Step through the Great Golden Gate of Zhongshan Scenic Area and be transported to Ming Dynasty splendor! This imposing vermilion gate marks the start of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, where the 600-year-old Sacred Way is lined with astonishingly detailed stone creatures. Come at dawn to see mist swirling around these 'imperial guardian statues' - don't miss rubbing the pixiu statue for good luck! Nearby food stalls serve Nanjing's famous osmanthus-flavored treats - the perfect energy boost for exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
