. But, what you think of as Nanjing's holy sites, Only the quiet temples and ancient monasteries after a fresh rain on an empty mountain, That's somewhat of a stereotype. The B-side of Nanjing, even the Buddhist holy sites, Can also be a view of the magnificent Zen halls! Yes, I'm talking about Niushou Mountain! Smoke cages cold water and moon cages sand, mooring by the Qinhuai River near the tavern at night, The romance of Qinhuai always attracts the most attention, Riverside reminiscing, red sleeves adding fragrance, All the talented men and beautiful women change into ancient costumes, Fermenting and flowing in the Qinhuai River, Brewing a bay of mellow and refreshing intoxicating stories. It was supposed to be a place of romance, But, if you really go, You will find, The 'talented men and beautiful women' in ancient costumes are so dazzling with their food that they let themselves go.
