Nanjing is very rich in scenic spots, both inside and outside the city, and there are many famous scenic spots. Therefore, Nanjing’s popularity has always been high when it comes to choosing tourist destinations. The editor below will tell you Let’s talk specifically about the distribution of scenic spots in Nanjing, which will also help everyone plan their routes when choosing transportation.

The scenic spots in Nanjing are basically on the subway line. The transportation is relatively convenient and can be reached by basic subways. If you choose to drive by yourself, it is easy to get stuck on the road or worry about finding a parking space when you arrive at the scenic spot. So if you are traveling to Nanjing, my suggestion is: give priority to public transportation.

The areas with relatively concentrated attractions in Nanjing include Zhongshan Scenic Area, Nanjing Museum, Changjiang Road Historical and Cultural District, Xuanwu Lake and its surroundings, Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt, and the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders. Let’s take a closer look at the situation in each area: 1. Zhongshan Scenic Area

It’s a bit stressful to spend one day in Zhongshan Scenic Area. You can focus on it according to your own interests and hobbies. You can take the internal bus in the scenic area Transportation

If you purchase a scenic spot combined ticket, it is valid for two days. The combined ticket does not include sightseeing bus and bus loop tickets.

I personally like Zhongshan Scenic Area very much, so I have visited it countless times. I usually bring snacks and water and stay comfortably in the scenic area for most of the day. Based on many tour experiences, we have summarized it into the following classic routes:

1) Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum—Music Stage—Water Pavilion

2) Meiling Palace—Underwater World— —Yongfeng Poetry House

3) Linggu Temple—Zhongshan Sports Park

4) Plum Blossom Valley—Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum—Zhongshan Botanical Garden 2. Nanjing Museum

If your visit time is tight, I usually recommend that Nanbo and Zhongshan Scenic Area be visited on the same day. Because they are very close, part of the Purple Mountain can be seen in Nanbo. 3. Changjiang Road Historical and Cultural District

This place has profound historical accumulation and strong cultural atmosphere. It is centered on the Presidential Palace Scenic Area and is surrounded by many scenic spots:

1. Presidential Palace

The central axis is the focus, and naturally there are many tourists. You can start the tour from Taolin Ergong Temple on the right, and then tour from right to left. In addition, the Presidential Palace is closed on Mondays and real-name visits are required.

2. The Six Dynasties Museum and Jiangning Weaving Mansion

Both have joint tickets with the Presidential Palace. The Six Dynasties Museum is a Pei-style building with strong literary and artistic character; while Jiangning Weaving Mansion highlights the weaving culture. With the Red Mansion Culture, the restored gardens in the center of the city are small, exquisite and unique. At the same Exit 6 of Metro Line 2 and Line 3 leading to Jiangning Zhizaofu, you can visit the Nanjing Wenbo Cultural and Creative Grand View Garden store, which contains many Nanjing Wenbo cultural and creative products and is worth a visit.

3. Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum

The old museum was built in the Republic of China and is now the National Art Exhibition Hall; the new museum is opposite the Six Dynasties Museum, which is the new Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum. If you don’t particularly like art or study art, it is recommended that you just visit the exterior of the building and take photos. In particular, the building of the National Gallery of Art is majestic and shocking.

4. Meiyuan New Village Memorial Hall

Compared to the crowds of people at the Presidential Palace, this place is slightly quieter. Visiting here, you can not only receive patriotic education, but also see many well-preserved buildings of the Republic of China.

5. 1912 Leisure Street

A popular location for taking photos or weddings, a place for lunch and afternoon tea, and a place for carnival during holidays. 4. Xuanwu Lake and its surroundings

1. Xuanwu Lake Park

It embodies the beauty of Nanjing’s “landscape, city and forest”. The park is composed of five continents. Cuizhou in the north and the Shili Changdi section in the east have relatively few tourists, especially the latter, which is particularly suitable for taking pictures of sunrise and sunset. After the opening of Metro Line 4, it has become more convenient to reach various small attractions in Xuanwu Lake.

2. Jiming Temple

Reputed as "the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties", it is small and exquisite.

The vegetarian food inside the temple tastes better, while the vegetarian restaurant outside the temple has a wider view from the window. Jimingsa Road when the cherry blossoms are in bloom makes people look forward to it.

3. Nanjing City Wall (Taicheng Section)

Walking it all on foot requires a certain amount of physical strength and endurance. In fact, after boarding Taicheng, you can enjoy many beautiful scenery by walking to the left and right.

4. Shiziqiao Food Street on Hunan Road

It will be more lively at noon, especially at night. You can get there by taking bus No. 56 after coming out of Xuanwu Lake Park.

5. Southeast University (Sipailou Campus)

It is within walking distance from Jiming Temple, the former site of National Central University, and the filming location for film and television dramas such as In the Name of the People and Youth. . Wutong Avenue is a beautiful scenery in all seasons. The fountain and auditorium are the symbols here. There is a souvenir shop in the school, located next to the communication room next to the south gate. 5. Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenery Belt

The most dazzling place in Nanjing at night. The sound of oars and lights and shadows during the night tour in Qinhuai are unforgettable. There is no need to purchase tickets for most public areas in the scenic area. Other small attractions such as Wang Xie's Former Residence, Li Xiangjun's Former Residence, and Qin Dashu's Former Residence require separate tickets and no joint tickets. Among Zhanyuan, Bailuzhou and Yuyuan (Hu Family Garden), I personally recommend Yuyuan the most, followed by Bailuzhou. Yuyuan Garden is known as the "Jinling Lion Forest". It was just rebuilt last year. It has a small number of people and beautiful scenery. Tickets are 20 yuan per person. Bailuzhou Park is especially suitable for summer. A night tour of the Qinhuai River will pass through the park, and the park itself is free. 6. The Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders and Mochou Lake Park

You can easily access the memorial hall from Yunjin Road Station of Metro Line 2, and Mochou Lake Park is not too far from the memorial hall. You can take the bus 10 minutes drive. Mochou Lake Park has begonias in spring and lotus flowers in summer. There are dragon boat races every Dragon Boat Festival. What is slightly different from other parks is that Mochou Lake Park allows free admission for people over 60 years old instead of the usual free admission for people over 70 years old.

PS: However, there will be small-scale construction in some places in the park, and the tourist area will be somewhat restricted. Please pay attention to safety when playing.
