If you don't know where to go during the holidays, I highly recommend the Garden Expo Park! ✅ Travel Tips: The whole scenic area is very large, with many attractions and activities, so it won't feel too crowded even during the May Day holiday. There are various stations set up between the attractions, and you can take a bus 🚌 to get there. — 1️⃣ Iron Flower Fireworks Performance Melt iron at temperatures above 1600 degrees into molten iron, and in an instant, the iron flowers splash around, a romantic journey through a thousand years, both beautiful and magnificent, truly worthy of being an intangible cultural heritage performance!

Please put on a pair of comfortable shoes, and let's go through this Garden Expo Park guide together before setting off! 👍Must-visit attractions: 1️⃣ Yun Chi Dream Valley: The underwater botanical garden is amazing, and it's relatively cool because of the roof. The viewing platform also offers a great view, with the beauty of mountains and plains all in sight. 2️⃣ Time Art Valley: The avant-garde bookstore is a must-visit in Nanjing. The one in the park is small but exquisite, it's just that there are too few books. 3️⃣ Floating Stone Palace: Passing through the palace, there is a long escalator that leads to the viewing platform. The Yi Chi Garden Restaurant on top is quite nice, with beautiful scenery and good taste. 4️⃣ Su Yun Hui Valley: Gathering 13 gardens of Jiangsu, every floor and pavilion is a scene! The garden pavilions under the evening sky and lights have a different charm. 5️⃣ Flame Encounter Fireworks Show: It's said to be beautiful, but we didn't see it. If anyone has experienced it, can you tell me if this 🎆 is worth watching? Transportation: 🚗 Drive to any parking lot of the Garden Expo Park 🅿️, 🚇 Take the subway line 2 to Maqun Station Exit 2, and take the Garden Expo Park shuttle bus You can buy tickets in advance or on-site 🉑️, almost no need to queue ⚠️ On weekends, because of the fireworks show, you need to buy tickets that include the fireworks show, and if you leave the park before six o'clock in the afternoon, you can get a refund for the difference at the ticket office. 🎫Ticket prices: Adult ticket: 120/person Elderly, children, students: 60/person Fireworks show: 228/person Online ticket purchases are more favorable, we only spent 90💰 on weekend tickets. ⭕️ It is still recommended to buy a transportation package inside the park, the prices are all on the picture, we bought the shuttle bus + one-way cable car + unlimited train rides, 129💰, it's quite time-saving and effort-saving to take the vehicle to each attraction when the weather is hot, and the park is too big, it's really tiring to walk. Pay attention to the shuttle bus route to avoid waiting for the bus or taking the wrong bus and wasting time. tip suggestions: For accommodation, you can choose hotels in or near the park, if possible, you can directly stay inside the park, which is more convenient for visiting, and you will have more time. There are many children's play facilities inside the park, it's less crowded and more relaxing. If you stay outside the park, you can just go early in the morning and play for one day.

When I take my child to the Garden Expo, I only go to this one place

Speaking of outdoor amusement parks in Nanjing without mechanical rides, the Garden Expo's Bao Bao Paradise must be mentioned. I bought the Jiangning Travel Pass mainly for the four visits to the Garden Expo just to take my child here, oh right, and also to catch the lantern festival once. The recent New Year lantern festival at night is quite nice, and there's also the molten iron fireworks show🔥 ✨ Bao Bao Paradise itself is free, you just need to buy a ticket for the Garden Expo🎫 ✨ The area is very large, with many attractions, and the slides are probably the longest in Nanjing ✨ There is a restaurant and a gender-neutral restroom nearby, which is very convenient👍🏻 ✨ It's recommended to bring your own sand play tools, and you can play all day long with friends 🚗 Transportation: If you're driving, definitely park at the Jinxiu Gate‼️ There is a large free parking area, turn right after entering the gate and go uphill, and you'll arrive in a few minutes by foot~ Stick to the great outdoors every week, eat well, sleep well, and take advantage of the good weather to bring your child here

Nanjing Garden Expo Park

A one-day tour guide to Nanjing Garden Expo Park is available for your reference 🌺Before you go: The Garden Expo Park is huge❗️It's practically impossible to walk through it all~ The weather is getting hotter and hotter🥵If you're planning to visit, be sure to bring a sun umbrella, apply sunscreen, or else you'll get a lot darker when you get home. The main attractions in the Garden Expo Park are the gardens❗️It includes 13 city exhibition gardens such as Nanjing Garden, Wuxi Garden, Suzhou Garden, Yangzhou Garden, Xuzhou Garden, Changzhou Garden, Nantong Garden, Huaian Garden, Yancheng Garden, Taizhou Garden, Zhenjiang Garden, Suqian Garden, and Lianyungang Garden👏🏻With different pavilions and buildings, you can appreciate the beautiful Jiangsu. 🌿Jiangsu Garden Expo Park 💰Ticket: 50 yuan 🅿️Parking: Free (There are many parking lots, but they are a bit far from the entrance, so there's a bit of walking. It's recommended to park in the No.1 parking lot which is closer to the entrance). 🚌It is suggested to take the shuttle bus inside the park, which is now at a ⭕half price✌🏻️✌🏻️ Shuttle sightseeing bus: 15 yuan/person (The shuttle bus will take you to various sightseeing spots, there are both buses and double-decker sightseeing buses available, and you can ride them multiple times without limit) Train ticket: 30 yuan/person (Unfortunately, the train was under maintenance when we went there, but Xiuxiu and her grandparents took it a few days ago and had a great time, it's suitable for children). 💚Attractions worth visiting Not all areas of the park are open now, so the prices are also half off, just visit the ones that are open 【Thirteen Gardens including Nanjing Garden, Suzhou Garden】 ✔️Nanjing Garden has restored Nanjing's Jinyang Tower, which is very impressive. Compared to other gardens, Nanjing Garden is quite large and the architecture is more distinctive, a must-visit for people from Nanjing ✔️Suzhou Garden is also highly recommended. As a Suzhou native, I'm very familiar with gardens, and I must say the reproduction is very successful. Suzhou Garden obviously has more garden characteristics and charm than the other gardens. I also visited Wuxi Garden, Zhenjiang Garden, and Yangzhou Garden. It would be quite exhausting to visit all thirteen! I decisively gave up~ I also suggest that you choose a few gardens that interest you to visit and then take your time to enjoy them🤔 In addition, there are 【Pioneer Bookstore】【Black Horse World Comic Museum】【Coca-Cola Brand Pavilion】worth checking out. 💚Food There are not many food options in the park, only KFC, coco, and Seven Sweet, which is quite inconvenient, so it's recommended to bring your own food into the park, otherwise it's not convenient to buy food.

#cherryblossom2024 very pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem in Nanjing. Underground garden and all the beautiful architects are must see. Highly recommend to anyone who are traveling nanjing/ Jiangsu, China.N

Listen to the advice! Nanjing departure, Tangshan Hot Spring Winter Dream Self-driving Tour Guide

Planning to meet with long-lost friends, briefly escape from urban life, winter is the best season for hot springs, we agreed to start from Nanjing, start a winter dream self-driving journey! 【My Itinerary】 DAY1 Jiangsu Garden Expo Park——Tangshan Fangshan Geological Park Museum——Ape Man Cave——Tangshan Mine Park——Starry Sky Restaurant——Enjoy private soup at Tangshan Yitang Hot Spring Hotel DAY2 Jinwu Hot Spring Park——She Village——Stay in She Village DAY3 Niushou Mountain——Jinling Town 【Travel Highlights】 Tangshan Mine Park As soon as we got off the high-speed rail, we went straight to Tangshan. The Pioneer Bookstore in the Mine Park is very suitable for checking in, and it is indeed the case. The park retains the original style and terrain of the mine, and the industrial style is full. This used to be a quarry, so a part of the quarry mountain body is retained, which is also suitable for the popular camping. ✨Pioneer Bookstore The bookstore here is a mine style. Its red brick exterior wall matches the cylindrical appearance and the mine theme. It is also very photogenic inside, and you can become a literary youth in minutes. The bookstore has two floors, the first floor is the book buying area and the cafe, and the second floor is the reading area, with a large staircase for taking pictures. ⭐️Tangshan Fangshan Geological Museum The first floor is the ticket office and some cultural and creative products, and there will also be some temporary exhibitions. The second floor is the formal exhibition part, the stratigraphic scriptures—Nanjing’s six hundred million years of biological evolution and the environmental changes of Nanjing Tangshan, which detailedly introduces the secrets of geological structure, and there is also a place for children to dig sand for archaeology. The third floor is the origin of Nanjing erectus, and there is also an exhibition hall about the history of Tangshan hot springs. Tracing back the evolution of life in the Nanjing area over the past 600 million years, I have always liked to check in at the museum, highly recommended. ⭐️Ape Man Cave The Ape Man Cave is very close to the Geological Museum, parking is free, and travel is super convenient. It takes a little walk from the entrance of the scenic spot to the cave. The inside is a different world. It is said that the cave is 18 degrees Celsius all year round. The interior is a strangely shaped stalactite, as if it has come to the center of the earth, and there are purple and blue light decorations, which are very atmospheric. Jinling Town Who would have thought that there is a hidden treasure antique town near Niushou Mountain, Jinling Town is very suitable for taking Hanfu photos, in fact, it is more suitable for taking night scenes here, when the lights are on, it is a romantic and elegant wonderland. Niushou Mountain I chose to offer incense between work and school, and the holy place of prayer that I have been thinking about for a long time—Nanjing Niushou Mountain, Today's wish is fulfilled! ⭐️Private soup time Tangshan is also called the hometown of hot springs. This time our highlight is soaking in the soup. We chose Yitang Hot Spring Hotel, which has both outdoor hot spring pools to see the ancient buildings of Jinwu Hot Spring Park, and courtyard private soup in the guest room. The outdoor hot spring pool can see the sunset, and there is an infinity pool outside the hot spring pool. Isn't this the ins style, put on a new swimsuit, and you can show off your figure in the bloated winter.

When I found it, there were very few people posting about it online~ However, when I got to the scene, it was more like a secret spot in the 'uninhabited area'! —— 📸Location: Nanjing Garden Expo Park Treasure Museum 🎫Ticket: None 📍Address: No. 8 Shenghu Road, Tangshan Street, Jiangning District, Nanjing ⚠No need to enter the Garden Expo Park~~ It's just outside the gate —— A masterpiece by the famous designer Zhang Lei! Diagonal cut corners, 1.5 square meters of rust-red staggered architecture, The winding folding walls are all photography spots, The changing light and shadow, the linearly arranged green plants, The open sunken courtyard, the landscape-style 'roof garden'... With the blue sky and white clouds, the photos taken will blow up in minutes~

Unfortunately my time was short and couldn’t enjoy everything at this amazing place that I would recommend everyone to explore. I’ll be back soon 😎
