[2025 Nanjing Attraction] Travel Guide for Zijin Mountain (Updated May)

When you reach the top of the mountain, it feels like stepping into a white fairy tale world. The silver-clad Jinling City is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe with a thousand words! (The best time to see the rime is generally in January every year) Rime is neither ice nor snow; its formation requires extremely low temperatures and sufficient moisture. Having both conditions to form rime is extremely important yet mutually contradictory, making it truly precious. Rime is like fog but not fog, blurry and clear, both contradictory and compatible. The water vapor that has not yet sublimated in the fog continuously accumulates with the wind, forming a white frosted texture deposit hanging on the branches. Unlike the crystal-clear icicles, the frosted texture of the rime appears very noble. Using the blue sky and white clouds as a canvas, the branches are painted with the stunning rime and icicles, making me feel like I have entered the Nanjing version of the ice and snow world! 📍Location: Nanjing Purple Mountain Hiking Trail 🎫Tickets: Free 🚡Cable Car: One-way 60 yuan, round trip 100 yuan, there is one stop in the middle, do not get off, go directly to the end (hiking takes about 1 to 1.5 hours) 🅿️Parking: Parking lot at the entrance, 40 yuan per time on weekends and holidays, 15 yuan per time on weekdays.

Zijin Mountain is a renowned natural scenic area in Nanjing, characterized by its majestic terrain and lush vegetation. The hiking trails are well-designed, catering to visitors of all types. From the summit, you can enjoy expansive views of Jieyang city and the distant coastline. During spring and summer, the mountain is adorned with blooming flowers and fresh air. The natural environment of Zijin Mountain showcases the ecological beauty of eastern Guangdong, making it an ideal destination for relaxation.

🌇【Sunset】 The sunset at Xuanwu Lake is like a gentle painter using endless clouds to create soothing masterpieces. Looking out at the city skyline, the orange-red twilight reflects on the lake's rippling surface, as if time stands still in this moment. Boats and dragon boats glide along the fading sunlight, creating golden trails - the most vibrant silhouettes of this place! 🌳【Locations】 1. Ten-Mile Embankment-Sunshine Dock-Zhongyuqiao Bridge: Walking along the path, each step captures different sunset angles. My personal favorite is the Zhongyuqiao Bridge viewpoint, where you can simultaneously see Zifeng Tower (Image 1), Sanzang Pagoda (Image 7), and Purple Mountain Observatory (Image 8) - taking in Nanjing's mountains, waters, city, and forests in one glance. 2. Cherry Island: Enter from Xuanwu Gate and head toward Cherry Island. The city's outline appears especially clear in the sunset, making it a great place for silhouette photography (Images 5, 6). You can see both Zifeng Tower and Sanzang Pagoda, though trees and buildings will block the view of Purple Mountain. 📜【Timing】 Using April 30 as an example: Sunrise: 05:20; Sunset: 18:40; Afternoon golden hour: 6:10-6:45 PM; Blue hour: 7:00-7:20 PM. 🌅【Blue Hour】After sunset, Xuanwu Lake's blue hour begins, with the sky and lake surface taking on a deep blue hue (Images 9, 10) - nature's gentlest comfort!

I recently visited Jiming Temple in Nanjing and saw the cherry blossoms I'd been longing for. They were truly stunning! I did a lot of research before my trip, and now I'm sharing this super detailed travel guide with you so you can also have a wonderful cherry blossom season trip. I. Pre-trip Preparations 1. Pay Attention to the Blooming Period: The cherry blossom season is short, usually from mid-to-late March to early April. Be sure to pay close attention to the blossom forecasts before your trip, or you might miss the peak bloom. 2. Book in Advance: Jiming Temple requires advance reservations for entry times through their official WeChat public account. This will prevent you from being unable to enter the temple upon arrival. 3. Check the Weather: Spring weather can be unpredictable. Check the weather forecast in advance and bring appropriate clothing and rain gear. II. Transportation 1. Subway: The Nanjing subway is very convenient. Take Line 3 to Jiming Temple Station, Exit 5. You'll emerge right onto Jiming Temple Road, and the romantic atmosphere will be palpable from the moment you step out. 2. Bus: There are also many bus routes nearby. You can check specific routes on your phone's map app and choose the one that suits you best. 3. Taxi/Car: If you're traveling with a larger group, taking a taxi is also a good option. However, traffic around the temple can be congested during the cherry blossom season, and parking can be difficult if you're driving, so be prepared. III. Highlights 1. Ancient Temple and Cherry Blossoms in Harmony: As a thousand-year-old temple, Jiming Temple has a rich history and cultural heritage. The pink cherry blossoms against the backdrop of the temple's yellow walls and black tiles create a poetic and Zen-like atmosphere. Every photo you take will be a masterpiece. 2. Romantic Cherry Blossom Avenue: Starting from the entrance on Jiming Temple Road, the road is lined with cherry blossom trees. When in full bloom, the blossoms resemble clouds and rosy clouds. Walking along this road is like stepping into a dreamy pink world. It's truly romantic. 3. Unique Cultural and Creative Products: Jiming Temple's cultural and creative products are also worth checking out, such as cherry blossom sachets and amulets. They make great souvenirs or gifts for friends and family. IV. Itinerary and Schedule Recommended visiting time: 1 day. 1. Morning: • 9:00 Arrive at Jiming Temple. Take photos at the entrance and admire the temple's beautiful architecture. • 9:30 Enter the temple and visit the main buildings along the central axis, such as the Mahavira Hall and Guanyin Hall, to experience Buddhist culture. Don't forget to pause and admire the cherry blossom trees within the temple grounds. The blossoms blend beautifully with the ancient architecture, creating a unique charm. • 11:00 Head to the vegetarian restaurant at Jiming Temple and try their specialty vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian noodles and steamed buns are highly recommended. 2. Afternoon: • 12:30 Leave Jiming Temple and stroll along Cherry Blossom Avenue, taking your time to admire the blooming cherry blossoms. Take plenty of photos to capture these beautiful moments. • 14:00 Continue along Cherry Blossom Avenue to reach Taicheng. Climb Taicheng for a panoramic view of Xuanwu Lake and the Purple Mountain in the distance. The scenery is spectacular. • 16:00 After descending from Taicheng, enter Xuanwu Lake Park. Take a leisurely walk along the lake, enjoying the scenery, or rent a boat for a relaxing afternoon on the water. 3.

V. Accommodation Recommendations 1. Near Xinjiekou: Xinjiekou is Nanjing's commercial center, with convenient transportation and a wide variety of hotels and guesthouses. It's also not far from Jiming Temple, just a few subway stops away. 2. Around Xuanwu Lake: If you want to enjoy the lake view, staying near Xuanwu Lake is a good choice. The environment is beautiful, and you can take evening strolls along the lake. VI. Travel Tips 1. Photography Tips: The lighting is softer in the morning and evening, making for better photos. Wearing light-colored clothing will complement the cherry blossoms nicely. 2. Respectful Flower Viewing: Please don't break branches or trample on the grass. Protecting the flowers will allow the beautiful scenery to last longer. 3. Avoid Peak Times: Weekends and holidays can be crowded. If possible, try to visit on a working day for a better experience. I hope this guide helps you have a wonderful time during the Jiming Temple cherry blossom season. Go and embrace this limited-time spring romance!

As an outdoor blogger who's always exploring mountains, rivers, and seas, I firmly believe that every city hides a "natural sanctuary." In this 300-hectare secret realm at the southern foot of Nanjing's Purple Mountain, I encountered the healing plant planet that urbanites need most. Unlike typical botanical garden guides, this "Green Survival Guide" will unlock N advanced ways to experience the botanical garden. 1. Time-Folding Techniques in the South and North Gardens The South and North Gardens, separated by Taiping North Road, are like two entrances to parallel worlds. The autumnal red maple slopes in the North Garden are a must-see in Jinling, but old Nanjing residents prefer the ancient charm of the Medicinal Plant Garden in the South Garden. When you enter the garden at 7:30 in the morning, the ginkgo avenue in the mist reveals the imagery of "lush reeds" from the *Classic of Poetry*. This is a fleeting moment of enchantment before the crowds of tourists arrive. The Tropical Plant Palace is a "miniature Pandora planet." The secret to the giant Victoria amazonica's 3-meter diameter lies in its honeycomb-like leaf veins. I recommend bringing a macro lens to capture the Tyndall effect of staghorn ferns under the glass dome. You'll get amazing photos of a "green forest" that will blow up your social media. 2. The Four Seasons' Rotating Plant Blind Box The cherry blossom tunnel in March is a scene of pink storms, but seasoned players will head straight to the Rose Garden to find Nanjing's only double-flowered yellow Banksia rose. When the fringe trees bloom in the Maple Garden in May, the dense white flowers look like frost and snow. Paired with the red window frames of the Republican-era buildings, every shot looks like a scene from the movie *The Flowers of War*. The red maple slopes in late autumn have a built-in Monet filter. I recommend wearing Hanfu or plain sweaters and shooting in the side backlight before 11:00 am. The succulent area in the winter greenhouse hides blooming lithops. These "living stones" showcase the contrasting charm of life in the heated room. 3. Hidden Gems for Naturalists The "plant maze" on the east side of the South Garden is actually a living *Compendium of Materia Medica*, with each area labeled according to its function, such as lowering blood sugar or blood pressure. If you crouch down and look closely at the purplish-red veins on the back of the houttuynia cordata leaves, you'll find the illustrations from the *Illustrated Classics of Herbs* come to life. In the "Nature Class" every Saturday morning, you can experience ancient flower and grass papermaking. Imprint ginkgo leaves onto paper made from the bark of Broussonetia papyrifera to create your own plant memory specimen. If you book in advance, you can even touch fern fossils collected in 1929 when the garden was established at the Herbarium. Travel Tips: - The two-person bicycle rental is hidden behind the grocery store. Unlock the "cycling + picnic" package for 40 yuan per hour. - The North Garden Bridge is perfect for kids to burn off energy. The swaying bridge and the ring bridge will awaken childhood memories. - The sedum potted plants in the South Garden succulent shop are 9.9 yuan each, three times cheaper than in trendy plant shops. When the anxiety of city life soars, I bring coffee and *Flora of China* here to find peace. The ferns whispering in the wind, the monstera deliciosa eternally photosynthesizing, and the moss slowly creeping up the tree trunks all speak of a different time zone of life. The most touching magic of this plant ark is that it turns everyone who enters into a child of nature. Address: No. 1 Qianhu Houcun, Xuanwu District Tickets: North Garden 15 yuan / South Garden 45 yuan (half price for student ID holders) Transportation Tip: Take Metro Line 2 to Muxuyuan Station and transfer to Bus 315, or ride a shared bike along the gentle slope of Lingyuan Road. Secret Moment: On a Monday morning after the rain, the entire botanical garden is your private museum

When the leaves of the Chinese tallow, plane, ginkgo, and maple trees gradually change color, the intoxicating autumn atmosphere spreads throughout the city. The most beautiful and lingering autumn charm of Nanjing is hidden in the Purple Mountain. Also known as the Zhongshan Scenic Area, this national 5A-level scenic area is blessed with natural beauty and a majestic landscape. The three main attractions of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and Linggu Temple complement each other, together outlining the unique romantic silhouette of Nanjing in autumn. Strolling through the area, the tranquility of Linggu Temple, the liveliness of the Music Stage, the simplicity of the Sacred Way, the solemnity of the Mausoleum Road, the elegance of the Meiling Palace, the uniqueness of the Liuhui Pavilion, the lushness of the Botanical Garden, and the clarity of the Yanque Lake all exude a charming allure in the autumn breeze.

In the early morning, the air on Purple Mountain is slightly chilly with a hint of freshness. The distant, hazy mountains quietly sleep under the cover of night. I stand at the summit, waiting for the moment of sunrise, as a serene and mysterious atmosphere pervades the space between heaven and earth. Gradually, the eastern horizon is tinged with a faint orange-red, like a painter slowly spreading colors on a palette, leaving one breathless with anticipation. As the sunlight slowly rises from the horizon, the blazing red sun finally appears among the mountains, casting rays of light that instantly warm and enliven the scenery of Purple Mountain. The distant forests and nearby ancient buildings are bathed in the morning glow, shining as if enchanted by magic. In that moment, it feels as if time stands still, with only the newly risen sun whispering to the earth, bringing boundless vitality and hope.
