During the May Day holiday, the reverse travel trend hits Nanjing, and places with a breeze are truly devoid of people
During the May Day holiday, the popular tourist spots in Nanjing will surely be overcrowded.
If you don't want to be stuck in the crowded city, you can visit the breezy places in Nanjing—Jiangning Guanyin Temple Village.
This little village, blooming with flowers, is incredibly beautiful, and even during the holidays, it's not overrun with tourists.
Right now, the village's roses and clematis are in full bloom, with May Day being the peak of the flowering season -
The lake in the middle of the village is filled with pink water lilies, resembling Monet's garden, so beautiful that words fail to describe it.
The green lawn by the lake is perfect for a family or friends to set up a tent, lie back, and relax.
There's also a small children's playground nearby, where kids can play in the sand, climb rocks, and play games...
Spending a leisurely holiday here is really nice.
If you want to stay overnight, the local B&Bs are quite distinctive. We chose the Starry Sky Bubble House in the village.
It's one of the earliest starry bubble house B&Bs in Nanjing, with a great environment. There are 12 bubble houses, each named after a zodiac sign.
There are double and triple bubble options, so you can choose according to your needs.
The rose wall at the bubble house is very pretty, perfect for taking photos and checking in.
Sitting under the canopy, sipping afternoon tea, admiring the flowers, and petting the clingy cats,
This must be what it feels like to steal a little leisure in a busy life.
Staying here also includes a complimentary vegetable picking experience, with the field right next to the B&B.
In the evening, while enjoying the breeze, you can pull Chinese lettuce and dig radishes in the field, which is really healing.
Jiangning Guanyin Temple Village admission: Free
Transportation: Suitable for self-driving, just navigate to Jiangning Guanyin Temple Village. There's a free parking lot at the entrance of the village. If you're staying at the Starry Sky Bubble House, you can park right next to the B&B.

Small tips:
Across the road from Guanyin Temple Village is the Nanjing Ginkgo Lake Park. If you're visiting the park, staying in Guanyin Temple is very convenient. During holidays, Ginkgo Lake Park has fireworks, which can be seen from the village.
