    Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

    Very worthwhile. Although there wasn't much scenery in winter, it was still fun for the kids. There was even a cat named Huahua near the exit, which my child adored. Being a family, we played hide-and-seek among the artificial hills in Heyuan Garden. Definitely worth the ticket price. Next time, we should bring contact lenses and go take photos in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing).

    可可兔纸可可兔纸

    Although it was a bit late, I didn't see much of the intricacies of the gardens. I think we should have hired a guide. However, the design of these gardens is indeed ingenious. They must be very beautiful in late autumn and early spring.

  • Slender West Lake

    In early winter, Slender West Lake unfolds like a long ink painting scroll of Jiangnan. The metasequoia forest stands tall on the lakeside, its branches and leaves tinged with wine red. When the sunlight shines through, it looks like flames burning, creating a vibrant yet tranquil contrast with the clear blue lake water. The air is filled with the unique fragrance of metasequoia, mixed with the moisture of the lake water, making every breath refreshing and invigorating. The fragrance of wintersweet also wafts in the air. The yellow tiles and red pillars of the Five Pavilion Bridge are reflected in the mirror-like surface, with the bridge body and its reflection perfectly matching, showcasing the ingenuity of the Qing Dynasty craftsmen.

    Zhongshan Scenic Area combines nature and culture. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is solemn and ancient, with lifelike stone statues standing silently along the Sacred Way; the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent, and climbing to the top offers panoramic views of Nanjing. The Wutong Avenue stretches with lush greenery, and Linggu Temple is serene and tranquil. The misty rain of the Six Dynasties and the turbulent history of the Republic of China intertwine here, making it a must-visit scenic and cultural landscape in Nanjing.

    The bald cypress trees at Gate 3 are beautiful, and the scenery is breathtaking. The stone statue path feels like stepping into a history textbook. The scenic area is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The area is very large, so plan your route according to your physical condition and proceed with caution.

    The tickets are relatively good value compared to other zoos, and the zoo has a fairly wide variety of animals. However, it's just too crowded, making the experience unpleasant. There was a half-hour wait for parking at the entrance, and every enclosure was packed with people.

    Teacher Zhang Jun, our guide at the Great Bao'en Temple, patiently and meticulously sent us the meeting point and route in advance. The tour consisted of three sessions, but due to the extensive content, it went on for an extra half hour. He didn't even have time for a sip of tea! From the art of the Jetavana sculptures to the history of the Great Bao'en Temple Pagoda, to the excavation of the Buddha's skull relic and the historical and artistic value of the artifacts, he eloquently explained everything, captivating us and leaving us wanting more. This trip to the Great Bao'en Temple was just a beginner's guide; we'll definitely meet again!

    My family, who understands?! December was chilly, and I just wanted to find somewhere to relax, but I ended up completely immersed in the winter wonderland of Yuantouzhu. The moment I stepped into the scenic area, the crisp, cool air captivated me. Taihu Lake, caressed by the cold air, shimmered and sparkled, as if hiding many little secrets. The distant mountains were gently shrouded in mist, like a half-unfurled ink painting, so beautiful I didn't want to blink. I strolled slowly along the lakeside, the cold wind whistling, but it couldn't dispel the warmth in my heart. There weren't many people here; I didn't have to squeeze around, and I could quietly enjoy the tranquility. When I got hungry, I went to Guangfu Temple for a bowl of vegetarian noodles. Steaming hot, one bite and I felt completely revitalized. The staff were also incredibly attentive, answering all my questions, which warmed my heart. I absolutely loved this trip to Yuantouzhu!
