Nanjing Cherry Blossom Season: Spring's Most Romantic Attraction

Complete Guide to Jiming Temple Cherry Blossoms🌸 Nanjing's spring is hidden within the cherry blossoms of Jiming Temple. ⏰Best Viewing Time Late March to early April is the full bloom period when you can see the breathtakingly beautiful sea of flowers. Try to avoid weekends and peak hours (10:00 - 15:00). On working days, early morning or evening offers fewer crowds and better photo opportunities. 🚗Transportation Guide 🚇Subway: Take Line 3 or Line 4 to "Jiming Temple Station" and exit from Gate 6. Walk about 300 meters to reach Cherry Blossom Avenue, convenient and quick. 🚌Bus: Take bus routes 11, 20, 48, 304, etc., and get off at Jiming Temple Station to easily reach the destination. 🚗Driving: During cherry blossom season, Jiming Temple Road is closed to traffic on weekends. Parking is limited in the area, so you can park at the underground parking lot of Huanya Catherine Plaza and walk to the site. 📸Photography Spots 🌸Cherry Blossom Avenue: As soon as you exit the subway station, you'll see this 300-meter-long pink tunnel. With the S-shaped road as background, every shot looks amazing. Remember to capture the cherry blossoms with Zifeng Tower in the frame for a beautiful blend of modern and traditional elements. 🏯Ancient Jiming Temple Archway: The red walls and yellow tiles contrast beautifully with the blooming cherry blossoms, perfect for traditional-style photos. Head to the steps on the left side of the archway for a less crowded spot. 🧗‍♂️Ming City Wall (Jiefang Gate - Taiping Gate section): Tickets cost 15 yuan. Climb the wall for a panoramic view of the entire Cherry Blossom Avenue. Find a battlement to capture the sea of flowers and ancient temple in one frame. 🧘‍♀️Diagonal View of Yaoshi Pagoda: After entering the temple, walk to the highest point and look up at the pagoda. The cherry blossoms cascading from the eaves create a stunning composition. 🌳Ancient Cherry Tree on the Back Hill: Turn right 50 meters from the north exit to find a century-old cherry tree blooming in solitude. Around 3 PM, sunlight filters through the branches, creating a scene like a painting. ⚠️Notes 1. Jiming Temple has a one-way system: the south gate is entrance only, and the north gate is exit only. 2.
