Zixia Lake Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located to the northeast of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Zixia Lake is a reservoir built in the 1930s. The lake water is crystal clear with green hills, and trees reflecting in the water, just like a fairytale land seated in Nanjing. There are two scenic spots on the south side of Zixia Lake which can be appreciated on the way from Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. One is Dinglin Mountain Villa. Built on the site of the original Dinglin Temple, it is a garden-style building where Wang Anshi studied after being dismissed from office. The other is Yan Zhenqing Stele Forest, also known as The Clan Hall of Three Denominations (Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism), which displays the calligraphy and stone carvings of Yan Zhenqing and other famous calligraphers.

Zixia Lake in Autumn ColoursZixia Lake is one of my favorites in Nanjing. The lake is inside the Purple Mountain scenic area and a small paradise inside the big city. 🚶You can hike there, swim, have a picnic or just enjoy the nature. During the whole year, some locals are swimming there. From Zixia Lake you can also reach the top of purple mountain and the scenic area of the Ming mausoleum and the Linggu Temple. 📍 Chinese name for navigation: 紫霞湖 🎟️ You need the ticket of Zhongshanling scenic area, otherwise you're not able to reach the lake. It's 80RMB per visit, so Nanjingers can buy the year card, it's worth it. #fallingforfall #nanjing #jiangsu #lake #autumnleavesA_Wanderer15

Autumn at Zixia Lake in NanjingAutumn is the most beautiful season to visit Zixia Lake in Nanjing. The leaves are turning yellow, brown and red and the sky is so blue on sunny days. 📍 How to get to Zixia Lake? The easiest way is to hike there from Muxuyuan Subway station (Line 2). For the first kilometers, you can take a tourist electric bus. 🧭 Chinese name for navigation: 紫霞湖 🎟️ Zixia Lake is inside the Purple mountain Zhongshanlin scenic area. Therefore you need the ticket, which is 80 RMB for a day or about 250 RMB for a year card including other attractions in Nanjing. #fallingforfall #zixia #lake #nanjing #jiangsu #chinatravel #naturewondersA_Wanderer16

Beautiful Zixia LakeSwimming in the nature but don't wanna go far away? Zixia Lake is in the middle of the city and it still seems like far away nature. It's really a small paradise. Not too many people, clean water and a green surrounding. It's in the middle of Zhongshan mountain, a km above the Ming tombs. It's kind of half way to the mountain top. 🏊🌳🌄 You need to pay the Ming tomb park entrance ticket (80元), so if you wanna swim/hike frequently, better buy the year card. Enjoy the nature, enjoy the lake! #createwithtrip #naturalwonders #nanjing #lakeA_Wanderer19

Purple-glow lake. This lake 🏞 little far from the entrance but the highlight is the way to the lake.There are lot of places to relax and the way is beautiful with greenery. The water is very clear and pollution free ✅. Since its inside the Ming mausoleum it needs ticket to enter. After the whole walk in the Ming mausoleum it's a great place to get refresh. 🏊🏻🚣🏻 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urban explorersFarz12
