Traveling with Textbooks - "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"

—— "Sunset clouds and a lonely bird fly together; the autumn water is the same color as the sky." I bought a high-speed train ticket to Nanchang on a whim, just to see the Pavilion of Prince Teng from my textbook. When the nine-story eaves pierced the clouds, I knew this encounter across a thousand years had begun. 🗺️Itinerary: Main Pavilion (1st-6th floors) → Riverside Viewing Platform → Cultural and Creative Experience Hall → Night Tour Light Show It is recommended to arrive at 9 am to avoid the crowds and meet the Pavilion of Prince Teng in the morning light. I specially rented a Tang-style dress, and when I turned around between the red lacquered columns, I seemed to hear the sound of bells from the Tang Dynasty coming from the depths of the pavilion. 🏯Must-see highlights: Climb to the top floor of the main pavilion, and the Gan River unfolds like a green satin in front of you. At the moment of touching the gilded caisson, the guide's story of 29 reconstructions suddenly came to life - from the initial construction by Li Yuanying in the fourth year of Tang Yonghui, to Wang Bo's impromptu writing of an eternal masterpiece, every blue brick tells a story. Don't miss the holographic projection theater on the third floor. When the digital light and shadow turn the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" into a starry river, I was moved to tears. 📸Photo tips: ①The "First Pavilion in the World" stone tablet in front of the main pavilion (shooting upwards makes your legs look longer) ②The framed view of the river on the fifth-floor corridor (best light and shadow at 4 pm) ③The "Autumn Water and Long Sky" stone sculpture by the river (absolutely beautiful when the night lights are on) Let me tell you a secret, the riverside tea seat on the second floor of the Cultural and Creative Hall can capture the silhouette of the flying eaves without any disturbance! 🍜Taste of the Pavilion of Prince Teng: When you're tired, head straight to the "Yuzhang Ancient County" restaurant in the pavilion. Holding a steaming crock soup, using Nanchang mixed noodles to wrap crispy stir-fried bacon with shepherd's purse, and taking a bite of white sugar cake when it's too spicy - this taste, like Wang Bo's words, is strong and lingering. The old barbecue stall by the river hides a secret that only locals know: grilled quail with iced mung bean soup is the best partner for watching the light show. 🌃When the eaves are stained with twilight: The gold foil lights that light up at 19:30 sharp turn the entire pavilion into a floating glass palace. I leaned on the stone railing by the river, watching the cruise ship carrying the melody of "Song of Rainbow and Feather Garments" across the water, and suddenly understood why literati of all dynasties came here to drink three cups - such a grand scene should indeed be seen while drunk. 📍Practical tips: Tickets are CNY 50 (half price for students) Night cruise ticket CNY 88/person (including commentary) Hanfu rental CNY 80/day (deposit CNY 200) Direct access to Pavilion of Prince Teng Station on Metro Line 1 When I looked back at the pavilion in the night as I left, the copper bells on the eaves sang softly in the river breeze. This cultural landmark, which has undergone 29 rebirths, has finally fixed the splendor of the Tang Dynasty on the banks of the Gan River in the most brilliant posture. Perhaps the meaning of travel is to turn the words in the textbook into the light dancing in your pupils.
