Old East Gate | An Alley Laden with Stories of Time.

As night falls on the eastern gate, the world is alive with noise and bustle, an endless stream of humanity. The Old East Gate retains the most characteristic ancient architectural style of Nanjing, and its charm at night lies not only in the dazzling brilliance of lights but also in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Strolling along the ancient bluestone pavement is like walking into an open-air museum. The wooden doors are mottled, the carvings have faded, and at the end stands the Ming city wall, which has survived more than 650 years. Wandering through the alleyways, one can feel the marks left by the passage of time. The Old East Gate may not seem large, but its streets and lanes crisscross in complex patterns, and every seemingly inconspicuous place may hide a story of the ages. The best way to visit is to slow down, take a leisurely walk, and listen to the voices of history.
