Nanjing botanical Garden in Zhongshan mountain is a best place to visit during the spring 🌸🌷🌹. I took this pictures in mid of March. Tulip blossom will be in March and early April. Entrance fee for each person is 45 RMB 💴 and purchase with Alipay or Wechat from entrance. Now due to the pandemic health code and travel code is must for entering the garden. Getting there : Nearest metro station 🚇 is Muxuyuan line 2 which is 1,6 km away from the botanical Garden. Follow the sign for exit 1. Sightseeing buses are available or can take the paid cycles. Cycling will not be easy since it is uphill. #flowerlover #nanjing #springblossoms #spring #botanicgardens

The Tsubaki Kan Zakura in the north garden of Zhongshan Botanical Garden is incredibly beautiful. A whole sea of pink blossoms greets you—it's incredibly stunning!!! Open Monday to Sunday. Bring a transparent umbrella/headphones/book as props to enhance the atmosphere. Fallen cherry blossoms are everywhere, pick them up as you please✨ 📸Photo Tips Pink and white clothes match perfectly with cherry blossoms!! Place your phone on the ground and shoot upwards to make the blossoms appear denser. Twirl and capture the moment, choosing a lakeside reflection. Pick up a cherry blossom and clip it to your hair for a downward shot. (Borrow the flowers respectfully, don't break off branches) 🎫Tickets are 15 yuan, head straight to the north garden. Two tips to avoid the crowds: ❶Rush in at 8:30 am on working days ❷Arrive at 4:30 pm for an empty scene Taking photos of the night cherry blossoms in the evening with a fill light is amazing. Extroverts can negotiate with people around to clear the area. For empty shots, you only have a few seconds, so press the shutter button quickly!! The blossoms wait for no one, come quickly! Miss it, and you'll have to wait another year!!!

Zhongshan Botanical Garden is really the most treasured check-in place for Nanjing people. There are different beautiful scenery all year round. Plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, tulips, hydrangeas, and the recently popular Chinese tallow maple and yellow autumn lily. In fact, what I like very much is this niche reed marsh. It is very beautiful to take pictures, and there are few people. You don’t have to worry about someone competing with you for the camera position, you can take pictures as you want. Although it is the beginning of winter, Nanjing is still 18 or 19 degrees during the day. But as the weather gets colder, there are not many days to see the reeds. Friends who want to take pictures, hurry up! ▪️Zhongshan Botanical Garden-South Garden ▪️Ticket price: 45, Nanjing Park Annual Pass is free ▪️Business hours: 8:30-17:00 ▪️Photography time: November 6 ▪️Transportation: Bus No. 20, Bus No. 315 Zhongshan Botanical Garden Station ▪️Self-driving: Zhongshan Botanical Garden parking lot, 12/hour, different on holidays

Step into Hongfenggang at Zhongshan Botanical Garden and you'll feel like you're in a gorgeous oil painting. The red maples are like fire, burning and dancing on the branches. The bright red is passionate and unrestrained, as if it wants to ignite the whole autumn. The orange and yellow maple leaves are like ripe fruit, exuding warmth and sweetness. They intertwine with the red, like the sunset on the horizon, gorgeous and charming. And the few touches of fresh green are like the persistence of life, adding a touch of vitality to the colorful colors. The sun shines down, the veins of the maple leaves are clearly visible, and the breeze blows, the leaves rustle, as if whispering the poems of autumn. Travel tips If you want to fully enjoy the beauty of Hongfenggang, it is recommended to choose a sunny autumn afternoon to visit. Wear comfortable sneakers or casual shoes for easy walking in the garden. You can bring a camera to capture the beautiful posture of the maple leaves. The tour route can start from the main entrance of the botanical garden, follow the signs to Hongfenggang, and slow down along the way to enjoy the flowers, plants, and trees along the way. After arriving at Hongfenggang, walk along the winding paths and admire the changing colors of the maple leaves from different angles. The tour time is about 2–3 hours, and you can also visit other areas in the botanical garden, such as the Tropical Plant Palace, to experience the charm of different plants and make this trip more colorful.

Heard that people start queuing at 5:30 am at Qixia Mountain? Heard that the CNY 80 ticket is not worth it? Heard that the mountain is packed with people? Not true! You can go to Zhongshan Botanical Garden to see the maple leaves. The weather has been cold recently, and the red maple leaves are in their best viewing period. When the weather warms up, the leaves will quickly curl and wither. They won't look good then. There are also very few people, so you can take great photos. A small peak is expected this weekend, so hurry up! ⚠️Other tips ▪️Zhongshan Botanical Garden North Park ▪️North Park ticket: CNY 15 ▪️Bus 315, 20 ▪️Parking lot 🅿️, CNY 12/hr on weekdays, extra charges on holidays
