If you can only stay for one day, where is the most worthwhile place to visit in Nanjing to enjoy autumn?

If I could only stay for one day, I would like to go to Qixia Mountain in Nanjing to see the autumn scenery and appreciate the maple leaves.

Qixia Mountain in Nanjing can be said to be one of the most beautiful places with autumn scenery in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and it is also the best place to take autumn scenery photos.

1. The beauty of Qixia Mountain

Qixia Mountain is located in Qixia District, Nanjing. It was called Sheshan in ancient times. Later, it was named Qixia Mountain because of the "Qixia Temple" built in the mountain, and it was named "Jinling". With the reputation of "Mingxiu Mountain", Qixia Mountain is a national AAAA tourist attraction, a national forest park, a global tourism brand tourist destination, and "Qixia Danfeng" ranks among the four major maple viewing spots in China.

Qixia Mountain itself has beautiful natural scenery. Every autumn, the maple leaves all over Qixia Mountain gradually turn from green to red, attracting many tourists. Thousands of photography enthusiasts travel thousands of miles. I went to Qixia Mountain just to take a picture of the most beautiful maple leaves. Even I, who am good at taking photos, also went to Qixia Mountain to take pictures of maple leaves. ?

2. The time when autumn leaves turn red

The red maple leaves period lasts for about a month. Qixia Mountain holds the Red Maple Art Festival every year, usually starting in mid-October. , in the next month, the maple leaves in Qixia Mountain, Nanjing will enter the best viewing period.

Qixia Mountain in this season is very suitable for girls to take pictures in ancient costumes, pick up a maple leaf, put it in the heart, and feel the most beautiful atmosphere of autumn.

In fact, the maple leaves are also very quiet and beautiful when they fall. Stepping on the fallen leaves and watching the autumn colors all over the mountains and fields, with all the layers of forest dyed, is equally beautiful.

3. The best place to appreciate maple leaves

1. The original "Shuanghongyuan" near the entrance of Qixia Mountain Scenic Area is the first red leaf viewing area that tourists must pass. It is a boutique garden of red leaves in Qixia Mountain and one of the most unique red leaf viewing areas in Qixia Mountain.

2. Peach Blossom Fan Pavilion. There is a large forest of the oldest and largest maple trees here, which was cultivated 30 years ago. Since there are no other tree species in this area, it feels like Very pure red.

3. Taohua Lake Scenic Area, where you can mainly see liquidambar, maple and beech trees. The trees and shrubs are scattered in height, and with the lake as a backdrop, you can feel like a landscape and jungle.

4. Tiankaiyan Scenic Area, this is the area with the largest scale of chicken claw maples in the entire Qixia Mountains. The chicken claw maple forests on both sides of the hillside are continuous. As the mountains wind and rise, Like a beating fire dragon.

5. Huashanting Scenic Area, there are many tall liquidambars here. If you want to experience the shocking beauty of the forest dyeing, this should be the most ideal choice.

6. Taixu Pavilion area, this is a mixed area of ??chicken claw maple and ginkgo forest created by the scenic spot. The mutual conversion and integration of red and yellow colors make this the place with the strongest autumn artistic conception in Qixia Mountain.

7. Fenglin Lake Scenic Area, here is a pure liquidambar forest. A gust of wind blows, and the lake under the forest is full of water, allowing you to feel the desolation of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

In addition, Red Leaf Valley, Luyu Tea House, Xiaoyingpan and other scenic spots are also good locations for viewing maples.
