Autumn in Jinling in the Year of the Dragon (6) Qixia Mountain

Half of Jinling's autumn is on Qixia Mountain. Nanjing's Qixia Mountain, also known as She Mountain, is one of China's four best places to see maple leaves, along with Fragrant Hills in Beijing, Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, and Tianping Mountain in Suzhou. In late autumn, the maple trees on Qixia Mountain are ablaze with color, the mountain is covered in red, and the colorful leaves are as beautiful as a painting, making it a place you won't want to leave.
