Yanque Lake: Nanjing's Autumn Water Wonderland

By the shores of Yanque Lake, autumn is in full bloom. Hundreds of dawn redwoods quietly change their attire, with red and orange leaves intertwined against the blue lake water, creating a flowing oil painting. Strolling along the lakeside, every scene is a visual feast gifted by nature. 📅 Best viewing period: Late November to December Travel tips: It is recommended to visit early in the morning when the lake surface in the morning mist looks even more magical; you can also combine this visit with Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. This autumn, come to Yanque Lake and capture the most splendid seasonal memories of Jinling in the secret realm of dawn redwoods.
