    "Confucius Temple Pedestrian Street is worth seeing. There are many people taking boats on the Qinhuai River. Fortunately, we bought a 140 yuan ferry ticket. The queue time is about 10 minutes. The boat is on the 2nd number. The next door is 120 yuan ferry ticket. The visual queue time starts from 30 minutes. The boat is on the 1st number. The most regrettable thing is that our child accidentally dropped the mobile phone in the river when taking the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River, hey! Nanjing is so hot, queue for 10 minutes, sweating 5 pounds!"

    "You can treat it as a large park, unlike the Dingling in Beijing, Ming Xiaoling did not dig, and you could not see the inside. The scenery is still good, otherwise Sun Quan, Hong Wudi, and Zhongshan are all buried here. If it is especially worth seeing, the benevolent will see benevolence, the wise will see wisdom!"

    Highlights: The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is located in the Zhongshan Scenic Area. It is the tomb of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. The mausoleum is magnificent and represents the achievements of early Ming architecture and stone carving art. It also directly influenced the shape of the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties.Cemetery distributionThe overall layout of the mausoleum area is divided into two parts: one is the winding mausoleum sacred road, and the other is the main building of the mausoleum, which is the burial place of Zhu Yuanzhang. The main buildings of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum include the Wenwu Fangmen (i.e. the main gate), the Xiandian, the Fangcheng, the Minglou, and the Baoding (i.e. Chongqiu), all of which are arranged according to the traditional central axis and surrounded by walls. The mausoleum layout design of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum of "front court and back bedroom, front and back circle" and the architectural forms such as the Fangcheng Minglou, Baocheng Baoding, pioneered the construction regulations of the mausoleums of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, and is hailed as a milestone in the development history of Chinese imperial mausoleums.ShintoThe sacred road runs from Xiamafang to the main gate of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and is 2,400 meters long. It is winding and deep, which is different from the straight pattern of the traditional sacred roads in Chinese imperial mausoleums. The sacred road is divided into two sections: Shixiang Road and Wengzhong Road. The stone sculptures on both sides are a highlight, with 12 pairs of tall stone beasts and 2 pairs of civil officials and military generals. The stone sculptures are carved from a whole piece of stone, with simple shapes, clear patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. In autumn, the ginkgo and red maple trees here are also a sight to behold, attracting a large number of tourists who love photography.Hall of WorshipThe Hall of Worship, also known as the Xiaoling Hall, was originally the place where the tablets of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were enshrined. The original hall has been destroyed, but there are still three layers of Xumi pedestals and six large stone steps with reliefs of clouds, dragons, mountains and waters. Now it is the exhibition room of Ming Xiaoling Historical Materials.FangchengFangcheng is a huge building in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum. It is built with large stones on the outside and has a Xumi pedestal at the bottom. Minglou is located on top of Fangcheng. The original yellow-tiled roof was destroyed but was later restored. You can climb up to Minglou along the trails on the left and right sides of Fangcheng.BaodingTo the north of Fangcheng is Baoding, also known as Baocheng, which is about 400 meters in diameter. It is the bedroom of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. Enter through the archway in the middle of Fangcheng, which leads to a round arch tunnel. Climb 54 steps to get out of the tunnel, and you will see the south wall of Baoding. On the wall, there is an inscription "This mountain is the tomb of Ming Taizu". You can't go any further. Under Baoding is the underground palace of Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, which has not been excavated.Plum Garden and Cherry Blossom GardenPlum Blossom Mountain is located to the south of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and is planted with plum blossoms. There is a Plum Blossom Valley at the foot of the mountain, with more than 13,000 plum trees. The Wintersweet Garden of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is distributed on both sides of the central axis from Jinshui Bridge to Ming Tower, covering an area of more than 80 mu, with more than 3,000 wintersweets planted, covering three major species groups and more than 60 varieties. The wintersweets are in their best viewing period from December every year to late February of the following year.Sun Quan's tomb can also be seen on Meihua Mountain. There is a cherry blossom garden near the Shinto Shixiang Road, and tourists come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms in an endless stream every late March and early April. The Red Mansion Art Garden is a garden landscape that embodies the Red Mansion culture and the rich Jiangnan style. The Zixia Lake in the north is a good place to escape the summer heat.

    "Overall, it is worth the fare. The living conditions of the animals are very good. It is really hard to go up and down the mountain. There was only one cockroach feeding project found inside, but nothing else was found. There are a lot of people in the zoo."

    "Although the place is not big, it let me learn a lot of knowledge. Although Heyuan is a private courtyard, the family members are all patriotic and love people. Many of them are designed in the style of the Republic of China, and they have also added a lot of Western elements. Worth a visit."

    >100km from Ma'anshan
    Highlights: The Ho Family Garden is a typical garden of the late Qing Dynasty. The garden cleverly combines Chinese and Western architecture. The pavilion has a series of forked, covered walkways, and the whole layout gives the sense that the building is highly structured. The Ho Family Garden mainly consists of 3 portions: the rear garden, the residential courtyard, and a rock grotto in the southeast. The western part of the garden has a pool in the middle. A water pavilion is located in the pool. This is where the owner of the park watches theatrical performances.

    "Similar to most of the old streets of the ancient city, the old houses facing the street in Dongguan Street, Yangzhou have become selling snacks and tourist souvenirs. There are also houses and homestays in Hengxiang. It is recommended to visit with the garden."
    Yangzhou.Dongguan Street/Pishi Street
    >100km from Ma'anshan
    Highlights: Dongguan Street is located in the center of Yangzhou. The main street is made from slates which had been paved piece by piece. Walking along the street, you can often catch glimpses of the salt merchants' courtyards made from blue bricks and gray tiles. The areas where local food and specialties are concentrated add to the fascination for visitors. It is truly worthy of its reputation as a representative historical old street of Yangzhou City. Dongguan Street extends in the east to the Ancient Canal and in the west to Guoqing Road. It is 1,122 meters long in total. The Dongguan Ancient Pier on its eastern end was a bustling terminal of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. The presence of the pier had enabled the development of the trade-intensive downtown Dongguan Street. The current Dongguan Street still maintains its appearance during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    "Convenient visa, the right time. Fast processing, everything is the best arrangement. Come here, choose him, no problem. The time is just right, the world is just right. Good mountains, good water, good scenery, sometimes riding the wind and waves."
    Yangzhou.Dongguan Street/Pishi Street
    >100km from Ma'anshan
    Highlights: Geyuan Garden was built in the Qing Dynasty on the site of the former Shouzhi Garden of the Ming Dynasty. At the time, the garden was planted with bamboo. Because the bamboo leaves were shaped like the Chinese character for “Ge”, the garden was thus called “Ge Garden.” The four rockeries in the garden are very unique; after making it around the garden, it’s as if the visitor has experienced spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Geyuan Garden is not large and can be divided into three areas: the northern bamboo viewing area, the central flower garden, and the southern residential area. Compared with other traditional Chinese gardens, the essence of Geyuan Garden lies in the art of the rockeries with the theme of the four seasons. In addition to the rockeries, walking in the northern bamboo forest is a very pleasant experience. Even during hot summer days, walking in the green bamboo forest often feels quite cool.
