Walk beneath Nanjing’s living canopy

Walk the tree-lined section of Lingyuan Road around Dajinmen and Sifangcheng. Look up as the branches meet overhead, then continue only as far into Zhongshan as your day allows. This is an easy way to give a monument-heavy visit a slower, seasonal stretch.

陵园路梧桐大道

The avenue carries traffic. Photograph from the footpath or an open pedestrian bridge; nearby monuments have their own admission arrangements.
