Qixia Mountain is still a place worth visiting. It is beautiful and refreshing. Listening to Buddha, you can sit there for a long time. Your heart has calmed down. I have been going to Nanjing for 4 years. I really almost missed it.
Qixia Mountain has been there many times, and only the red leaves are this time. There are indeed many people, but we try our best to pick the way to go with fewer people. The Qixia Mountain in late autumn is really beautiful, the forest is dyed, most of the red leaves are dyed, and there are many ginkgo leaves on the ground. Everyone is rushing to take pictures. I took part of the regular route and some of the sparsely populated trails, lost to navigation, but it was worth it.
A northerner really walked into the southern mountains for the first time, tree vines and random visible vines are really worthwhile! I walked for two hours in the mountain forest road and took a lot of plants and mountain stones I saw for the first time!
A good friend's appointment came to this beautiful resistance, the time is very fate, warm up to catch up with the autumn leaves. Unlocked my mountain climbing achievements. I have experience in the future. I am also very happy that my friends have rich experience, and the photo technology is also very good, leaving a lot of good memories.
Nanjing in December was 20 degrees. Unlike winter, it feels high in autumn. The red leaves on Qixia Mountain are really beautiful to suffocate. It is worth punching in. The incense of Qixia Temple is also very strong, but it is a pity that I didn't eat plain noodles.
