392 steps up to the top! Chinese visit regularly. Great food court. Fresh delicious cheap food. Lovely parks to walk around. VEry enjoyable to get out of the smoggy city for a while, into some cleaner (?) air!

We absolutely loved this experience. It was a bit of a walk for my husband who has a disability so if you can I would take a taxi up to the cable car, taxis are very reasonable. Being Europeans we were a bit of a "sight" to the local people but they were very friendly and funny. The views you... More

We visited during the Plum Blossom Festival midweek, it was a clear sunny day and the flowers were lovely. It was quite busy but it didn't create much of a problem because of the space available. Take own food and drink as the quality available to purchase is not great quality. Overall a nice day spent at Purple mountain, recommend... More

Purple Mountain and various temples and tombs on it are definitely worth a day exploring, especially if you have decent weather. There is a tourist bus/train that takes you between the three main clusters for a minimal charge. Take a taxi to the first site, bus around and then taxi home. All pretty easy. The paths that we explored were... More

Overall it is nice place to visit - green and easy to reach from the city center. But as you are not the only one who want to visit it - beware of the crowds in the area. It is nice to go up the mountain - the higher you go the less people it shall be - so if... More

The mountain ha s three quite interesting attractions on it and is quite a pretty natural hill. The tombs and the temple are pretty good and the mountain is definitely worth visiting while in Nanjing. The main problem, as you would expect, is that it is totally overrun with tourists. There is never a minute of quiet time and taking... More

The perfect place to get away from the hussle of the city and stroll through wide forests. The mausoleums and temples are impressive and give you a beautiful insight in Chinese culture and history. The view from the pagoda is also worth climbing the stairs to the top.

This is the best tourist spot in Nanjing. It is like stepping back in time. The whole place is an escape from mad modern China. We took lots of great photos with the Autumn leaves.

Didn't spend too much time here but it was nice. The view at the top isn't that special. The cable car ride up is old-school but a bit long. Hiking would be a better option.
