Dongshan Camphor Garden

Step into Dongshan Camphor Garden and discover Nanjing's best-kept secret! This urban oasis boasts ancient camphor trees over 100 years old, their evergreen canopies creating a natural oxygen bar. Meandering wooden boardwalks invite you to jog or stroll beneath the dappled sunlight, where squirrels often dart across the branches. The seamless blend of classic Jiangnan garden design with wild vegetation is breathtaking—especially in autumn when golden ginkgos contrast with emerald camphor leaves. Climb to the eastern viewing platform for panoramic vistas of Purple Mountain that'll take your breath away!
