Nanjing's top-notch roses are in full bloom in April, perfect for flower viewing and photography.

Nanjing's spring is just as stunning as autumn.🍃 Roses, wisterias, jasmines, azaleas, and hydrangeas all make their grand entrance in April, filling Nanjing's spring air with floral fragrance. It's definitely a great choice for a short trip around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. - 🚶‍➡️Route: D1: Yihe Road - Ninghai Road - Nanjing University of the Arts - Jinling Hotel - Deji Plaza D2: Jinling Hotel - Laomendong - Xiaoxi Lake - Return - 🚗Transportation: The attractions are not far apart, suitable for city walks or cycling.🚴 It basically covers all aspects of dining, entertainment, and leisure. - 🍃Yihe Road & Ninghai Road: ✔️The yellow walls paired with roses are very picturesque, and the crooked neck tree is also a popular spot for photos. Cafés are scattered along the streets. ✔️No. 18 Ninghai Road has large areas of jasmine and roses, and it's less crowded. - 🍃Nanjing University of the Arts: ✔️An absolute treasure trove! Full of artistic atmosphere. ✔️The combination of wood hydrangeas and art pieces is super beautiful! The rose avenue is about to be in full bloom. ✔️NUA has free art exhibitions that are constantly updated! Very suitable for taking pictures📷 and checking in. ✔️The peacock🦚 garden and pigeon square are also worth visiting, and there's a pair of black swans. - 🍃Laomendong: ✔️A sea of azaleas💐 under the ancient city walls, a riot of colors. ✔️Roses and old buildings create a strong sense of national style. The wisterias are slightly past their prime. - 🍃Xiaoxi Lake: ✔️A gathering place for trendy and artistic shops, perfect for taking pictures. ✔️Jasmines and roses climb all over the walls, immersing you in a sea of flowers.🌊 - 🍃Jinling Hotel: ✔️There is a "king" of wood hydrangeas at the main entrance of the hotel. ✔️There are wisterias in the parking lot on the ground floor, but they are a bit wilted due to the strong wind. - 🏨Accommodation: As a tourist from out of town, I chose "Jinling Hotel" for its excellent location. The Jinling Tower and the Asia-Pacific Tower have two completely different styles. The rooms are spacious with great views. Although it's a 40-year-old hotel, the hardware facilities are very comfortable after renovation. The only regret is that I didn't get a reservation at the "Mei Yuan" restaurant.
