A 3-day Family Trip in Nanjing

Of all the cities in China, I finally chose Nanjing to spend my summer holiday with my family. The place was selected for several reasons: its richness in culture and history, the vitality of its modern life, the daintiness of all the snacks and street food, and most importantly, it's a paradise for children.

Hongshan Forest Zoo

More than 3,000 animals call this tree-blanketed hill home, including rare native species like cuddly giant pandas and ginger-furred snub-nosed monkeys.

 

Quite randomly, the sprawling zoo has a dedicated ‘Australian area’ to accommodate all animals from the land down under.

 

Smell the Scent of Flowers in Nanjing

Nanjing, with its profound history, has long been hailed as the Capital of Six Dynasties, and beyond that Nanjing is also known for its abundance of flowers blooming throughout the year. Whenever you come to Nanjing, there are always one or several kinds of flowers that could draw your attention and feast your eyes.
