The Nanjing Yuyuan Garden has captured the essence of willows intoxicated by the spring mist, as described in ancient poetry, during the vibrant month of March. Not only are there flowers in brilliant purples and reds, but also willows sprouting new shoots. Walking through Yuyuan Garden, one can see the willows by the lake, swaying like green beaded curtains in the wind. This is the most enchanting time of the year for the willows. The slender and long willow branches gradually unfurl delicate shades of green, gently brushing over the water's surface in the breeze, as graceful as a young girl with long, flowing hair, so lively and beautiful. Isn't it just like the saying, 'The spring breeze smiles, and the willows are like smoke; it's truly the heavenly days of March.' Jinling Yuyuan Garden √ 15 minutes walk from Sanshanjie Station on Metro Line 1 √ Tickets: 18, open from 9 am to 5:30 pm Yuyuan Garden is located in the Laomenxi area of Qinhuai District, within the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Area. It is the largest private garden in Nanjing, also known as the Hu Family Garden. In addition to the new willow shoots, plum blossoms and camellias are in full bloom, while magnolias and apricot flowers are nearing their end. Visiting this garden in spring, one truly understands the meaning of 'no power can contain the beauty of spring in the garden!' It's just too wonderful.
