The viewing platform also offers a great view, with the beauty of mountains and plains all in sight. 2️⃣ Time Art Valley: The avant-garde bookstore is a must-visit in Nanjing. The one in the park is small but exquisite, it's just that there are too few books. 3️⃣ Floating Stone Palace: Passing through the palace, there is a long escalator that leads to the viewing platform. The Yi Chi Garden Restaurant on top is quite nice, with beautiful scenery and good taste. 4️⃣ Su Yun Hui Valley: Gathering 13 gardens of Jiangsu, every floor and pavilion is a scene! The garden pavilions under the evening sky and lights have a different charm. 5️⃣ Flame Encounter Fireworks Show: It's said to be beautiful, but we didn't see it.

Planning to meet with long-lost friends, briefly escape from urban life, winter is the best season for hot springs, we agreed to start from Nanjing, start a winter dream self-driving journey! 【My Itinerary】 DAY1 Jiangsu Garden Expo Park——Tangshan Fangshan Geological Park Museum——Ape Man Cave——Tangshan Mine Park——Starry Sky Restaurant——Enjoy private soup at Tangshan Yitang Hot Spring Hotel DAY2 Jinwu Hot Spring Park——She Village——Stay in She Village DAY3 Niushou Mountain——Jinling Town 【Travel Highlights】 Tangshan Mine Park As soon as we got off the high-speed rail, we went straight to Tangshan. The Pioneer Bookstore in the Mine Park is very suitable for checking in, and it is indeed the case. The park retains the original style and terrain of the mine, and the industrial style is full. This used to be a quarry, so a part of the quarry mountain body is retained, which is also suitable for the popular camping. ✨Pioneer Bookstore The bookstore here is a mine style. Its red brick exterior wall matches the cylindrical appearance and the mine theme. It is also very photogenic inside, and you can become a literary youth in minutes. The bookstore has two floors, the first floor is the book buying area and the cafe, and the second floor is the reading area, with a large staircase for taking pictures. ⭐️Tangshan Fangshan Geological Museum The first floor is the ticket office and some cultural and creative products, and there will also be some temporary exhibitions. The second floor is the formal exhibition part, the stratigraphic scriptures—Nanjing’s six hundred million years of biological evolution and the environmental changes of Nanjing Tangshan, which detailedly introduces the secrets of geological structure, and there is also a place for children to dig sand for archaeology. The third floor is the origin of Nanjing erectus, and there is also an exhibition hall about the history of Tangshan hot springs. Tracing back the evolution of life in the Nanjing area over the past 600 million years, I have always liked to check in at the museum, highly recommended. ⭐️Ape Man Cave The Ape Man Cave is very close to the Geological Museum, parking is free, and travel is super convenient. It takes a little walk from the entrance of the scenic spot to the cave. The inside is a different world. It is said that the cave is 18 degrees Celsius all year round. The interior is a strangely shaped stalactite, as if it has come to the center of the earth, and there are purple and blue light decorations, which are very atmospheric. Jinling Town Who would have thought that there is a hidden treasure antique town near Niushou Mountain, Jinling Town is very suitable for taking Hanfu photos, in fact, it is more suitable for taking night scenes here, when the lights are on, it is a romantic and elegant wonderland. Niushou Mountain I chose to offer incense between work and school, and the holy place of prayer that I have been thinking about for a long time—Nanjing Niushou Mountain, Today's wish is fulfilled! ⭐️Private soup time Tangshan is also called the hometown of hot springs. This time our highlight is soaking in the soup. We chose Yitang Hot Spring Hotel, which has both outdoor hot spring pools to see the ancient buildings of Jinwu Hot Spring Park, and courtyard private soup in the guest room. The outdoor hot spring pool can see the sunset, and there is an infinity pool outside the hot spring pool. Isn't this the ins style, put on a new swimsuit, and you can show off your figure in the bloated winter.

Nanjing really has a firm grasp on Chinese-style romance. The stars have not faded, the fire 🔥 has not ceased, and in the moment when the colorful splendor scatters across the sky, I feel as if I have traveled through a thousand years and finally understand the meaning of using this as a blessing in ancient times! In addition, the scenic area not only has 2.45 million square meters of Jiangsu garden landscape, restoring the ancient charm of Song Dynasty culture, but also integrates modern cultural and creative design. If you don't know where to go during the holidays, I highly recommend the Garden Expo Park! ✅ Travel Tips: The whole scenic area is very large, with many attractions and activities, so it won't feel too crowded even during the May Day holiday. There are various stations set up between the attractions, and you can take a bus 🚌 to get there. — 1️⃣ Iron Flower Fireworks Performance Melt iron at temperatures above 1600 degrees into molten iron, and in an instant, the iron flowers splash around, a romantic journey through a thousand years, both beautiful and magnificent, truly worthy of being an intangible cultural heritage performance! After that, there are romantic fireworks 🎆, blooming one after another in the night sky, definitely worth the price of admission! 👉 Performance time: 19:00 (occasionally changes, will be broadcast) 2️⃣ Flower God Garden Performance There are Flower God performances every day until May 25th. The twelve Flower Gods come to celebrate spring, performing various wonderful stories among the flowers, making one dream back to a thousand years ago!! 👉 Show times: 10:30-17:35 There are many performances throughout the day, at different times and locations. When you arrive, you can first check the performance schedule, plan your time accordingly. I watched the afternoon show in the Nanjing Garden. 3️⃣ Spring Camping 🏕️ There is a camping area in the Time Art Valley, with barbecue BBQ available for direct ordering, freshly grilled for eating, and there is also an outdoor live music scene to enjoy, quite pleasant. If you are with children, there is also a children's play area, a small train station, a pioneer bookstore, etc., where you can easily spend an entire afternoon. 4️⃣ Garden and Wild Market Trunk markets, delicious snacks, creative stalls...
