Nanjing | Spring in Jinling at the Hu Family Garden

The weather in Nanjing makes it hard to tell whether it's spring or winter, but it doesn't matter, as long as spring is in your heart. Come to Yuyuan Garden to see the spring in your heart. There are plum blossoms in full bloom and weeping willows swaying gently. 🌟Highlights: This time at Yuyuan Garden, I discovered several places where plum blossoms are in full bloom. On the left-hand side after entering, along Kegeng Caotang, looking towards the south side of the lake, there is a pink plum blossom tree. Standing next to the pink plum blossoms, with the tender green weeping willows and Yanqing Pavilion in the distance, it must be a very picturesque scene. Another spot is on the right-hand side after entering. Enter the circular gate and walk less than 50 steps to see it. Under the orchid wall, there is a row of plum blossoms. There are fewer people there. Opposite Wuyin Jingshe in the inner garden, beside the rockery, there is also a plum blossom tree in full bloom. It makes a nice pairing with Qingyuan Hall behind it and the white magnolia not far away. There are two plum blossoms next to the Six Dynasties Stone, one is red and the other is green. The cover photo was taken on the west side of Qingyuan Hall. My child said the white walls and green willows looked beautiful. While strolling through the garden, I overheard two elderly people chatting, probably about getting out more and not waiting until they couldn't walk anymore to regret it. 👍Most Recommended: There were noticeably more people this time. Perhaps because of the good weather, everyone came out to enjoy the spring scenery. By the waterfall next to the rockery, you can see many people taking wedding photos, and many young women taking photos in ancient costumes. Hu Mu's former residence is also worth a visit. The furnishings inside are basically the same as they used to be, including the desk, bed, and washbasin stand. Stepping up the wooden stairs, they creak; looking out the window on the second floor, the ancient buildings come into view, and you can feel the passage of time. The couplet "Content with all things, yet desiring nothing; taking nothing, yet knowing true contentment" is also in the inner garden, in front of Mingze Hall. There are many similar couplets, which are also worth a closer look. 📝Tips: 1. The garden is not big, but you might get lost the first time you visit. Basically, turning right leads to the inner garden, which is ideal for those who enjoy architecture and culture. There is an introduction to Yuyuan Garden in the long corridor next to Fenyin Xuan. 2. If you want to see mountains and water, go to the rockery and waterfall in the inner garden, and then go around the lake for a spring outing and flower viewing. 3. The restroom is in the northwest corner of the garden.
