Gulin Park, a prime spot for plum blossom viewing in Nanjing
🌈About the attraction: Gulin Park was built on the site of the former Gulin Temple, from which it derives its name. Gulin Temple was built during the Liang Dynasty and has undergone several periods of prosperity and decline. The park was approved for construction in 1981, opened to the public in 1984, and in 1992, it became China's third-largest peony and tree peony base.
🚗Getting there:
Subway: Take Subway Line 4 or Line 7 to Caochangmen Station. Exit from Exit 5 and walk straight for 600 meters.
- Bus: Several bus routes, including Route 532, stop at Gulin Park Station.
👍️Must-see attractions:
Upon entering the park, you'll find Plum Blossom Hill, where various plum blossoms are planted, including red, pink, wintersweet, and white varieties.
💗Overall impression:
Conveniently located and great for taking photos, the park attracts a moderate number of visitors. Due to the limited number of pavilions, terraces, and the absence of a lake, it is slightly less refined compared to the plum blossoms at Xuanwu Lake.
