Half-day Mochou Lake Park Begonia Flower Viewing, with a Photography Map Guide

Route: Mochou Lake Park North Gate - Mochou Water Courtyard - Shanghé Pavilion Swan Begonia - Mochou Lake Park South Gate ⏰Mochou Lake Park: Opens at 7:00 am -Mochou Water Courtyard: Opens at 8:00 am (8:30 am at the latest) . 🏨Accommodation Recommendation: Jinling Hotel (where I stayed) If you want to beat the crowds of photography enthusiasts, you must stay near the scenic spot and walk there. This hotel offers great value for money. Although the hardware facilities are average, the price of 440 yuan for 2 days is very affordable, and it's just a stone's throw away from the north gate of Mochou Lake Park. 🌸Photography Route (Picture 2) The route map is in Picture 2 for your reference. Since I live near the north gate, it doesn't take much time to walk there in the morning. After entering the park, it's a beautiful begonia view all the way. 🌸Mochou Water Courtyard (Pictures 1, 3-9) As you can see from the map, Mochou Water Courtyard is actually closer to the south gate. Although the park opens at 7:00 am, this small courtyard doesn't open until 8:00 am, and sometimes even later, depending on the mood of the gatekeeper. The latest time is 8:30 am, so if you go early, you might have to wait at the gate. You can take some pictures outside the gate while waiting; it's also very beautiful. 🌸Swan Cherry Blossoms (Pictures 12, 13, 14) After taking pictures of the water courtyard, don't forget to go to Shanghé Pavilion to admire the Swan Begonia. The whole lakeside is great for taking pictures. 🌸Other Begonia Locations (Pictures 10, 11) 1️⃣Park South Gate: There are many begonias at the south gate, and they are all pink weeping begonias. This sight also attracts many people to visit. 2️⃣In addition to the two famous spots, the entire park is actually themed around begonias, so there are begonia flowers everywhere. In addition to weeping begonias, there are also Xifu begonias, with many locations forming flower forests. 📅Flower Viewing Time My flower viewing time was March 23, 2024. Generally, the best time is the last two weeks of March, similar to the cherry blossom season. The specific time also depends on the temperature in Nanjing that year. If the highest temperature exceeds 20 degrees Celsius and the weather is sunny, the flowers will bloom quickly. . ▫️▫️Photography Information▫️▫️ 📷｜SONY A7R4 💻｜Lr+Ps Ⓒ LINKEY PHOTOGRAPHY Unauthorized reproduction prohibited
