    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.

    快乐的宝藏男战士快乐的宝藏男战士

    I initially thought all the ancient villages in Huizhou were pretty much the same—the architecture was all in the Huizhou style, and the pace of life was very slow. But after visiting Chengkan, I found it was definitely worth it. One highlight was the ancient ancestral halls of Huizhou, and the other was the fish lantern show and fireworks at night! I was hesitant about the 100 yuan entrance fee at first, but I was so glad I went because the fish lanterns and fireworks at night were absolutely worth it!!!

    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.

    Zhongshan Scenic Area combines nature and culture. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is solemn and ancient, with lifelike stone statues standing silently along the Sacred Way; the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent, and climbing to the top offers panoramic views of Nanjing. The Wutong Avenue stretches with lush greenery, and Linggu Temple is serene and tranquil. The misty rain of the Six Dynasties and the turbulent history of the Republic of China intertwine here, making it a must-visit scenic and cultural landscape in Nanjing.

    🌿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.
