    The Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area has been improving its services year by year. It's getting better and better. As a Buddhist, and considering it's a sacred site for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I still recommend visiting to pay homage if you can afford it. There are free shuttle buses from the high-speed rail station. Then, go to the visitor center to transfer to the scenic area bus. It costs 50 yuan round trip. Honestly, this is quite good. The entire scenic area has a rather strong commercial atmosphere, but it's acceptable.

    十一月的海十一月的海

    I started my ascent from Xiaoyaoxi Station before dawn. The bus ride up the mountain took about 20 minutes, and I jogged all the way to the cable car station. The Yunggu cable car route is quite steep, and the ride takes about 8 minutes. Just as I exited the station, I saw the 🌅 (a type of flower).

    Pretty well organized, and we're only a group of foreigners there, but the staff are still attentive and trying to communicate. Worth visiting if you plan to go to Nanjing and can spend 2-3 hours there.

  • Cheng Kan

    For children raised in Midwestern cities, the scenery of Chengkan Village might not be as breathtaking. The fish lanterns at night are quite attractive, with fun activities like inviting tourists to participate in holding them. Management is a bit chaotic, but still within acceptable limits. The local elderly guides in Chengkan Village are highly recommended. The elderly couple at the breakfast shop outside the North Gate will greet you with smiles and say "Enjoy your meal, take care." The kindness of strangers during your travels is a wonderful reward.

    The bald cypress trees at Gate 3 are beautiful, and the scenery is breathtaking. The stone statue path feels like stepping into a history textbook. The scenic area is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The area is very large, so plan your route according to your physical condition and proceed with caution.

    Staying next to the International Conference Center, right next to Gate 5, is very convenient. The scenic area is quite large, and walking around can be tiring, but it's definitely worth a visit in autumn. It has historical significance, beautiful scenery, and fresh air. A visit to the entire Zhongshan Scenic Area should ideally be done over two days, otherwise it can be quite tiring.

    🌿Hongcun is truly breathtaking! 🏡The winding cobblestone paths and the white walls and black tiles reflected in the clear water make it feel like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. 📸Every step is like a scene from a movie, every snapshot a masterpiece. 📷 The guesthouse owner was warm and welcoming, and the breakfast was authentic. 🍜 After a day of exploring with family, all fatigue vanished, and we just wanted to stay another night. 🌙 👏An exceptional experience, highly recommended! 👍👍

    This place is not bad. Not the usual city walk or temple visit. Can visit if you want a change of environment.

    The staff at the entrance were very welcoming. The ancient village streets were clean and tidy, with a rustic and tranquil environment. Faded couplets, colorful lanterns, and a strong sense of community filled the air. Fields were right next to the village, and elderly people were basking in the sun and chatting on stone benches. There was a huge scarecrow in the fields… It's definitely worth a visit.
