Jiming Temple at 5 AM is incredibly romantic,

And capture photos with people and Jiming Temple in one frame!!

🟡Where to stay?
For this flower-viewing trip to Nanjing🌸, I chose the LightHotel Presidential Palace Nanjing Xinjiekou, which has an excellent location with subway access right outside. Perfect for young travelers, the hotel features a modern minimalist style.
You can check in with your key card at the front desk and receive a welcome gift. The room includes a mini-fridge stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks... They pay attention to every detail - when I returned late from photography, the hotel offered late-night snacks. The self-service laundry has separate wet and dry areas, making it very convenient. Breakfast offers a wide variety, including Nanjing's signature duck blood vermicelli soup, DIY waffles, homemade yogurt, and more!! During cherry blossom season, they even offer special cherry blossom drinks🌸
