Nanjing is the ancient capital of six dynasties and has a very long history and cultural imprint. It is the place where the sages of the Chinese nation gathered. Nanjing’s historical buildings are very rich and relatively well preserved. There are also many Nanjing snacks and delicacies waiting for you. One-day tour of Nanjing
I am still very happy. Let me share with you the complete guide for self-guided tours in Nanjing in 2017.
Departing from Hangzhou at 7:46 a.m. on the 28th and arriving in Nanjing at about 9:30, I took my mother directly to the Presidential Palace. You can take Metro Line 3 directly from Nanjing South Railway Station to Daxinggong Station. Tickets for the Presidential Palace are available
Book directly on Ctrip. Remember to enter the park one day in advance, or before 8 o'clock on the day, with your ID card.
The most impressive thing about the Presidential Palace is that the courtyard is so big that road warriors need to be careful.
After coming out of the Presidential Palace, go right and you will see 1912, a creative district. There are many restaurants, markets, and mostly European-style buildings. It is suitable for girls to take pictures. If you are interested, you can go there.
The editor had lunch at the restaurant "Passing Through Your World". The overall rating was 3 stars. There were not many dishes. The names of the dishes were literary but the taste was average. It truly fulfilled the saying "Eating is not food but literature and art". The editor's opinion
Mom has a special liking for "Lemon Pan-fried Longli Fish".
You can take a taxi or ride a bicycle directly from 1912 to Pioneer Bookstore (Wutaishan Main Store). Taking a taxi only costs 7 yuan. As one of the "Twelve Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World", the editor specially went to appreciate it. As the introduction said, it is located in the underground garage.
It was renovated, so the location is slightly hidden. There are many books and postcards inside. Postcards cost 3 yuan each and can be mailed or hung in the store as a souvenir.
The bookstore also has small creative fairs, symposiums, and book bars. If you are lucky, you may encounter a writer's forum.
Because I like sports, I rode a small yellow bicycle from Pioneer Bookstore (Wutaishan Main Store) to Confucius Temple, which takes 28 minutes. I will pass by St. Paul's Church on the way. Interested friends can visit it.
Confucius Temple is similar to the Shanghai City God Temple, with mostly snacks and the famous Nanjing Pai Dong. The editor made a reservation in advance through Dianping.com and reserved a table for 2 people at 5pm. The system showed that it would take 113 minutes to wait for 62 seats.
The editor and the editor's mother made full use of this time to visit the Confucius Temple, and waited for the mobile phone to prompt that there were 10 tables left before going to the restaurant.
If you want to eat at Nanjing’s famous food stalls, you must remember to make a reservation at Dianping in advance. Of course, you can also make a reservation at around 5 o’clock like the editor, and visit Confucius Temple during this waiting time.
As a side note, the editor waited for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
There are many dishes at cheap prices, and there will also be people who specialize in playing the erhu to perform raps. It is indeed a good place.
Recommended Meiling porridge and salted duck! The editor is quick to talk and I can’t keep up with the photo taking speed, so please forgive me.
After visiting the Confucius Temple, the next step is the Qinhuai River. The Qinhuai River is suitable for watching the night view. You can walk around by yourself, or you can buy a boat ticket. Remember to book with Ctrip in advance. People who buy tickets on-site will queue up in long lines during peak hours, so take your time.
It's a pity to waste time waiting in line.
If you are taking a boat, the boat operator will wait until the number of passengers reaches the designated number before launching the boat, and then take you on a tour of the Qinhuai River, which takes 40-50 minutes.
The editor basically books B&Bs on airbnb when traveling, and this time is no exception. You can use this as a reference, or you can choose your own hotel.
On the 29th, the editor came to Zhongshan Scenic Area. Metro Line 2 goes directly to Shoufeng Station. Buy a one-way ticket for 10 yuan and arrive at the bottom station, Zhongshan Lingnan Station. You can reach Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum by walking directly. The terrain of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is higher, so
It is best to bring some snacks or candies to replenish your energy. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free and there are not many things to visit. It takes a quick time to finish. There is a road directly leading to the music stage after Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Buy a combined ticket (100 yuan)
) can go directly to the bandstand.
The editor has no interest in the music stage, so I walked directly to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and walked for about 30 minutes to the entrance of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Zixia Lake. There is a ticket office at the door. A ticket is 70 yuan. I have to remind everyone here that the scenery of Zhongshan Mountain is
Tickets for the district must be booked online on Ctrip one day in advance so that they are cheaper. The ticket price for same-day booking is the same as that for on-site tickets.
So everyone understands! Remember to make it one day in advance.
Due to time constraints, I did not visit the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty. There is a bus stop near the entrance. You can take the bus directly back to the subway Shoufeng Station. Then we went to Laomendong. Laomendong Pedestrian Street is a historical district with many ancient buildings.
, the business atmosphere is very strong, basically just walk around, eat and drink.
Any corner, as long as you have a camera, can be frozen into a painting.
The last one is a photo taken by the editor. Thanks to the editor’s mother for her photography skills, it is full of artistic style.
After shopping at Laodongmen, we went directly to South Railway Station to prepare for our return to Hangzhou.
