I didn't go to the crowded Meihua Mountain, but went to Yuhuatai Meigang quietly.

It is the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom again, and many tourists will come to Nanjing Meihua Mountain to check in and take photos. So Meihua Mountain was really crowded at the end of February. Where do people in Nanjing go to appreciate plum blossoms? In fact, Nanjing people don’t go to Plum Blossom Hill anymore because there are too many tourists. So let’s leave Plum Blossom Hill to our friends from other places. We Nanjing people have our own place to appreciate plum blossoms. [Cute] Nanjing’s lesser-known plum blossom viewing spot: Yuhuatai Meigang. In the early Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Hu people invaded the border and the capital was moved south. Mei Ze, the governor of Yuzhang, led his troops to resist and stationed his camp here. In order to commemorate the noble character of General Mei Ze, later generations built the General Mei Temple on the hill and planted plum trees, so it was called Meigang. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Meigang area became more and more famous, and a sea of ​​plum blossoms had been formed. Together with the Meilin at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, they became the two major plum blossom viewing spots in the eastern and southern suburbs of Nanjing, and are crowded with tourists every early spring. [TeaDrinker] Today, Meigang is located in the Yuhuatai Scenic Area, with a large number of plum blossoms planted. It is integrated with the surrounding garden-style buildings and is full of Jiangnan charm. It is a place with few tourists but excellent scenery. Transportation information: You can take bus No. 2, 16, 26, 49, 88 to the north gate of Yuhuatai Scenic Area; You can take bus No. 33, 44, 202, 204 to the south gate of Yuhuatai Scenic Area.
