🌟 This year it is advocated to stay put for the New Year, so during the Spring Festival holiday I avoided the crowded New Year visiting army, came to Jinniu Lake in Liuhe District, to find out where "Jinniu" is, will it bring me good luck in the New Year?
👉🏻 Nanjing is a place full of historical stories. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once herded cattle for his uncle when he was young. He was naughty and bold when he was a child. One day, he and other herders secretly killed one of his uncle 's cattle, then left the head of the ox on the west side of the mountain and the tail on the east side. When he got home at night, he told his uncle that one of the cattle was stuck on the mountain and could not be driven back. Uncle went to the village entrance to call the ox and heard the sound of an ox on the mountain respond. From now on, the mountain is Jinniu Mountain and the lake is Jinniu Lake.
👉🏻 The cow in the story cannot be seen, Jinniu Lake Park today is a place suitable for family walks. Not only is the lake view beautiful, but there are also many peacocks in the park. It has to be praised that their fur color is even more brilliant than that in Hongshan Zoo. Children can't move their legs when they see them and have to feed them before they are willing to leave.
☀ Previously, barbecues were allowed in the park, but recently they have been temporarily suspended due to the epidemic. There is a large lawn in the garden, which is perfect for bringing snacks and board games for a picnic. We'll wait for the weather in Nanjing to come in spring and see you by Jinniu Lake
