Heavenly Blossoms in Nanjing—Skip Jiming Temple This Year!

#cherryblossom25 Forget the crowds at Jiming Temple—Nanjing’s Guanyin Gate is the true cherry blossom dreamland this season. I visited during peak bloom, and the layers of sakura cascading down the hillside made it feel like I was standing before a celestial palace. Locals are calling it “a glimpse of heaven”—and they’re not wrong! Location: 📍Guanyin Gate Scenic Area (opposite Yanziji Middle School) Ⓜ️ Take Metro Line 1, exit at Yanziji Station, Exit 3. Walk about 10 minutes. 🎫 Entry is free! Photo Tips: 1. Drone view gives breathtaking layered shots—zoom recommended. 2. From Yongji Avenue near the Yanziji Toutaidong bus stop, use a telephoto lens or 5x phone zoom to capture the cherry blossom avenue stretching into the distance. The atmosphere? Absolutely poetic.
