Okay, here's a 100-word introduction to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in autumn:
The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in autumn is a magnificent dreamscape spanning six hundred years. The ginkgo and sycamore trees lining the sacred path are draped in golden crimson, creating a path known as "Nanjing's most beautiful 600 meters." Golden fallen leaves sprinkle the ancient stone carvings along the path, creating a breathtaking spectacle alongside the vermilion walls, black tiles, and eaves. The air is filled with the tranquility of history and the lingering fragrance of osmanthus. Strolling through the mausoleum, one can experience the majestic grandeur of the early Ming mausoleum while savoring the most vibrant autumn scenery in Nanjing.
The scenery is very nice, but the management of Zhongshan Scenic Area is really poor. The shuttle bus guidance is insufficient and very chaotic. The road is closed and opened from time to time, which makes the experience poor.

In short: Qixia Mountain is a must-see in Nanjing, famous for its vibrant crimson leaves. However, it offers something to see in all seasons and is well worth a visit.
Key Highlights
- 🍁 Autumn Red Foliage (late October to early December)
- This is Qixia Mountain's trump card. Trees like sweetgum, red maple, and Japanese maple paint the entire mountain a vibrant crimson, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
- Tip: The best viewing period is usually mid-to-late November, so it's recommended to check the scenic area's red foliage forecast in advance.
- 🏯 Thousand-Year-Old Temple - Qixia Temple
- One of China's Four Great Temples, it boasts a long history and a vibrant pilgrimage. The temple boasts ancient and majestic architecture, making it a great place to experience Buddhist culture and history.
- 🪨 Stone Carvings - Thousand Buddha Rocks
- Located behind Qixia Temple, this is a collection of Buddhist stone carvings from the Southern Dynasties period. Despite its age, the exquisite craftsmanship of its time is still evident, making it of great historical value.
Visit Suggestions
- Best Times: Autumn to see the crimson leaves, spring to see the peach blossoms, summer to escape the heat, and winter to enjoy the snowy scenery.
- Recommended Routes:
- Classic Route: Scenic Area Main Gate → Qixia Temple → Thousand Buddha Rock → Stupa → Climb to see the crimson leaves → Descend.
- Easy Route: For those with moderate stamina, you can just visit the Qixia Temple and Thousand Buddha Rock area at the foot of the mountain, which is equally enjoyable.
- Admission: 25 yuan in the off-season (December-February), 40 yuan in the peak season (March-November).
In short, Qixia Mountain is a wonderful destination that combines natural scenery, historical culture, and Buddhist art.
You mentioned that the crimson leaves in autumn are Qixia Mountain's trump card. Would you like me to help you plan a complete itinerary for a day trip in autumn? I can arrange transportation, the best hiking trails, photo spots, and nearby food to make your trip more worry-free.
The autumn scenery at Qixia Mountain is truly breathtaking and should not be missed! It's a pleasant walk while admiring the autumn scenery, and transportation is convenient. A taxi there is not expensive, and a taxi back is also easy to get.

This is a rare treasure trove of scenic spots with a unique view. Boats sail in the water and people walk in the painting! It is a great place to take photos. There is plenty of parking at the entrance of the scenic area, and there are many other scenic spots nearby, such as Qianduo!
Lizhong Water Forest Park, strolling in the water forest 🌳 that blocks out the sun is such a joy😎, happiness and satisfaction! Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand it. Calm down and appreciate the sunlight in early autumn☀️ The forest is dyed with colors, like a painting, a natural oxygen bar,

The thousand-year-old Tachuan is peaceful and solemn in winter. There are very few tourists. There are only two of us and another family of three. We can't appreciate "one of the four most beautiful autumn colors in China" at all. We plan to visit again in autumn when the leaves turn red.
In winter, Tachuan lacks the prosperity of autumn colors and the noise of people. In the quiet village now, you can feel your own tranquility!
It is recommended that tourists who come here to visit in autumn.

The North Garden I went to at the beginning is equivalent to a large park, with few characteristic plants and no flowers in October. The South Garden has a wide variety of plants, including tropical plants, succulent gardens, and many large plants. It feels quite magical to be indoors, just like in a fairy tale! I recommend the South Garden.
The price/performance ratio is very high, it is worth a visit. I will go again if I have the chance. The South Garden and the North Garden are both very good. They are very large, with different scenery and various plants. I saw my favorite cactus. It is suitable to go in the afternoon. The royal lily blooms at 5 pm.

Hongcun is beautiful and picturesque. Although it was a bit crowded during the National Day holiday, we stayed in a guesthouse within the scenic area, which was pleasant and convenient. The guesthouse was clean, the bedding was comfortable, and the small courtyard was charming. The owner was very friendly and even made a special trip to pick us up. When we needed to go out of the village to buy medicine, she also helped us get there. Thank you very much, and I will stay here again next time I visit. Great!
Southern Anhui is truly beautiful, with picturesque scenery and verdant mountains and clear waters. The Hui-style architecture is as charming and beautiful as an ink painting. I love it so much, and I'd like to go back in autumn to see the layers of mountains and plains.

We went there late and didn't climb the mountain. There were many activities below, especially the bonfire party at night. The host created a great atmosphere and both adults and children were very happy. The food and beverage prices inside are OK, a little more expensive than outside but cheaper than other so-called ancient towns. It is better to have a unified operation of the scenic area than to outsource it.
Paying with copper coins is particularly fun. It was a bit cold in the winter, but I booked an hourly hot spring room and soaked my feet, which was very comfortable. The food was delicious and the service was also very good! I think the experience would be even better in the spring.

Hongze Lake is less famous than Taihu Lake, but it has its own characteristics. Not to mention the cute deer, the peacocks with their tails spread, and the stunning swans on the water. Just sitting in a cruise ship through the maze-like reed marshes, or paddling a bamboo raft through the rows of Metasequoia, can make your mind feel relaxed.
The reed maze boat ride and the Metasequoia forest are very unique, and there is also a wetland museum inside. The park is very large, with a lot of things and complete facilities. It's just that the weather is not good today, otherwise I would have been very happy to ride a bicycle in it for a day.

There are still two spots left to go with the ticket. It's difficult. There are too many people and the tour bus is not enough. It's tiring to walk. There are also few signs on the tour bus. You have to ask where to go one by one. The concert is even colder. It will not open until October 3rd. It's a waste to watch the equipment maintenance.
The area inside is very large and the scenery is pretty good, but the only things you can really see are Ming Xiaoling and the Shinto Road. The rest are man-made attractions, and the ticket price is only worth forty or fifty yuan at most.

Pilu Temple is very close to the Six Dynasties Museum, about 800 meters in a straight line. You need to buy a ticket to enter the temple. You can climb the Wanfo Tower to overlook the surroundings. The Wanfo Tower is uniquely built and is worth visiting floor by floor. There is a vegetarian restaurant in the temple.
Pilu Temple, one of the three major temples in Nanjing
Located in the downtown area but quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle
You can get there by taking the subway at Xi'anmen Station on Line 2. Needless to say, the transportation is very convenient. You can get three sticks of incense when you enter the door. After burning incense in the incense burner in front of the door, you can go to the main hall to observe and worship Buddha. You can check in and take photos of the Guanyin Buddha statue in the backyard. There are many ginkgo trees in the yard, and the fallen leaves are also very beautiful.
