If you leave Shanghai on Saturday morning, take the EMU for 2 hours to Nanjing Station. There are several stations in Nanjing. You can take the subway directly without leaving the station. Sit at Xuanwu Lake Station, next to Hunan Road, a famous pedestrian food shopping street in China. You can have a meal there and then go to Xuanwu Lake. One afternoon or even half an afternoon is enough. Take the subway to Sanshan Street or Zhangfuyuan, and take a taxi to Confucius Temple. Confucius Temple is mainly late at night, and it is a place where you can eat and visit. You can stay near the Confucius Temple, where there are many hotels. You can also try Qinhuai snacks the next morning.
You can go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the morning and the Presidential Palace in the afternoon the next day. The presidential palace is in the center of Nanjing, and the traffic is very convenient. If you have enough time, you can stop by ming tomb in the morning. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and ming tomb are both on the Purple Mountain, so they can play together.
Of course, you can also go to the Presidential Palace on the first day without going to Xuanwu Lake. Then go to Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery the next morning. Although it is actually called the Martyrs Cemetery, it is very atmospheric and beautiful. And it's close to the Confucius Temple where you live. I went to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum after I went there.
The Presidential Palace is in the center of Nanjing, with convenient transportation. Next to it is a bar and dining area called 1912, which is a bit like shanghai new world. You can play there in the evening or go back to the Confucius Temple, where there is a water tour city, which is similar to this type, integrating food, entertainment and shopping. If you want a place for leisure shopping, you can consider walking around these two places when you have time. Anyway, they are very convenient.
For souvenirs, the brocade in Nanjing is more distinctive. You can't help your colleagues carry two pieces of rain flower stones, can you? Confucius Temple should have all these things ... but a better way is to buy them on Taobao after returning to Shanghai ... It's too much trouble to carry them back to Shanghai from Nanjing ...
I'm from Nanjing who studied in Shanghai, so I know that Nanjing and Shanghai are very different, so I'll give you some suggestions:
1. Nanjing is small, so the traffic between scenic spots will be very convenient. You can even use a taxi, which is not too expensive. Generally, a dozen dollars will be enough. (Compared with Shanghai)
2. The buses in Nanjing are all sold without tickets, so they can only get on the bus at the front door and coin their own money. And the whole journey is one or two (two air-conditioned cars). I emphasize this point because I am in Shanghai now, and tickets are sold in Shanghai, and the prices are different at different stations. If you are in Nanjing, if you are willing to take the bus, prepare more small change.
3. The subway ticket in Nanjing is very small, as big as a dollar coin, so be careful not to lose it ...
4. Accommodation must be booked in advance. It is recommended to stay in Confucius Temple, and there are many places to stay around Confucius Temple. But be sure to book in advance. My classmate Tomb-Sweeping Day wants to come to Nanjing, but there is something wrong with the accommodation ... < P > Have a good time.
