Nanjing: New Arc Brunch & Bistro
New Arc Brunch & Bistro, just a short stroll from Xuanwu Lake, left a lasting impression on my family and I. The staff's friendliness and accommodation made our visit special, and the swift arrival of our delicious food only added to the experience.
Among the standout dishes, the steamed fish was a definite highlight—so good that we forgot to capture it in a photo. It's a must-try when you visit.
The restaurant's location is a major plus, with a nearby metro station and various transport options, making it easily accessible. After savoring a delightful brunch, we took a leisurely walk around Xuanwu Lake, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. A perfect combination of great food and a beautiful setting.

Hula Shave Ice: Xuanwu Lake
Went to Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing with my family and stumbled upon Hula Shave Ice.
The lady who helped us was really nice, and the service was excellent. We decided to try a few things, and out of everything, I absolutely loved the rainbow shave ice – it's a flavor explosion! Definitely recommend trying it if you're in the area.
Besides the delicious shave ice, there are also lots of shops around, and the lake itself is beautiful to explore. It's a perfect place to spend a relaxing day, enjoying tasty treats and the lovely surroundings.

The View from Nanjing Wall
#tripblazers #couplestrip #nanjing
There are lots of things to in the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area. Whilst this place is usually a quiet place for a walk and contemplation, during March, or Sakura season, it is bustling with activity as people come from all over the country to view they beautiful blossoms. I really enjoyed taking a stroll on the old Nanjing wall within the scenic area. There we could see a view over the whole lake, as well as nearby Jiming temple. A really great family activity on a warm afternoon.

Xuanwu Lake In Spring Time
Weather's just perfect today, I went to the lake and spent the whole day there. Though a lot of peole but the lake is spacious for the crowd. The beauty of this lake is timeless. Every season has something to be proud of. Now's spring time, different flowers are all over the lake. You'd expect to see cherry blossoms, tulips, roses, and many more.
There are small motor powered boats that you can rent 140rmb/hour + 500 deposit, can accommodate 6 people. The are a lot of shops too where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. KFC/McDonalds and other snack bars are present. And the place is free of charge. Good for a picnic, sightseeing, taking photos, hangout with friends and family. Definitely worth your time~
Have a great day on the lake
Xuanwu lake is located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It is near to Ji Ming Temple and Nanjing Railway station. The lake is pretty huge, the 444 hectare lake is 15 kilometers in circumference.
📍No entrance fee
📍A lot of shops where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. There is the KFC and McDonald's too.
There are many places you can rent small motor powered boats on the lake for 140 RMB an hour + 500 RMB deposit , good for 4 to 6 people. The duck and swan boats were nice because you can have 4 to 5 people seated facing each other but the bird head will block the beautiful view. At Xuanwu lake, you can spend the whole day by walking and resting for a while.

Cherry blossom by Xuanwu Lake
Visited Nanjing around the end of March, which is the best timing for cherry blossom viewing, we headed to the most famous site for such and it didn’t let us down. XuanWu Lake (玄武湖) used to be the largest royal garden lake and it’s still a very important leisure spot for people who live in the city. It’s free to walk around the lakeside and islands on the lake. Be noted that there are only a few designated entrance to the park and it can be quite a walk if you started from a wrong spot (that’s what happened to me, walked for like 30mins to find the entrance). Cherry trees were blooming all over the park, very pleasant to enjoy the color of spring.

Stunning beauty! Enjoy the azaleas on the weekend!
Among the various spring flowers,
the brilliance of azaleas stands out remarkably.
They come in a wide variety of colors with very high saturation.
Azaleas are also known as 'Rhododendron',
and are referred to as the 'Beauty of Flowers'.
They are one of China's top ten famous flowers.
In the late spring season,
the azaleas bloom like little trumpets,
forming patches of flowers from a distance,
with a colorful and very beautiful display.
The azalea blooming period is about 20 days.
Now in Nanjing, it's 'Azalea Time'.
Those who want to check in to this rich beauty, quickly note down this article.
Xuanwu Lake's floral events continue throughout the year.
In the fragrant April, the azaleas of Xuanwu Lake take the stage.
It is currently the peak blooming season for the azaleas.
You can see them blooming enthusiastically in clusters and individual blossoms,
a sight full of vitality.
Nanjing, Jiangsu | A royal garden of the Six Dynasties, now a city leisure park
❤Recommended reason:
Xuanwu Lake is large, and so is the Xuanwu Lake scenic area. Xuanwu Lake is a part of the ancient Yangtze River channel left behind. During the Six Dynasties, it was a royal garden, and now it is the largest city leisure park in Nanjing.
🌟Highlights:
Xuanwu Lake is composed of 'five continents', 'one garden', and 'one road'. Bridges and causeways connect the continents, where green trees provide shade and flowers bloom in all seasons.
Among them, Yingzhou is named for its wide planting of cherry trees and is famous for the 'Yingzhou sea of flowers'. Unfortunately, we arrived a few days late, and the cherry blossoms had already passed their peak blooming period.
