Extended data:

Nanjing is short in spring and autumn, long in winter and summer, with obvious temperature difference between winter and summer, and the four seasons have their own characteristics, which is suitable for tourism. Therefore, there are sayings such as "Journey to Niutou in spring", "Going to Zhongfu Qingyun in summer", "Going to Qixia in autumn" and "Going to Shicheng Jixue in winter". Due to the change of atmospheric circulation and the continuous afforestation in Nanjing, the summer heat in Nanjing is greatly reduced compared with other cities in southern China, so there is a saying that Nanjing has taken off its "stove" hat.
