The Guanyin Hall corridor, with its interplay of light and shadow, makes for stunning photos. 🍽Food Recommendations: The vegetarian chicken and vegetarian roast goose at Baiweizhai are worth trying, and the "Jiming Tea Ceremony" at the temple entrance is also very unique. 🛏Accommodation Recommendation: InterContinental Nanjing Hotel, close to Jiming Temple. Luxurious facilities and stunning views. 📝Tips: Wear light-colored clothing; it complements the red walls of the ancient temple perfectly. Large incense sticks are prohibited inside the temple; checks will be conducted at the entrance. 💙Xuanwu Lake—A "Social Anxiety Relief" Among the Three Famous Lakes of Jiangnan 📍Address: No. 1 Xuanwu Lane, Xuanwu District, Nanjing. 🚉Transportation: Exit 3 of Xuanwumen Station, Metro Line 1. ⏳Photography Tips: The chrysanthemum exhibition on Liangzhou Island and the tulips in Lovers' Garden are excellent photo spots.
