0.5h direct! This lesser-known "Little Kyoto" near Nanjing is truly amazing

Baohua Mountain · Qianhua Ancient Town Address: Baohua Mountain Road, Jurong City, Jiangsu Province (near Xianlin) 🚗 Transportation: 0.5h drive from Nanjing, tested with no traffic jams, only 30-40 minutes to get there! 💰 Tickets: ✔️ 8 RMB with Nanjing Tourism Annual Card ❌ 50 RMB without annual card (includes Baohua Mountain + Ancient Town) ✨ Little tip: Free entry after 17:00! 💓 Reasons to visit: - Few people and beautiful scenery! Every shot feels like a "Little Kyoto" 🏯 - Perfect half-day trip choice ~ The ancient town is small but exquisite, strolling slowly is very pleasant - Sweet water shop is super photogenic 📸, perfect for a rest when tired from walking - The ancient town lit up at night is even more charming ✨ (Must come back at night next time!) ⚠️ Pitfall tips: - Not many shops 🙅‍♀️ Recommended to visit after meals - Be cautious when climbing the mountain! Too hot and stuffy can cause heatstroke 🔥 - Park on the small hill beside the ancient town (free 🆓), don’t park in the wrong place! 📷 Photo tips: - Best lighting around 4-5 PM! - Wearing Hanfu or Japanese-style clothes makes photos even better~ - Sunny days are absolutely perfect! 💡 Personal experience: Went during National Day and there were performances! Although I didn’t climb much, wandering, eating, and taking photos in the ancient town was more than enough~ Great value for money! Next time, definitely coming back to enjoy the romantic atmosphere with the lights on at night!
