📍 Key Highlights
1. "The Best Sightseeing Spot in Jiangbei": Pearl Spring is a rare national 4A-level spring water scenic area in Nanjing, where the spring water gushes out like strings of pearls, crystal clear to the bottom. Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang once praised it here!
2. Three Wonders of One Spring: Clap your hands by the spring and the spring eye bubbles in response; take photos on the bamboo raft at Jingshan Lake with a built-in filter effect; feed the adorable tiger cubs at the wildlife park (rare nationwide!).
3. Best Value for Money: Tickets cost 40 yuan for unlimited access to the spring area, zoo, and amusement park, beating prices of city attractions!
🔥 Must-Visit Spots
• Pearl Spring Source (must photo!): Squat on the stone steps by the spring for a side profile shot, capture dynamic shots with your hand stirring the spring water, paired with the caption "Unlock the royal happiness spring like Zhu Yuanzhang."
• Jingshan Lake Bamboo Raft: Rent a raft for 30 yuan/hour, wear Hanfu or light-colored long dresses, drone aerial shots of your back in the lake center instantly turn into a martial arts movie scene.
• Dream Roller Coaster: Wooden track built along the mountain, shoot your screaming expression from the front row, with stunning green mountains and clear water as the backdrop!
📌 Hidden Activities
✔ Brew Tea with Spring Water: The scenic area's teahouse uses Pearl Spring water to brew Yuhua tea, shoot close-ups of the tea soup with the spring eye in the frame, caption "What’s it like to soothe your throat with thousand-year-old spring water?"
✔ Explore Foshou Lake: A 15-minute walk to a lesser-known lakeshore, where the autumn dawn red cypress forest looks like a spilled palette from aerial views.
✔ Overnight at the Beehive Hotel: Surreal architecture by the spring, shoot cyberpunk-style photos after lights on, family-friendly hotel + ticket packages available.
💡 Practical Tips
• Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 to Liuzhou East Road Station, then transfer to Bus 694 direct to the site; parking fee is 10 yuan/day for self-driving.
• Best Times: The spring eye bubbles most actively from 7-9 AM; after 4 PM, the lake surface glistens with golden light.
• Avoid Pitfalls: Feeding animals in the zoo requires purchasing special feed; bringing your own food is not allowed!
🎯 Caption Inspirations
"Nanjing’s 600-year-hidden Pearl Spring, I captured it!"

"Who says Nanjing has no Jiuzhaigou? Pearl Spring says no!"
