From the perspective of tourism, Nanjing is divided into ten major tourist attractions, namely Zhongshan Scenic Area, Qinhuai Scenic Belt Scenic Area, Shicheng Scenic Area, Yangtze River Scenic Area, Qixia Scenic Area, and Nanjiao Scenic Area. Area, Tangshan Scenic Area, Lianghu Scenic Area, Pearl Spring Laoshan Scenic Area and Jinniu Lake Scenic Area. But as an individual, there is no need to travel by scenic spots. You won’t be able to run in that way, because most of these scenic spots are interspersed with each other. I don’t know how many days you want to spend in Nanjing. Just count it as three days. It can probably be like this Arrangement:

On the first day, after arriving in Nanjing, we stayed near the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty. There are hotels of various grades there, so you can choose from them, with prices ranging from less than 100 to more than 300. Moreover, the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty is connected to buses and subways, and is convenient to the train station and airport. After settling in, we mainly visited Zhongshan Scenic Area. Zhongshan, also known as Purple Mountain, is located in the eastern suburbs. It is the highest peak of the Ningzhen Mountains. The mountain is majestic and has the reputation of "Zhongshan Dragon Pan". Zhongshan Scenic Area covers an area of ??31 square kilometers and is the most famous tourist attraction in Nanjing. The whole area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with shining cities and forests, dotted with towers and pavilions, and diverse gardens. It is a must-visit place for Chinese and foreign tourists coming to Ningxia.

You walk to Zhongshan East Road, take the No. 2 bus to Linggu Temple, visit Linggu Temple and the National Revolutionary Army Cemetery. Don’t turn back after that, take the path to the west of Wuliang Hall towards Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Along the way, we visit the Sutra Library, Sun Yat-sen Academy, Liuhui Pavilion, Guanghua Pavilion, Music Stage, etc., and finally visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Have a light meal at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum at noon, then take a battery car to the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, tour the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, Meihua Mountain, Meiling Palace, etc., and then take bus No. 2, No. 3 or No. 9 back to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

The next day, we walked to Zhongshan East Road, took bus No. 1 to Xuanwu Lake Park, and visited Xuanwu Lake, Taicheng, and Jiming Temple. At noon, we had dinner at Jiming Temple. Although it was vegetarian, it was also very delicious. That's where Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote his good articles. Then take bus No. 304 to the foot of Confucius Temple and visit the Qinhuai Scenic Area.

Confucius Temple and Qinhuai Scenic Area are national 4A-level tourist attractions. They are located in the south of Nanjing and are one of the top 40 tourist attractions in China. Its scope starts from Dongshuiguan, Huaiqing Bridge, Qinhuai Water Pavilion in the east, crosses Wende Bridge, extends to Zhonghua Gate, and reaches the inner Qinhuai River area of ????Xishui Pass, including streets and lanes, residential buildings, nearby historical sites and scenery on both sides of the river. point. That area has been the most prosperous place in Nanjing since ancient times. The main attractions are: Confucius Temple, Jiangnan Gongyuan Historical Exhibition Hall, Taoyedu and Wu Jingzi’s former residence, Zhanyuan, Li Xiangjun’s former residence, Wang Xie’s ancient residence, and Bailuzhou Park. These places are not far from each other, just take a look, and the views are better at night than during the day. You can take a night cruise on a cruise ship. The river view at night is good, much better than during the day. Moreover, the snacks in Confucius Temple are relatively famous, so you can try them out. Take a taxi back to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in the evening. The bus is inconvenient, and the No. 2 bus may have stopped.

On the third day, we mainly visited Shicheng Scenic Area. The Shicheng Scenic Area is mainly based on the cultural landscape in the city, and there are also lakes and mountains. First walk to Zhongshan Gate and visit Nanjing Museum. This is the second largest museum in China. It was formerly the Central Museum during the National Government. Then take bus No. 9 to the Daxing Palace and visit the Presidential Palace and Meiyuan New Village Memorial Hall. The Presidential Palace is a place with a long history, dating back to the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Prince Xu's Palace, the residence of Zhu Gaoxu; in the Qing Dynasty, it was the Governor's Palace of Liangjiang, where Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, etc. all stayed; during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was the Palace of the Heavenly Prince; in the Republic of China, it was the Presidential Palace, so it is very interesting to see. After that, take the No. 80 bus to Chaotian Palace to have a look, or go to the nearby Ganxi Former Residence. Then take the No. 80 bus to the Houzai Gate and walk back to the Ming Forbidden City. Of course, you don’t have to go back to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty on the last day.

There are many snacks in Nanjing, which can usually be found in Confucius Temple. You can try them when you visit Confucius Temple the next day. Here are the top ten specialty snacks in Nanjing

1. Xiao Long Bao: When eating Xiao Long Bao, you should pay attention to the soup. When making it, the broth should be condensed into a transparent solid colloid. Chop it up and mix it in. Once the steam is heated, it will turn into soup. The skin of a good xiaolongbao is as thin as paper, and it doesn't break when you carry it around. Carefully take it out, put it in a vinegar bowl, aim it at the top and suck it, and the delicious soup will go into your stomach. But don't rush, otherwise it will burn, and then enjoy the contents slowly.

2. Boiled dried silk: Nanjing dried silk is a unique production method different from other cities. Those tender but not old, dry but not broken shreds are all specially made by the tofu shop. Cut the tofu into thin strips, cook it with various soups, and mix it with fragrant sesame oil and high-quality soy sauce. It has a refreshing taste and a long aftertaste.

3. Beef pot stickers: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, juicy filling. Salty yet sweet is the biggest feature of Nanjing beef pot stickers. Because of its juiciness, regular customers use this pot sticker for soup dumplings. If the first bite is too big, the juice will leak; if you bite too hard, the juice will spurt out; if the bite is too small, it won't hide it!

4. Duck blood vermicelli: In Nanjing, there are many stalls selling duck blood soup. The shrewd stall owner cooked the duck blood in advance, cut it into small pieces and put it in a pot. When he saw tourists coming, he took out the duck blood and put it in a white porcelain bowl, then poured a ladle of boiling soup and poured a few drops on it. Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with a pinch of dried shrimps or duck casings, etc., and add a pinch of coriander. Customers who like spicy food can also add some chili oil or pepper for a fragrant, spicy and delicious taste.

5. Ruyihui Lugan: Nanjing has a long history, and Nanjing people are also willing to associate various snacks with history. Take this ordinary Hui Lu Gan as an example, it is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Jinling, he got tired of eating the delicacies in the palace. One day, he left the palace incognito and saw fried tofu fruits in a snack shop on the street. The fragrance was full and the color was golden, which greatly increased his appetite. He took out a piece of silver and asked the shopkeeper to process a bowl of tofu fruit for him to enjoy. Seeing that he was a wealthy gentleman, the shopkeeper immediately put the tofu fruit into a chicken soup pot, cooked it with a small amount of soybean sprouts and seasonings, and cooked it until the tofu fruit was soft and tasty. Zhu Yuanzhang praised it repeatedly after eating it. From then on, fried tofu became popular and has been passed down to this day. Because Nanjing people often add bean sprouts when cooking, and its shape is very similar to the jade Ruyi in ancient jade, it is called Ruyi Hui Lugan.

6. Assorted Tofu Lao: Tofu Lao is also called tofu nao, tofu pudding, and in Nanjing dialect, it is also called "not old". This snack is available all over the country, but Nanjing’s Tofu Lao is different from those in other places, except that it is as white as jade. In addition to being fragrant and refreshing, Nanjing's tofu also pays attention to one condiment, supplemented by more than ten kinds of condiments such as shrimp, mustard, fungus, chopped green onion, spicy oil, sesame oil, etc. It is not only beautiful in color, but also mellow, rich, fragrant, fresh and salty in taste. Appropriately light, moderately spicy, and flavorful. There is a saying that Nanjing people eat snacks, and this has also been verified by the simple snack Dou Fu Lao: It is said that young people eat Dou Fu Lao to strengthen their brains, and the elderly eat it to prolong their lives. Just for fun, the store also added assorted vegetables to the dish. What does that mean? The future is bright, haha.

7. Zhuangyuan Bean/Spice Egg: Zhuangyuan Bean is one of the specialty snacks of Nanjing Confucius Temple. It is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a poor scholar named Qin lived in an alley next to the Jinsha Well in the south of the city. Because of his poor family, he studied until late at night every day. His mother cooked the soybeans with red yeast rice and red dates, and packed the beans in a small bowl. Add a red date to him and encourage him to study hard and win the top prize in the future. Later, Master Qin won the first prize, and the matter spread, and the first prize bean became famous. . Some vendors took advantage of this mentality of students and sold Zhuangyuan beans near the Gongyuan of the Father and Son Temple. They said, "If you eat Zhuangyuan beans, you will win the Zhuangyuanlang". Zhuangyuan beans are actually five-spice beans. Like five-spice eggs, five-spice beans are fragrant in the mouth, salty, sweet, and tender. They are interesting to taste carefully. Due to the delicious cooking, they are generally red sandalwood in color, elastic in the mouth, and rich in aroma. I can't stop eating it.

During festivals or when guests come to your home on weekdays, it seems to have become a custom to go to the street to chop a bowl of salted duck. Nanjing secular etiquette. It was because of eating too much duck that Nanjing people turned waste into treasure by making duck heads into a delicious snack. Whether the duck head is braised in braised sauce, soaked in sauce, or brine, it is a mouth-watering delicacy. Buy three or five duck heads, and a bottle of beer, taste it carefully and nibble it slowly, it’s so comfortable...
