A tree and a wall perfectly display the ink painting of Nanjing's autumn

This morning, I went to Laomendong to meet a friend, and passed by a prominent black locust tree, its beauty is indeed astonishing. When I took this photo, it was about ten in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, but I felt that such a scene was more suitable for viewing on a rainy day. Anyway, this place can be considered one of the most authentic autumn scenes among many photos.

Free Plum Blossom Viewing at Gulin Park

A Hidden Oasis of Zen in Nanjing: Gulin Park In Nanjing, a city where historical charm intertwines with modern vibrancy, lies a hidden gem, a place resembling a paradise on earth. Quietly nestled on the north side of Qingliang Mountain in Gulou District, at 21 Huju North Road, is Gulin Park. While the city bustles with activity, Gulin Park, like a secluded hermit, watches over its approximately 400 acres, mostly lush greenery, offering a tranquil sanctuary for souls seeking respite from the hustle and bustle. Upon first hearing of Gulin Park, many might simply categorize it as just another ordinary city park. However, a closer look reveals its extraordinary nature. Built on the former site of Gulin Temple, from which it derives its name, the park's history traces back to the distant Liang Dynasty. Historical records indicate that Gulin Temple, originally known as Guanyin Nunnery, was founded by the eminent Liang Dynasty monk Baozhi. Monk Baozhi, a legendary figure in Buddhist history, profoundly influenced Buddhist thought and practice. Under his guidance, Guanyin Nunnery acquired an aura of mystique and sanctity. In that era of both turmoil and cultural flourishing, Guanyin Nunnery shone like a beacon of wisdom through the ages. Over time, it underwent several name changes, eventually settling on Gulin Temple, becoming a sacred place for Buddhist devotees and enriching the land with a profound cultural heritage. Stepping into Gulin Park is like entering a dreamlike world of green. The vast expanse of greenery is nature's most generous gift. In spring, tender green shoots emerge from the earth, interspersed with scattered wildflowers, like a carpet embroidered with blossoms. In summer, the lush foliage of the trees provides shade from the scorching sun, offering a cool retreat. Strolling along the paths, listening to the birdsong and feeling the gentle breeze, is incredibly pleasant. In autumn, maple leaves turn crimson, ginkgo leaves golden, and fallen leaves dance in the wind, adding a touch of poetic color to the park. In winter, Gulin Park, draped in silver, exudes a unique charm, its tranquil atmosphere bringing clarity to the mind. While the grand structures of Gulin Temple are no longer visible within the park, the Zen spirit cultivated over millennia has never dissipated. Every inch of land seems to whisper tales of the temple's former glory. Imagine the monks who practiced here centuries ago, amidst the morning bells and evening drums, the lingering sound of chanting—a scene of tranquility and harmony. Today, this tranquility still permeates every corner of the park, allowing visitors to find moments of peace amidst their busy lives. Gulin Park is not only a natural wonder but also a guardian of culture. Various cultural activities held here connect ancient traditions with modern life. Traditional calligraphy and painting exhibitions allow art enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty of art while enjoying the natural scenery. Folk activities promote the preservation and development of ancient folk arts, deepening people's understanding of Nanjing's traditional culture. For those living in this fast-paced era, Gulin Park serves as a sanctuary for the soul, offering a chance to slow down, appreciate the charm of traditional culture, and find inner peace. Gulin Park is more than just a recreational space; it's a living history book, a bridge connecting the past and the present. It has witnessed the rise and fall of Nanjing, carrying the memories and emotions of countless individuals. If you visit Nanjing, don't miss this hidden oasis of Zen tucked away in a corner of the city. Come here to experience the fusion of nature and culture, and find your own sense of wonder and tranquility within the flow of history.

Venturing to the human world for a splendid soiree, Nanjing's cherry blossoms offer a romantic feast

Venturing to the human world for a splendid soiree, Nanjing's cherry blossoms offer a romantic feast

Known as the premier temple of the Southern Dynasties, Jiming Temple has always been a place I yearn to visit. The first leg of Chen Er Dog's escape in the novel begins here, so my memories of Jiming Temple are mostly filled with a sentiment of meeting too late. Even without the cherry blossoms, I would still fantasize about encountering an awe-inspiring sage who would give me guidance. Seasons have their own sense of ceremony, like the cherry blossoms in March, pink as the clouds at dawn, mistily blooming, breathtaking... If one misses the prime time of early spring to enjoy the flowers, they would truly have to wait until the next year to experience it again. From Jiming Temple to Xuanwu Lake, the famous Cherry Blossom Avenue, from the faint to the vividly dazzling, it doesn't take long for the spring hues to bloom as rich as wine, intoxicating Jinling with a burst of floral fragrance. From the position of Nanjing's city walls, one can gaze at the cherry blossoms and the ancient Jiming Temple's screen wall reflecting each other's colors, resembling the demure yet shy charm of an Eastern beauty, akin to the brilliance of 'a dragon's graceful dance in harmony with heaven, a startled swan against the closing moon.' Ancient temples, city walls, and lake waters are intertwined with thousands of cherry blossoms in bloom, walking among them is like stepping through time to witness the romance of the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties' Chinese aesthetics. Amidst the dazzling colors, one lingers and forgets to return, clapping in delight, unable to stop praising this world worth celebrating. If you're tired of the crowded noontime, then don't miss the night cherry blossoms from the evening to the night watch. A professor from the School of Literature at Jiangsu University once told his students during a lecture: 'I will give you two chances to skip class, because there will definitely be something more important than attending class, like the reeds outside the building, or the evening moon...' And now, the night cherry blossoms of Nanjing city should be added to that list. Under the night sky, the winding Pearl River gently ripples, with the reflection of cherry blossoms like stars blending with the lights and water shadows on both banks, glittering and dreamlike. If there happens to be a light rain, the petals will dance in the breeze, sprinkling into the Pearl River, 'the river flows windingly around the fragrant fields, the moonlight on the forest makes it all seem like dawn,' the most romantic thing you can imagine is probably just like this... The night in Nanjing is half the romance of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, half the brilliance of modern civilization. From afar, amidst the flowers, one views the style of the Six Dynasties, and in the ten-mile Qinhuai River, one relives the old dreams of Jinling. Born free, with flowers in hand and wine in grasp, the romance is unyielding until death.
