I thought Xuanwu Lake was already beautiful enough, until I visited this lesser-known park
Nanjing's most treasured lesser-known park is none other than Gulin Park.
In February there are plum blossoms, in March cherry blossoms, and now in April, it is the perfect time for peonies and fragrant yellowwood to bloom. The yellowwood is not only beautiful but also incredibly fragrant.
However, this year's yellowwood will still need a few more days.
Take advantage of the fact that not many people know about it yet, and come check in here!

The Michelia flowers bloom like waterfalls
Nanjing's park is severely underrated! The Michelia flowers in Nanjing seem to have all burst into bloom overnight, creating waterfalls of flowers everywhere, it's truly beautiful! This year, due to construction at Xuanwu Lake Rose Garden, I couldn't go there to take photos, so I recommend Gulou Park, which has a huge amount of flowers and seems to be even better than last year, with flowers trailing all the way to the ground.
Photo taken on the afternoon of April 13th, it was quite crowded, but the morning would be even better.
Gulou Park
√No admission fee, accessible by bus, subway line 4 to Caochangmen South Art Station; parking is 20 yuan per time (not highly recommended).
The Michelia flowers are near the north gate (Dinghuaimen), close to the Peony Garden, under the TV tower.

Stroll around Gulin Park
🌿 Gulin Park is not far from Caochangmen, next to Nanjing University of the Arts. It was originally the site of the ancient Lin Temple, which is named after the temple. The temple was first built during the Liang of the Southern Dynasties. After several ups and downs, by the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ancient Lin Temple was in a state of disrepair and became a provincial horticultural farm in 1959. It was later approved for garden construction.
🌿 For people from other places, Gulin Park is not very famous. But it has mountains and water, rolling hills, high and low ravines, and a varied terrain that changes as you move. There are also several ponds (there used to be amusement facilities). There are various flowers, such as cherry blossoms, magnolias, plum blossoms, peonies, February orchids, etc., which are quite attractive to the citizens of Nanjing. There is also a bonsai garden, which is quite nice.
🌿 At the highest point of the park, the 'Sifang Bajing Pavilion' is built, covering an area of 575 square meters, with three main floors and double eaves. Visitors can climb up to the third-floor corridor to enjoy the 'Eight Views from All Sides'. This place forms an interesting contrast with the 300-meter-high TV transmission tower on Wangjia Mountain not far away.
🌿 This time it was a weekday visit, and there were not many tourists. On the north side of the park, there is a bonsai garden where you can enjoy the representative works of 'Jinling Bonsai'. At this time, it is also during the Nanjing International Plum Blossom Festival, and there is a 'Welcoming Spring Plum Bonsai Exhibition' worth seeing.
