Strolling through Nanjing, you can always find a gift from time at the corner of the street. This off-the-beaten-path itinerary will take you to discover the unique charm of Nanjing. Start your day at Zhongshan Wharf and take a ferry across the Yangtze River. The rusty iron gate and mottled wooden chairs from the Republic of China era outline the contours of the old days in the morning light. Looking out the window at the river, the cargo ship drags out long ripples, and you seem to see the platform in Zhu Ziqing's "Back Shadow." After landing, head west to Jinghai Temple, a Ming Dynasty temple open to the public for free, which hides the secret of Zheng He's voyages to the West. The ancient ginkgo trees in the courtyard sprinkle gold, and the inscriptions of "Edict to Overseas Countries" in the stele gallery are faintly discernible. The heroic feat of the treasure ship breaking the waves six hundred years ago is frozen in time here. Looking far away at Yuejiang Tower, this famous tower, which has been empty for six hundred years, stands majestically on the top of Lion Mountain. The vermilion columns reflect the blue sky, and if you have time, you can climb to the top to see the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge lying across the river like steel strings. The smoke of war when Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang seems to still linger in the wind. In the afternoon, head to Qingliang Mountain, where the moss is mottled between the bricks and stones of the city wall. Standing on the ruins and looking down, modern buildings and the Ming city wall intersect in the shadows of the trees, and the sense of history is overwhelming. As the sun sets, the weeping willows by Mochou Lake dip into the water, and the fragrance of lotus is faint. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Xuanwu Lake, this place is more tranquil. The melodious sound of the huqin played by the old Nanjing people in the corridor, combined with the egrets flying over the lake, creates an ink painting-like scene. Then, pass through Gulou Square, where the glass curtain wall of Zifeng Tower reflects the red walls and flying eaves of Gulou Park, and the morning bell of the Ming Dynasty resonates wonderfully with the modern second hand. As dusk approaches, head straight to Jincheng Book City. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor, the sunset is dyeing the clouds into a gradient of orange and pink, and the reflection of the city on the glass overlaps with the real skyline. In the sound of turning pages, the entire city of Nanjing seems to become a poetry collection that can be read. The beauty of this ancient city, in addition to the popular attractions, is also waiting for those with a heart to slowly savor.

Mochou Lake, historically known as Shicheng Lake and Hengtang, is located in the Shuiximen Street area outside Shuiximen in Jianye District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The lake covers an area of 32.33 hectares, with a length of about 680 meters from north to south and a width of about 770 meters from east to west. The lake surface elevation is 4 meters. It is the second largest lake in Nanjing's main urban area, second only to Xuanwu Lake. It is known as the "First Famous Lake in Jiangnan" and the "First Scenic Spot in Jinling". Mochou Lake is a shallow lake and a remnant of the ancient Yangtze River channel. During the Eastern Wu period, the area around Mochou Lake was part of the Jiangzhu region. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the silt at the mouth of the Qinhuai River gradually accumulated and slowly moved northwest to Sancha River. The main channel of the Yangtze River also gradually moved northwest, causing the Bai Lu Zhou in the Yangtze River near Jiangdongmen to connect with the shore. The low-lying area at the confluence of the original Yangtze River and Qinhuai River left many ponds and lakes, and Mochou Lake formed as a lake during this period. On December 14, 1928, Mochou Lake was designated as Mochou Lake Park by the Nanjing National Government. In December 2019, Mochou Lake Park was announced as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism. In August 2022, Mochou Lake was included in the cultural heritage protection list of place names in Jianye District, Nanjing.

In the early morning, in Nanjing's Mochou Lake Park, countless swallows and white-headed wagtails fly low and circle around. Along with the croaking of numerous frogs and the playful antics of cormorants and wild ducks, it seems like a beautiful and moving animal symphony is being performed. In midsummer, the fragrance of lotuses fills the air. It is said that Mochou Lake Park has thousands of varieties and 300,000 lotus flowers blooming in competition. Each lotus flower is like a meticulously crafted artwork. Some are in bud, shyly hiding among the leaves; others are fully open, with petals spread out, revealing tender yellow lotus pods. Above these blooming lotuses, birds gracefully circle, sometimes flying low over the lotus leaves, sometimes weaving among the lotus flowers, their elegant postures dancing gracefully. Mochou Lake Park, in this midsummer season, with its unique charm, has become a rare summer resort in the city, deeply experiencing the endless charm and harmonious beauty bestowed by nature.

The willows by the lake are like smoke, the clouds over the lake are like a dream, and the waves of the lake are stronger than wine. The midsummer Mochou Lake is a flowing painting, every moment is full of change and vitality. Sunlight pours onto the lake surface, the water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the colors of the sky. A gentle breeze stirs the lake surface, creating ripples, like layers of fine brushstrokes adorning it. The water is like jade, the mountains like ink. Clouds imagine clothes, flowers imagine beauty. In the midsummer Mochou Lake, the whole lake is filled with lotuses standing gracefully in the green waves. Lotus leaves are like covers, layer upon layer, full of greenery. Lotuses are like shy maidens, looking even more charming against the green leaves. Some are in bud, some are in full bloom. In midsummer, come to Mochou Lake, enjoy a lake full of blooming lotuses, and find a place of coolness.

Mochou Lake holds a significant place in the hearts of Nanjing residents. When spring blossoms, attending a Begonia Flower Meeting at Mochou Lake is an essential ritual of spring. Having visited Mochou Lake and seen the begonias, one should also glance at the white marble carving of Lady Mochou, reminiscing about the legends lost for over a thousand years, to truly complete the spring experience. Mochou Lake is the second largest lake in the main urban area of Nanjing, next to Xuanwu Lake, and is known as 'the number one famous lake in the south of the Yangtze River' and 'the number one scenic spot in Jinling'. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Mochou Lake was the private estate of the descendants of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, Xu's family. The garden, with its lake and mountain views, is extremely picturesque, featuring pavilions and towers such as 'Si Mei Tang' and 'Sheng Qi Lou', making it one of the famous gardens in Jinling. Wang Shizhen praised it as 'the number one scenic spot in the old capital'. Zhu Zhifan, the top scholar, listed Mochou Lake as 'the number one scenic spot in Jinling' in his 'Forty Views of Jinling'. Location: No. 132, Shuiximen Street, Jianye District, Nanjing. Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to Mochou Lake Station, and walk 500 meters from Exit 2.

I first learned about Mochou Lake from the song 'Mo Chou Ah Mo Chou' sung by Zhu Mingying: Strolling by Mochou Lake Spring's splendor fills the branches Flowers shyly smile The waters are also gentle Leave a shadow by Mochou Lake The landscape is beautiful, and the people are elegant Ah Mo Chou, Ah Mo Chou I urge you not to worry... Today, reading these lyrics, they still feel vivid and fitting. In early April, when we visited Mochou Lake, we encountered weather that was intermittently overcast and rainy. The lakeshore was adorned with competing flowers and willows swaying gently, and the vast lake surface was undisturbed. No wonder 'Mochou in the misty rain' is ranked first among the forty-eight scenic spots of Jinling, truly living up to its reputation. Famous attractions in Mochou Lake Park also include Shengqi Tower, Huayan An, Yukin Hall, Mochou Shuiyuan, Qiwen Pavilion, and the tombs of the fallen soldiers of the Yue Army. Speaking of Shengqi Tower, one must tell the story of Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang playing chess. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, often played chess with Xu Da, the King of Zhongshan, here. Although Xu Da was highly skilled, he always lost on purpose. Zhu Yuanzhang, knowing that Xu Da was letting him win, insisted that he play seriously. In the end, Xu Da arranged the pieces to form the characters for 'long live,' and although Zhu Yuanzhang lost the game, he was very pleased and bestowed the tower to Xu Da, hence the name 'Shengqi Tower.' Shengqi Tower was destroyed in war but was rebuilt in 1871 and renovated again in 1953. This two-story Xieshan-style brick and wood structure brings a sense of historical and cultural depth and an elegant simplicity to the park. Mochou Lake is named after a woman named Mochou who once lived on its shore. Mochou Shuiyuan is one of the favorite photography spots for enthusiasts. At that time, many elders with professional cameras were taking turns shooting from the same spot. I joined in the fun and took a picture with my phone, and the result was the photo with the words 'No worries upon arrival.' 'No worries upon arrival'—a beautiful wish for you, me, and everyone... The park is free of charge

Mochou Lake Park is full of blossoms. 🌟Highlights: Mochou Lake Park is blooming with flowers all year round. As a free park, it's simply outstanding. 👍Most recommended: These photos were taken on 4/27. ✅Enter through the North Gate, and you'll first see a wall of Chinese roses. Turn left at the intersection, and you'll be by the lake. ✅A few steps further, in a small pond, there are several delicate water lilies. Next month, this place will be full of lotus flowers. ✅Continue on, and you'll reach the Iris Garden, which is mostly yellow with very few purples. The photos look a bit cluttered. 🚉Transportation Tips: The parking lot is near the West Gate, reasonably priced, but you should come early.

40 years after graduating from a university in Nanjing, I have never visited Mochou Lake again. This trip is not too tight, so I can arrange to revisit the old place. After entering, I saw a pond of lake water, which is much larger than before, or to say that I had no real impression of the lake surface before, and my memory is more about the Lady of Mochou. According to the introduction, Mochou Lake has undergone several renovations to become what it is today, improving the environment of Mochou Lake. It was only after walking around the entire Mochou Lake that I realized we used to enter from the south gate, walk around the perimeter, and then leave. Perhaps at that time, there was no loop formed, nor was there a north gate.

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 🌸 Nanjing is absolutely stunning with its blooming crabapple flowers! 🌸 Buchou Lake Park is the go-to spot in the city to enjoy these beautiful blossoms. Even in rainy weather, the crabapple flowers continue to charm everyone. Among them, the hanging silk crabapple is a favorite for taking photos and checking in because of its vibrant color. No need to worry about finding a good spot! The area near the Buddha statue, as well as the lakeside embankment and plantings, are all adorned with hanging silk crabapple trees. The flowering time for these spring flowers is usually not too long. Right now, the crabapple flowers at the gate of Mochou Lake Park are the first to bloom and are starting to fade. The crabapple flowers in other places are in the middle of their blooming period. So, if you want to enjoy them, make sure to catch the good weather in the next few days. 📸 On March 25th, 2024, head to 132 Shuiximen Street, Mochou Lake Park, to capture the beauty of the crabapple flowers.

Even in rainy weather, the crabapple flowers still bloom with a charming charm. Among them, the hanging silk crabapple is the preferred choice for idle people to take photos and check in due to its brighter color, and it is not a worry. The area near your Buddha statue, as well as the lakeside embankment and planting are all hanging silk crabapple. The flowering time of spring flowers is not too long in general. With this model of crabapple, several crabapple flowers at the gate of Mochou Lake Park are the first to bloom and have entered the declining period. The crabapple flowers in other places belong to the middle of the flowering period. The kids who want to enjoy them will catch the good weather for the next few days. Shooter: March 25th, 2024 Address: 132 Shuiximen Street Muchou Lake Park has two main gates, and the address above is the south gate of the park. It is the most convenient to enter and see the crabapple flowers from here. The Mochou Lake Station on Metro Line 2 is the north gate to the park) Wishing everyone a happy viewing of the flowers!
