The bald cypress trees hang low and reflect on the lake, creating a fairyland-like scene. Every photo you take is a masterpiece. 🚩 Changsheng Deer Park: You can see the deer from outside the fence, but you can't get close to them. You can feed the deer for CNY 30, and up to three people can enter. The white sika deer are adorable. 🚩 Shixiang Road: Known as the "most beautiful 600 meters in Nanjing," Shixiang Road is now at its best. The ginkgo leaves are golden like crowns, and the maple leaves are fiery red like flames. The autumn breeze gently blows, and the leaves dance. People walk under the trees, enjoying the tranquility of life. 🚩 Yanzhixue: The maple leaves outside the pavilion turn fiery red in fall and winter. From a distance, they look like clouds, mist, or red clouds filling the sky, as beautiful as snow, hence the name. 🚩 Wutong Avenue: This unique poetic corridor in Nanjing is now a gradient of colors, turning from green to yellow. Wutong Avenue is most beautiful in the early morning. The Tyndall effect creates a magical scene, with beams of light like golden curtains slanting down from the branches and leaves, creating a dreamy view on the road. You can also follow my route in reverse, starting with Wutong Avenue in the early morning.
