Introduction

The cherry blossoms on both sides of the road in front of Jiming Temple are famous, especially during the Qingming Festival, when a sea of cherry blossoms is particularly beautiful. Established during the Western Jin Dynasty, Jiming Temple is one of the oldest and most popular Buddhist temples in Nanjing. The temple has a tranquil and fragrant environment, with a food offering platform and Maitreya Hall on the left, while the Great Buddha Hall and Guanyin Tower are located above. To the northeast of the temple is a well called Yanzi Well. According to legend, Chen Shubao, his wife Zhang Lihua, and the palace maid Kong Guipi hid in the well, and many tourists come to visit because of this story.
