Aerial shots of Nanjing in autumn

It's been a long time since I last visited Nanjing; I can't even remember when that was. I finally had time to come after finishing my project proposal, which was a relief. It was my first time visiting Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Most of the time was spent traveling, so I didn’t get to fully explore. The main goal was to shoot the big necklace. Shot on November 30th, the takeoff point was at Liuhui Pavilion. You can basically capture all the scenic spots from there, but the signal is really poor, especially at the Music Stage. The signal starts dropping as soon as you get there, and 4G can’t fix it. It might be because there were several drones flying at Liuhui Pavilion at the same time. Meiling Palace is less than 2 kilometers in a straight line from here, so it’s possible to fly there, but the connection was lost several times along the way. It was tough. For the Sun Yat-sen Botanical Garden, you can just take off nearby or from the North Garden. At that time, there was also an aunt from Beijing flying her drone at Liuhui Pavilion. We chatted for a bit, and she was using a Mavic 4 Pro, which made me envious to tears.
