I have never seen such magnificent ginkgo trees.

Including Confucius Temple and Egret Island, mainly to admire the ginkgo trees, but I still checked in at some classic spots. The ginkgo trees at Confucius Temple are in full bloom, while Jiufeng Temple is a bit sparse. Finally, here are some photos of Pilu Temple from before. I didn't expect Pilu Temple to go from a niche temple last year to a top hotspot all of a sudden. But the autumn scenery in Nanjing is truly stunning.

Nanjing Confucius Temple

Just back from Nanjing and seriously, this city is a vibe 😍 Between rainy streets, modern buildings, and dreamy river views, it’s got that “old-meets-new” magic you won’t find anywhere else. Here’s my quick guide for making the most of your visit — especially if you love soaking in local culture and catching jaw-dropping architecture at night. 🚶♂️🌃 Top Spots to Visit in Nanjing: 1. The Confucius Temple (Fuzimiao) Address: Gongyuan St, Qinhuai District Open: 8am–9pm The area is perfect for night walks. The lights reflecting off the river and historic bridges are unreal! Tip: Head indoors if it’s rainy — there’s always something to see. 2. Xuanwu Lake Park Address: Xuanwu District Open: 6am–9pm Even in cloudy weather, the lakeside paths and gardens offer epic photo ops. Don’t skip it — nature lovers, this is your spot. 3. Nanjing Eye Footbridge + Riverside Address: Yuzui Wetlands Park, Jianye District Modern architecture fans, head here at dusk. The LED-lit bridge pops against stormy skies and you get views along the riverside. IG-worthy for sure. 4. Presidential Palace Address: 292 Changjiang Rd, Xuanwu District Open: 8:30am–5pm Dive into Chinese history surrounded by lush courtyards. Bonus: the interiors are ornate and ideal for indoor shots on rainy days. Getting Around: Metro is the fastest, cheapest way — get a transport card for easy tap-in/tap-out access! Taxis are everywhere but traffic gets hectic in the evening. Eat This: Try duck blood soup or salted duck at a riverside spot near Fuzimiao. Most are open till late, and rainy weather makes the steamy bowls even better. Travel Tip: Pack an umbrella, weather flips fast in Nanjing. Night shots under city lights will upgrade your photo game even if it’s raining. #NanjingVibes #ChinaTravel #RiverViews #ModernMeetsHistory #Tripdotcom
