Introduction

Xuanwu Lake is one of the largest royal garden lakes in China and is renowned alongside Nanshan Lake in Jiaxing and West Lake in Hangzhou as one of the three famous lakes of Jiangnan. The park is divided into five green oases including Yingzhou, Liangzhou, and Cuizhou, and boasts numerous scenic spots and historic sites such as Tailing Flower Arch, Bonsai Garden, and Dujuan Garden Tower, serving as the largest cultural and recreational park in Nanjing. From October to November each year, the park holds a chrysanthemum exhibition which offers a stunning view of the blooming flowers. There is also a lover's park featuring tulips, peach blossoms and other plants, popular for taking wedding photos. Spring is the best time to visit Yingzhou and admire the blossoming cherry trees, and the Lotus Garden provides a great spot for taking photos and appreciating the beauty of lotus flowers.
