OutstandingMingxiaoling can be, the stone statue road ginkgo fell to the ground and was carpeted. The soft Meiling Palace really couldn't see the eucalyptus necklace, only the aerial photography was a waste of time. Linggu Temple is good to stand at the top of the tower. Unfortunately, the smog is very good.
The Ming Tomb Scenic Area Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is located in the Zhongshan Scenic Area. It is the tomb of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. The mausoleum is magnificent and represents the achievements of early Ming architecture and stone carving art. It also directly influenced the shape of the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Cemetery distribution
The overall layout of the mausoleum area is divided into two parts: one is the winding mausoleum sacred road, and the other is the main building of the mausoleum, which is the burial place of Zhu Yuanzhang. The main buildings of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum include the Wenwu Fangmen (i.e. the main gate), the Xiandian, the Fangcheng, the Minglou, and the Baoding (i.e. Chongqiu), all of which are arranged according to the traditional central axis and surrounded by walls. The mausoleum layout design of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum of "front court and back bedroom, front and back circle" and the architectural forms such as the Fangcheng Minglou, Baocheng Baoding, pioneered the construction regulations of the mausoleums of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, and is hailed as a milestone in the development history of Chinese imperial mausoleums.
Shinto
The sacred road runs from Xiamafang to the main gate of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and is 2,400 meters long. It is winding and deep, which is different from the straight pattern of the traditional sacred roads in Chinese imperial mausoleums. The sacred road is divided into two sections: Shixiang Road and Wengzhong Road. The stone sculptures on both sides are a highlight, with 12 pairs of tall stone beasts and 2 pairs of civil officials and military generals. The stone sculptures are carved from a whole piece of stone, with simple shapes, clear patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. In autumn, the ginkgo and red maple trees here are also a sight to behold, attracting a large number of tourists who love photography.
Hall of Worship
The Hall of Worship, also known as the Xiaoling Hall, was originally the place where the tablets of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were enshrined. The original hall has been destroyed, but there are still three layers of Xumi pedestals and six large stone steps with reliefs of clouds, dragons, mountains and waters. Now it is the exhibition room of Ming Xiaoling Historical Materials.
Fangcheng
Fangcheng is a huge building in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum. It is built with large stones on the outside and has a Xumi pedestal at the bottom. Minglou is located on top of Fangcheng. The original yellow-tiled roof was destroyed but was later restored. You can climb up to Minglou along the trails on the left and right sides of Fangcheng.
Baoding
To the north of Fangcheng is Baoding, also known as Baocheng, which is about 400 meters in diameter. It is the bedroom of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. Enter through the archway in the middle of Fangcheng, which leads to a round arch tunnel. Climb 54 steps to get out of the tunnel, and you will see the south wall of Baoding. On the wall, there is an inscription "This mountain is the tomb of Ming Taizu". You can't go any further. Under Baoding is the underground palace of Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, which has not been excavated.
Plum Garden and Cherry Blossom Garden
Plum Blossom Mountain is located to the south of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and is planted with plum blossoms. There is a Plum Blossom Valley at the foot of the mountain, with more than 13,000 plum trees. The Wintersweet Garden of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is distributed on both sides of the central axis from Jinshui Bridge to Ming Tower, covering an area of more than 80 mu, with more than 3,000 wintersweets planted, covering three major species groups and more than 60 varieties. The wintersweets are in their best viewing period from December every year to late February of the following year.
Sun Quan's tomb can also be seen on Meihua Mountain. There is a cherry blossom garden near the Shinto Shixiang Road, and tourists come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms in an endless stream every late March and early April. The Red Mansion Art Garden is a garden landscape that embodies the Red Mansion culture and the rich Jiangnan style. The Zixia Lake in the north is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Life advice, don't leave Nanjing until you've seen the wintersweet in these 6 placesAutumn in Nanjing has come to an end, the leaves of ginkgo and plane trees are falling, and winter is quietly approaching. In addition to looking forward to the snowflakes flying all over the sky, are you also looking forward to the heartwarming fragrance of wintersweet? The wintersweet flowering period in Nanjing is from the end of December to the beginning of February. I have already prepared the most comprehensive guide for you to enjoy wintersweet! Only after seeing the wintersweet in these 6 places can you truly experience the winter in Nanjing. Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum: Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum should be the place with the most wintersweet flowers in Nanjing city. The wintersweet is mainly concentrated inside and outside the Xiaoling Wenwu Fangmen. When the flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is intoxicating. The red palace wall and the yellow wintersweet, if you encounter a heavy snow, it's really stunning! Ticket: 70 yuan, park annual card can be used, free admission before 6:30 am and after 6:30 pm Transportation: Exit 1 of Muxuyuan Station on Subway Line 2, turn left and walk 300 meters to Gate 3 of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area Linggu Temple: Linggu Temple only has one or two wintersweet trees, which are quite large. When the flowers bloom, the tree is golden. In January of this year, I was fortunate to photograph the wintersweet in the snow here. The ancient temple and the wintersweet complement each other, very beautiful. Ticket: 35 yuan, park annual card can be used Transportation: Xiaolingwei Station on Subway Line 2, transfer to Bus 202 to Linggu Temple Station Zhan Garden: Speaking of wintersweet in Nanjing, we must mention Zhan Garden. The wintersweet here is relatively scattered, and you may see it at an unexpected corner. The wintersweet in the rain is worth seeing. When the palace lanterns light up, it's completely like a dream of a garden. Ticket: 30 yuan, park annual card can be used, closed on Mondays Transportation: Sanshanjie Station on Subway Line 1 Pilu Temple: Everyone knows that Pilu Temple has ginkgo and osmanthus, but few people know that there is also wintersweet here. The combination of the red temple building and the yellow wintersweet, compared with Linggu Temple, is another feeling. Ticket: 25 yuan, park annual card can be used Transportation: Xianmen Station on Subway Line 2 Ganxi Residence: The wintersweet of Ganxi Residence is concentrated near the main gate of the park. The Chinese-style corridor, lanterns and wintersweet are a beautiful scenery in winter. Ticket: 20 yuan, park annual card can be used, closed on Mondays Transportation: Sanshanjie Station on Subway Line 1 Zhongshan Botanical Garden: The wintersweet in Zhongshan Botanical Garden is the earliest place to bloom every year. You can smell the fragrance of wintersweet around the end of December. The specific location is in the Rose Garden in the North Garden. Ticket: 15 yuan for the North Garden, park annual card can be used Transportation: Muxuyuan Station on Subway Line 2, transfer to Bus 20 or 315 to Zhongshan Botanical Garden StationJourneyExplorer
Changsheng Deer Park is adorable and healing🤎 When Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty built the Xiaoling Mausoleum, he raised a thousand deer within the mausoleum area. The deer had silver tags on their necks with the word 'Changsheng' (longevity) inscribed on them. Hence, later generations referred to the Xiaoling deer as 'Changsheng Deer' or 'Silver Tag Deer'. These deer thrived in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum for over 300 years. 💚 Located on the east side of 'Taixiang Zhaoming' in Meihua Valley, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and on the north bank of Yanque Lake. 💚 Opening hours: Usually from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily. 💚 There is no separate charge for Changsheng Deer Park. You can enter with a ticket to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area, which costs 70 yuan per person. 💚 You can purchase professional feed (such as carrots, green grass, etc.) for an interactive feeding experience with the deer (available at the entrance of the deer park, priced at 30 yuan. For the health of the deer, bringing your own food for feeding is prohibited).Lewis_12-Scarlett

I made a special trip to Nanjing for the autumn of Yanzi LakeNanjing's romance is bestowed by autumn!🍂 For this piece of Taxodium distichum, I made a special trip to Ming Xiaoling.

Ming Xiaoling MausoleumAbout Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum: The mausoleum is built along a central axis, with main buildings including Lingxing Gate, Stone Bridge, Hall Site, and Red Wall, showcasing the solemnity and elegance of traditional Chinese culture. The mausoleum is built against the mountain and near the water, with a beautiful environment and high artistic value. ici Photography Tips: Wide-angle shots can be cluttered and lack a clear subject, so use a 3x or higher lens on your phone. For cameras, use a 70–200 mm or 100 mm telephoto lens. The park has a strong sense of compression, which makes for great photos. Address: Zhongshan Scenic Area, Xuanwu District, Nanjing Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to Muxuyuan Station (Exit 1) Overall, the architecture of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is solemn and simple, with high artistic value. The architecture combines the essence of ancient Chinese and Western architecture, giving a sense of solemnity, simplicity, and elegance. In addition, the surrounding environment of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is also a major feature. The entire scenic area faces the plain, with green mountains behind, Linggu Temple to the east, and Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to the west, creating a spacious and tranquil environment.Moore Jessica Jess
Finally, I captured the most beautiful red spider lilies in Nanjing.Well outside the east side of Linggong Gate 2D Jinshui Bridge Wheat Coffee Shop .. Nanjing | Second visit to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, finally captured the most beautiful red spider lilies in Nanjing. The best places to see red spider lilies are Linggu Temple and Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. I actually came to take photos on a rainy day last week, so today is my second visit. I guessed that this area would be in full bloom today, and sure enough, the red spider lilies, which are said to bloom on the road to the underworld, are also depicted as heavenly flowers in Buddhist scriptures. When the sunlight falls on them, You will see a mirage of layers and colors, and you will feel like you have entered another world.

The Most Beautiful 600 Meters in Nanjing - The Sacred Way of Ming Xiaoling MausoleumNanjing's Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is one of the largest imperial tombs, and also one of the most beautiful places to visit in autumn in Nanjing. The 615-meter-long Sacred Way is lined with pairs of massive stone animals - lions, xiezhi (mythical creatures), camels, elephants, qilins, and horses, kneeling and standing. They have quietly witnessed over 600 years of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, silently guarding the path and observing the cycle of seasons. I was first amazed by the spring of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum when I came here in April 2021, it was like an overturned palette, dazzling with colors that intoxicate the heart. In the golden autumn of November 2023, I visited the Sacred Way again, seeing the red leaves like fire, the yellow leaves like gold. The sunlight filtering through the leaves cast upon the ancient road, reflecting the vicissitudes of history. The short stretch of over 600 meters seemed to encapsulate the autumn of the entire Jinling city. The beauty of the Sacred Way lies not only in its natural splendor but also in its profound historical and cultural significance. A mere 600 meters, traversing 600 years, is indeed the most beautiful 600 meters in Nanjing. No matter the season, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum attracts countless visitors with its unique charm. 👍Highly recommended: Outside Gate 3 of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, there is a very secluded bald cypress forest by the Yanque Lake, which is as beautiful as an oil painting in autumn, with yellow and red interwoven to form a charming autumnal tapestry. 📝Note tips: Best viewing period: Early November - Early December, with the ginkgo leaves falling by the end of November, mid-November is the best time. 💰Admission: 70 RMB per person 🕙Opening hours: 7:00-17:30 open to the public. 🚉Transportation tips: Take Metro Line 1 or Line 2 to Xinjiekou Station, then transfer to Metro Line 10 to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Station Bus: Tourist Bus 1, Tourist Bus 3@1r3th_1llum1n@t12

Nanjing's spring is like a huge energy field that makes people's hearts race with excitement! Taken on: April 18th, 9 AM at Yanzhi Lake, the best time for photography: 7 AM - 10 AM Recommended photography spots: Inside Gate No. 3 of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum or by the bridge in Plum Blossom Valley Recommended index: Suitable for: Photography, strolling, families with children, couples Free before 6:30 AM and after 6:30 PM : Metro Line 2 Muxuyuan Station Exit 1 Ming XiaolingVaeloriaNocturne789]1
Nanjing's Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is amazing in December!💭 Whenever I think of Nanjing, I always think of the solemn and mysterious Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. This December visit made me feel its unique charm. 👣 Walking on the stone road covered with fallen leaves, I felt like I was traveling through time and space, back to that glorious era. 🏯【Destination Introduction】Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the joint tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his empress. It was built on the mountain and is magnificent. Every stone and tree here tells an ancient story. 📸【Check-in Points】Shixiang Road, Changsheng Deer Park, and Sifang City are all great photo backgrounds. Especially the ginkgo avenue in late autumn, with its golden yellow leaves, is breathtakingly beautiful. 🎟️【Scenic Area Tickets】Adult tickets are CNY 65, and student tickets are CNY 35. Remember to make a reservation in advance! 🗺️【Attraction Guide】It is recommended to enter from Gate 3 or Gate 5. You can choose the traditional 7 km route or the optimized 5 km route. If you are short on time, the 3 km simplified route is also suitable. 🏨【Accommodation Suggestions】Staying in a homestay near Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is not only convenient for sightseeing but also allows you to experience the local life of Nanjing. I recommend Xiaoqi Homestay, which is cost-effective and has a cozy environment. 🍜【Local Food】Nanjing's salted duck and duck blood vermicelli soup are must-try delicacies. Liu Changxing downstairs from the homestay offers hot and delicious thin-skinned soup dumplings for breakfast, starting your day off right! 🍂【Recommended Travel Season】Although Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in December does not have the cherry blossoms of spring or the red maples of autumn, its tranquility and solemnity are equally captivating. 💰【Money-saving Tips】You can buy a joint ticket online in advance, which includes multiple attractions, including Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, for a better deal! 💡【Tips】Remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring a camera to capture the historical weight and natural beauty. 🌈 Nanjing's Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is waiting for you to explore its beauty!Hazel.Simmons@79
