Nanjing hotel selfie

In Nanjing in June, oleander is in full bloom and flourishing, and the faint fragrance permeates the whole city.

? On June 5th at 438+05, the author came to Muyan Riverside Landscape Belt and was amazed by the oleander here. This oleander flower belt blooms along the long Yongji Avenue, with pink in white, which is very spectacular and has a faint fragrance. The oleander here is about 2 meters high, mainly white, occasionally mixed with red. The white one is single, the red one is double, and the leaves are like willows. From a distance, it looks like a winding white flower belt, which looks very romantic.

The river breeze is slow, wrapped in the breath of early summer, and the ferry shuttles across the river, echoing the flower wall in front of it. Passing citizens rolled down their windows, and someone stopped to take a selfie with the flower wall as the background. Others walk under the flowers and feel the fragrance all the way.

? Starting from Wumadu Square, it passes through the ancient cave scenic spot in the desert and extends to the Guanyin scenic spot in the Yangtze River, with a total length of more than three kilometers. Photographer Xu said: "The oleander flower belt here is the most spectacular and longest' oleander flower belt' I have photographed so far."
