Qinhuai River

Qinhuai River is a branch of the Yangtze River, running about 110 kilometers, a major watercourse around Nanjing City.
The Qinhuai River(Chinese:秦淮河；pinyin:qínhuáihé) used to be called Huai Water, and was renamed Qinhuai for the legend that Qin Emperor Shihuang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), ordered to introduce Huai Water to the city by excavating a mountain. It is a branch of the Yangtze River, running about 110 kilometers, a major watercourse around Nanjing City. In Chinese ancient times, places around the Qinhuai River and the Confucian Temple were already very prosperous. Floating lights are the most famous view on the Qinhuai River. On the river, any boat or ship, large or small, will hang color lamps. It is a very important activity for a visitor to ride such a boat, floating on the river to enjoy the scenes.
