3. Nanjing Food Recommendations Presidential Palace: one of the landmark buildings in Nanjing.
The presidential palace complex in Nanjing has a history of more than 600 years and is divided into three areas: the central area (central axis), the west area and the east area.
It is best to buy tickets online in advance (especially during holidays).
Stories about the president can be found, so I won’t go into details here.
There is a Nanjing landmark bookstore in the Presidential Palace. Friends who like to check in at bookstores can go and check it out.
Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders; in the mass graves, one of the original massacre sites of the Japanese invaders, there is a special historical exhibition hall to comprehensively display the "Nanjing Massacre" through historical relics, architecture, sculptures, film and television, and other means.
In the historical materials exhibition hall in the flat-topped semi-underground tomb, the historical materials on display include photos of the Japanese massacre, lists of survivors and testimonies, munitions used by the Japanese army in the massacre, diaries and confessions of crimes committed by Japanese officers and soldiers, etc.
There are also several movie halls in the exhibition hall, which are used to play documentaries and movies about the Nanjing Massacre and the Anti-Japanese War.
In the coffin-shaped exhibition room, you can see some of the remains of the victims excavated from the "mass graves", which are irrefutable evidence of the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in the Nanjing Massacre.
When entering the exhibition hall, there is a very obvious "Silence" sign. People who come in no longer know how to speak and silently walk towards the exhibition hall through the main road.
The library contains some of the victims' files, which are stacked up to two stories high.
Additionally, some photos of the victims were obscured by a high wall.
Confucius Temple-Qinhuai Scenic Belt: Confucius Temple-Qinhuai Scenic Belt is a national AAAAA-level tourist area integrating natural scenery, garden landscapes, temples, schools, market houses and local people.
The ancient Confucius Temple complex in the scenic area is centered on the Qinhuai River within ten miles as the axis, starting from Dongshuiguan Park in the east and ending at Xishuiguan Park (today's Shuiximen) in the west.
There is light in the Qinhuai River at night, it’s beautiful!
Confucius Temple, I think there is nothing to see.
If you want to go to Qinhuai River at night, it is recommended to buy a ticket to Jiangnan Gongyuan.
It is not recommended to take a cruise.
You have to queue for almost 2 hours before you can see the scenery on the water, and there are mosquitoes!
Nanjing Museum: Nanjing Museum is one of the three major museums in China. The earliest Mu Xuanwu Lake is the largest royal garden lake in China. It is also known as the "Three Famous Lakes in the South of the Yangtze River" together with Jiaxing South Lake and Hangzhou West Lake.
Including five oases including Yingzhou, Liangzhou and Cuizhou, it is the largest cultural and leisure park in Nanjing.
It is suitable to visit Sakura Island in spring, where you can see cherry blossoms hanging on the branches.
There is also a lotus garden, which is a good place to see lotus flowers and take photos.
Zhou Ling’s Tailing flower stand overlooks the scenery of Zhongshan Mountain.
Zhouliang has landscapes such as bonsai gardens and azalea gardens.
