The Dragon Year Lantern Festival at Confucius Temple in Laomendong has a unique charm in the rain

Lao Mendong in the drizzle seems to have traveled back to the misty water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The atmosphere of the Dragon Year Lantern Festival adds a touch of peace and mystery. Even though the rain wet the corners of my clothes, it couldn't stop my love for this ancient city❤️. There are many shapes of dragon lanterns this year. As it was very slippery due to the rain, we did not go to the city wall to take pictures of the most spectacular dragon. Friends can come and unlock it. In this quaint building complex, every Dragon Year lantern seems to be telling an ancient story. The flickering lights seemed like the whispers of history, which made people feel awe. 🏮In the rain, these lanterns appear more crystal clear, with mottled light and shadow, like a dream. This time I checked in at the Dragon Year Lantern Festival in Laomendong. Although the weather was not good, from drizzle to heavy rain, and I was completely soaked in the end, I unexpectedly felt the different beauty of Laomendong. Lao Mendong in the mist and rain is like a flowing ink painting, making people linger. 🌟 The Confucius Temple Lantern Festival and the Bailuzhou Lantern Festival are both very photogenic, and you can go and check them out. Confucius Temple has also been holding a snack and food exhibition recently, which has been extremely popular.
