As the sun sets over the Yongning River, Huangyan sheds the day’s heat and emerges in a spellbinding "night mode"—where ancient bridges glow, streets hum with energy, and mountains touch the stars.
Riverside Bridges: Canvases of Light
Wudong Bridge, a millennium-old landmark, transforms into a glittering gem at dusk. Lights along its banks ripple on the water, painting a vivid scene as laughter and flowing currents create a lively soundtrack. Further along, Juyuan Bridge sparkles like a rainbow, its colorful lights mirrored in the waves, blurring reality with dream.
Bustling Streets: Flavors and Festivity
Guanhe Water Street comes alive with lantern-lit canals, blending vendor calls, soft melodies, and children’s giggles into a modern nod to Song Dynasty charm. Xinqian Night Market offers authentic street culture: sizzling squid skewers, aromatic grilled dishes, and icy yangcaogao (agar jelly) mixed with lemon tea. Shoppers wander, treats in hand, amid the scent of cuisine and lively crowds.
Mountain Skies: Stars and Serenity
High above the city, Sky City’s mountaintop cabins glow like fairy-tale homes around crackling campfires, with an endless starry sky as the backdrop. At Baizhang Moon-Gazing Camp, tents nestle under moonlit trees, serenaded by frogs and crickets, where the unpolluted sky makes stars appear close enough to touch.
Starry Valley, East China’s first star-themed park, follows the Big Dipper’s pattern, offering planetariums, observatories, and stargazing camps. Here, free from city lights, the night sky dazzles like a diamond-studded canvas, with mountain winds carrying whispers of the cosmos.
Huangyan’s nights invite you to wander light-drenched bridges, savor street delicacies, and lose yourself in starry quiet. Every glow, every flavor, every twinkle calls you to craft your own summer night tale.
