The North Garden is bigger and more colorful, and there are various rope bridges in the New World that are not open at present, and they are under maintenance! There are too many elderly people who watch flowers, and many unconscious elderly flower viewers are very disgusting! The South Park is not big, very neat, there is an electric car rental at the door, 60 yuan an hour, the boss is very enthusiastic, saying that even if you eat about ten minutes, it doesn't matter! Crescent Bay has different scenery throughout the year. On the lake, it is very comfortable and beautiful. The city wall is seen opposite, the tropical botanical garden and the cactus are spectacular! Convenient transportation, Metro Line 2 Exit 2 of Liyuan Street, is the bus station of No. 20 and No. 315, take two stops and go directly to the entrance of the Botanical Garden! The subway station does not take the car, about 2.8 kilometers walk! Overall still quite satisfactory!
The time to come is not right now is May 26, only hydrangea is blooming, not yet in full bloom. Traffic jam on the way. It is suitable to be a foreign tourist to have free time. There is also that the 70-year-old person does not show a free ticket discount on Trip.com, which caused me to buy a ticket. In fact, to the botanical garden gate, another applet can be free.
Going to the North Garden, 15 yuan tickets, the price is not bad, now the season is when the big hydrangea blossoms, the pieces are very beautiful, the rose flowers are a lot of withered, there is no place to eat in the garden, only selling biscuits and instant noodles, bring some food to relax for half a day.
Shuxiang Hotel, Ctrip will see it as soon as it opens. The location is excellent, close to the subway entrance, basically Nanjing's attractions can take the 1.2 line. The room is 30 square meters, the old hotel, clean! excellent service! The butler also introduced Deji's food and net red punching points. In the evening, the front desk also provides braised eggs and white fungus! It tastes great!
North Garden people are very rarely very comfortable, you can slowly stroll around, take pictures are also very good, not worse than South Park. The big lawn and trees are very comfortable and relaxing. It is one of my favorite places in Nanjing. In summer, there will be hydrangea bushes. It is a place I can't cut in Nanjing. Every time I go to Nanjing, I will go.
