🌙Dreamlike light and shadow! Hongjiang Ancient Town is a beautiful place to check in at night

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 🌙Dreamlike light and shadow! Hongjiang Ancient Town's stunning nighttime check-in guide Family members! During the day, Hongjiang Ancient Town is a simple "Ming and Qing Dynasty painting", but at night 🌃 it transforms into a colorful dream world! Ancient buildings and neon lights complement each other, and every frame is like a movie scene that travels through time and space. 🎬 Collect this night view guide and experience a different kind of Hongjiang romance~ 🌠 Night view highlights revealed As night falls, the "hidden copy" of Hongjiang Ancient Town is officially opened. The red lanterns on the city wall are lit up one after another, and are reflected on the surface of the Yuanjiang River. Amid the rippling water, the entire ancient town seems to be floating in the galaxy. The most shocking thing is the **"Yuanshui Painting Scroll" light and shadow show**! Using 3D projection technology, the historical stories of the ancient town are projected onto the wall. The scenes of warships breaking through the waves and merchants coming and going are lifelike, making people stop and marvel❗️ 📸 Top list of film-making destinations • Bluestone Main Street: The ancient buildings on both sides are hung with warm yellow lanterns. Strolling through it, the light and shadow dance on the walls, and any photo you take is an ancient style blockbuster. 📷 It is recommended to wear Hanfu or dark-colored clothing for a more atmospheric feel! • Along the Yuan River: The brightly lit ancient town and the reflection of the river complement each other. Paddling a small boat into the night is definitely a "killer" picture for your circle of friends🌉 • Yuebolou Teahouse Terrace: The best viewing point for a panoramic view of the ancient town! Make a pot of tea, enjoy the river breeze, and watch the twinkling lights of thousands of houses. It's a great pleasure. ⏰ Night view opening hours & tickets The night lights are usually turned on between 19:00 and 22:00. It is recommended to arrive half an hour in advance so that you can enjoy the transitional beauty of dusk and grab a good seat! The good news is that you don’t need to buy extra tickets for night tours 🎫 You can enter and exit freely with your daytime ticket, which is very cost-effective! 🍢 Nighttime Food Guide How can you enjoy the night view without delicious food? The ancient town night market is super lively 🔥 You must try the grilled blood duck skewers, the charred skin is paired with tender duck meat, it’s super satisfying to take a bite! There is also sweet wine cake, which is a soft and sticky glutinous rice ball soaked in sweet rice wine, which warms the stomach and relieves greasiness. When you are tired of shopping, just find a small restaurant by the river, order a few Huaihua specialties, and enjoy them with the river view. You will feel extremely happy! 💡 Intimate Tips • The street lights are dim at night, so wear comfortable and non-slip shoes and be careful of slippery cobblestone roads. • The light show is crowded during the peak season, so it is recommended to check the show time in advance and grab a front row seat! • Bring your own fill light device or phone stand to take better photos of night scenes📱 The night in Hongjiang Ancient Town has both the charm of an ancient town and the splendor of modern light and shadow! Whether it's a date, a family outing, or a walk alone, you can be moved~ Come to this "night treasure" and encounter your own romance💖
