Who took the photo of a lifetime in Nanjing? It was me


As autumn arrives, Niushou Mountain transforms into a fairy tale world of Jinling! 🍂
From the moment you step into the scenic area, the camera shutter never stops clicking 📸
The whole mountain is covered in colorful foliage, with buildings shining in harmony with the autumn colors.
Every corner challenges the capacity of your memory card!
(The best viewing period is from late October to late November 😉)

📸 Recommended photo spots:
1️⃣ In front of Foding Palace: Use a wide-angle lens at a low angle to capture the golden dome along with the autumn blue sky, creating a grand atmosphere.
2️⃣ Side pool of Foding Palace: Patiently wait for a windless moment to shoot the building’s reflection, capturing a perfectly symmetrical "sky mirror" masterpiece.
3️⃣ Outer corridor of Foding Palace: Capture people walking between the curved columns using a telephoto lens to compress space, producing images with strong depth and structural beauty.
4️⃣ Basement level four of the underground palace: Use a door-pushing pose to create a silhouette, with the palace’s brilliant light shining through the door crack, telling a story of a time-traveling conversation through the back view.

🍁 This autumn, quickly follow my recommended photo spots and head to Niushou Mountain in Nanjing to shoot a set of stunning photos of a lifetime!

If you have enough time, I strongly recommend heading to nearby 📍 Jinling Small Town from Niushou Mountain at dusk. The pavilions and towers here have a unique charm under the brilliant lights. Whether it’s the exquisite antique-style buildings or the romantic nighttime performances, they are excellent subjects for photography and will allow you to capture another set of photos with a completely different style.
