Although Laomendong is a replica building, it retains the most complete miniature of old Nanjing, and it is a place that both locals and foreign tourists love to visit.
Laomendong is located in the east of Zhonghua Gate in Qinhuai District, Nanjing. Because it is located in the east of Jubaomen (now Zhonghua Gate), it is called "Door East", opposite to Laomen West.
Laomendong has been the residence of celebrities and dignitaries since ancient times, with merchants and humanities gathering. Well-known historical figures such as Shen Wansan, a billionaire, Jiang Million, who owns 99 and a half rooms, and Fu Shanxiang, the only female champion in China, once lived here.
The spring in the old doorway is beautiful, with flowers blooming all the way, from roses, Lingxiao, wisteria to azaleas and so on. The walls of blue bricks and tiles have been baptized by years and have a heavy sense of history. Spring reveals the unique beauty of ancient rhyme in Jiangnan in a piece of red and green. Many old wizards choose to shoot there in spring, leaving the most beautiful appearance of the old doorway. If you are in Nanjing in spring, you can also go for a walk here.
2. Ancient city walls
Perhaps in every Nanjing people's heart, there is a deep wall complex. The ancient city wall, which bears the vicissitudes of history, is one of Nanjing people's favorite places to go every spring.
Climb up the city wall, look around Nanjing in the air of the city, and walk along this city wall, you will find flowers blooming inside and outside the Ming city wall, long dikes in the lake, spring breeze of willows and beautiful scenery around Xuanwu Lake perfectly displayed.
3. Taicheng study room
This is a hidden bookstore among online celebrities. It is very popular online, but it is not easy to find. Because it is hidden in the belly of the city wall.
The bookstore is at Jiefang Gate of Xuanwu Lake. Enter from the liberation gate of Taicheng, walk slowly along the wall on the right, and you will see a staircase connected to the wall after about ten minutes' walk. Above the stairs is the "Taicheng study" hidden in the belly of the city wall.
Bookstore owners like tea and can't put it down. Therefore, this bookstore is inseparable from the artistic conception of Zen and the elements of tea from the decoration to the goods it sells.
Books, tea and city walls seem to isolate the rolling world of mortals from bookstores. Standing here overlooking, one side is the powder of the ancient Jiming Temple, and the other side is the green of Xuanwu. In the distance, you can also see the Zifeng Building, a landmark building in Nanjing. The beauty of ancient and modern blending is amazing and worth punching in.
4. Yihe Road
Yihe Road, the road with the most buildings in the Republic of China, is getting darker and darker as the weather gets warmer. French phoenix trees and Pterocarya stenoptera, which have been on both sides of the road for nearly a hundred years, spit out new green respectively, and the yellow walls look very fresh under the gradually green shade.
Shuttling here is like stepping into the long river of history, away from the hustle and bustle of modern cities, and there is a kind of calmness to wash away the prosperity. If you want to find the past of the Republic of China in Nanjing, you should meet Yihe Road in spring.
5. Niushoushan
There is a saying in Nanjing that "there is a bull's head in spring and Qixia in autumn". Niushou Mountain is located not far from 13 km south of Nanjing, across Jiangning and Yuhuatai. It is named because the two peaks protruding from the top of the mountain are very similar to the horns of Niutou, and it is also called Niutou Mountain among the people. A famous Buddhist shrine at home and abroad.
As a major cultural project in Nanjing during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, Niushou Mountain is rich in landforms and diverse in vegetation. Niushou Mountain, which has a natural geographical advantage, is shrouded in mist all the year round because of rainy weather, full of green. The mountain flowers are blooming, the magpies are singing, the lake is beautiful, the spring is infinite and the scenery is unique.
It is also a great pleasure to visit Nanjing on a sunny day. When you come to Niushou Mountain, you can wander between mountains and rivers, overlooking the flowers and admiring the magnificence of the Buddha's holy land.
