Jinling Tour: Enjoy the Red Maple Leaves in Qixia

Mount Qixia is known as the "Scenic Spot of the Six Dynasties". In history, five kings and fourteen emperors have climbed Mount Qixia. In the Ming Dynasty, it was listed as one of the "Forty-eight Scenic Spots of Jinling" and has the reputation of "One Mount Qixia, half of the history of Jinling". Qixia Mountain originated in the Six Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because "there are many herbs in the mountain that can be used for health preservation", it was called "Sheshan" in ancient times. It has three peaks, east, middle and west, which are respectively called "Longshan, Fengxiang and Hushan". The mountains here are undulating and the scenery is beautiful, especially famous for its maple leaves. As soon as you enter the gate of Qixia Mountain, you will be greeted by a maple tree that looks like fireworks. Its leaves are so dazzling and pure red. Just this one tree is enough to make you unable to remain calm. You can't help but admire it in your heart. There is no most beautiful, only more beautiful! As one of the four major maple viewing spots in China, Qixia Mountain relies on its strength! No wonder Emperor Qianlong fell in love with Qixia Mountain at first sight. He wrote "A delightful first encounter" the moment he saw it and praised it as "the most beautiful mountain in Jinling". He thus became the imperial "image ambassador" of Qixia Mountain. Following the guide map, we walked into the maple forest of Qixia Mountain, and everything we saw was shocking. Maple trees are everywhere in the mountains, scattered in height and density, with clusters of red blooming, deep red like blood, light red like clouds. The delicate maple leaves have changed from their former low-key and introverted appearance. In their most beautiful years, they are warm and flamboyant, like bunches of flames, blooming with the charm of red, setting the whole hillside ablaze, burning with the splendor of autumn, and decorating the world into a dazzling picture. The eyes are filled with the elegance of yellow and the passion of red, nothing but beauty... Qixia Mountain
