How to get to Zhongshan Scenic Area?

Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit Zhongshan. In spring, everything revives and a hundred flowers blossom. At this time, it is a very good choice to enjoy flowers or go hiking. The following is the recommended tour route for your reference.

Zhongshan tourism season

Let's talk about the best time to visit Zhongshan. Personally, I think it is spring and autumn. In spring, Zhongshan is full of flowers and everything is revived. In autumn, the phoenix trees in Zhongshan float yellow, especially around the tunnels of Ming Tombs and Meiling Palace, which is the most beautiful place!

Zhongshan tourism and traffic articles

(1 is the first largest flow. From Confucius Temple to Zhongshan Scenic Area, you can consider subway transfer or bus transfer to subway, as shown below.

Internal traffic strategy

Let's talk about scenic traffic. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to visit all the major scenic spots in Zhongshan as much as possible in one day, so let's take a look at the relevant situation of the tour bus first:

There are two modes of transportation:

(1 sightseeing loop: suitable for visiting all scenic spots.

Alfalfa Garden Station (originating station-Meiling Palace (ming tomb Museum Station-Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Parking Station-Republic of China Post Office (Zijinshan Huancheng Greenway Station-Nanjing Sports Institute (Forest Moore Block Station-Guling Scenic Area Station-Liuhui Xiezhan-Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum South Station-Dongjiaoguo Hotel Station-ming tomb (Zixiahu Station-Underwater World Station-Meiling Palace)).

(2) Sightseeing route: It is suitable for selectively visiting some interesting scenic spots.

If you only want to visit one or two scenic spots here, choose a one-way ticket. If you want to visit all the scenic spots as much as possible, of course, it is cost-effective to buy unlimited times.

The first trip is to play according to the route of Zhou Bianyou, and take the tour bus (or walk) all the way.

Route recommendation scheme 1: a time-saving and labor-saving route strategy

If you walk along the sightseeing ring road, it will save time and effort. The first stop is Meiling Palace, also called Meiling Palace.

"The official residence of the President of the National Government" is the place where Chiang Kai-shek and Song often stay, and there are many exquisite and unique details in architecture and environment that are worth tasting.

The second stop is the Ming Mausoleum, which is the burial tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife. As the imperial tomb, the ancient building itself has a lot to see in combination with the beautiful natural environment, which can be appreciated carefully. There are many flowers here in spring, so don't miss the tunnel under the red leaves in autumn.

What is easy to miss in the Ming Mausoleum Scenic Area is the Ming Dongling, which is the tomb of Zhu Biao, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang. Because the Ming Dongling basically only destroyed some architectural sites, few people came, but in spring, a tall apricot tree was in full bloom in front of the Prince Mausoleum. If combined with Zhu Biao's personal experience, there may be many feelings. If you are not in a hurry, you can take a walk according to the sign.

The third stop is Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which is also a scenic spot that needs physical strength. Visiting Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is usually at noon. If you don't have anything to eat, you can eat in the commercial street outside. It tastes just so-so. Then take a rest and you can climb up.

Looking at the steps at your feet and seeing this magnificent mausoleum, you will have a deeper respect for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which is a symbol of spirit.

After visiting Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, it is easy to miss a scenic spot. Many people may think that the music station is a boring attraction when they see that the tickets are not expensive, but it is actually very tasty.

The Music Station was built in the Republic of China and is a supporting project of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. The music performance and assembly speech of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the main commemorative ceremony. Its style is a combination of Chinese and western, with a broad vision, and the atmosphere and nature are integrated.

Just sit on the surrounding stools, get in close contact with pigeons and enjoy the stereo sound when they surround (it is a very pleasant thing to be a music station).

The fourth stop is the farthest Guling scenic spot in Zhongshan Mountain. The core of Guling Scenic Area is Linggu Temple, which was built in the Southern Dynasties and is one of the three major temples in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. In spring, the magnolia in the temple is very emotional, with yellow walls.

From the point of view of architectural appreciation, the most worth seeing in Guling Scenic Area is this Beadless Hall, which is one of the reasons why I have come all the way here.

It is the oldest and largest brick arch temple in China (138 1). To put it simply, it looks wonderful because of its unique arch design and ingenious distribution of load-bearing, without the common load-bearing columns in the temple.

During the Republic of China, Wuliangdian was transformed into a memorial hall for the fallen soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army, so the visit at this time has a solemn feeling, which is also one of the manifestations of Zhongshan's profound cultural heritage.

Behind Linggu Temple, there is the Guling Pagoda, where you can climb to the highest place, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky..

Option 2: A more tiring but more natural route strategy.

After talking about the normal and labor-saving way of sightseeing, let's talk about my original route of getting close to nature. First of all, it is stated that this method consumes a lot of physical strength and is not suitable for everyone, but it is suitable for cool spring.

First of all, starting from the Ming Tombs, the Ming Tombs are the most connotative scenic spots with the earliest opening time. If you want to avoid the crowds (especially on weekends), you can take the early bus at 6: 30 to the gate of Meihuagu 1 or Gate 3 of the Ming Tombs, but it takes about two kilometers to walk.

You can swipe your ID card or QR code to enter here. Especially in spring, there are many beautiful flowers in Meihua Valley. You can visit for a while and send some photos taken before.

After seeing the flowers, you can follow the road signs to the Ming Tombs.

Then I visited the Ming Tombs and went to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Music Station.

Finally I went to Linggu Temple. Walking from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to Linggu Temple is the most exhausting and the farthest part of my whole trip. But the scenery along the way is beautiful, the vegetation is lush, and there are often gurgling streams passing by the roadside, especially the section where the pavilion flows. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful and comfortable performance of Zhongshan Spring, and it certainly needs strong physical strength and comfortable weather.
