| A Millennium-Old Secret Realm in the City Center. 🌿 Qingliangshan Park, Nanjing | A Millennium-Old Secret Realm in the City Center, Travel Back to the Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties in a Second! 📍 Address: No. 83, Qingliangshan Road, Gulou District, Nanjing 🚌 Transportation: Take bus No. 6/20/43/60/91/303 directly to "Qingliangshan Park Station" and get off! 🎫 Ticket: Free! However, small attractions such as Saoyelou and Li Jianchen Art Museum require a CNY 3 ticket (optional visit). ⏰ Opening hours: 8:00–17:00 (may be adjusted in some seasons). ✨ Must-See Highlights 1️⃣ Saoyelou: The former residence of Gong Xian, a painter in the late Ming Dynasty, is a retro wooden building with white walls and black tiles, surrounded by bamboo forests. When the morning light falls, you can take ancient-style blockbusters in minutes! Remember to find the ancient well of "Huanyang Spring", which is said to have magical effects. 2️⃣ Chongzheng Academy: The Chinese Strange Stone Museum, rebuilt from a Ming Dynasty academy. When the hydrangea flowers bloom in April, the white flowers reflect the white walls and vermilion doors, as if breaking into the courtyard of "Dream of the Red Chamber"! This is also a holy place for Hanfu photography 📸. 3️⃣ Qingliang Temple: The former site of Li Yu's summer palace, the post-master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is full of Zen with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus between the red walls and black tiles. It is said that "Zhuma Slope" next to the temple is the place where Zhuge Liang praised "Zhongshan Panlong, Stone Tiger Crouching", which is a must-go for history buffs. 📸 Photo Tips Hydrangea Flower Season: In April, the hydrangea flowers of Chongzheng Academy are clustered into groups, matched with the window lattices and cloisters of the Jiangnan Garden, creating a full atmosphere! Architectural Details: The double-eaved corners of the academy, the mottled bamboo shadows of Saoyelou, and the red wall light and shadow of Qingliang Temple are all excellent compositions in every corner. Early Morning or Evening: There are few people and the light is soft, and the bamboo forest and ancient temple are more quiet, suitable for shooting the artistic conception of "empty mountains after new rain". 🚶♀️ Travel Guide Time Arrangement: The park is not big, 1–2 hours is enough to visit. It is recommended to check in together with the nearby "Stone City Park" (the night view is super beautiful) or Wulongtan Park. Seasonal Recommendation: Spring and autumn are the best! Enjoy flowers from March to May, and enjoy ginkgo and red leaves from September to November. The green shade in summer is also a good place to escape the summer heat~ Surrounding Food: There are many snack shops around Nanjing Normal University and Hohai University on the north side of the park. Plum Blossom Cake and Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup should not be missed!
