Enjoying the spring at Nanjing Zhongshan Botanical Garden

Nanjing Zhongshan Botanical Garden's comprehensive review on March 20th is as follows. Despite the weather forecast predicting rain for the weekend, which might end the blooming season early and affect everyone's photography plans, the botanical garden was bustling with visitors at noon on a weekday, specifically on Wednesday, March 20th. Due to the large number of visitors, Linggu Road was even temporarily closed for detour. I chose to take a taxi that day, but encountered a traffic police blockade on Linggu Road and had to detour to the entrance of Fugui Mountain Residential Area. Although there were about two kilometers left to my destination, the scenery along the way was so captivating that I lingered. The park inside the Fugui Mountain Residential Area was beautifully scenic, with magnolias and cherry blossoms blooming alongside the city wall, a sight too beautiful to describe. The famous Brother Lion's Head shop and the open-air market at the entrance of the residential area were full of life, making me stop to taste and admire. After passing through the Fugui Mountain Residential Area, I followed the navigation and successfully reached the botanical garden. I had planned to visit both the South and North Gardens, but due to time constraints, I only visited the South Garden. Although there were four queues for entry into the South Garden, the process was smooth, with both garden cards and QR code ticket scanning available, and the ticket checking was extremely fast, allowing me to enter within minutes. Upon entering the South Garden, a dazzling tulip garden came into view. Various varieties of tulips were blooming in competition, a breathtaking sight that attracted many visitors to stop and take photos. Lovely children were playing joyfully in the spring light, and the whole garden was filled with vitality and vigor. Additionally, I would like to specially recommend the grilled sausages from the snack bar on the right-hand side just inside the South Garden. The aromatic and delicious grilled sausages were memorable and definitely worth a try. Overall, despite the less-than-ideal weather forecast, the South Garden of Nanjing Zhongshan Botanical Garden still presented a unique charm. Both the beautiful floral scenery and the convenient services left a deep impression on me.
