Take photos of the most beautiful cherry blossoms in Gutai City

There are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Nanjing, among which Jiming Temple, Xuanwu Lake and the area around Peace Square are the most famous. When you go to Jiming Temple in Nanjing to view cherry blossoms, you must climb up the ancient city wall and take aerial photos of Cherry Blossom Avenue and Xuanwu Lake Cherry Island. This way, you will be able to capture the feeling of the pink flowers looking like clouds and fog. [Cute] The entrance to Denggutai City is inside the Jiefang Gate of Jiming Temple, and you need to buy a ticket. Taicheng is located at the northern foot of Beiji Pavilion in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, and south of Xuanwu Lake. It is a section of the Ming city wall extending westward from Jiefangmen. The Nanjing Ming City Wall History Museum is located under this section of the city wall. When Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, built the city of Yingtian Prefecture, he originally planned to extend this section of the city wall westward to Gulougang and connect it with Shitoucheng. However, in the 19th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1386), the "New Houhu City" was built and this section of the city wall was abandoned. After the Ming Dynasty, this section of the city wall was often attributed to the Taicheng (Jiankang Palace) from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Chen Dynasty. This is also the best place to enjoy the scenery of Jiming Temple and Xuanwu Lake. You can also overlook Purple Mountain from afar and take pictures of the ancient Jiming Temple and the modern Nanjing city. [Coke]
