Meihuashan

Meihuashan is famous of its plum blossom in spring. There are various variety of plum blossoms. The scenery is spectacular, cost-effective and worth visiting. I highly recommend this place to visit in Nanjing. You can see plum blossoms in middle and late February. The plum blossom mountain is the first of the four largest plum districts in China. This is located on the south face of purple mountain. I'm sure you'd love it here! 🌸Subway : Line 2 Muxuyuan station, Exit 1/2, 5 minute walk and you're there. 🌸Fee : 60rmb. #naturalwonders #nationalpark #awesomepic #flowers #springblossoms #springtime

We must cherish the good weather on the weekends and go to Plum Blossom Hill again to see the surging crowd and the sea of flowers on the hills. Following the main path of Plum Blossom Hill to admire the plum blossoms, we head straight to the summit of Bo'ai Pavilion, where the plum branches on both sides are charming and enticing. The king of plum blossoms is also in full bloom, and some of the early spring plums have begun to wither. Basking in the spring light amidst the sea of flowers, I just want to indulge in this feeling over and over again.

Early in the morning, I headed to Plum Blossom Hill from Gate 3 of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, as the weather forecast predicted snow, there weren't many tourists in the scenic area. It was only when I got to the Plum Blossom Hill next to the Stone Statue Road that I realized most of the plum blossoms were already in bloom. The locals were mainly taking photos and checking in, while many tourists from other places were setting up their cameras to capture the scene. It wasn't until I walked up the hill that I found the buds were all frozen. Could it have been freezing rain? It was indeed a beautiful but freezing sight! After descending the hill, I went to the 'Heavenly Pool' Zixia Lake, which is at a higher altitude within the scenic area. It was a scene straight out of the north, with the distant Purple Mountain covered in a vast expanse of white, and the mountaintop shrouded in mist, giving off a fairy-like charm. Different weather, different beautiful views!

📣 During the Plum Blossom Festival, tickets are 60 yuan per person (February 19 to March 15). ✔️ Photos taken on 2024.3.2 from 14:30 to 16:30, live on-site Nanjing warmed up during the Spring Festival, causing nearly half of the blossoms on Plum Blossom Hill to bloom. Subsequent rain and snow let the plum blossoms experience the freezing cold before finally welcoming a sunny day today ☀️. Spring has an appointment, and the flowers do not miss it – the most beautiful encounter is probably: I just happened to pass by, and you happened to be in full bloom – the beauty should not be wasted, you must come and experience the joy of the Plum Blossom Festival!! Beautiful weather comes with a beautiful mood. The current grandeur of the entire Plum Blossom Hill is indeed not as splendid as last year due to the rain and snow, but the mood to greet spring is passionately surging. Walking under each plum tree, you can smell the fragrance of the flowers – believe that spring will bring many romances 💕 Plum Blossom Hill Flower Viewing Guide ✔️ 🍀 Plum Blossom Hill is located within the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum scenic area, with 8 gates for entry.
