Nanjing's most low-key temple, located in the city center but little known...

The maple leaves of Qixia Mountain have become popular because of the long lines of people waiting to go up the mountain. The crowds are unusually large, and it's hard to take good photos. This is the time to come to Yuhuatai. There are really few people, and on rainy days, besides me and my friends, we only saw two groups of tourists. You can take photos however you want. You don't have to worry about anyone taking your spot. Here are some places in Yuhuatai that are great for taking photos. 📷Gaozuo Temple Formerly known as Ganlu Temple, it is not the same temple as the one where Huanhuan practiced. There are many ginkgo trees, and although 70% of the leaves have fallen, the good news is that 70% of the ginkgo leaves are on the ground, forming a thick and beautiful layer. Moreover, Gaozuo Temple itself is also very beautiful, with yellow walls and carved beams and painted rafters, and it is very popular. 📷Ganlu Pavilion Named after Ganlu Well, the large lawn is covered with yellow ginkgo leaves, making it a perfect spot for photos. 📷Yuhua Pavilion In winter, it is complemented by plum blossoms, and in autumn, it looks even better with ginkgo trees. 📷Jiangnan Second Spring There are two maple trees in front of the spring, one red and one yellow, and taking photos under the trees is beautiful. As you climb up the steps, there is another red maple tree that is even more beautiful. 📷Xiyuan Located directly opposite Gaozuo Temple, it was originally part of Gaozuo Temple. The four-petal plum blossom-shaped gate looks beautiful whether you take photos from inside or outside. 📷North Gate The north gate of Yuhuatai, with very red maple trees on both sides of the road. There are also street lamps to complement the scene. ⚠️Other tips ▪️Enter from the north gate of Yuhuatai and go up the mountain on the left. ▪️Tickets: Free ▪️North Gate Parking Lot: CNY 12 per time, with limited parking spaces, so public transportation is recommended. ▪️Public transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Zhonghuamen Station, Exit 3, and walk 600 meters.
