Walking time: November 2021

Walking method: Cycling

At this time, in Nanjing, there is no need to go to the online celebrity check-in place or make special strategies. As long as you walk around, you will be impressed by the intensity of autumn. My work place is on the east corner of the beautiful Great Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area, and I am immersed in the beautiful autumn in Nanjing. There are various introductions of Nanjing's autumn on the Internet, which makes me, a Nanjing native who can see autumn everywhere, unable to resist the pace of autumn. The good weather of the week tempted me to leave my own acres and three acres of land every day to see the autumn outside campus. Take my little tram and set off during the noon break.

The post office road in the jungle has also become a colorful palette.

The Post Office Cemetery on Post Office Road is now a Post Office Museum, which is even more charming among the golden sycamore leaves in autumn.

The Post Office Road continues and all the way to Meihua Valley Road, the place where Internet celebrities check in. Although I was mentally prepared, the number of people watching the autumn still exceeded my expectations. At noon on an ordinary weekday, the crowd on this road can be described as crowded. Several bridges were crowded with people.

On the north bank of the lake, there is a standing fir forest. The colors of the fir trees are either red, yellow, red and yellow, and green and yellow. They are colorful, making people dizzying, like a colorful fairy tale.

The leaves of the metasequoia forest in the lake have become colorful, and the fir forest is colorful, like a flame that ignites the waters.

Rows of colorful trees stand against the water, quiet and beautiful. This is the Plum Blossom Valley Taxus Wetland. The cedar forest stands straight and straight, leaning against the water, or stopping directly in the water. The yellowed leaves are dyed red layer by layer. Under the bright noon sun, the slender and beautiful branches and leaves look like the tail feathers of the legendary phoenix.

The colorful colors are not only on the branches, but the red and yellow fir trees are reflected in the crystal clear lake water. The peaceful lake surface also becomes colorful and beautiful, like an oil painting with thick ink and heavy colors.

Continue west along Plum Blossom Valley Road and look at the southern slope of Plum Blossom Valley across Swallow Lake. The southern slope is the most colorful landscape in Plum Blossom Valley, with spring, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, azalea, fir trees, osmanthus...

Looking across the bank from Plum Blossom Valley Road, there are mottled beauty of color blocks all year round, and autumn is the richest color.

The small boat on the shore is still docked, waiting quietly, waiting for the changes of the seasons here.

The vegetation here is rich and lush with water and grass, attracting birds to build nests, fish to sing, and black and white swans to wander in the water.

Many photography enthusiasts are posing on the shore.

The unknown tree has fiery red fruits that are particularly hot against the blue sky and green leaves.

Autumn in Yanque Lake is hot. The lake in this area is wider than the east. The lake is peaceful and elegant, as calm as a mirror.

The sky is clean, white clouds are blooming, and the reflection in the water is clear, just like another forest! Not far away, Zhongshan Mountain is towering, and the various levels of vegetation on the slopes are colorful during this season.

The hillside on the bank is full of lit metasequoia trees all week long, and happy deer are running around on the slope. Unfortunately, my camera cannot capture their figures.

The curve of the lake is beautiful and gentle, creating a full garden landscape.

The four seasons here are distinct, forming a landscape of distant mountains and close to water, with mountains and rivers interdependent. There is a straight fir forest on the hillside... Green, yellow, bright yellow, purple, fiery red... Form patches of color blocks, adjacent to each other, mottled and bright.

I don't know which tourist who knows how to play left a branch ring here to become a prop for our shooting.

The white hydrophilic platform stands straight on the water surface, the pavilions have brick red architectural lacquer, and the black roof is hidden in a colorful vegetation and green water.

There is a round island in the lake. In late autumn, the island is still densely covered with plants, matched with trees, shrubs and grass. The two weird trees on the island, one stands upright and upright, and the other leans forward to explore the water. They are full of movement and lively and interesting. The tall and upright tree has many branches at the top, shaped like small flying dragons stretching out into the sky.

Yanque Lake also serves as a cooperative use for the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area. The north side of Yanque Lake, including Yanque Lake, has become part of the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area. The south side of Yanque Lake is an open space. This is the Plum Blossom Valley Road that accompanies Yanque Lake. It also draws a beautiful arc along the water. Vehicles are driving on Meihua Valley Road and pass the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area.

The lake rippled on one side, and the road meandered on the other side. Nanjing is colorful in autumn, and an ordinary highway-Meihuagu Road gives people a colorful impression.

The east end of Meihua Valley Road is this extremely atmospheric picture, the tender front lake and the towering Ming City Wall.

The beauty of autumn gives this place a different artistic conception compared with other seasons.

On the north side of Qianhu is the Botanical Garden where I am going to go. Enjoy it from a distance first.

The rippling and agility of the lake, and the exquisiteness and clarity brought by the glass tropical botanical museum make the light and shadow appearing on the picture vivid and dreamy. Coupled with the color of the forest in the mountains and the color of the crescent embankment in the water tell us that it is autumn.
