Qixia Mountain is alone in Nanjing. It does not compete with the Confucius Temple. It does not compete with the Jiming Temple. It is quietly guarded by the Yangtze River. It is a year of autumn and autumn.
Into the Qixia scenic spot, from afar, an ancient temple is faintly in the yellow, yellow, red and non-red woods. This is the Qixia Temple in the Southern Dynasties, which has a history of 1,500 years.
Ming Shaoshao was a very culturally literate person at the time. He was originally reclusive in Lushan, Shandong Province. He used to gather lectures and then went to the mountain. The emperor had ordered him to be an official several times, and he always refused to go out.
He is willing to be indifferent, not rich and noble, can be compared with the harsh light of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so it has the reputation of "Jingjun".
Nan Qi Yongming died in the second year of Mingxi Shao, and left his last words, donated his residence in the mountain as a temple, known as "Qixia Jingshe", the predecessor of Qixia Temple. The mountain was also renamed Qixia Mountain.
Qixia Mountain is located in Qixia District of Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It is one of the most famous scenic spots in Nanjing. It is famous for its beautiful scenery of maple leaves. Especially in the late autumn season, the maple leaves are all red and transparent. It is the most beautiful scenery of Qixia Mountain every year. time.
Therefore, Qixia Mountain in Nanjing is recognized as one of the Four Great Scenic Spots in China, and the other three are Xiangshan in Beijing, Tianping Mountain in Suzhou and Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. In addition, Qixia Mountain has multiple reputations such as Jinling First Mingxiu Mountain, One Qixia Mountain, and Half Jinling History, which shows the importance of Qixia Mountain to Nanjing.
So, have you been to Nanjing for travel? When I was traveling in Nanjing, did I go to Qixia Mountain to see Maple Leaf? If you have the opportunity, do you want to take a look?
I am impressed by the most beautiful scenery in Nanjing. There are two hills, Meihua Mountain in spring and Qixia Mountain in autumn. Although it is going to Qixia Mountain to enjoy the autumn, but when the maple leaves are red, it is already in winter. The solar terms in Jiangnan are always slow, and the red leaves of Qixia Mountain are the most beautiful at the end of November and early December.
Qixia Mountain is very weighty in the minds of Nanjing people. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "Spring Niu Shou, Qiu Qixia". It seems that it is missing something to go to Qixia Mountain in the autumn. The name of Qixia Mountain comes from Qixia Temple in the foothills.
Because Qixia Mountain is a bit far from the city, there are very few tourists coming here, and Qixia Temple is also very clean, except for the autumn season. The colorful Qixia Mountain at the end of November is the most beautiful time of the year.
Qixia Temple has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was one of the four jungles of the country in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the ancestral home of Buddhism.
After the release pool, two tall ginkgo trees in front of the entrance of Qixia Temple, full of golden ginkgo leaves, falling on the ground with the wind, attracting tourists to stop.
After crossing the Qixia Temple, you can go up the mountain to enjoy the red leaves. The red leaves on the mountain are many and dense, although they are still not crowded at the weekend. If you want to save a little effort, you can also take a battery car up the mountain from the mountain, and the battery car has a site in the beautiful scenery on the mountain.

QiXia maple leaves
This time coming to QiXia Mountain is not for check-in, but for a deep tour, to fully appreciate the red leaves. At this moment, the theme song of the tragic movie 'Maple' sung by Li Shuangjiang, which I liked when I was young, rang in my ears:
Maple leaves flutter, maple branches sway,
Maple leaves don't know where to flutter,
Maple leaves flutter past the broken waist.
My beloved, how to part,
It's hard to tell each other at the ends of the world.
The original winter, the lonely journey, seems even more desolate, even colder. Like joy, like desolation, enjoy in bitterness. Because of bitterness, we need to leave. Regardless of pain, sadness, or joy, they are all illusory bubbles, what we pursue in our hearts is the eternal that does not live or die. Both bitterness and joy are our lessons in seeking liberation, whether it is the Buddha's test or the devil's test, we need to hand in a perfect answer sheet to be liberated.
Written by Ren Jun, a lay Buddhist, at the Zen Meditation Hermitage on December 14, 2023.
Visiting Qixia Mountain in winter
🌈 The people of Nanjing have always had the saying 'Spring to Niushou Mountain, Autumn to Qixia', which means going to Niushou Mountain in the southern suburbs for spring outings, and to Qixia Mountain to enjoy the red autumn leaves. Qixia Mountain, located in the northeast of Nanjing and quite far from the city, does not attract many visitors outside of the maple viewing season.
✅ In the deep autumn, Qixia Mountain is covered with red leaves and the forests are dyed in layers. Especially against the backdrop of the yellow walls and plaques of Qixia Temple, it is quaint and dazzlingly beautiful, stunning and intoxicating. It is considered the best place for viewing maple leaves in China, surpassing Beijing's Xiangshan, Suzhou's Tianping Mountain, and Changsha's Yuelu Mountain.
🌿 I used to visit Qixia Mountain every year, but the deep autumn season is particularly crowded. This time, I specifically chose to come in winter. When I arrived, it had just snowed; the lake surface was frozen, and the snow in the shaded areas had not yet melted, presenting a different Qixia Mountain.
✅ Qixia Mountain is known as the 'Historic Site of the Six Dynasties' and was listed as one of the 'Forty-eight Scenic Spots of Jinling' during the Ming Dynasty, earning the reputation 'One Qixia Mountain, half of Jinling's history'. There are more than 80 historical sites, which are a collection of religious culture, imperial culture, green culture, folk culture, geological culture, stone carving culture, and tea culture. The thousand-year-old ancient temple, the ancestral court of the 'Sanlun Sect' of Buddhism, and one of the 'Four Great Buddhist Jungles', the ancient Qixia Temple, is located on the western foothills of Qixia Mountain, with the 'Sui Pagoda, Tang Stele, and Thousand Buddha Crag' known as the three treasures.
Spring outing and hiking to appreciate the new green—A good place to climb in the suburbs of Nanjing
Look at this touch of new green, look at this full screen of lush!
The cold has faded, and the heat has not yet arrived. Walking in this green, it's like being wrapped in spring, you can breathe the spring air freely.
This is the Qixia Mountain known for its red leaves!
In autumn, the mountain is full of red leaves, which is a famous place for cherry blossom viewing, but Qixia Mountain at the turn of spring and summer is no less than autumn, full of vitality!
There is a large parking lot under Qixia Mountain. After parking, you can hike up the mountain through Qixia Temple. Admission to Qixia Temple requires a ticket, but it is currently off-season and the price is very cheap. Moreover, Qixia Temple, as an ancient temple visited six times by Emperor Qianlong during his seven trips to the south of the Yangtze River, is also simple and quiet inside, and it is beneficial to walk around and calm down.
On the mountainside, there is a tea shop with beautiful scenery. When there are few people in business, it is very comfortable to go and listen to the breeze and taste the tea.
The autumn scenery of Jinling comes from the mountain full of red maple in Qixia Mountain
Qixia Mountain is known as the most beautiful mountain in Jinling, one of the four major maple viewing spots in China, and the Qixia Ancient Temple on the mountain has a history of more than 1000 years, being one of the four famous temples in China.
The best viewing period is from the end of November to mid-December, with red maple all over the path, and the autumn scenery is pleasant. Photography enthusiasts should try to get there early, there will be fewer people, and you can capture the grand view.
In addition to maple leaves, there are some ginkgo trees, the yellow leaf period is slightly earlier than the maple leaves, the falling leaves are floating, and the beauty is overwhelming.
The synonym for Qixia Mountain should not only be red leaves
Only red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple can construct the whole autumn and winter of Qixia Mountain.
But to be honest, the 80 yuan ticket for the red maple season is a bit low in cost performance.
The most popular trend this autumn is undoubtedly the 'Melard style'
When the autumn wind blows to Nanjing, it turns into a 'Melard City'. And wait. The most popular trend this autumn is undoubtedly the 'Melard style'. When the autumn wind blows to Nanjing, it turns into a 'Melard City'.
And waiting for this autumn to walk around every corner of the world, it still leaves the most charming autumn charm in Nanjing. If autumn must go to a place, Nanjing is definitely the first choice.
In autumn in Nanjing, the red bricks and black tiles under the legacy of the Six Dynasties are dyed with colorful colors by the season, the stone elephant road of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is also decorated by autumn into the ancient Jinling city, and the bright red maple also puts on a fiery red cloud dress for Qixia Mountain;
There are also the plane trees on Yihe Road and the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in Huiji Temple, which have become the limited beauty of this season. Only in this season can you go to Nanjing to have a deeper understanding of the artistic conception of 'the land of the Six Dynasties, the most memorable is Jinling'.

The rain hitting the red leaves, the foggy shadows, it's like a fairyland on earth. In addition, the ginkgo trees in Qixia Temple are also super beautiful.
Here is a photography and travel guide, hoping to give you a little help if you plan to come to Nanjing.

Autumn Scenery of Qixia | The maple forest is not yet late
The red leaves of Qixia Mountain are known as a beautiful landscape in the golden autumn. When the deep autumn comes, the red leaves of Qixia Mountain are like a passionate flame, burning the earth and bringing endless passion and warmth to people. Walking in Qixia Mountain, the red leaves are flying, as if you are in a colorful painting, which is intoxicating.
Standing in the Red Leaf Valley, looking around, the red leaves all over the mountains are like the sunset at the end of the sky, like a spread red carpet, the forest is dyed, and the beauty is overwhelming. Here are the maple leaves as red as roses, the leaves as red as bonfires, the leaves with red in the green like the blushing faces of children, and the green leaves, who are in love with summer and unwilling to put on red skirts. These red leaves each have their own characteristics, together forming a beautiful landscape painting.
In Qixia Mountain, we can also feel the historical and cultural connotations behind the red leaves. Over the past, countless literati have fallen for it and left many touching poems.
