7am | The maple leaves at Qixia Mountain in Nanjing are stunning!

| The maple leaves at Qixia Mountain in Nanjing are stunning! 🍁 Walk on the red leaves in the deep mountains and listen to the birds chirping. The maple leaves cover the ground in the early morning at Qixia Mountain, and the beauty is beyond words. I just visited Qixia Mountain, and the maple leaves are at their peak. It's a must-see! Here are 8 tips to make your leaf-viewing trip even better:

1️⃣ The maple leaves are red all over, and the scenery at the foot of the mountain is the best, while some leaves have fallen on the mountain. 🍁
2️⃣ For photography enthusiasts, it is recommended to enter from the west gate, as the best spots are nearby. 📸
3️⃣ If you just want to enjoy the maple leaves quietly, enter from the south gate to avoid the crowds. 🚶‍♂️
4️⃣ Tickets are CNY 80 per person, and admission is free before 7am. If you want to take photos of the red leaves on the ground, set off at 6:30am. 💰
5️⃣ After entering, don't linger at Mingjing Lake or Qixia Temple. Head straight to Taohua Lake and Pianyun Pavilion. Beautiful scenery awaits you along the way. 🌄
6️⃣ Recommended route: West Gate → Taohua Lake → Pianyun Pavilion → Taixu Pavilion → Shihuang Linjiang → Fenglin Lake → Hongye Valley → Taohua Lake → Qianlong Palace Ruins → Qianfo Rock → Qixia Temple → Bell Tower → Mingjing Lake → West Gate. 🚗
7️⃣ Try to avoid weekends, as there are fewer people on weekdays. 🕓
8️⃣ Transportation: It is recommended to take a taxi in the early morning. You can drive yourself on weekdays, but it is recommended to take public transportation on weekends (D21 and 206 to Qixia Mountain Scenic Area Station). 🚆

Let's go! The maple leaves at Qixia Mountain are waiting for you! 🍁🌄
