Cherry blossoms bloom splendidly in the Tower City
Every year in March and April, Nanjing's Tower City becomes a world of cherry blossoms.
Along the city walls of the Tower City, inside is the Cherry Blossom Avenue of Jiming Temple, and outside is the sea of cherry blossoms at Xuanwu Lake.
A sea of people, a sea of flowers, the best spot for sightseeing and checking in is to climb up the Tower City.
Don't hesitate to come and enjoy the cherry blossoms; if you miss this season, you'll have to wait another year.
