For the first time coming to Nanjing to appreciate autumn, I was thoroughly amazed! The autumn in Purple Mountain is truly intoxicating! Promise me! You must come to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to see the red maples 🍁, they are currently in full bloom, it's the best viewing period, don't miss it! The sunlight is the best filter, it really looks good no matter how you take the picture! Suddenly, I understood the ancient poem 'Stop the carriage to adore the maple woods at dusk, frosty leaves redder than the flowers of February.' The Chinese aesthetic is really too extraordinary! The red maples and the ancient pavilion are a perfect match, not at all inferior to Kyoto! Nearby, there are also must-visit places like the Stone Statue Road and the Top Stream Redwood Forest!

Towering in the eastern suburb of Nanjing, Purple Mountain (Zhongshan Mountain National Park) has been known as one of the four most famous mountains in Southern China. It got its name because purple clouds can often be seen at the top of the mountain. The mountain is not only very beautiful, but also rich in historical and cultural relics. The mountain covers a total area of 31 square kilometers (12 square miles), with more than two hundred scenic spots, including fifteen key historical and cultural relics under state protection and one world cultural heritage site, the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty.

Introduction to the scenery of Zhongshan Music Stage The Zhongshan Mausoleum Music Stage, located in the Zhongshan Scenic Area of Zijin Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, is a unique attraction that combines Chinese and Western architectural styles. Here's an introduction to the main scenery of the music stage: Architectural Features: Combination of Chinese and Western Styles: The design of the music stage blends the traditional Chinese five-mountain screen style with the characteristics of ancient Greek architecture, showcasing a unique artistic style. Screen Wall and Orchestra Pit: The screen wall is faced with cement-cut imitation stone, serving as both a stage backdrop and a reflector of sound waves, enhancing the acoustic effects. The orchestra pit is designed with semi-circular seating, utilizing the natural undulations of the lawn to create a multi-layered viewing space. Environment and Ecology: Natural Environment: The music stage is located within a national forest park, surrounded by 31 square kilometers of natural forest, providing abundant negative oxygen ions and fresh air. Ecological Experience: Visitors can stroll through the natural environment surrounding the music stage, enjoying the dappled shade, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. At night, they can also admire the starry sky. Cultural Activities: Musical Performances: The music stage is not only a static architectural display but also a vibrant venue for musical performances. Regularly held events such as the "Nanjing Forest Music Festival" and the "Zhongshan Holiday Music Festival" make it a dynamic musical sanctuary. Interactive Experiences: Pigeon Interaction: There are many white doves within the music stage area. Visitors can purchase feed to interact with them, experiencing the joy of harmonious coexistence with nature. The Zhongshan Mausoleum Music Stage is not only a building with profound historical and cultural significance but also a place that integrates natural beauty and cultural arts.

Magnolia flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are about to bloom, and the flowers in major ancient temples look beautiful against the backdrop of the temples. ⛰[Attraction Guide] 📍Detailed Address: Inside Linggu Scenic Area, about 1,000 meters east of the Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, within Zhongshan Scenic Area, Xuanwu District 🚗Transportation Guide: By Bus Take Nanjing Bus No. 202 to Linggu Temple Park Station. By Subway Take Nanjing Subway Line 2 to Zhongling Street Station, transfer to Nanjing Bus No. 202 to Linggu Temple Road, or walk along Linggu Temple Road to enter the scenic area. 🕙Opening Hours: 08:00—16:00 💰Ticket Price: 35 yuan/person 🌟Highlights: 1. Under the clear blue sky, the magnolia flowers seem to bloom even more vigorously. Clusters of snow-white blossoms seem to want to whiten the sky, appearing elegant and unique. 2. The pure white magnolia flowers complement the windows, creating a special atmosphere. A branch of magnolia flowers outside the window is also in full bloom. Whether viewed from the outside or inside, the magnolia flowers and the ancient temple buildings exude a Zen-like beauty. 3. Under the blue tiles and upturned eaves, a bell sways gently in the wind. A flourishing branch of white magnolia stretches out, partly resting on the eaves and partly hanging down naturally, extending past the small bell. With the yellow wall as a backdrop, it creates a vivid and impressive natural painting.

The early morning plane tree avenue unfolds like a lush green screen. Beneath the canopy woven by the branches and leaves, the morning light filters through, scattered like gold foil. This boulevard, known as the "Emerald Necklace of Jinling," is like a thread of time, leading me to the thousand-year-old stories hidden within the depths of Purple Mountain. The blue tiles and white steps of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum are a solidified march. As I climb the 392 steps, the mountain breeze whispers of the ingenuity of the Republic of China architects—the interplay of light and shadow created by the double-eaved, hip-and-gable roof forms a wonderful contrast with Sun Yat-sen's inscription, "The world is for all." Turning to look down, the entire mausoleum resembles an inverted warning bell, silently tolling amidst the whispering pines. Along the Sacred Way of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, stone statues of civil and military officials have stood silently for six hundred years. Touching the mottled moss on the scales of a qilin, I suddenly notice a scratch mark left by a Ming Dynasty craftsman on the bluestone, a "I was here" etched across time, adding a touch of human warmth to the solemn imperial tomb. In front of Sun Quan's tomb at the foot of Meihua Mountain, the early blooming wintersweet and the red walls of the Xiaoling Mausoleum complement each other in warm and cool hues, understanding the cycle of life and decay better than the stone statues. Taking the Purple Mountain cable car, the cabins are like ink dots blooming on rice paper, appearing and disappearing among the green waves. The silver-white dome of the astronomical observatory floats among the clouds, and I imagine Zhang Yuzhe's pen tracing the trajectory of the "China Star" in his observation book. As dusk paints the Purple Peak, the rotating star chart inside the dome echoes the glazed Buddha's light from Linggu Temple below. The French-style villa of Meiling Palace hides an Eastern code. The peacock blue glazed tiles echo the Qing Dynasty-style paintings inside. The mountain view framed by the begonia window lattices was the result of Soong Mei-ling personally revising the design drafts thirty-eight times. Turning the corner of the corridor, white doves flit through the water mist of the Roman-style fountain between the curved pillars of the music stage. The beating of their wings resonates with the echoes of the dome, creating a solemnity reminiscent of sacred church music. As the setting sun paints Zhongshan Mountain amber, each falling leaf in the golden corridor of the plane tree avenue is like an unfinished poem. This emerald crown of Jinling City is a three-dimensional history book bound by heaven and earth, and everyone who visits becomes a warm footnote within it.

Surrounding the area are scenic spots such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Linggu Temple, and Meiling Palace. The disadvantage is that there are many tourists and it is crowded during the peak tourist season. At the same time, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area is very large, and it is quite difficult to visit all the surrounding attractions in one day. 2. Yuhuatai Meigang Yuhuatai Meigang is also a traditional place to appreciate plum blossoms, located in the Yuhuatai Scenic Area. It is characterized by being very quiet, secluded and elegant, suitable for quiet appreciation. No tickets are required for visiting Yuhuatai Scenic Area, and it is free to visit. The disadvantage is that it is a little far from the main urban area, and the number of plum blossoms planted in Meigang is not as many as those in Meihuashan. 3. Gulin Park Gulin Park is a relatively small park in Nanjing. It is free and does not require tickets. It is located near Nanjing Caochangmen. The plum blossoms in the park are planted along the hillside, high and low, in a staggered manner, echoing the pavilions, towers, rockery and ponds in the Jiangnan garden style. It is also a very beautiful and elegant place. There are very few tourists here, basically only Nanjing locals are here to have fun. 4. Pukou Bulao Village Bulao Village is located at the foot of Laoshan National Forest Park in Pukou District, Nanjing. It is dominated by original rural scenery and is a place for Nanjing locals to relax and have fun. The main tourist attraction is rural tourism, which includes camping, fishing, boating, mountain climbing and various parent-child activities. There are also many plum blossoms planted in Bulao Village, scattered near various scenic spots in the village, suitable for enjoying while strolling. As it is far away from the main urban area of ​​Nanjing, there are very few tourists from other places, and it is basically visited by local Nanjing people. The disadvantages are that the transportation is not very convenient and the location is relatively remote. [Cute] If you are traveling to Nanjing by car, you can go to Yuhuatai, Gulin Park, and Bulao Village to experience the leisure travel lifestyle of Nanjing locals. This way you can avoid the crowds of tourists and avoid the crowds. If you rely more on public transportation, it is recommended to go to Meihua Mountain in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area. You can take Nanjing Metro Line 2 to Xiamafang Station, and then take the scenic area transportation.

Nanjing Purple Mountain is really a great place. It has beautiful scenery all year round and you will encounter different scenery in different seasons. What is the same is that these scenery will make you happy and let you feel the charm of nature. In the spring, you can enjoy plum blossoms at Zijin Mountain, appreciate the beauty of Meihua Mountain, and see the famous plum blossom viewing spot in Jiangnan. In summer, you can go to Linggu Temple to enjoy the twinkling lights of fireflies, and in late summer, enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus. In autumn, when you go to the sacred road of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, you will see ginkgo leaves flying all over the sky, covering the sacred road into a long golden carpet. In winter, the Purple Mountain is covered with snow. The snow is not thick and will melt when the sun comes out, forming a light mist, as beautiful as a fairyland. [Cute] [Main attractions] Observatory: There are the old site of the observatory with a long history, precious astronomical instruments such as the armillary sphere, the celestial globe, the telescope, etc. The Meteorite Museum houses meteorites from the universe, which is worth seeing. Toudaoling: The highest peak of Zijin Mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Nanjing city. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum: One of the first batch of Chinese architectural heritage in the 20th century, it is an important historical site and check-in spot. Linggu Temple: A national key Buddhist temple in the Han area, with a quiet environment, suitable for a quiet visit. [TeaDrinker] The most ecological route: Starting from 380 meters northeast of the intersection of Shuixie Road and Youju Road, passing Zhongshan Academy, Yongmulu, Zhongmayao, and finally reaching the top of the mountain. This route is less crowded and has beautiful scenery. It is suitable for tourists who like natural scenery, and the scenery is better during the trip.

A place where you can stay ecplore the lush green sceneries and Purple mountain. I never wanna go back and i wanna keep exploring more everytime i go there.
