Last year, my parents and I went on a seven-day tour of Nanjing in a group tour, and the whole trip was very rewarding.
Nanjing, a historic city with a 6,000-year-old culture, has left behind rich historical and cultural heritage.
The "Taoye Ferry" of the Jin Dynasty, the "Stone City" of Soochow, the "City Wall" of the Ming Dynasty, the Qinhuai River with the sound of oars and lights flowing slowly, the "Tianwang Mansion" of the Taiping Army, and the "building complex" of the Republic of China,
All are permeated with profound cultural heritage.
Based on my personal experience, my top ten recommended tourist attractions in Nanjing are: Qixia Mountain, Xuanwu Lake, Presidential Palace, Ming Xiaoling Tomb, Ancient Jiming Temple, Nanjing Museum, Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt, Zhongshan Scenic Area, Yangtze River
Bridge and Yuhuatai Scenic Area.
1: Qixia Mountain was once called the "No. 1 Mingxiu Mountain in Jinling" by Emperor Qianlong. "Qixia Danfeng" ranked among the New Forty Scenic Spots in Jinling and is one of the four major red leaf viewing scenic spots in my country.
Qixia Mountain has a total area of ??860 hectares. The main peak, Fengxiang Peak, is 286 meters above sea level. Every late autumn, the mountain is red, just like the sunset, which is spectacular. The mountain is covered with historical sites and there are more than 80 ruins, including the "four major Buddhist sites".
Qixia Ancient Temple, one of the "Jungles", is a scenic spot that integrates religious culture, imperial culture, green culture, celebrity folk culture, geological culture, stone carving culture, and tea culture.
2:? Xuanwu Lake is the largest comprehensive cultural and entertainment rest park in Nanjing. There are many scenic spots and historic sites in the park: the towering Ming City Wall, the beautiful Jiuhua Mountain, and the antique Jiming Temple surround it;
, water parks are dotted among them.
Famous historical figures such as Li Bai, Wang Anshi, Guo Pu, Guo Moruo, etc. all visited this place and left relics and poems.
The shore of Xuanwu Lake is rhombus-shaped, with 5 islands inside, dividing the lake into four large areas. There are bridges or embankments connecting the islands. Lotus flowers are planted in the lake. In summer and autumn, the lake is full of fragrance and the scenery is charming.
3:? The Nanjing Presidential Palace is the largest and best-preserved building complex among the modern architectural remains in China. It is also one of the main representatives of Nanjing's Republic of China architecture. It has now become China's largest modern history museum.
The scenic area preserves relatively complete modern architectural remains with different styles and famous monuments scattered among them. It is a classical garden with Jiangnan characteristics.
During the more than 100 years from the Opium War in 1840 to the occupation of Nanjing by the People's Liberation Army in 1949, Nanjing has repeatedly become the center of China's political and military affairs, the source of major events, and an important site in modern Chinese history.
4:? Ming Xiaoling Tomb 5: Nanjing Ancient Jiming Temple has been known as "the first temple in the Southern Dynasties" and the first of the "four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties" since ancient times. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing.
The temple is now a place for nuns to study and practice. It has an elegant environment and a solemn temple. The "Cock Crowing Spring Dawn" and "Cock Crowing Evening Bell" are among the ten sceneries of Xuanwu and the forty-eight sceneries of Jinling.
In particular, the Medicine Buddha Pagoda and the cherry blossoms in Jiming Temple are the objects of discussion and praise by everyone.
In the classic TV series "The Legend of White Snake", the scene where Bai Suzhen was pressed into the Leifeng Pagoda was filmed here, so many film and television lovers come here to look for the scene.
Nowadays, Jiming Temple, which integrates mountains, water, forests and temples, has become the most famous cultural attraction in Nanjing.

6: Nanjing Museum, the earliest museum established in China, has now become a large-scale comprehensive history and art museum, which can be called the second largest museum in China.
The museum is a palace-style building imitating the Liao Dynasty. It was gradually completed in accordance with the initiative of the famous educator Mr. Cai Yuanpei. It has majestic yellow tiles and red columns.
Various stone carvings and cultural relics are dotted in the courtyard, and the cultural landscape and natural landscape complement each other.
The collection dates back to the Paleolithic Age and reaches the present day, with more than 400,000 items, including 10 national treasure-level cultural relics including jade ornaments, Ying Yuan, golden beasts, Guangling King's Seal, bronze cow lamp, and celadon mythical beast statue.
For the most.
With the reopening of the new museum in November 2013, the Nanjing Museum, which has been transformed for nearly five years, has been renovated and will be more perfectly presented to the audience with unforgettable highlights.
7: The Qinhuai scenery of Confucius Temple includes the largest and best-preserved urn city in the world - the Zhonghuamen urn city; there is the Zhanyuan Garden which was known as the "No. 1 Garden in the Southern Capital" in the Ming Dynasty and the "No. 1 Garden in Jinling" today; and there is the only Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in my country. There is a professional history museum; there are famous attractions such as Jiangnan Gongyuan, the largest imperial examination room in ancient China.
