原小原The escalator makes the ascent painless, which is fantastic. With good weather, every photo opportunity is possible. Although it's a man-made attraction, you can clearly see where the money was spent. I really love these kinds of opulent and photogenic man-made attractions. If you have time, you can slowly hike up and see all the smaller sights.

撸铁小杨树Hongshan Zoo in late autumn is definitely worth a visit! This time, I also made sure to check out the newly opened African enclosure, which was incredibly enjoyable. Perhaps due to the chilly weather, the gorillas weren't quite used to it yet, all curled up in fluffy balls, either sunbathing on their perches or taking a nap in a corner. Their憨厚 (honest and simple) and lazy appearance was incredibly soothing to watch. Besides the African enclosure, I didn't miss the little guys I'd been longing to see. Timon's underground tunnel was a fantastic experience! Crawling through the tunnel and looking at the world through the glass, I could see them from Timon's perspective, watching their round bodies hopping and leaping across the earthen slopes in search of food—their lively antics were endlessly fascinating. The capybaras were as serene as ever, leisurely basking in the sun on the grass, radiating a peaceful and serene energy that instantly soothed all my anxieties. The monkey enclosure was even more lively! These little guys are hidden rowing pros! Several monkeys swayed gently in their small boat, while others playfully wrestled and scrambled for food on the shore, their lively antics making you smile. The park in late autumn is even more beautiful, like an oil painting. Golden leaves carpet the forest paths, and even the air smells refreshingly clean. When you get tired, find a bench to sit on, listen to the birdsong and insect chirps, and watch the animals play freely—it's so relaxing! Hongshan always brings new surprises every time I visit; I definitely want to come back again!

苏苏的旅途Zhongshan Scenic Area combines nature and culture. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is solemn and ancient, with lifelike stone statues standing silently along the Sacred Way; the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent, and climbing to the top offers panoramic views of Nanjing. The Wutong Avenue stretches with lush greenery, and Linggu Temple is serene and tranquil. The misty rain of the Six Dynasties and the turbulent history of the Republic of China intertwine here, making it a must-visit scenic and cultural landscape in Nanjing.

APPLECiciTeacher Zhang Jun, our guide at the Great Bao'en Temple, patiently and meticulously sent us the meeting point and route in advance. The tour consisted of three sessions, but due to the extensive content, it went on for an extra half hour. He didn't even have time for a sip of tea! From the art of the Jetavana sculptures to the history of the Great Bao'en Temple Pagoda, to the excavation of the Buddha's skull relic and the historical and artistic value of the artifacts, he eloquently explained everything, captivating us and leaving us wanting more. This trip to the Great Bao'en Temple was just a beginner's guide; we'll definitely meet again!

yxj003The Nanjing Museum effectively functions as the Jiangsu Provincial Museum. It is one of the earliest museums established in China, comprising a history hall, an art hall, a special exhibition hall, a digital hall, a Republican era hall, and an intangible cultural heritage hall. Admission is free and by reservation only; audio guides are available for a fee. The exhibition showcasing the Republican era is quite unique and unlike any other provincial museum I've seen.

可爱的猫ovouThis museum was truly a hidden gem, discovered by chance. While its collection may not be as extensive as the Nanjing Museum's, its exhibition layout and lighting are absolutely stunning! Plus, it was less crowded and quiet, making for a wonderful visitor experience! It's incredibly photogenic, and I'll definitely bring my kids back.

M63***86Jiming Temple, located on the eastern slope of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, is also known as Ancient Jiming Temple. Founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing, historically renowned as the "First Temple of the Southern Dynasties" and the foremost of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties," serving as a Buddhist center in China during that period. While the existing historical sites are few, the newly constructed buildings are quite impressive, with a harmonious and well-arranged layout and exquisitely carved Buddha statues.

205***81The maple leaves in the scenic area were beautiful. Since it wasn't a weekend or holiday, there weren't many people. We walked up the mountain and took the shuttle bus down. The driver was very nice and even slowed down in places with good scenery so we could take pictures. It was a great experience.
