Nanjing | I thought the cherry blossoms in Tokyo were beautiful until I came here

Nanjing's Pearl River is the most popular cherry blossom spot besides Jiming Temple. It is the birthplace of one of the 'Forty-eight Scenic Spots of Jinling', known as 'Pearl Waves Surge'. In the past, the river surface from Jiming Temple to the floating bridge had bubbling waves like surging pearls, a sight so beautiful it was named 'Pearl River'. Today, the cherry blossoms on both sides of the Pearl River are in full bloom, competing in splendor and as radiant as clouds at dawn, creating a poetic spring scroll. Visitors come in an endless stream, busy with a rendezvous with spring. Reliefs on the railings, winding paths, and the water's edge reflect each other, blending the city with nature. Standing on the bridge, the cherry blossoms on both sides of the river are pink and white like snow, with the light petals reaching towards the river surface. The clear flowing water adds a dynamic and aesthetic beauty to the cherry blossoms here, making it romantic and dreamy. Spring brings messages, flowers have their season, and one must always make a trip to Nanjing to encounter the romantic charm of this beautiful ancient capital.
