Introduction Night Cruise along Qinhuai River in Nanjing

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

As night falls, embark on a boat tour along the Qinhuai River to discover the unique charm of this ancient waterway. Brilliant lights along both banks outline the distinctive silhouette of this historic capital, while rippling waters reflect the city's past and present. Gliding along the river feels like traveling through time, with every bridge and shoreline telling stories that belong to Nanjing. This is not just a visual delight but a spiritual journey through history.

Night Tour of Qinhuai: Gliding through Wende Bridge's moon shadow in replica barges, boat women narrate Confucius Temple lore in soft dialects. As painted boats part glimmering waves, the ancient capital's cultural veins awaken in rippling lights. Ink-tiled walls cast reflections on water, while Wu dialect songs from riverside theaters flow with the current, as if time had never passed.

Scenery of Jinling: From Wuding Gate to Qingliang Gate, the route passes white egret park's pavilions, with Purple Mountain Observatory's dome gleaming in dusk. Ming city walls at Zhonghua Gate glow golden, weaving ancient and modern landscapes together with city neon on water surface.

Snow in Nanjing ❄️

Getting snowfall in Nanjing is very less and happens once or twice in a year. The mountains are the most beautiful in Nanjing while snowing ❄️🗻. But if you don't want to hike or need some places with easy access then you can consider Confucius temple area, Nanjing 1912 block and Xuanwu lake in Downtown. The pictures I have attached are from Confucius temple and 1912 block. Getting there: Nearest metro station to Confucius temple area is Fuzimiao and Nanjing 1912 block is Daxingong 🚇. All these places are of free entrance and very close to the metro stations #snow #nanjing #travelinspiration #nanjing

Usnisa Palace 🇨🇳 Nanjing-Niushoushan

Usnisa Palace 🇨🇳 Nanjing-Niushoushan

A mountain top surprise!!! When we went to Niushoushan for the afternoon we had no knowledge of what we would find apart from being able to see a large temple and pagoda on the route to the summit. However once we reached the top we saw the domed roof of the Usnisa place, still we had no idea what the building was or what it contained. Once we went inside we travelled down what felt like endless escalators, until we reached the vast prayer room, filled with ornate statues and people worshiping and singing. Around the outside layer are thousands of small Buddah and as you climb back up through the palace you can look out from the many balconies. To get to the Palace, you'll need to taxi to the Niushoushan Scenic area and walk to the summit, lots of the steeper parts of the walk have escalators.

Stunning Mochou Lake Park in Nanjing 🇨🇳❤️

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 Nanjing I captures spring under the crabapple flowers!! The Buchou Lake Park in Nanjing is the top spot in the city to enjoy the blooming of crabapple flowers. Even in rainy weather, the crabapple flowers still bloom with a charming charm. Among them, the hanging silk crabapple is the preferred choice for idle people to take photos and check in due to its brighter color, and it is not a worry. The area near your Buddha statue, as well as the lakeside embankment and planting are all hanging silk crabapple. The flowering time of spring flowers is not too long in general. With this model of crabapple, several crabapple flowers at the gate of Mochou Lake Park are the first to bloom and have entered the declining period. The crabapple flowers in other places belong to the middle of the flowering period. The kids who want to enjoy them will catch the good weather for the next few days. Shooter: March 25th, 2024 Address: 132 Shuiximen Street Muchou Lake Park has two main gates, and the address above is the south gate of the park. It is the most convenient to enter and see the crabapple flowers from here. The Mochou Lake Station on Metro Line 2 is the north gate to the park) Wishing everyone a happy viewing of the flowers!

Niushoushan, as one of the forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling, not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also contains a profound cultural heritage. From ancient times to the present, Niushoushan has always been a place of yearning for literati and poets. The Buddha's Top Palace and Buddha's Top Pagoda are located on the mountain. Walking along the mountain path, it seems as if you can hear the chanting of ancient poems, and feel the peace and harmony. In addition to historical culture, Niushoushan's natural landscape is also breathtaking. Peach blossoms bloom in spring, and maple leaves are like fire in autumn. The changing beauty of the four seasons makes people linger. Each landscape is a masterpiece, making people intoxicated. 🎫 Ticket purchase tips: Purchase tickets online one day in advance, the original price of 160 yuan for tickets, only 145 yuan can be purchased!

Nanjing Zifeng Greenland InterContinental Hotel Experience Review (Part 5)

Nanjing Zifeng Greenland InterContinental Hotel Experience Review (Part 5)

🛁🛁 The huge bathroom, as expected, features a design with 【transparent glass】 lol. Thankfully, there's an electric bathroom curtain that can somewhat remedy the situation. However, the peculiar thing is that the curtain's electric switch isn't a one-touch raise/lower system; you need to 【keep pressing】 and watch it slowly descend. The curtain descends at an 【incredibly slow】 pace, and you could get a sore finger before it's even halfway down. Moreover, the switch on mine was broken on the top half, so it could only lower and not raise, making this inconvenient design comparable to the complexity of a bar counter. 🧽🧼 The bathroom's decor is relatively modern, with walls covered in white tiles that, under bright lights, make it seem like a different world compared to the dim bedroom. The square washbasin isn't very large and has a rather shallow bottom, which makes it easy to splash water out when washing. At the same time, the faucet protrudes too much, standing directly above the central drain and getting in the way. Additionally, the side-mounted tap is even more inconvenient. 🧺🧻 Two hand towels are stacked on the countertop, with two bath towels hanging on the long handle directly in front. On the left, there are two mouthwash cups turned upside down, and on the right, besides the soap, there's also a large bottle of lotion provided. The hairdryer is stored in a black leather box in a crevice on the right side of the countertop and is hard to notice. The toiletry box is even harder to find, placed on a glass shelf under the countertop (wouldn't it be more convenient to switch the positions and put the hairdryer below?), but the floor towel and non-slip mat are easily visible, stacked on a tray above the bathtub, and providing four bath towels is quite convenient. 🛀🏻🚿 The capsule-shaped bathtub isn't very large, and stains on the inside are faintly visible, indicating it hasn't been cleaned for a while. The non-smart toilet is still relatively clean, and the provided disposable toilet seat covers are handy. The shower area has neither a niche nor a countertop, only a handrail, and the large bottles of shower products can only be fixed to the wall. The efficiency of the 1-second hot water is extremely high, and the water flow is strong, but the noise of the draining water is too loud, belonging to the kind that can be annoying when showering with the door closed in a confined space. 📍📍 Summary: The pinnacle of Jinling, a landmark of Nanjing, the significance and aspiration of 【Zifeng Tower】 to the people of Nanjing need no explanation. As a five-star hotel located in the 【tallest building in Jiangsu】, 'from afar it amazes, up close it astounds, upon entering it settles, and during the stay it fades,' is my candid assessment. Setting aside its halo and judging it purely as a hotel, the oppressive environment and various anti-human details lead to a subpar stay, making it hard to describe the overall accommodation experience as 【feeling at home】. Coupled with over a decade of operation and outdated design, it struggles to attract the choice and favor of new consumers. As I said at the beginning of this series of reviews, 'If you simply equate 【Zifeng Tower】 with 【Greenland InterContinental Hotel】, take my advice and don't come.' It's always majestic to view the peak through the mist, no need for irreverent play, just admire from afar. Geographic location: 9/10 Public area: 7/10 Staff service: 5/10 Accommodation experience: 5/10

Unpopular gem in Nanjing 🪷

The Grand Baoen Temple Heritage & Scenic Area is located on the south bank of Qinghai river near Zhonghua gate in Nanjing. The museum depicts the birth of buddhism as a religion in China & the history of the temple which stands as a giant structure made of porcelain. I’m not a big fan of museums, but this one was truly mind blowing with relics, carvings, paintings & and immersive art exhibition. There are few restaurants inside with a Costa coffee & ice cream vendors. At the exit, grab some artsy souvenirs from the massive gift shop. The entrance ticket was 90¥, pricey but worth it 👌🏼 #urbanexplorer #buddhism #nanjing

Nanjing Staycation | Yuan She Pinghu

Nanjing Staycation | Yuan She Pinghu

Take advantage of the weekend to be a happy child in the mountains for two days. Brewing tea by the stove, watching the sunrise, breathing the mountain air, Every single thing helps to soothe the whole person. - This time, I chose a pet-friendly guesthouse. The place has three super adorable and clingy dogs. You can spot them everywhere in the yard. - The room comes with a small terrace. Sitting outside at night for tea, and getting up early the next day to watch the sunrise, Watching the dogs run around in the yard, It's truly a beautiful scene. - The breakfast is for one person, with delicate presentation and also tastes great~ There are several small but exquisite coffee shops near the guesthouse. For busy city dwellers, Having a place of tranquility to switch and adjust, Is also a kind of longed-for life🌈
