Nanjing Chishan Lake Wetland Park ~ Best Sightseeing Route

Visiting date: November 30th to December 1st There is free parking at the entrance and roadside parking is also available. The pond cypress is in full bloom and there are a lot of people on weekends, so it is best to go on weekdays. Entrance tickets, train tickets and boat tickets can be purchased separately, or as a package, or together with accommodation. It is recommended to stay overnight and walk on the plank road in the evening and early morning when there are few people and it is easy to take pictures. There are wooden villas, houseboats and standard rooms to choose from, and prices vary with the season. Sunrise at 6:50. Watch the sunrise on the road in front of the visitor center at 6:40. Then go to the plank road to take pictures of the morning mist. Return to the restaurant at 8 o'clock for breakfast (included in the room rate). The breakfast is simple and filling. The restaurant tastes good, but the quantity is small and the price is high. You can eat at the several farmhouses at the door. I recommend "Sister Qian". At 8:30, take the electric car to catch the boat. After getting off the car, walk forward and get on the boat at the pier with a red flag. The round trip takes about 20 minutes. At this time, a large number of tourists have arrived. Walk back, cross the plank road back to the tourist center, take a bus to the gate, and buy lotus roots for 5 yuan per pound (there are old and crispy ones. The old lotus roots are used to make soup and lotus root cakes, and the crispy lotus roots are fried. When you go out the door, you will see locals setting up stalls to sell vegetables. They are fresh and reasonably priced, so you can buy them. On the way back, we went to Huiji Temple and Huayan Temple 👀 Ginkgo.
