Zixia Lake Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located to the northeast of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Zixia Lake is a reservoir built in the 1930s. The lake water is crystal clear with green hills, and trees reflecting in the water, just like a fairytale land seated in Nanjing. There are two scenic spots on the south side of Zixia Lake which can be appreciated on the way from Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. One is Dinglin Mountain Villa. Built on the site of the original Dinglin Temple, it is a garden-style building where Wang Anshi studied after being dismissed from office. The other is Yan Zhenqing Stele Forest, also known as The Clan Hall of Three Denominations (Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism), which displays the calligraphy and stone carvings of Yan Zhenqing and other famous calligraphers.

Zixia Lake in Autumn ColoursZixia Lake is one of my favorites in Nanjing. The lake is inside the Purple Mountain scenic area and a small paradise inside the big city. 🚶You can hike there, swim, have a picnic or just enjoy the nature. During the whole year, some locals are swimming there. From Zixia Lake you can also reach the top of purple mountain and the scenic area of the Ming mausoleum and the Linggu Temple. 📍 Chinese name for navigation: 紫霞湖 🎟️ You need the ticket of Zhongshanling scenic area, otherwise you're not able to reach the lake. It's 80RMB per visit, so Nanjingers can buy the year card, it's worth it. #fallingforfall #nanjing #jiangsu #lake #autumnleavesA_Wanderer15

Beautiful Zixia LakeSwimming in the nature but don't wanna go far away? Zixia Lake is in the middle of the city and it still seems like far away nature. It's really a small paradise. Not too many people, clean water and a green surrounding. It's in the middle of Zhongshan mountain, a km above the Ming tombs. It's kind of half way to the mountain top. 🏊🌳🌄 You need to pay the Ming tomb park entrance ticket (80元), so if you wanna swim/hike frequently, better buy the year card. Enjoy the nature, enjoy the lake! #createwithtrip #naturalwonders #nanjing #lakeA_Wanderer19

Purple-glow lake. This lake 🏞 little far from the entrance but the highlight is the way to the lake.There are lot of places to relax and the way is beautiful with greenery. The water is very clear and pollution free ✅. Since its inside the Ming mausoleum it needs ticket to enter. After the whole walk in the Ming mausoleum it's a great place to get refresh. 🏊🏻🚣🏻 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urban explorersFarz12

The lake is hidden deep in the artificial lake in the mountains and sea forests. It is also known as the Pearl of the forest and the first pollution-free lake in Nanjing.

Zixia Lake is really beautiful. Zixia Lake is a sub-spot of Mingxialing Scenic Area. You can only see it when you walk to the innermost point according to the signs. The lake is quiet and beautiful, the air is very good, and the water quality is clear. There is also a winter swimming association here.
Walk along Weng Zhongshendao, pass the rest station and go forward. Don't go out but walk along the boardwalk from the left side of the door and you will see very beautiful forest trees. After a while, you will see Zixia Lake, which is beautiful and worth it. There are still people swimming in the lake in early spring. The lake is like a mirror.
Zixia Lake is located in downtown Nanjing and is a beautiful place.
The scenery here is unique, the trees are shaded, the lake is dry and clean, and the summer is cool
