The autumn in Nanjing through your lens is still missing these places

【Qixia Mountain】 The intertwining of ginkgo and maple leaves p2-3 From late November to early December, Qixia Mountain, one of China's four major maple viewing spots, is covered in red as far as the eye can see, dazzling like clouds of colorful mist in autumn. 【Laomendong】 Autumn ink painting p4-5 In mid-November, the blue tiles and white walls resemble a canvas, while the Chinese tallow trees act as colorful brushes, painting the most Jiangnan-style ink painting. 【Chaotian Palace】 Red walls and ginkgo p6-8 In early December, as the weather turns colder, the ginkgo trees at Chaotian Palace don their most beautiful colors, complementing the more than 600-year-old red walls. 【Qianhu】 Colorful oil painting p9-10 In early November, the Chinese tallow trees by the lake begin to show their colors. In the morning mist, red, yellow, and green intertwine, and the lake’s reflection is as beautiful as an oil painting.
