[2024 Nanjing Attraction] Travel Guide for The Ming Tomb Scenic Area (Updated Sep)

The winter is gradually getting stronger in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum

🌟Highlights: 🌟Highlights: Just into December, a cold wave suddenly blew into Nanjing, and the temperature dropped by seven or eight degrees. Thinking that there should not be many people traveling in such cold weather, I invited a few good friends to drive directly into the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum scenic area to see the golden ginkgo and appreciate the red maple leaves. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car entered the scenic area, I saw a constant stream of tourists coming and going. Under the ginkgo tree and in the maple forest, long guns and short cannons and mobile phone poles were incompatible with each other, competing for superiority. The red maple and ginkgo reflected each other, casting mottled soft light in the warm sun of winter. ❤Recommended reason: Coming to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum scenic area is not just to see the mausoleum, its natural environment is also first-class. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, it has beautiful scenery and colors that make people linger. Although the ticket price is not cheap, it still does not reduce the interest of tourists. Free for 70 years old, half price for over 60 years old, shuttle bus is not free🙅🏻‍♂️No discount

History on a Grand Scale in Nanjing

#tripblazers #couplestrip #nanjing The tomb of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be found right here in Nanjing. Zhu Yuanzhang was buried here in 1398 and in modern times, it has become a popular tourist destination. The highlight for me were the intricately carved, 600 year old steps, that boasts dragon heads on each corner. There are many more building to explore inside, leading up to the incredible treasure mound in the mountain side.

Ming Mausoleum: perfect rainy day outing

You can buy a combined ticket, valid for two days, to see most of the historical attractions in the area. You need to buy it through a mini-app and it only costs ¥100. We went to Zixia lake and and the mausoleum and could have easily stayed a few more hours exploring the paths through the forest. It rained intermittently but was still an amazing experience. My suggestion is to bring your own tea/coffee and snacks. We ended up staying past 7pm and had to ask for help leaving the area as the gates were closed. 🤭 there weren’t many people around that day, but I feel like the place is so big that even if the weather had been more clement it would not have too crowded. 10/10 would go again. #nanjing #rainyday #travellingwithkids #2023 #nature #Chinanature

Historical site.✨ This is the mausoleum of Hongwu Emperor, the. founder of Ming dynasty. From here can see the purple mountain 🗻. The wall of the mausoleum is more than 22. 5km long. The area is so large and different attractions are on different corners. The electric vans are inside for easy transportation with tickets. 💴 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

The Sacred Way. ✨ The most famous pathway inside the Mausoleum. It believes that the pairs of stone statues standing here to guard the way to the after life 🌟. The way is around 2400m long in S shape. The way is very beautiful with greenery during summer. A must visit place for those who loves history. 🌙 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Xiaoling Mausoleum is an unmissable scenic spot in Nanjing. I recommend entering through the No. 3 gate, as you get a fantastic view of the trees, with their red, yellow, and green leaves reflected in the water. The path you'll walk is over 600 years old, and flanked on both sides by stone statues, there to guard the tomb of the Ming Emperor Taizu.

In the fall, the most beautiful part of Jinling is the Zhongshan Scenic Area. There are many tourist attractions here, such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, Linggu Temple and so on. Even a random Wutong Avenue in the mountains can be amazing in the fall. In the Wutong Avenue in the mountains, the leaves of the phoenix tree are all yellow, and when the wind blows, it falls a lot with the wind.  In the early morning, the fallen leaves had not yet been swept away and when I walked on it, it made a sound. This road is my favourite one. In the summer, the trees are shaded by the sun. It is a rare summer resort. The golden leaves in autumn are very charming. It is not as nice in the winter since there is a trace of desolateness and depression. The best place to take pictures here is the stone road in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

@ Short weekend can also experience RV life. I went to Nanjing five years ago to revisit the old place. Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of the founding emperor and queen of the Ming Dynasty. The light of the morning penetrated the yellowish leaves

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).

Nanjing, I won't let you miss this Nanjing Little Jiuzhaigou

Having visited Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Yanque Lake, and Qian Lake numerous times, I still missed this nearby internet-famous spot known as Little Jiuzhaigou in Nanjing. On June 29th, I took some real shots. There was a heavy rainstorm in Nanjing, so I thought there should be plenty of water. Sure enough, I saw streams trickling and small waterfalls forming at the drops, creating rapid rivers. Personally, I think it resembles some scenic spots in Anhui more. Calling it Little Liuzhaigou is a bit 😅. 🚨 The water flow is very strong on rainy days, so it's not recommended to play in the water. Safety should always come first. Today, I also saw some kids playing in the stream. Because of the rain ☔️, there weren't many people around. I guess it gets crowded on good weather days, but safety is paramount‼️ 📍🧭 Nanjing Little Jiuzhaigou, take a small path next to Yanque Lake. We followed it and ended up outside Zhongshan Gate, behind the Pixiu statue.

After the rain, finding the Garden of Words in Nanjing is something only locals know about

Actually, there are quite a few forest waterfalls here, and there is also an elephant slide pool The largest waterfall, San Die Waterfall, is right next to the elephant slide The elephant pool was built in the 1990s as a water park, but it is now abandoned. It is a childhood memory for many locals Because of its hidden location, there are almost no tourists. It is a true secret place. It is especially recommended to visit after a heavy summer rain, when the water flow is abundant, and the mountain is filled with a fresh and natural atmosphere.
