Jiulihe

Stroll along the Jiuli River, Nanjing's most poetic waterfront! Nine miles of willow-lined banks transform with the seasons—cherry blossoms flutter like snow in spring, while autumn paints the water crimson. Join locals jogging at dawn or fishing at dusk, then hop on a traditional painted boat to hear gondoliers sing Jiangnan folk songs. Don't miss the riverside teahouses; pairing Rain Flower tea with flaky sesame cakes is the ultimate Nanjing experience!
