Nanjing, known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has been the core of Jianghuai civilization since ancient times. It has a history of thousands of years of building a city and plays an extremely important role in China. The whole urban pattern of Nanjing is very atmospheric and the cultural atmosphere is particularly rich, which is very suitable for traveling and sightseeing. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

Nanjing traffic tips

The traffic in Nanjing is very convenient, and all places you want to go can be reached by subway or bus. It is recommended to travel by subway, which is simple and fast. Nanjing subway has opened mobile phone payment, but it should be noted that only orange gates can be used to brush your mobile phone.

The best itinerary:

Hoonji, Zhonghua Gate City Wall, Confucius Temple and Laomendong, and finally eat in Laomendong. A line of Xuanwu Lake in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum suggests Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the morning and Xuanwu Lake in the afternoon.

Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, a line from Mochou Lake Park, and then go to South Lake to eat. Taicheng, Jiming Temple, Peace Park, Sipailou, take a leisurely walk all the way to Daxing Palace, Presidential Palace and Meiyuan, and finally eat in 1912.

DAY1

Presidential Palace →1912 block → Memorial Hall for Victims of Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders → Laomendong → Confucius Temple → Qinhuai River

On the first day of the trip, I mainly went to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's former residence and Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall to remember the victims, and in the evening, I went to Laomendong, Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River to enjoy the beautiful night scene.

Presidential Palace

The Presidential Palace is one of the must-see attractions in Nanjing. One of the main factors of Nanjing's strong historical atmosphere is that during the Republic of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen once made his capital here. This presidential palace is the place where he once lived when he took office as interim president.

The indoor facilities are well maintained. Although they are not necessarily from the Republic of China, they have restored the scene as much as possible.

Tickets: 4 yuan (tickets are purchased with ID card, and student ID card is half price)

1912 block

It takes about 2 minutes to walk from the presidential palace to 1912 block. There are many places where you can take photos and punch in. For example, Zhang Jiajia passes by your world. There is also a small market that can't be missed. There are many interesting little things in it.

tips: it is also recommended not to come here on Mondays in the 1912 block, because many shops here are closed on Mondays.

Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall

It's really depressing to visit Nanjing. The memorial hall covers a large area, with a dignified atmosphere and serious tourists. This place really should be visited. As a China person, we should see what happened to our compatriots. I couldn't recover my inner pain for a long time after I came out.

Admission: free

Tips: Closed on Mondays (normally open in case of legal holidays)

Laomendong

Laomendong is a very comfortable place to visit and also very beautiful. There are many small shops in the middle of the brick alley with a sense of time. Be sure to visit Laomendong. It's really super tasty.

I would also like to recommend a sesame seed cake shop-Xiaozheng crisp sesame seed cake. It's really true that people are waiting in line all the time, and so will their aunts and uncles. So you don't need to describe it more if it's delicious or not.

Confucius Temple

Confucius Temple is one of the four Confucian temples in China. There are several streets, but now there are more food and snacks. It is not recommended to solve it here at night. For the student party, the cost performance is not very high.

Tickets: Dacheng Hall: 3 yuan; Joint ticket for Dacheng Hall and Wang Xieguju: Qinhuai River in 32 yuan

Qinhuai River comes from Confucius Temple.

Nanjing must come to Qinhuai River at night. The night view is really beautiful. It's a pity that the language description is too bad. It's the background of the postcard ~

If the economy permits, you can experience a night tour of Qinhuai River by boat. A circle takes about 2 minutes. Remember to buy tickets in advance. There will be many people at night. (Ticket price: 6 yuan/person during the day, 8 yuan/person at night)

DAY2

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum → Nanjing Museum → Jiming Temple → Xuanwu Lake → Lion Bridge Food Street

The next day's trip punched in the place where Dr. Sun Yat-sen was buried, went to the museum to experience the history of Nanjing, went to Jiming Temple to pray for peace, and finally went to Lion Bridge to have a big meal.

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum

For us, the mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen, the father of our country, is not only a tourist attraction, but also a history. There are 392 steps in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which are steeper and steeper. There will be staff taking photos for free in the middle, and everyone can get a key chain with their own photos, which is very memorable. The most important thing for the student party to come to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is to rub the tour guide, and it will really know a lot of history.

Admission: Free

Nanjing Museum

Nanjing Museum is very big, with several museums, the most famous of which is the Republic of China Museum, which is super easy to visit. It is very suitable for taking photos of the Republic of China, and many teams come to take art photos. There is also a branch in pioneer bookstore.

Tickets: free of charge with your ID card

Tips: It is open all day on Monday on national holidays; Closed on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day every year

Jiming Temple

Jiming Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing with the most incense. The temple is very quiet, which makes people feel very quiet. At the entrance, each person received three incense sticks. After entering, there will be diagrams to teach you the correct posture of incense. There are many uncles and aunts who tell fortune at the door, so you should be careful. However, it is said that Jiming Temple is super accurate in seeking marriage ~

Tickets: Xuanwu Lake, 1 yuan

Next to Jiming Temple, is Xuanwu Lake, which is very large and very suitable for leisure walking. There is also a lovers' garden with tulips, peach blossoms and other plants.

Lion Bridge Food Street

Lion Bridge Food Street is the most popular food street in Nanjing for locals and tourists. The food street itself is small, and the plaque at the door is antique, with bronze statues reflecting the old folk customs on both sides. There are many benches on the street, which are very intimate and convenient for people to stop and go. Here, food snacks, local products, food stalls, everything.

food not to be missed in Nanjing

the food not to be missed in Nanjing is the big-name stall in Nanjing, which is delicious and affordable, and the money-saving student party can also be consumed. Time-honored food won't trample thunder, it's all delicious.

Recommended dishes: Tianwang Roast Duck Bao (full of meat); Beautiful porridge (good taste); Sweet-scented osmanthus cake (with strong flavor).

Tips: There are many branches, and there is no difference in taste. Remember to number them in advance.

Nanjing's duck blood vermicelli soup is also famous all over the world. Any duck blood vermicelli soup is delicious. You can choose from famous chain stores such as aftertaste and Yadebao. There is also the fried dumpling in Nanjing, which is also very memorable, crisp outside and tender inside. Nanjing's chicken soup buns, soup buns that need to be sucked with straws, and salted ducks that look bland but taste delicious, etc. The food in Nanjing is really fascinating ~
