Nanjing Flower Viewing | All the vitality of the day comes from the magnolia flowers at Hanzhongmen Square!

►The magnolia trees on Hanzhongmen Square are in full bloom ▪ These magnolia trees are tall and straight, with lush canopies and dense flowers, resembling a beautiful scroll ▪ The white ones are elegant and noble, the pink ones are delicate and dripping, and the flowers of pink and white are especially moving amidst the mottled light and shadow, adding a bit of poetry and romance to the ancient Ming city wall ▪ Enjoying magnolias is not just a visual feast, but also a cultivation and nourishment of traditional culture! Magnolia is commonly known as 'spring-watching flower', with the flower language being purity, sincerity, and everlasting friendship, often used to metaphorize the nobility of character. The phrase 'In the morning drink the dew from the magnolia, and in the evening feast on the fallen petals of autumn chrysanthemums' from 'Li Sao' uses magnolia to symbolize noble sentiments ►About the Ming City Wall at Hanzhongmen ▪ The Nanjing Ming City Wall was built during the Hongwu period after Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, and it is the longest, largest, and best-preserved ancient city wall in the world. ▪ The current Hanzhongmen is not one of the original thirteen city gates of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, but one of the city gates added during the Republic of China period. This change not only altered the traffic pattern of Nanjing city but also infused new historical connotations into Hanzhongmen. ►Photography Tips ▪ To avoid strong light, it is recommended to come for flower viewing before 9 am ▪ Pink and white flowers can be photographed together ▪ Use the Ming city wall as a background, with flowers as the middle background for portrait photography, and it is recommended to wear light-colored clothing ▪ Aerial photography has a better effect ►Transportation: Get off at Hanzhongmen Station of Metro Line 2, Exit 3, and walk 50 meters
