The wintersweet flowers at the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing are in full bloom!

The wintersweet flowers at the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing are in full bloom! The combination of red walls and wintersweet flowers is simply stunning! From a distance, the wintersweet trees in front of the red walls look like they are covered in a layer of white snow, and the fragrance of the wintersweet flowers is refreshing and relaxing. Strolling around here, you can deeply feel the simple and tranquil beauty. Here are some great places to take photos of the red walls and wintersweet flowers: As soon as you enter the Wenwu Fangmen, the wintersweet flowers in front of the red walls on both sides (the location marked in P4) are particularly beautiful, and you can take great photos there. The flower windows and wintersweet flowers on the side of the Xiangdian (P8 location) complement each other, and the combination of the simple flower windows and the delicate wintersweet flowers creates a particularly artistic picture. When you reach the Inner Red Gate, the wintersweet flowers here (P2, P6 location) are in full bloom. It is recommended to take photos in landscape mode, which will look like a movie scene and create a great atmosphere! Here's another great tip: from December to January, you can visit the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum before 7 am without buying a ticket. If you have time on the weekend, you can invite friends or family to enjoy the wintersweet flowers and the intoxicating fragrance. Speaking of Nanjing, there are so many delicious foods to try. Salted duck is a must-try, with its white skin and tender meat, rich but not greasy, and perfectly seasoned. Duck blood vermicelli soup is also a must-try, with its smooth vermicelli, fresh duck blood, duck intestines, and other ingredients, and delicious broth that warms you from the mouth to the stomach. There is also plum blossom cake, which is shaped like a plum blossom, soft and glutinous, and topped with various nuts and small glutinous rice balls, sweet and delicious. In addition to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, there are many other fun places to visit in Nanjing. The Confucius Temple is worth a visit, with its ancient architecture, bustling streets, and various local snacks, as well as a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is also very impressive, with its grand and solemn architecture, and you can feel the great spirit of the great man as you walk through it. There are also some things to keep in mind when visiting Nanjing. When visiting the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in winter to see the wintersweet flowers, the temperature is relatively low in the morning, so dress warmly to avoid getting cold. In crowded and lively places like the Confucius Temple, be sure to keep your belongings safe and avoid losing them. If you are taking public transportation, pay attention to the train numbers and operating times to avoid delays. Also, Nanjing's food may be on the sweet side, so if you don't like sweet food, you can let the waiter know when ordering.
