Beijing, April 27 (Youth.cn) - On April 26, 2025, in the early morning hours, the area surrounding the Liuhui Pavilion at Nanjing’s Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum appeared blanketed in verdant foliage, its ancient architecture harmoniously framed by thriving vegetation. Towering trees and vibrant undergrowth created a scene bursting with life, their shadows dancing across time-worn stone pathways.

The pavilion, nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, epitomizes the enduring synergy between imperial tomb design and natural landscapes. As dawn light filtered through the canopy, photographers and visitors alike marveled at this living testament to Ming Dynasty aesthetics, where history and ecology intertwine seamlessly. Photo/CFP
