I thought Nanjing was already beautiful, until I came here...

I thought Nanjing's beauty was unparalleled, until I came across Qixia Mountain, and realized that there are even more beautiful places in the world. Qixia Mountain is the most beautiful mountain in Jinling, and is one of the four best places to see maple leaves. Every autumn, the mountain is covered with red leaves, like a sea of fire, and the scenery is so beautiful that it is like a painting. The main attractions are Mingjing Lake, Qixia Temple, Hongye Valley, and Shihuang Linjiang. Every step is a beautiful scene, and every frame is like a painting. You can't miss taking photos here! The original price of the adult ticket is CNY 80, but if you book one day in advance, it is only CNY 75. Students, seniors, and others can also enjoy discounts with their ID cards. It is recommended to enter from the west gate and exit from the south gate, so you can see different scenery. If you are tired, the sightseeing bus is a great choice, with a one-way ticket costing CNY 10 per stop. There are many hotels and inns at the foot of the mountain, with a wide range of prices. The environment is pleasant. As for food, Qixia vegetarian food, osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, and duck blood vermicelli soup are authentic Nanjing flavors that you can't miss. The best time to see the maple leaves is from late November to early December. If you want to save money, you can enter the park before 7 am for free. Finally, please note that there is no hot water supply in the park, so be sure to bring a thermos. Come to Qixia Mountain and enjoy the beautiful maple leaves!
