Staycation in Jiangning, Nanjing | A Light Vacation Guide

Jiangning's hidden gem vacation route allows for a relaxing holiday without leaving Nanjing 1️⃣ Ginkgo Lake Park Colorful and super photogenic, the amusement park is so much fun with its pendulum rides, roller coasters, and rafting. Plus, it's close by and doesn't tire your legs, which is so important 2️⃣ Squirrel KaKa Park Suitable for little ones, this amusement park can be visited 10 times with the Jiangning Tourism Year Card. With attractions like the rainbow slide, forest egg hunting, and the mini train, kids just love it and always want to go back. Some attractions require an additional fee, and on holidays, there are many stalls selling cotton candy, fruit juices, and all sorts of tasty treats 3️⃣ Xiangban Suji Ideal Village A stylishly built little village with hills and lakes, featuring super pretty cafes, restaurants, and a camping lawn. It's pet-friendly and also has a children's playground called Greenjoy, where you can comfortably spend the whole day 4️⃣ Luyu Ranch Just a few hundred meters from the Ideal Village, it has sika deer, lambs, and various other small animals to feed 5️⃣ Huanglongyan Tourism Village A vacation area with a tea theme, the Xiangxiang Waterfall is simply too beautiful. It's delightful to listen to music and drink coffee in the popular coffee shops Camping, tea picking, kite flying, motorcycling, kayaking - if you're too tired to go back, you can stay in a homestay 6️⃣ Camping Base There are many camping bases in this area, and I've been to two with great environments. As lazy as I am, I love the idea of camping without setting up a tent. It's great to walk the kids, stroll with pets, enjoy the lake breeze, and have a barbecue 7️⃣ Shangguoansi Temple Close to Huanglongyan, the temple has century-old ginkgo trees, and the falling leaves in autumn are incredibly beautiful
