October in Dresden is an autumn poem written on a carpet of yellow leaves

Built in the early 18th century during the era of Augustus the Strong, it was originally a venue for celebrations and games held by the Saxon princes and nobility. Later, it became a treasure combining sculptural art and architectural aesthetics. The palace is famous for its magnificent curved decorations, exquisite stone carvings (such as the bathing nymph statue by the courtyard fountain), and the iconic “Crown Gate.” Today, it houses museums including the Old Masters Picture Gallery and the Porcelain Collection, featuring art treasures like Raphael’s "Sistine Madonna." It is one of Dresden’s most representative historical landmarks. The palace’s radial landscape design exudes the grandeur of a royal garden👑 The autumn scenery is even more breathtaking: The Elbe River flows quietly in the distance🌊 The garden paths, adorned in golden hues, wind forward Under the cool-toned clouds, the ancient buildings appear even more mysterious~ 💡Travel Tips: - Rainy days add more atmosphere! Bring a transparent umbrella☔ - Wear light or earth-tone clothing for better photos - Perfect for a slow walk to soak in the autumn vibe
