Qixia Mountain in Nanjing, I had missed so many springs there

🌿There is a saying in Nanjing: 'Head to Niushou Mountain in spring, and Qixia Mountain in autumn.' 📖Meaning: In spring, go to Niushou Mountain for a spring outing, and in autumn, go to Qixia Mountain to appreciate the maple leaves. This proverb reveals the distinct characteristics of Niushou Mountain and Qixia Mountain, but the beauty of Qixia Mountain is not limited to autumn; it is equally picturesque in spring! In spring, Qixia Mountain is less crowded, and the tickets are cheaper than during the Red Maple Festival. Spring not only brings a mountain full of greenery, offering a sense of a secluded path, but you can also find red maples in the mountains. The west gate entrance now features a new 'Monet Garden,' which is very photogenic; the ginkgo trees at Qixia Temple are green again, full of vitality.
