We enjoyed walking through the area on the sacred pathway (lined with stone animals and soldiers) on the way to the tomb. The cost to enter is 70 RMB and you can pay 100 RMB to get a discount ticket to see other attractions in the purple mountain area as of March 2021. The gardens are well maintained and there are plenty of signs to point you in the right direction. The ramps to go to the top of the tomb building are a little slippery and uneven so make sure you have good shoes. There are also lots of cats and pollen in this area when we went in March 2021 so you might want to bring your allergy medication just in case. There were also plenty of mosquitoes but they did not bite at all. Lots of places to grab snacks and drinks in the park area - the highlight for us was a Johnsonville sausage trailer! Closest Metro to the main gate was Muxuyuan. To Didi here you can enter "Ming Xiaoling Masoleum Scenic Area - Ticket Office".

I first saw this area from the wall and wanted to see it. It is an original area of housing that has been "updated"in a fairly major way but you can still appreciate the old houses and the beautiful old woodwork. The shops are for serious shoppers with lots of cash but there are also some great eating places and everything is modern enough to make you feel the food will be safe. Hopefully the areas left to be done will be more sensitively updated. Still worth the trip. Combine it with a visit to the Zhonghua Gate which is very close by.

The construction of the tower was completed in 2001, so it is a modern building with traditional Ming style. The top floor of the tower is the best spot in Nanjing for viewing the Yangtze River. Highly recommend.
