In Nanjing, you must experience the Nanjing Purple Mountain Manor and feel its unique charm.
As you step into the manor, a tranquil green landscape greets you, making you almost forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The manor is surrounded by mountains and water, with blooming flowers in spring, cool breezes in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. As the seasons change, I find peace of mind and relaxation here.
In the morning, open the window to see distant mountains and shimmering lakes. Take a walk along the lakeside, breathe in the fresh air rich in negative ions, and listen to the chirping of birds, as if nature is whispering in your ear. Such a morning is perfect for brewing a pot of tea, sitting on the balcony, reading a book, or simply daydreaming and enjoying the rare leisure.
In the afternoon, sunlight filters through the dense leaves, casting dappled shadows. I jog along the forest path, feeling the joy of breathing in sync with nature. Occasionally, I meet fellow nature lovers, and we nod and smile at each other, as if we are all kindred spirits in this secret garden.
In the evening, I choose to have dinner at the manor's restaurant. Most of the ingredients are locally sourced, fresh, and healthy. The Jinling salted duck, with its crispy skin and tender meat, is especially authentic and satisfying for a foodie like me. After dinner, I watch an outdoor movie at the manor's open-air theater. Under the starry sky, the light and shadow on the screen blend with the stars, creating a unique atmosphere.
At night, lying on the soft bed, I reflect on the day's experiences, feeling grateful and content. Nanjing Purple Mountain Manor, a hidden paradise on the edge of the city, offers an unforgettable vacation experience. Whether you're a solo traveler seeking tranquility or a family looking for deep relaxation, this is the perfect choice.
