Spring in Nanjing: Magnolias in Bloom

💐Magnolias can be found in many places in Nanjing, such as parks, residential areas, streets, and campuses. If you want to see magnolias in Nanjing, Linggu Temple and Chaotian Palace are recommended. Although there are not many magnolias in these two places (two in Linggu Temple and four or five in Chaotian Palace), the ancient buildings in the background make the flowers breathtakingly beautiful when they bloom! The white magnolias, red palace walls, and yellow temples are a perfect match! 🕒Magnolias usually bloom from late February to early March, and the flowering period is very short, about a week. If the temperature is high, the flowers will fall faster, and you will have to wait another year if you miss them. 📷Magnolia trees are relatively tall, and both places have relatively high corridors, making it easy to take photos of people and flowers together. There are many people when the flowers are in bloom. 📍Linggu Temple Scenic Area, Nanjing 🎟Tickets: 35, park annual pass available ⏰Linggu Temple opening hours: 8:00–16:30 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to Xiaolingwei Station, and transfer to Bus 202 to Linggu Temple Station (not Linggu Temple Road Station) 📍Chaotian Palace Scenic Area, Nanjing 🎟Tickets: 25, park annual pass available, closed on Mondays ⏰Opening hours: 9:00–17:00 🚇Transportation: Take Bus 43, 302, or 306 to Wangfu Street Chaotian Palace Station
