In the past, people would simply visit tourist attractions, one after another, but as a result, they didn’t know much about the city or region they visited, didn’t experience the local city culture, and didn’t understand the local living customs. So a true trip, in addition to visiting tourist attractions, also includes shopping, eating, drinking, having fun, and watching movies like the locals. This is a deep trip. ✈️ For friends who want to travel to Nanjing, I recommend a good place to watch movies: Nanjing Jiangning Longwan Tianjie Xingyi Cinema. Location: Tanyuan West Road, Jiangning District, Nanjing. The cinema is located on the fifth floor of Longhu Longwan Tianjie. It is very exquisitely decorated and has a large area. There are more than a dozen theaters in the viewing area. New films are released very timely and there are many screenings. The cinema is equipped with entertainment facilities, and the waiting area can play video games, grab dolls and other entertainment activities. The facilities in the shopping mall where the cinema is located are also perfect. The underground floor is a leisure and food area, and there are various high-end restaurants on the fourth and fifth floors. There are also two floors of underground garages downstairs. The mall is also very close to the subway station. There are Baijia Lake Station and Zhushan Road Station on Nanjing Metro Line 1 nearby, making it very convenient to take public transportation or drive. 🚗

Exploring Nanjing Baijia Lake Lalaland: A new romantic landmark surpassing the Bund! I once thought the brilliance of the Bund was enough to intoxicate, until I encountered Lalaland at Baijia Lake in Nanjing. At that moment, I felt as if I had traveled to the dreamy realm of Shanghai's Pudong, yet it was closer to the unique gentleness and romance of Nanjing. Here, it is Nanjing's version of 'La La Land,' with every frame being extraordinarily beautiful. 👣 A dreamy journey of Citywalk: Stepping lightly out of Exit 1 of Baijia Lake Metro Station, a quiet exploration of beauty begins. Along the way, the creative Coca-Cola installation catches the eye, colorful and adding a touch of playfulness and vitality to the journey. Then, entering the Baijia Lake 1912 block, it feels like traveling back to that magnificent era, with every step echoing the collision of history and modernity. 📸 Photography tips for enthusiasts: Best time to capture the sunset: When the sun begins to slowly set, around 17:00 is the golden moment, but remember, around 16:30 is the best time to secure the best spot. Recreate classic scenes from 'La La Land': The sunken track, the distant bridge spanning across, the shimmering lake surface, and the towering buildings. This is not just a scene, but a visual feast, making one feel as if they are in a movie. Golden dream under the sunset: The afterglow of the sunset spills over the lake, glittering with golden light, and small boats leisurely drift. At this moment, time seems to stand still, leaving only endless tenderness in the lens. Memories of dancing with the bear on the Ferris wheel: On the steps, the cute bear and the majestic Ferris wheel form an interesting contrast, one high and one low, one moving and one still, creating a harmonious yet interesting picture, definitely a highlight for social media. 👩‍🎓 About me, an unconventional traveler: I am a photography travel enthusiast with an infinite curiosity for niche spots. Although busy in the financial industry, my pursuit of beauty has never ceased. I long to use my camera to record every piece of beauty in my country, whether it is magnificent mountains and rivers or the bustling city life, they are all stories in my lens. My ENFJ personality makes me good at communicating with people and more willing to share the joy and emotion from the journey. Here, let's feel the romance and fantasy of Nanjing Baijia Lake Lalaland together and start a journey of the soul!

Great view

Having a tasty and delicious Korean meal has been on my bucket list and in Nanjing might have found a spot for that . Located in the golden eagle mall is this Korean restaurant that has a variety of meals from fried chicken to popular Korean beef as well as other foods . The prices range from 70 RMB to 90 RMB . I would suggest to go with someone to eat since the meal sizes are more than one individual can eat . Restaurant location: 博欧姆新派韩国料理·炸鸡(江宁金鹰店) Floor L2 There is a branch at xinjiekou golden eagle mall also. #summerfest #food #koreanfood #koreanfriedchicken #nanjing #nanjingfoodguide

Location: 21世纪太阳城 百家湖 The Sun city plaza is one of the places that is eye catching in Baijiahu. This shopping complex is just about 5 minutes walk from the subway station and is easy to find . There is even a hot spring inside the mall and a huge dinosaur outside which makes it more remarkable . The third floor houses a playground for children and there are restaurants and stores all round as well as a cinema . The design of the mall is very eye catching #shopping #shoppingmall #nanjing #nanjingtravel #baijiahu

Baijiahu is a small commercial center akin to Xinjiekou which is at the city center . There are several malls , restaurants and shops as well as a small amusement park for kids. The restaurants range from several western and Chinese as well as buffets . The 1912 street is very popular and is always bustling with people . You can have a view of the city from the Ferris wheel and enjoy a stroll by the river . #baijiahu #nightlife #nanjing

Location : This bar and restaurant is located at 1912 Baijiahu . It’s easy to spot right besides the big 1912 sign . The ambiance is everything for a chill night out and they have good food and a variety of drinks. I’d recommend the grilled chicken to have . The prices are also reasonable and you can have a full meal under 100 RMB . The workers are so welcoming and helpful. There are lots of western restaurants around but this one holds its own . #urbanexplorer #foodie #restaurant
