Autumn appreciation in Nanjing | The leaves are not yellow in mid-to-early November.

| The leaves are not yellow in mid-to-early November. I thought about coming to Nanjing to enjoy the autumn🍂I didn’t expect it’s still a bit hot 🙂 The weather is still cloudy☁️ Today’s attractions are all in one line, and we can arrange a day trip, but it’s a bit useless. 📍Lao Mendong 🔹You can go to Laomendong for breakfast in the morning. 🔹Personally, I feel that the commercial atmosphere in Laomendong is not as strong as that of Confucius Temple. 🔹There are many cultural and creative stores, food stores, clothing stores, etc., and it is quite easy to browse. 📍Zhanyuan 🔹Tickets🎫: 30 yuan/person 🔹It is about 1.2 kilometers away from Laomen East. You can walk there or take a taxi. 🔹Zhanyuan is quite big. I went there at the wrong time. The leaves were not yellow yet, but still green, but it was very antique. There were quite a few ladies wearing Hanfu to take pictures. 🔹As soon as you enter the door, you will see the history museum, and through the museum you will see the garden landscape. 🔹Every window, every corridor, and every pavilion is a good opportunity. 🔹The play time is about 2 hours. 📍Gujiming Temple 🔹Ticket🎫: 10 yuan/person 🔹It is 5 kilometers away from Zhanyuan. You can choose to ride a bike, take a taxi or take the subway there. But Zhanyuan is also 1.3 kilometers away from the subway station, which is a bit far. 🔹The most beautiful Gujiming Temple is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom from March to April. I personally don’t think you should go there except for praying. There are quite a lot of people on weekends. 📍Xuanwu Lake 🔹Xuanwu Lake is on the left hand side of the exit of Gujiming Temple. These two attractions can be visited together. 🔹You can climb the city wall to take pictures of Jiming Temple. 🔹Xuanwu Lake is also quite big, and there are sightseeing buses available. 🔹The recommendation index is not high. 📍Yangzhou 🔹Xuanwu Lake is 2 subway stops away from Nanjing Station, which is very convenient. 🔹With 1 hour of high-speed train time, you can definitely go to Yangzhou to experience the bathhouse culture and Yangzhou morning tea😋
