"Wild grass and flowers by Zhuque Bridge, the setting sun at the entrance of Wuyi Lane"—as Liu Yuxi's poem reappears before my eyes, the entire street is filled with the charm of the Tang and Song dynasties!

- A replica of the Liu Yuxi poem stele at the entrance of the alley is perfect for photos at sunset
✅ Qinhuai River Cruise:
- Best night cruise hours: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (lights on)
- Route: Confucius Temple Pier → Bailuzhou Park round-trip

💡 Practical Tips
⌚ Recommended time: Visit after 5:00 PM in the summer. Daytime heat is intense, and there's no sunblock on Confucius Temple Pedestrian Street.

Standing on Wende Bridge, with modern neon lights on your left and the rhythm of Tang and Song poetry on your right, this sense of time and space can only be felt at Confucius Temple!
