The annual Dragon Boat Festival holiday is coming again. Are you worried about where to go? Don’t worry, I have summarized the good places to travel to Nanjing. Here is what I share. Let’s give you an introduction to the scenic spots around Nanjing, let’s take a look!

Recommendations for scenic spots in Nanjing with beautiful scenery and few people

1. Yuyuan Garden

Nanjing Yuyuan The garden, also known as the Hu Family Garden, is located in Qinhuai District, Nanjing City. It faces Jiqingmen Mingyang Street in the front and Hualugang in the back. It is a famous private garden in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the 13th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Hu Enxie, the prefect of Suzhou, resigned and returned to his hometown in Nanjing. He purchased this land and built it into a garden after two years. At that time, when Hu Enxie was appointed to the magistrate's office, it was a time when his official career was very successful, but he resigned and returned home, as others said, he was very "stupid". In order to show off his innocence, Hu Enxie deliberately "thought himself stupid and changed its name to Yuyuan." In fact, Hu Enxie means "great wisdom is like a fool".

My comment: Being in a secluded place in a busy city, with small bridges, flowing water, and clumsy stone pavilions, it is quite interesting to change the scenery as you move around.

2. Chaotian Palace

Chaotian Palace is located in Yeshan, Shuiximen, Chaotian Palace Street, Qinhuai District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. It is the highest-grade, largest-area, and most-completely preserved ancient building complex in the Jiangnan region. The name Chaotian Palace was given by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty through an edict, which means "to worship God" and "to meet the emperor".

The history of Chaotian Palace can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. King Fu Chai of Wu smelted iron and cast swords in Yeshan here. The history of building the Confucian Temple can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. It was named Chaotian Palace in the Ming Dynasty. It was a place where the royal family worshiped Taoist gods. It was a place for learning etiquette for meeting the emperor, but it was later destroyed by war. It was rebuilt on the original basis from the fifth to ninth years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty and became a Confucian Temple. Jiangning Fuxue also moved here from Jiming Mountain.

My comment: The Qing Dynasty Confucian Temple building with red walls and yellow tiles is spacious and magnificent, ancient and quiet. The historical heritage and humanistic feelings are laid out in the garden, and you can slowly savor the charm of the old capital in the tranquility.

3. 1865 Creative Park

During the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, then governor of Liangjiang, established the Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau here in September 1865. It pioneered the development of my country's modern industry and weapons industry, and was the first step in the transformation of China's modern handicraft industry into machines. The turning point of excessive manufacturing, and the location of the 1865 Park is the central area of ??the site, hence its name.

The park has 9 buildings from the Qing Dynasty and 19 buildings from the Republic of China. It is like a modern Chinese industrial museum, recording the historical trajectory of the development of China's national industry. Now, it is no longer a machine factory, but has become a base for cultural and creative industries.

My comment: The creative park is shaded by green trees, with art sculptures and coffee shops everywhere, making it suitable for young people to take photos on dates.

4. Yuzui Wetland Park

Yuzui Wetland Park is located at the southernmost end of Hexi New Town, Jianye District, Nanjing City. Inside the park, there are wetland plank paths, bicycle paths, greenways, vehicle paths and other roads with different functions. Walking along the winding plank road along the river, no matter how hot the sun is, it will be resolved by the river breeze and the shade of the trees. When the river breeze blows, there is not only the low hum of the ebb and flow, but also the rich sound of ship horns.

The Third Yangtze River Bridge is within easy reach, the dock for loading and unloading cargo has been transformed into a river viewing platform, the lighthouse that guides ships to pay attention to Jiangxinzhou has been renovated, and the riverside wetland tidal flat is the essence of Yuzui Wetland Park. On one side, there are undulating reeds, and passing egrets sometimes cruise and hover, sometimes stopping to rest; on the other side, the river is surging, and if you are lucky, you can see finless porpoises playing.

My comment: Find a holiday afternoon, ride a tram around the edge of the city, lie on the grass in the park and listen to the breeze blowing by the river. On both sides of the plank road are original trees, birds and gulls, and their branches Extending into the water, the sunset here is also very unique.
