🏯 Autumn travel tips:
1️⃣ If time allows, the pink muhly grass near Youth Square, the reed clusters on Yinlong Lake Road, the front garden of Buddha Summit, and the dawn redwood forest opposite Yinlong Lake are also beautiful and worth visiting
2️⃣ It’s recommended to start from Niushou Mountain at dusk; a ten-minute taxi ride takes you into a Tang-style dream—Jinling Small Town. The autumn evening breeze wrapped in osmanthus fragrance is the perfect time to stroll through Yanjie. When the lights come on, the pavilions and towers glow brilliantly, as if the scenes from "A Dream of Splendor" come alive before your eyes. Night tours are truly the soul of Jinling Small Town.
