Nanjing Mochou Lake has already become as beautiful as an oil painting

1️⃣ In front of Shengqi Tower · Five century-old Chinese tallow trees intertwine to form a fiery dome · Red leaves scatter across the blue brick path, creating a rustling rhythm underfoot · 📸 Classic composition: shoot "changing scenes with every step" through the window frame of the tower 2️⃣ Lakeside at the Heart Pavilion · Reflections of the Chinese tallow trees dye the clear water, occasionally broken by mandarin ducks gliding through the colorful scene · At 4 PM, the slanting sun gilds the edges of the leaves · 🎨 Coloring tip: increase saturation to restore Monet’s brushstrokes 3️⃣ Huayan Hill Mirror Gate · The archway skillfully frames the red, yellow, and green gradient of the Chinese tallow trees · When morning mist lingers, it feels like passing through a Six Dynasties painting screen · 🌟 Hidden angle: squat on the stone steps and shoot upward to capture branches dancing with the flying eaves --- 🚶 Immersive walking route Metro Line 2 Mochou Lake Station Exit 1 → Enter park from North Gate → Shengqi Tower → Heart Pavilion → Huayan Hill → Waterside Pavilion → Exit from South Gate (about 2 hours total) This year, the red of the Chinese tallow trees is three times more intense than in previous years
