Nanjing's Hidden Artistic Oasis｜Bamboo Forest, Ink Fragrance, and an Afternoon Coffee

In Pukou, Nanjing, there is a rarely known tranquil spot—Qiuyushan Cultural Park. This place is not only a sacred site for calligraphy but also a 60-acre "urban bamboo forest secret realm." It is quiet with few people, free to enter, and a private treasure for those who truly appreciate life. 🌿 Park Highlights · Four Masters Memorial Halls: Memorial halls of four calligraphy masters—Lin Sanzhi, Xiao Xian, Gao Ershi, and Hu Xiaoshi—are located here, perfectly blending authentic calligraphy works with garden art. · Lin Sanzhi Memorial Hall: The earliest built hall in the park, styled after Jiangnan gardens, surrounded by bamboo groves, connected by waterside pavilions, with winding stele corridors. Mandarin ducks and black swans swim in the lake, full of Zen ambiance. · Bamboo Forest Energy Field: A dense 60-acre bamboo forest forms a natural oxygen bar. Walking through it, you are surrounded by lush greenery and the fresh scent of plants. · Hidden Treasure Café: The "Qing·Please Sit" café is tucked within the forest. After a stroll, stop here for a cup of coffee, with green views filling the windows, and time slows down. 📸 Photography and Experience · Every step in the park offers a new scene—pavilions, waterside terraces, white walls, and black tiles—perfect for shooting ancient-style, qipao, or modern Chinese-themed portraits. · Afternoon light filters through bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on the stele corridor, an excellent moment to capture light and shadow. 💡 Practical Information · 🏠 Name: Qiuyushan Cultural Park · 📍 Address: No. 48 Yushan Road, Jiangpu Street, Pukou District · 🅿️ Parking: Paid parking lot, 1 RMB/hour (very cost-effective) · 🎫 Admission: Free · ✨ Keywords: Few people, quiet, free, artistic, photogenic If you are tired of crowded tourist spots, why not take a walk in Qiuyushan?
