Nanjing, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is still very famous in China. As an ancient city with a long history, Nanjing has too many stories, and it was slaughtered by Japanese invaders in modern times. Besides, Nanjing has a lot of delicious food and beautiful women. Here is the best route for a three-day trip to Nanjing.

May 9th, a dull day, has no special reason. I just want to go out for a walk.

The reason for choosing Nanjing is proximity and cheap tickets.

I didn't need to make any preparations from Wuhan in the past. In the off-season, I only bought the tickets the night before, packed my things temporarily, slept, and set off in such a small bag the next day.

I passed Hefei Station on the way. Can I take a walk to Hefei next time?

(the day of arrival)

Before going to Nanjing, I made a little introduction. Generally, tourists either live in the Confucius Temple, which is the scenic area of Qinhuai River, or in Xinjiekou, which is the most prosperous center of Nanjing with dense business districts. I booked the Confucius Temple International Youth Travel Service online in advance, just beside the Qinhuai River. Looking down from the Starry Sky Bar on the fourth floor, I can see the Qinhuai River and the surrounding houses with distinctive features, which are beautiful at night.

It's already afternoon when I arrived in Nanjing. I packed my bags in the Youth Travel Service and started to visit the Confucius Temple. Many special foods are also here, such as the Red Bean Lantern Festival in Lianhu Tangyuan Store. Yuanxiao is soft and waxy, and red beans are big red beans, not small beans that are usually eaten, but sweet. Eat with the duck oil sesame seed cake next to Qifangge, which is a perfect match. Desserts such as Red Bean Lantern Festival are characteristic of Nanjing and are worth a try.

Many people recommend the pastry group in Lianhu Pastry Group Store, but now it's not only sold, and I can't eat too much by myself, so I have to give it up. This is the disadvantage of traveling alone. Many people can't eat many kinds of food, and they can all taste it. Of course, a person's benefits are many, and he can go wherever he wants. When he is tired, he will be fine in the hotel for half a day, and he will be more free and casual.

The night view of Qinhuai River is beautiful. After eating and drinking enough, listening to music and watching the night scene in the starry bar on the fourth floor of the Youth Travel Service, I have an unspeakable feeling in my heart. I don't have to worry about how to answer others' words, enjoy my own freedom and let my thoughts fly.

Qingba, the songs of female singers are melodious and casual, floating on this long river ...

(the first day)

I had a sumptuous breakfast on the fourth floor with the vouchers of the Youth Travel Service. I don't know what the steamed stuffed bun was, but it was some sweet vegetables. The yellow cake is said to be a new product from my aunt, but it's hard to chew. Auntie, you made a mistake with this new product. Laugh.

The morning sun shines on the white plate, which really feels like a holiday.

Youth Travel Breakfast

After dinner, go to Zhongshan Scenic Area, a must-see place in Nanjing. There are a series of scenic spots such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, ming tomb, Meiling Palace, Meihua Mountain and Purple Mountain Observatory. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free, so I saw many uncles and aunts led by tour guides walking away talking and laughing, and kept asking the tour guides all kinds of questions. Many elderly uncles and aunts came here to miss Dr. Sun Yat-sen and recall the war years they lived in.

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is very high, and it needs to climb a steep staircase. It is said that the steeper the stairs get, the more difficult the revolution is. The whole design of the mausoleum is a clock to serve as a warning. From the bottom up, you can't see the steps, only a vertical surface, and from the top down, you can only see a platform. If I hadn't made a strategy in advance, I would never have seen these small places. The ingenuity of the designer's design is in the details.

In contrast, ming tomb is much inferior in terms of ornamental value. When you reach the end of the Mausoleum, you find it is blocked, and you can't see the tomb behind it. When I saw the Ming Tomb in Zhongxiang, it was completely open. After the end, the tomb of Emperor Jiajing's father and mother was buried in front of my eyes. The Red Gate and Fangcheng are also well preserved. Ming tomb thought it was because there were so many tourists that more areas had to be closed.

The Shinto of Xiaoling Mausoleum is very long, and the statues of civilian military officers and various beasts lined up one after another have different meanings. They have stood for hundreds of years, silently carrying out their mission and guarding the emperor's mausoleum.

start eating mode in the afternoon.

There are several classic small shops in Shuangtang. Although they have opened branches in other places, the ones here still have the earliest flavor.

The fried fish noodles in Laozhanyuan Noodle Restaurant are recommended by many people. When we arrived, it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people. The aunts chatted in twos and threes, and some locals chatted here. There was an oversized smoked fish on the surface, and my aunt also specially picked out the fish belly for me. Fish is fried and sweet, which is my favorite taste.

Fried Fish Noodles

Just across the street from the noodle restaurant is Xujia Duck Shop. Many locals are waiting in line, and its roast duck is the most famous. What people buy most is half a roast duck or the front part of a small duck. Roast duck is mainly seasoned with sauce. The duck is cut and put in a box, and the sauce is poured on it when eating. The juice is also sweet, which is a taste I have never eaten before. Ducks are fresh, crispy, juicy and delicious. Delicious is delicious, but I am alone, and I am still a little tired of eating too much.

The porridge lotus root of Lan Laoda is made by cutting a piece of glutinous rice lotus root and filling it with sweet porridge, which is slightly sweet.

(the next day)

I want to eat hot shortbread when I get up early in the morning.

However, Qifangge didn't open until nine o'clock, so he moved to Xiaozheng Crispy Sesame Cake nearby. I was very happy to eat the freshly baked sesame seeds. The black sesame seeds are sweet fillings, and the fillings have not solidified yet. The crisp cakes are crisper and desquamate than the cold ones, but the salty ones are not so amazing. I took it in my hand for breakfast, so I haven't had time to take pictures yet.

The main goal today is the Nanjing Museum. Nanjing, as an ancient capital and the capital of the 12th Dynasty, naturally has a lot of history that we need to understand carefully. Nanjing Museum is very large, divided into history museum, Republic of China museum, special museum, non-legacy museum, art museum, digital museum and many other exhibition halls.

Nanjing Museum

Nanjing Museum didn't open until nine o'clock. I arrived early and waited for half an hour to enter, so I was lucky to be the first person to enter Nanjing Museum that day and took a picture of the gate similar to the official photo.

The History Museum is the exhibition hall I am most interested in. I rented an interpreter and watched one cultural relic after another. I wandered around this exhibition hall until one o'clock in the afternoon and forgot to take pictures. The Republic of China Pavilion was decorated as a street during the Republic of China, with the sky as the top setting. Walking inside is like returning to the Republic of China. It is very bringing and suitable for taking pictures.

Republic of China Pavilion

Other pavilions, such as the Digital Pavilion, are projected on the curtain or other modern technologies to show some small films of that year. There are also exhibition halls where more precious cultural relics are placed. The Clocks and Watches Museum shows many distinctive clocks and watches in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are similar to those in "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City". Flowers and birds are used as decorations, with different shapes, which are beautiful and generous.

I left the museum, endured hunger and looked forward to going to the legendary ancient Jiming Temple, but the truth disappointed me. The temple is very small. It climbed into the main hall in less than ten minutes. The tallest tower is closed and tourists are not allowed to enter. It will come out in about twenty minutes. Think about it, maybe as a tourist, you shouldn't come to a temple that should be pious.

Finally, I'm going to visit Nanjing University. On the way, I met a fake master Bao and bought three kinds of meat floss Beckham. I met another Yiming fresh milk bar that blossomed everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, bought a cup of yogurt, rested my feet and filled my stomach.

Pork floss with seaweed is crispy, it should be baked, and it has a strong seaweed flavor. It is delicious with soft cake and salad dressing.

Yiming fresh milk bar is not available in Wuhan, and it is a characteristic of Nanjing. It tastes not much different from ordinary yogurt, but the clerk stressed that it must be finished within three hours, otherwise it will go bad, which shows that the milk is fresh and healthy without adding.

the words written on the lid of yogurt are very interesting.

The Gulou Campus of Nanjing University has a quaint temperament. There are tall buttonwood trees everywhere in Nanjing, and the green leaves of Parthenocissus tricuspidata extend to the wall of the building, and there are students playing basketball next to it. The youthful vitality is integrated with the ancient atmosphere of the campus itself, which is not abrupt at all and has a unique feeling.

(the third day)

Considering the time it will take to get back to school, I bought a ticket from Nanjing at three o'clock this afternoon the night before. Therefore, we should grasp the time when visiting Nanjing today. But there is one place that you must visit when you come to Nanjing-Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall.

Maybe God wants me to experience the bleak and serious atmosphere of the Holocaust. It began to rain the night before, and it was still misty when I arrived at the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. Everyone lined up, holding umbrellas, and entered in turn, as if to pay tribute to them.

People with umbrellas

The three statues at the entrance are so lifelike that people can't bear to watch them. Looking at the statue like this will give birth to a feeling of pain in my heart.

they seem to be crying under the rain.

There are skeletons of people who died in the Holocaust in the museum, and there is a series of short films and introductions dedicated to Nazi fascism and China's anti-Japanese war, which are worth watching carefully and thinking deeply.

it's already sunny, what a strange weather. It was a magical experience for me.

Go back to Confucius Temple. I ate dried sesame oil and red bean dumplings in Qifangge. Dried silk is not as thin as expected, and Yuanxiao is not as soft as Lianhu pastry shop, but it tastes good on the whole. The last meal in Nanjing was not unkind to myself.

I bought some souvenirs for my friends in suguo supermarket, so I ended my three-day trip to Nanjing and went home.

The most impressive thing about Nanjing is that there are buttonwood trees with two branches and flocs flying all over the sky everywhere. I heard that this floc fell from the buttonwood tree.

There are dialects that Nanjing can never learn.

you can never appreciate a city's culture without going to it. Although I have only been there for three days, I have breathed its air, eaten its food and talked to its people. I am silently experiencing the charm of Nanjing City. Finally, I came back with a hint of Nanjing.

this is the charm of walking, and all the paths you have taken will be in your breath.
