The winter is gradually getting stronger in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum

🌟Highlights: 🌟Highlights: Just into December, a cold wave suddenly blew into Nanjing, and the temperature dropped by seven or eight degrees. Thinking that there should not be many people traveling in such cold weather, I invited a few good friends to drive directly into the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum scenic area to see the golden ginkgo and appreciate the red maple leaves. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car entered the scenic area, I saw a constant stream of tourists coming and going. Under the ginkgo tree and in the maple forest, long guns and short cannons and mobile phone poles were incompatible with each other, competing for superiority. The red maple and ginkgo reflected each other, casting mottled soft light in the warm sun of winter. ❤Recommended reason: Coming to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum scenic area is not just to see the mausoleum, its natural environment is also first-class. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, it has beautiful scenery and colors that make people linger. Although the ticket price is not cheap, it still does not reduce the interest of tourists. Free for 70 years old, half price for over 60 years old, shuttle bus is not free🙅🏻‍♂️No discount

History on a Grand Scale in Nanjing

#tripblazers #couplestrip #nanjing The tomb of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be found right here in Nanjing. Zhu Yuanzhang was buried here in 1398 and in modern times, it has become a popular tourist destination. The highlight for me were the intricately carved, 600 year old steps, that boasts dragon heads on each corner. There are many more building to explore inside, leading up to the incredible treasure mound in the mountain side.

Ming Mausoleum: perfect rainy day outing

You can buy a combined ticket, valid for two days, to see most of the historical attractions in the area. You need to buy it through a mini-app and it only costs ¥100. We went to Zixia lake and and the mausoleum and could have easily stayed a few more hours exploring the paths through the forest. It rained intermittently but was still an amazing experience. My suggestion is to bring your own tea/coffee and snacks. We ended up staying past 7pm and had to ask for help leaving the area as the gates were closed. 🤭 there weren’t many people around that day, but I feel like the place is so big that even if the weather had been more clement it would not have too crowded. 10/10 would go again. #nanjing #rainyday #travellingwithkids #2023 #nature #Chinanature

Historical site.✨ This is the mausoleum of Hongwu Emperor, the. founder of Ming dynasty. From here can see the purple mountain 🗻. The wall of the mausoleum is more than 22. 5km long. The area is so large and different attractions are on different corners. The electric vans are inside for easy transportation with tickets. 💴 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

The Sacred Way. ✨ The most famous pathway inside the Mausoleum. It believes that the pairs of stone statues standing here to guard the way to the after life 🌟. The way is around 2400m long in S shape. The way is very beautiful with greenery during summer. A must visit place for those who loves history. 🌙 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Xiaoling Mausoleum is an unmissable scenic spot in Nanjing. I recommend entering through the No. 3 gate, as you get a fantastic view of the trees, with their red, yellow, and green leaves reflected in the water. The path you'll walk is over 600 years old, and flanked on both sides by stone statues, there to guard the tomb of the Ming Emperor Taizu.

In the fall, the most beautiful part of Jinling is the Zhongshan Scenic Area. There are many tourist attractions here, such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, Linggu Temple and so on. Even a random Wutong Avenue in the mountains can be amazing in the fall. In the Wutong Avenue in the mountains, the leaves of the phoenix tree are all yellow, and when the wind blows, it falls a lot with the wind.  In the early morning, the fallen leaves had not yet been swept away and when I walked on it, it made a sound. This road is my favourite one. In the summer, the trees are shaded by the sun. It is a rare summer resort. The golden leaves in autumn are very charming. It is not as nice in the winter since there is a trace of desolateness and depression. The best place to take pictures here is the stone road in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

@ Short weekend can also experience RV life. I went to Nanjing five years ago to revisit the old place. Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of the founding emperor and queen of the Ming Dynasty. The light of the morning penetrated the yellowish leaves

Nanjing has evolved to this extent.

Nanjing | The pavilions know first, the gardens sense autumn first.

| The pavilions know first, the gardens sense autumn first. It was really hard for Nanjing to have an autumn rain, which gave me the chance to enjoy this garden alone. When I looked up, the leaves started to change color, and the Koelreuteria trees were in bloom. Honglou Yiwenyuan was unusually quiet today. I walked around Taixu Huanjing, Xiaoxiangguan, Longcuian, Dilucao Pavilion, Haitangyin Club, and Qiaoting, all of which are related to "A Dream of Red Mansions." Typical Chinese classical gardens have solid white walls and hollow windows, solid flowers and trees and hollow shadows, solid lake stones and hollow pond water. This is what makes the rhythm and ethereal beauty of this place. The rain in the garden is even more aesthetically pleasing in the oriental style. Even the names of every corner reflect the elegance of Jiangnan literati. All photos were taken on November 10, 2024. Honglou Yiwenyuan is located in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area.

🕙 Time: November 7, 2023, noon 🤳 Location: Yanquan Lake, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum 📸 Photo Tips The long shot was taken on the bridge and slope at Gate 3 of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. The close-up was taken inside the scenic area. You can take photos on the bridge without buying a ticket. But if you go inside, you can take close-ups of the bald cypress and black swans. There is no shade outside the scenic area, so it's best to take photos at 4 pm. There is shade inside the scenic area, so you don't have to worry about the light being too strong. 🧥 Outfit Tips The temperature in Nanjing will drop in the next week, so you can bring a light jacket. I recommend white, red, or this year's popular Millard colors. But if the weather is good, I recommend wearing a fluffy mohair sweater. The afternoon light shines through the leaves of the bald cypress trees. The texture of mohair looks great in backlit photos. Or you can wear a colorful mohair scarf like me. 📍Address: Gate 3, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum 🅿️ Parking: There is a parking lot near Gate 3.

Then, walk along the Sacred Way, which is divided into two sections. The first section is Shixiang Road, which is 615 meters long. Along the way, there are six types of stone animals: lions, xiezhi, camels, elephants, qilin, and horses, each with two pairs, totaling 12 pairs and 24 pieces. These stone animals are carved from whole boulders using round carving techniques, with smooth and rounded lines and a grand atmosphere. After walking through Shixiang Road, you will reach the Wengzhong Road Sacred Way, where there is a pair of watch pillars, two pairs of generals, and two pairs of civil officials. The civil officials and generals are solemn and dignified.
