Zijin Mountain Scenic Area/Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Zhongshan Mountain National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
It's not Kyoto! It's Nanjing! The breathtakingly beautiful red maples
For the first time coming to Nanjing to appreciate autumn, I was thoroughly amazed! The autumn in Purple Mountain is truly intoxicating! Promise me! You must come to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to see the red maples 🍁, they are currently in full bloom, it's the best viewing period, don't miss it!
The sunlight is the best filter, it really looks good no matter how you take the picture! Suddenly, I understood the ancient poem 'Stop the carriage to adore the maple woods at dusk, frosty leaves redder than the flowers of February.' The Chinese aesthetic is really too extraordinary! The red maples and the ancient pavilion are a perfect match, not at all inferior to Kyoto! Nearby, there are also must-visit places like the Stone Statue Road and the Top Stream Redwood Forest!

Recommendation for a quiet and less-known spot to enjoy autumn in Nanjing
There is a building called Liu Hui Xie in the Purple Mountain of Nanjing, surrounded by water on three sides, and the pavilion is in the water, which locals call it the Water Pavilion. There are too many people on the Mausoleum Road, here you can see the autumn scenery in Nanjing that is comparable to Jiuzhaigou. If you choose to come here during the sunset on a sunny day, the calm lake is like an oil painting, and the colorful leaves are reflected in the lake, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
🚉Travel strategy: The location is near Linggu Temple, and you can walk to Liu Hui Xie in 20 minutes by navigating directly from Linggu Temple
❤Reason for recommendation: No admission fee, and it's incredibly beautiful for photography.

Peaceful retreat in Nanjing 🙏
Zhongshan Mountain Scenic Area is part of a huge nature area to the East of Nanjing City Centre. There are gardens, temples, a mausoleum etc all in the same area so plenty to do for a full day or a couple of half days.
Getting there is quick and easy on the metro or you can easily take an ebike along Nanjings beautiful cycle lanes like i did.
The area itself is very peaceful and on a sunny spring day it looks and feels amazing.

Purple Mountain or Zijin Shan is located on the eastern side of Nanjing in Jiangsu province, China. It is 448.2 m high. Its peaks are often found enveloped in purple and golden clouds at dawn and dusk, hence its name.
A great park for nature lovers and long walks.
