Nanjing, you have such great places and haven’t promoted them earlier?

Pukou District in Nanjing is seriously underrated. Having lived here for 3 years, I only just found out about these photo hotspots today!! I’ll explain all at once how to enjoy them. If you’re coming to Nanjing for National Day and don’t want to plan a complicated itinerary, just follow this for a relaxed two-day, one-night trip～ Pearl Spring ➡️ Danxi Hot Spring Lakeside Residence ➡️ Jiulong Lake Wanderer Wild ➡️ Ancient Huiji Temple 💡 Pearl Spring The first stop is the Nanjing Little Jiuzhaigou—Pearl Spring. The blue-green jelly-like water surface bubbles up like “pearls popping” when you clap your hands. The spring water gushes out from rock crevices like strings of tiny diamonds, and the small fish swimming clearly at the bottom make it a perfect forest-style photo spot. 💡 Danxi Hot Spring Lakeside Residence A real-life “One Thousand and One Nights,” the white arched buildings float by the lake. At night, when lit up, it instantly becomes a beautiful moonlight treasure box. Every corner is photogenic, especially the courtyard and the rooftop infinity pool. Wearing plain-colored clothes is a must for great photos. 💡 Ancient Huiji Temple Head here on the second morning. This is the most beautiful spot in Nanjing during autumn and winter. Three Southern Dynasties ginkgo trees turn yellow, creating a real-life “Zen painting.” It’s quiet with few people and free to visit. After touring, your heart will feel peaceful! 💡 Jiulong Lake Wanderer Wild Come here at dusk for the perfect time. The Bohemian vibe combined with the sunset glow creates an amazing photo atmosphere. You don’t need to bring anything—just come empty-handed and have fun. There’s even a pet house where you can cuddle the animals!
