If seasons are also ranked, I think autumn is probably the season with the least sense of existence.

Autumn in the south does not have the gentleness of spring, the warmth of summer, and the beauty of winter, but I really love this short but comfortable autumn.

How lovely autumn is. With the autumn wind, even the accidental sneezing sounds like "Love Autumn". After walking through so many cities, all the longing for this beautiful season have been seen in real life in Nanjing.

Autumn in Nanjing is the dance of butterflies from the colorful sycamore leaves, the ginkgo trees in the sun rendering dotted oil paintings, and the red maples all over the mountains swaying to the rhythm of life.

Autumn in Nanjing is a collision between modern and ancient times, a combination of art and market. This city, known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has many historical and cultural relics and extremely profound cultural heritage.

The red maples all over the mountains and streets are hazy and real, warm and subtle. The chill of late autumn can also be dispelled by this large area of orange-red color.

After a while, when autumn is strong in late October, you must come to Nanjing for a walk.

Map of Nanjing Maple Appreciation:

The autumn day in Nanjing is very short, but the short autumn day is the most beautiful time in Nanjing. The fiery red maple leaves carry the unique bleakness of autumn, as if to tell the historical vicissitudes of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Autumn in Nanjing is among the maple leaves, among the mountains and forests, and in the hearts of every Nanjing person.

Qixia Mountain-always a C-position for appreciating maple trees

There is a saying that "one Qixia Mountain is half of the history of Jinling." Qixia Mountain has been a gathering place of religion, emperors, stone carvings and other cultures since ancient times. It is also one of the four major maple attractions in China.

Qixia Mountain has more than ten kinds of red-leaf trees. Not only are the mountains full of red maples in autumn, but the "Frost-Red Garden" of the Red Leaf Garden is equipped with red-leaf flowers and trees at all times, so that you can enjoy the Qixia red-maple landscape all year round.

Maple leaves in Qixia Mountain are mainly concentrated on the west side of the mountain, called Fengling. There are large tracts of maple forests here. In late autumn, the maple leaves all over the mountains and fields are as red as fire.

It is generally best to watch when you get up early in the morning. At this time, the mountains are filled with smoke and maple leaves are looming. It is like a fairyland, giving you a poetic feeling.
