Key stops on this cherry blossom route: Pearl River, Jiming Temple, Xuanwu Lake If you're looking for a simple cherry blossom viewing route in Nanjing, follow this guide and you won't be disappointed.

Itinerary (Map 2): 🚇Fuqiao Station - Pearl River Cherry Blossoms - 🚇Jiming Temple Station - Jiming Temple Road Cherry Blossoms - City Wall Overlook - View of Xuanwu Lake 1⃣️ The newly popular Pearl River: Does Nanjing have its own Meguro River?🌸? Pearl River Night Cherry Blossoms: (Photos 7-9) The streetlights turn off promptly at 9:30 pm, so if you want to experience the night view, arrive early. Afterward, it's pitch black, and everyone is taking photos in the dark. If you want to take portraits, bring your own lighting. Pearl River Daytime Cherry Blossoms: (Photos 1, 3-6) The daytime crowds are smaller than at night, and you can even take some nice portraits. In summary, the cherry blossoms here should be stunning in a few years. They're still saplings now, and hopefully, the landscaping won't change. 2⃣️ More people than flowers 👭: Tips for enjoying cherry blossoms at Jiming Temple (Photo 10) There are so many people on Jiming Temple Road. I admire the tourists who stop to take photos. To take photos here, either come early (apparently, it's still manageable around 6 am) or pay ¥20 to go up the city wall. There are fewer people up there, and you can overlook the cherry blossom avenue. 3⃣️ Distant view of Xuanwu Lake: The little boats 🚣 are quite beautiful (Photos 11-13) After ascending the city wall, you can overlook the cherry blossom avenue on one side and see the small boats on Xuanwu Lake on the other. The boats drifting on the lake create a truly beautiful scene. Imagine how lovely it would be with cherry blossoms in full bloom and sunny weather. 🌸Other Recommendations 1. You can visit the ancient Jiming Temple. 2. If you have time, continue north along the cherry blossom route. There are more cherry blossom views ahead. . ▫️▫️Photography Information▫️▫️ 📷｜SONY A7R4 💻｜Lr+Ps Ⓒ LINKEY PHOTOGRAPHY Unauthorized use and reproduction of images are strictly prohibited.
