Chasing Dawn: A Sunrise to Remember in Nanxun Ancient Town

#discoverchina #nanxun I woke up at 5 a.m., drawn by the promise of witnessing Nanxun’s legendary sunrise. The town was still wrapped in a hushed silence, the canals reflecting the first pale hints of daylight. As I wandered along the cobblestone paths, the mist rose gently from the water, softening the outlines of centuries-old bridges and whitewashed walls. Then, slowly, the sun began to paint the sky—streaks of gold and pink bleeding into the horizon, transforming the canals into liquid amber. The red lanterns, still aglow from the night, seemed to blush under the morning light, their reflections shimmering like scattered embers. In that quiet hour, before the town stirred to life, Nanxun felt like a secret shared only with the dawn—a fleeting, perfect moment where history and beauty intertwined.
