No need to go all the way to Ukraine to see a love tunnel—Nanjing has one too. Located in Jiangning District, Nanjing, this several-hundred-meter stretch of railway is flanked by dense plant vines that have been worn smooth over time by passing trains, forming a naturally beautiful green tunnel. Dubbed by Chinese netizens as the most refreshing and quaint railway in Nanjing, couples holding hands walk along the tracks, emerging from the lush green surroundings—a romantic scene that attracts many couples and tourists to make a pilgrimage.

This railway line stretches approximately 40 kilometers and was originally an industrial railway for a pyrite mine, used specifically for transporting pyrite ore. It isn’t actually a tourist attraction, and still sees one or two train runs per day. However, due to the overwhelming number of visitors coming to admire the tunnel, operations transporting minerals were being disrupted. In 2014, there were reports that the mining company intended to cut down the trees on both sides, but at the time, many netizens argued that such beauty should be preserved. The company later issued a statement confirming they would not proceed with tree removal. This year, Nanjing’s Love Tunnel has re-emerged, and local authorities are urging visitors to follow the rules for their own safety.
