It's not Kyoto! It's Nanjing! The breathtakingly beautiful red maples

For the first time coming to Nanjing to appreciate autumn, I was thoroughly amazed! The autumn in Purple Mountain is truly intoxicating! Promise me! You must come to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to see the red maples 🍁, they are currently in full bloom, it's the best viewing period, don't miss it! The sunlight is the best filter, it really looks good no matter how you take the picture! Suddenly, I understood the ancient poem 'Stop the carriage to adore the maple woods at dusk, frosty leaves redder than the flowers of February.' The Chinese aesthetic is really too extraordinary! The red maples and the ancient pavilion are a perfect match, not at all inferior to Kyoto! Nearby, there are also must-visit places like the Stone Statue Road and the Top Stream Redwood Forest!

Recommendation for a quiet and less-known spot to enjoy autumn in Nanjing

There is a building called Liu Hui Xie in the Purple Mountain of Nanjing, surrounded by water on three sides, and the pavilion is in the water, which locals call it the Water Pavilion. There are too many people on the Mausoleum Road, here you can see the autumn scenery in Nanjing that is comparable to Jiuzhaigou. If you choose to come here during the sunset on a sunny day, the calm lake is like an oil painting, and the colorful leaves are reflected in the lake, which is breathtakingly beautiful. 🚉Travel strategy: The location is near Linggu Temple, and you can walk to Liu Hui Xie in 20 minutes by navigating directly from Linggu Temple ❤Reason for recommendation: No admission fee, and it's incredibly beautiful for photography.

Peaceful retreat in Nanjing 🙏

Zhongshan Mountain Scenic Area is part of a huge nature area to the East of Nanjing City Centre. There are gardens, temples, a mausoleum etc all in the same area so plenty to do for a full day or a couple of half days. Getting there is quick and easy on the metro or you can easily take an ebike along Nanjings beautiful cycle lanes like i did. The area itself is very peaceful and on a sunny spring day it looks and feels amazing.

Purple Mountain or Zijin Shan is located on the eastern side of Nanjing in Jiangsu province, China. It is 448.2 m high. Its peaks are often found enveloped in purple and golden clouds at dawn and dusk, hence its name. A great park for nature lovers and long walks. #purplemountain #nanjingtravel #jiangsuprovince #greatview #chinatravel #heaven #greatnature

day trip in Nanjing

Towering in the eastern suburb of Nanjing, Purple Mountain (Zhongshan Mountain National Park) has been known as one of the four most famous mountains in Southern China. It got its name because purple clouds can often be seen at the top of the mountain. The mountain is not only very beautiful, but also rich in historical and cultural relics. The mountain covers a total area of 31 square kilometers (12 square miles), with more than two hundred scenic spots, including fifteen key historical and cultural relics under state protection and one world cultural heritage site, the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty. The Purple Mountain consists of four core scenic areas, including the Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum Scenic Area on the southern slope, the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty Scenic Area to the west of the Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum and the Linggu Temple Scenic Area to the east, and the Toutuo Ridge Scenic Area on the mountain top.

Sunrise on Purple Mountain

Nanjings purple mountain or Zhongshan is in the center of Nanjing and the highest mountain in the area. During summer time, it's a popular weekend activity among young people to climb the mountain at night and enjoy the sunrise in the early morning. 🌄 Depending on the route, you should start at around 3am, because the sunrise is at around 5am in the morning. The most popular and also shortest route is the Northwest route starting at JiangWangMiao (subway line 4). Don't forget to bring a flashlight, especially if you take the "darker" routes starting in the middle of the mountain. 🔦 Enjoy the hike! 🏔️ #createwithtrip #naturewonders #nanjing #purplemountain #nature

#nanjing #zhongshanmountain This place easy to find once you are on the Zhongshan Mountain specially this mountain most of Foreign and Local Tourist are visiting during Holidays or even during weekend. On the top view of the Pagoda you will see a stunning panoramic view. Many Direction Information on the walkway.

Linggu Tower in Nanjing

Linggu Tower is inside the Linggu Temple scenic area in Nanjing. The tower is open and you can climb to the top, from where you have an excellent view on the surrounding forest. It's quite tiring but worth the view. From the main entrance of the scenic area you walk about 1,5km northwards. 🎟️ Entrance to the scenic area is 20-40元. If you reside in Nanjing, I can recommend the year card, which includes almost all scenic spots of the city. #nanjingtravel #jiangsu #linggu

Linggu Si or Linggu Tower. This tower is very tall and also located in Zhong Shan Jing Qu Ming Sheng Qu 钟山风景名胜区. It is hard to find and it needs to spend the time to find the right path leading to this tower. But when you climb up, you will be rewarded by incredible and breathtaking view on whole area around. Tower's every level has a window or balcony so pictures could be taken at the different altitude. I was so happy to find this tower.

The music stage of Zhong Shan Jing Qu Ming Sheng Qu 钟山风景名胜区. This is Nanjing city, Jiangsu province. This is very good place, perfect option to take a rest after you have roamed the park half of the day. Fountain is providing beautiful view. The music stage is made from stone and looks attractive. Yes, there are a lot of pigeons waiting you share the piece of bread with them. Very romantic place!

Shixiang Road. Nanjing city, Zhong Shan Jing Qu Ming Sheng Qu 钟山风景名胜区. Every mausoleum has a long road connecting the realm of rest with our world which should be walked in to reach the tomb. Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has a greatest one. On your way you will meet mystique animals, creatures sculptured from hard stone and the gates, of course, the way lies trough the forest with different kind of trees. No doubt, this is exciting manic journey.

Zhongshan is often surrounded by purple clouds and so it is also known as Purple Mountain. Zhongshan and Houhu are in harmony, with a foundation in Nanjing. With the trend of “Dragons”, Zhongshan stands on the bank of the Yangtze River, covered in smog, and after thousands of years, it is still covered in lush greenery.  The number of kings and heroes, pines and multiculturism were outstanding in the mountains. Amongst these are the Six dynasty culture, the Ming dynasty culture, the Republican culture, the landscape culture, the ecological leisure culture, and the Buddhist culture. It is the “first mountain of humanity in the Chinese city.”
