Pukou has once again amazed me; Nanjing has its own fairy tale world

I dare say 99% of people in Nanjing don’t know that Pukou has such a fairy-tale place. Colorful pillars, pink bears, large lawns—it really brings the fairy tale world to life~

The best self-driving routes for National Day
1️⃣ Foshou Lake
If you can’t go to the Inner Mongolia grasslands, come here to experience the same vibe. The large grasslands are well maintained, and running on the grass makes you feel completely free. There’s also a forest-style atmosphere on the lake’s central pier.

Cross the grassland to reach the lakeside; just standing here lifts your mood✅ There’s a café and a children’s playground, so both adults and kids can have fun. If you want some excitement, you can also visit the motor amusement park 🚙 for a thrill~

2️⃣ Daji Hot Spring Resort
Private houses with courtyards🏡 The hot spring pools overlook green trees. Built by Jiulong Lake, you can watch the sparkling waves by day and enjoy the starry sky by night—this is truly made for Nanjing’s autumn.

After soaking, be sure to spend some time on the large lawn inside; you can take dreamy photos just like those from Studio Ghibli.

3️⃣ Laoshan National Forest Park
Pukou people have their own fairy tale world!! It’s hard to understand the shock I felt without visiting these colorful pillars and the big pink bear.
When tired, you can walk to the neighboring Bulao Village to experience a little bit of Yunnan’s relaxed atmosphere; any café there feels just like being in Dali.
