The Magical Nightscape and Lantern Glow

#hellohalloween

The most enchanting experience at Shantang Street (山塘街) occurs after dusk. As night falls, the street transforms into a magical wonderland illuminated by hundreds of traditional red lanterns. The warm, flickering glow of these lanterns reflects brilliantly in the calm water of the Shantang Canal, creating a dreamlike, picturesque nightscape.
The atmosphere becomes intensely romantic and nostalgic. The reflections of the traditional houses on the canal surface feel like scattered stars, living up to its reputation as the "Gusu that never sleeps." Taking a leisurely night cruise offers the best view of this illuminated spectacle, allowing you to quietly absorb the beauty and history of Shantang Street (山塘街) from the water.
