Come to Nanjing to enjoy the autumn, and don’t miss this hidden gem

Visiting Nanjing in November for autumn viewing? Stop going to overcrowded spots! Locals treasure the millennium-old Dabaosen Temple ruins, the real hidden gem for check-ins. The ginkgo trees at the entrance have all turned golden. Sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling windows and taking in the autumn scenery of Nanjing is truly delightful~ It’s recommended to visit during the day, explore the various exhibition areas and the ruins inside the museum, then stay for the 6:30 PM lighting ceremony in the evening, which is very impressive! 📍 Nanjing Dabaosen Temple Ruins Museum 🚇 Metro Line 1, Zhonghuamen Station, Exit 2 ⏰ November lighting time: every night at 18:30 🏮 Lighting Ceremony · Glazed Pagoda Night View When the nine-story glazed pagoda lights up one by one at dusk, it feels like stepping back to the era hundreds of years ago when the pagoda’s lights never went out. The shock and emotion at this moment are truly indescribable! 📍 The café opposite the square in front of the pagoda offers lanterns in advance. 📷 Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ The book frame at the entrance of Dabaosen Temple 2️⃣ The stairs at the entrance and the beautiful decoration check-in spot on the second floor 3⃣️ Millennium gaze 4⃣️ Millennium underground palace 5⃣️ Golden Buddha in the Hanwen Tripitaka Pavilion 6⃣️ Square in front of the pagoda Actually, every exhibition hall is super photogenic, perfect for taking pictures‼️ Can’t fit everything here haha, you can explore more on your own. ⭕️ Recommended tour route: Main Hall ➠ Changgan Buddhist Lineage ➠ Millennium Gaze ➠ Earth Official Sacred Relics ➠ Lotus Pond Sea Assembly ➠ South Gallery ➠ Gratitude to All Beings ➠ Millennium Underground Palace ➠ Square in Front of the Pagoda ➠ Hanwen Tripitaka Exhibition Hall ➠ Exit
