Nanjing: New Arc Brunch & BistroNew Arc Brunch & Bistro, just a short stroll from Xuanwu Lake, left a lasting impression on my family and I. The staff's friendliness and accommodation made our visit special, and the swift arrival of our delicious food only added to the experience. Among the standout dishes, the steamed fish was a definite highlight—so good that we forgot to capture it in a photo. It's a must-try when you visit. The restaurant's location is a major plus, with a nearby metro station and various transport options, making it easily accessible. After savoring a delightful brunch, we took a leisurely walk around Xuanwu Lake, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. A perfect combination of great food and a beautiful setting. #nanjing #NewArcBrunch #Xuanwu Lake #restaurant #food #chinaMurray Family21

Hula Shave Ice: Xuanwu LakeWent to Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing with my family and stumbled upon Hula Shave Ice. The lady who helped us was really nice, and the service was excellent. We decided to try a few things, and out of everything, I absolutely loved the rainbow shave ice – it's a flavor explosion! Definitely recommend trying it if you're in the area. Besides the delicious shave ice, there are also lots of shops around, and the lake itself is beautiful to explore. It's a perfect place to spend a relaxing day, enjoying tasty treats and the lovely surroundings. #nanjing #HulaShaveIce #Xuanwu LakeMurray Family17

The View from Nanjing Wall#tripblazers #couplestrip #nanjing There are lots of things to in the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area. Whilst this place is usually a quiet place for a walk and contemplation, during March, or Sakura season, it is bustling with activity as people come from all over the country to view they beautiful blossoms. I really enjoyed taking a stroll on the old Nanjing wall within the scenic area. There we could see a view over the whole lake, as well as nearby Jiming temple. A really great family activity on a warm afternoon.HereComesTheSun40

City Center Lake!Location: Xuan Wu Hu (Xuan Wu Lake) in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. Getting there: Take the metro or get a didi. It's in the center of the city. The lake is huge and part of the city wall of Nanjing surrounds it. A super place for an afternoon picnic. You can also sail a boat in the lake and enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed walking around it at sunset time to take wonderful photos of the classic Nanjing skyline. #nanjing #jiangsu #xuanwulakeGraeme (高天乐Photographer)8

Xuanwu Lake @ NightNo matter which time you visit the lake, it's always magnifecent. The lake is spacious enough, a lot of people are jogging mostly in late afternoon till evening. Views are nice with lots of tress and different flowers. You can even hear the birds chirping. It's a peaceful place good to calm your mind. Picnic is recommended too, I even see people singing , bringing their own Karaoke. Definitely one of the nice places you should visit in Nanjing. The place is free of charge. A whole day stay with friends and family is worthwhile. 📍Location : No. 1 Xuanwu Lane, Xuanwu District, Nanjing #awesomepic #naturalwonders #themepark #lakesSweetPsycho41
Xuanwu Lake In Spring TimeWeather's just perfect today, I went to the lake and spent the whole day there. Though a lot of peole but the lake is spacious for the crowd. The beauty of this lake is timeless. Every season has something to be proud of. Now's spring time, different flowers are all over the lake. You'd expect to see cherry blossoms, tulips, roses, and many more. There are small motor powered boats that you can rent 140rmb/hour + 500 deposit, can accommodate 6 people. The are a lot of shops too where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. KFC/McDonalds and other snack bars are present. And the place is free of charge. Good for a picnic, sightseeing, taking photos, hangout with friends and family. Definitely worth your time~SweetPsycho29

One of my favourite hang out places in Nanjing. Wonderful nature where you can be alone in peace or come with a group of friends. It is great for anyone. Especially sunset time, against the lake it is a stunning view
This playground is still very good. Next to Xuanwu Lake, there are a lot of people. If you go on weekends, you have to queue up. Well, but the things to play are still quite a bit of courage for children, but I think the price is really not cheap. Every line actually walks a little bit. It's still a bit expensive for seven or eighty yuan
Twenty years ago, junior high school graduated to Drum Tower Hospital for surgery. Dad took me. At thirty-five, I found out that it was really true. Anyway, I spent thirty yuan in a sightseeing car and turned around. If it weren't for the Jiefangmen with my daughter-in-law. I went down Xuanwumen
Xuanwu Gate is very tall and the Xuanwu Lake is crystal clear. It is a very pleasant thing to cruise on the lake. It's just that there are too many people and it takes a long time to queue up. The most interesting thing is to face Xuanwu Gate and turn left, and there is a blind date not far away. Many unmarried men and women here provide information for people to choose from.
It can be said that Jinling business card, emperor Jiayuan, scenery four seasons, flowers, birds, insects and fish 🐟, standing on the mountain bridge looking at the clock mountain, lake and mountain; standing on the Pazhou Bridge overlooking the purple peak into the cloud, near the reflection of the bright city wall lanterns, such a scenery, intoxicating...
Xuanwu Lake is worth playing. The national 4A-level scenic spot is still free. The area is also large and the scenery is pleasant. It takes about 3 hours to walk around. It takes a quicker to take the scenic bus. Xuanwu Lake is located in the center of Nanjing. The subway and bus are very convenient.
