This might be the best 15 yuan I've ever spent in Nanjing…

Take my advice❗ All friends visiting Nanjing must not miss this place. For just a 15 yuan ticket, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake, capture the ancient and modern frame of Jiming Temple and Zijin Tower, and avoid the crowds at Jiming Temple✌🏻 You can get many amazing photo spots with Jiming Temple in the frame📸 It's just too awesome. . 🧭 Location: Nanjing City Wall (from Jiefang Gate to Taiping Gate section) 🎫 Ticket: 15 yuan ⏰ Time for visiting and photography: about 1 hour . 📷 Photo spot tips: 1️⃣ It’s recommended to come about an hour before sunset in the afternoon to see Jiming Temple and Xuanwu Lake under the sunset, making your photos more atmospheric 😊 2️⃣ After getting on the city wall, walk to the right and take framed shots of Xuanwu Lake through the archway of Jiefang Gate. It looks great, and on sunny days, Xuanwu Lake is as blue as the sea. 3️⃣ Climb up on the left side of the small museum on the city wall to take photos with Jiming Temple and Zijin Tower in the same frame; climb up on the right side of the museum to unlock different angle shots with Jiming Temple. 4️⃣ Walk towards Taiping Gate to capture the ancient and modern frame of Zijin Tower and Yaoshi Pagoda. . ❤️ Tips for visiting: 1️⃣ You can fly drones on the city wall, but there are many trees. If you use a DJI Mini 3 or similar, signal loss is common 😂. It’s recommended to bring a 4G module (mid-to-high-end drones don’t have this problem). 2️⃣ Afternoon photos are taken with side backlighting; you can use a flash or reflector to light up your face.
