Chongchuan Minglan

Step under the Chongchuan Minglan Archway and be transported to ancient Nantong! This majestic structure blends the elegance of Jiangnan architecture with northern grandeur, where exquisite wood carvings and stone engravings glitter under sunlight, each detail whispering centuries of craftsmanship. Gaze up at its sweeping eaves silhouetted against the sky—pure Instagram gold! Surrounding cobblestone streets and food stalls add charm. Pro tip: visit at dusk when the archway turns into a golden spectacle under sunset.
