Outside the presidential palace, tourists queue from the intersection of Changjiang Road and Hongwu Road to Huaqiao Road. When you visit the Jiangsu Provincial Museum, not only is the admission free, but there are also very few people. Last year, during the Van Gogh exhibition at the Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum, it suddenly became popular and attracted crowds outside the museum. However, most of the time, the museum was deserted. Remembering the National Taiwan Art Museum, where volunteers provided excellent explanations, perhaps if Nanjing, a city known for its humanities, had a similar art training mechanism, the visitors to the museum would not be so bored.
China Plum Blossom Art Center
In the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area, there is a Meihua-themed Art Exhibition Center. In 1929, after Mr. Sun Yat-sen was laid to rest in the Zhongshan Mausoleum, the Committee for the Management of the Father of the Nation's Mausoleum decided to commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen by creating a memorial botanical garden and planting plum blossoms on Sun Linggang. Before 1937, there were more than 60 varieties of plum blossoms, forming an initial scale. In 1944, it was renamed Meihua Mountain.
The Mingxiaoling Museum is a thematic exhibition hall about the Ming Dynasty's founder Zhu Yuanzhang, the world cultural heritage Mingxiaoling, and Nanjing Ming culture. Its appearance is mainly based on the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Jiangnan, using typical elements such as white walls, grey tiles, carved wooden doors, sloping roofs, horse head walls, and lattice windows. The overall architecture is coordinated with the surrounding cultural sites such as the Dajin Gate and Sifang City, as well as the natural landscape. It is mainly composed of the "Daming Xiaoling" themed exhibition hall, "Guangpu Ming-style Furniture Art Museum", "360-degree panoramic theater", "Cultural Bookstore", "Cultural Goods Supermarket", and "Daming Life Hall". It tells the legendary life of Zhu Yuanzhang in various ways, showcasing the unique cultural charm of Mingxiaoling and expounding the profound connotation of Ming culture.
Shang Biao Bie Guan
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Shangshanlou was built in the Meihua Valley. It is a "palace" style building with spacious courtyards, pine and cypress trees, and many phoenix trees. It is also known as "Tongshanlou". It has now been converted into a teahouse owned by a photographer. The teahouse is tastefully designed and decorated, and exhibits the owner's collection of photography equipment and works.
Wujiashan Cultural Tour
The most humanistic homestay, adjacent to the Plum Blossom Valley, blooming with thousands of plum blossoms in early spring, next to the Zhongshan Tea Plantation, filled with fragrant aroma. Friends visiting Nanjing can experience the feeling of living in the mountains.
Yongfeng Poetry Hut
Pioneer Bookstore is another masterpiece hidden in the Zhongshan scenic area. Most of the visitors are local or out-of-town college students, and it has its own unique features.
