It's a cool autumn day, accompanied by bursts of slightly cool autumn wind, the land of Jiangnan has entered the most beautiful season of the year-autumn. This is a good time to enjoy autumn. When it comes to enjoying autumn, Nanjing Qixia Mountain has always been one of my favorite destinations for enjoying autumn. Every year, when the autumn color is right, the endless autumn color here always attracts me to enjoy autumn, so I come for it again and again. It seems that every time I come to Nanjing is autumn, and it is also to come to Qixia Mountain to enjoy autumn.

[Qixia Mountain: Autumn is still early, but it is amazing enough]

There are four seasons in the year, and everyone has their own favorite seasons. Some people like the vitality of spring, some people like the warm carnival of summer, and what I like most is the colorful colors of autumn. This may be a love for photographers. People like to record the colorful scenery through their own cameras, and record the red leaves all over the mountains and fields, flowing with gold.

Qixia Mountain is located in Qixia District of Nanjing. It was called Shashan Mountain in ancient times and was known as the "No. 1 Mingxiu Mountain in Jinling." It is one of the four major maple attractions in China and can be said to be the most beautiful place in the country. Entering Qixia Mountain Scenic Area, you can see the leaves on the ancient sycamore tree in front of Qixia Ancient Temple that are as dazzling as gold slices under the sunshine.

As a frequent visitor to Qixia Mountain Scenic Area, he has always witnessed the inheritance and changes here. The wind chime praying area located on the left side of the entrance always attracts tourists from the past. In order to collect more people's blessings, this year's wind chime area has new changes. In such an environment, listening to the pleasant sound of wind chimes is an extremely beautiful thing.

When I came to Qixia Mountain, I happened to encounter the 21st Red Maple Art Festival being held in the scenic area. Some activities have also been specially set up in the scenic area. A series of activities of the Red Maple Art Festival will also start at night, with anticipation. Start this trip to Qixia Mountain to enjoy the autumn.

There has always been a household saying in Nanjing,"The ox heads in spring, and the sunset in autumn." It can also be seen that Qixia Mountain has always been an excellent place to enjoy autumn colors. Qianlong visited Jiangnan for six times and visited Qixia Mountain five times. In history, five kings and fourteen emperors once climbed Qixia Mountain. Among them, this also shows that Qixia Mountain has unparalleled autumn colors in the world.

Autumn in the south comes a little later than autumn in the north, and the maple leaves in front of the mountain gate are still as green as ever. Although the season has not yet arrived, the red leaves on the top of the mountain are already full of autumn color. The fiery red maples, chicken claw maples, triangular maples... There are a wide variety of red leaves, although they are not yet covered in the mountains and plains, the autumn color in front of you is already extremely amazing.

Qixia Mountain is known as the "Famous Site of the Six Dynasties". In the Ming Dynasty, it was listed as one of the "Forty-Eight Scenery Scenarios of Jinling" and is known as "a Qixia Mountain, half of the history of Jinling." In Qixia Mountain, there are more than 80 historical monuments and sites, gathering religious culture, imperial culture, green culture, folk culture, geological culture, stone carving culture, and tea culture. Therefore, during the process of climbing mountains and enjoying the scenery, you will always find a variety of pavilions, pavilions, historical monuments.

Autumn in Qixia Mountain always gives people endless surprises. Every place has intoxicating scenery. Whether it is the fiery red maple leaves or the girl dressed in red Hanfu, it makes people feel bright. This is the charm of nature. There are several places to enjoy autumn on Qixia Mountain. If you want to see the spectacular autumn scenery, then Hongye Valley and Fenglin Lake are the best places to go. Here you can see the red leaf viewing area integrating mountains, stones, water forests and pavilions.

On the top of Qixia Mountain, there is also a place with a very spectacular autumn color-Autumn Road. This autumn color road is adjacent to Luyu Tea House. The trees on both sides of the road have changed into autumn clothes, and leaves fall with the autumn wind. The best destination is when the leaves return to their roots. A burst of autumn wind swept by, and the flames danced, red leaves reflected the sky, fruits were on the branches, and the layers of forest were dyed.

[Enjoy the maple trees at night and listen to a night maple concert]

I have been to Qixia Mountain many times, but this is the first time I have experienced a night tour here. The Red Maple Festival series of activities-the Night Maple Theme Concert is staged wonderfully every weekend. As the sky got late, lights were lit up everywhere on Qixia Mountain, lanterns on the pavilions and pavilions were lit up, and colorful lanterns were also lit up under these maple and sycamore trees.

In addition to the concert, at the event site, there were also outstanding photography works of Fengyuying and Shushan Night Shops, which is also Qixia Mountain, and Shashan Night Shops is the night market. The night market is along the Wutong Avenue in front of the mountain gate. Line up, each stall is filled with unique products, some are specialty food, some are meaningful souvenirs, or some cultural and creative products, attracting many people to visit and sightseeing.

On the square on the right side of Wutong Avenue, this is the main venue of the concert. The main venue is also arranged with ulterior motives. The performance stage is in front of an antique ancient building, and there are multiple tents placed in the square in front of the door. Tourists can sit in the tents, listen to the band's melodious singers, and enjoy the night maple under the stars.

At the concert site, in addition to good songs, some interesting game interactive sessions were also arranged. Tourists happily experienced interactions here, including archery, throwing, etc.

The places to admire night maple are mainly concentrated in front of the mountain gate and Mingjing Lake. Walking through Mingjing Lake is the first view of Qixia Mountain. There is a lake center pavilion in the lake and a Jiuqu Bridge connected to the bank. The shape is exquisite. Mingjing Lake is surrounded by maple trees, and under the illumination of colorful lights, these maple trees are full of dazzling trees, making the whole scene extremely dreamy.
