Currently, early cherry blossoms such as Tsubaki-kanzakura, Okanzakura, and Bellflower Cherry are in full bloom) → Bulb and Herbaceous Flower Garden (next to Cherry Blossom Avenue, you can enjoy cherry blossoms and various other flowers) 🌟Nearby Attractions: 1. Nanjing Forestry University: Right next to Lovers' Garden, the cherry blossom avenue on campus is also stunning. With over 80 cherry trees of various species planted in the 1960s, it has a rich history. The campus is open to the public from March 18 to March 31. 2. Jiming Temple: One of Nanjing's most famous cherry blossom viewing spots. When the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the entire road is bathed in romantic pink. However, it can get crowded, so visiting on a working day is recommended. 3. Yingzhou Island, Xuanwu Lake: After leaving Lovers' Garden, you can directly enter Xuanwu Lake. Yingzhou Island is known as the "Sea of Cherry Blossoms," with thousands of cherry trees and Orychophragmus violaceus creating a picturesque scene. The Nine-Bend Corridor on Yingzhou Island has a classical charm. You can also take photos of cherry blossoms with the reflection of Xuanwu Lake at Fangqiao Lakeside. Take your friends on a spontaneous trip! Come and enjoy the cherry blossoms with your friends!
