The scenic area is vast. This time, I mainly visited the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Music Terrace, and Linggu Scenic Area. The Wutong Avenue left the deepest impression on me. The avenue lined with dozens of meters tall sycamore trees immediately reminded me of Fei Yunfan and Zi Ling. Walking on such a tree-lined avenue, I was so happy I almost fainted…
While at the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, you can visit the Changsheng Deer Park to feed the deer. The deer there are very friendly, and you can freely touch and take photos with them.
My route was: from the Wutong Avenue along the ring road to Yanque Lake, then to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum (remember to enter from Gate 3!), followed by the Meiling Palace, Music Terrace, and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Note that this route is quite strenuous on the legs, so be prepared! Also, remember to buy shuttle bus tickets in advance and wait at the stop to save yourself a lot of walking!
