What a sight to behold! Nanjing Red Maple Ridge: A maple leaf fairyland in autumn!
In the blink of an eye, it's late autumn, and the red maple in Nanjing has reached its most beautiful moment. If you are visiting Nanjing, you must see the red maple. If you think Qixia Mountain is too far, then Zhongshan Botanical Garden is the best place to appreciate maple.
Red Maple Ridge in Nanjing is located in the core scenic area of Beiyuan. It has planted various kinds of Aceraceae plants, including common Acer negundo, Acer truncatum and Acer macrophyllum. Such diversity makes Red Maple Ridge one of the richest red leaf viewing spots in Nanjing, which is quite distinctive. Under the sunlight, the leaves of these deciduous trees are layered, making it a pleasant sight.

The Nanjing Botanical Garden in spring is Nanjing’s Monet Garden. The early cherry blossom forest is in full bloom. The flowers are full of people. The February blues are unscrupulous, as if entering the world of Smurfs. The various tulips make visitors unable to help but watch the photos.
Not bad, the environment is very good, there are many tulip flowers inside, the ginkgo tree is very beautiful, the tickets are not expensive, and there are not many people who come on Friday. Take a look, it is still very good to play. Suitable for enjoying flowers, taking pictures
I just went after the Spring Festival. The garden is not too big, but it is clean and quiet, quite suitable for couples or parents. At the same time, the soul is healing and knowledgeable, so that children can understand and understand various plants.

It was already afternoon when I went to the botanical garden. The sun was shining on the lake and the tree shadows reflected on the lake. It was beautiful. There was also a large exhibition hall inside. There were various plants. It was worth seeing and very casual.
I went in late autumn. I wanted to see maple leaves, but I was amazed by ginkgo. It was super beautiful. I took a lot of beautiful photos and met a lot of new plants. In short, it was a very good autumn tour.
The scenic spot is actually very big. I mainly came to see the red maple leaves. Unfortunately, it was late. The red leaves had fallen a lot. There were only a few scattered trees left. There was no whole red leaves, but it was still very beautiful.
