This is a city with profound historical background, and it is also a city where modernity and history are intertwined. Walking in the streets and alleys of Nanjing and strolling among various scenic spots always makes people feel that they have crossed the streets of dynasties thousands of years ago.
Youpin will show you around China. This time, let's explore the city together.
Mingling mausoleum
At the first stop, Youpin came to the Ming Tombs with the most beautiful 600-meter Shinto.
Located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, take Metro Line 2 to the Alfalfa Garden 1 exit, and you can get there. Tickets for 70 yuan are available.
Spring and autumn are the most beautiful seasons here. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn. All kinds of exquisite stone carvings can be seen everywhere on the roadside: lions, camels, elephants and unicorns. The mottled appearance is full of historical precipitation, and the red wall of Wu Wen Fangmen is particularly beautiful.
There are also museums and Sifang City, which are also worth visiting.
Meiling palace
Not far from the Ming Tombs, Meiling Palace is about 1.2km, so you can consider taking the shuttle bus in the park.
Known as the first villa in the Far East, it has three floors. Retro roofs and brick walls are particularly spectacular. There are more than 1000 phoenixes engraved on the glazed tile, which is particularly shocking even if it is put down.
On the second floor, the reception room and living room are in the west, and the bedroom is in the east. There are many items and historical materials on display, and tickets for 30 yuan are available.
Nanjing museum
In the afternoon, Youpin came to Nanjing Museum.
Take Metro Line 2 from Meiling Palace and get off at minggugong station. There are six museums in Nanjing Museum, and the recommended routes are: history, special exhibitions, people, Republic of China, art and intangible cultural heritage.
The appearance of the museum is particularly shocking. The tall roofs and antique columns are full of a sense of the times. The museum is very big. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to visit all six exhibition halls. Closed at noon on Monday 12, and closed at other afternoons 17, free of charge.
The treasures of the museum's town hall include the bronze bull lamp in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the blue-and-white picture of Jingtai ladies in the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of bronzes, porcelain and paintings, which make people feast their eyes.
For those who want to take photos, the Museum of the Republic of China is the most recommended tourist product. The decoration inside is very Republic of China, as if it had crossed into the Republic of China. You can also rent props and costumes from the Republic of China here, and the effect will be better after dressing yourself up.
On that day, I stayed in Xuanwu District. There are many homestays here, with various prices and various environments, and friends can choose freely.
Jiming Temple
The next day, Youpin went to Jiming Temple and got off at Jiming Temple Station by subway line 3.
Every year from late March to early April is the cherry blossom season here, and there are cherry blossoms on both sides of the road, which is particularly artistic.
You can come here and make a wish. It is said that it is very clever. Tickets 15 yuan, give 3 sticks of incense.
Nanjing Confucius Temple
In the afternoon, you can take Metro Line 3 to Confucius Temple in Qinhuai District and get off at Confucius Temple Station.
This is a typical gathering place of history and modernity, classicism and innovation. It seems that every city has such a place.
All kinds of delicacies gather here, including local delicacies such as old duck vermicelli soup, glutinous rice balls and crab powder, as well as online celebrity delicacies such as chicken wings, zongzi and hot dogs. There are also many folk customs and cultural and creative shops hidden in the alley, which you can visit.
Qinhuai River
After the meal in Confucius Temple, the night has quietly fallen, and the pavilions and pavilions in the whole Confucius Temple scenic area are lit with colored lights, which is particularly beautiful.
The Qinhuai scenery belt of Confucius Temple is a good place to enjoy the night view of Qinhuai River. There are many cruise ships coming and going on the river, all of which are full of lanterns, which set each other off with the sparkling lake. The coast and rivers are beautiful. It's really beautiful to rent a Hanfu and take pictures at such a beautiful night scene.
Dahongji
On the third day, Youpin came to the site of Dahongji, and took the subway 1 line to Zhonghuamen Station, and got a ticket to 80 yuan.
The most famous here is the glass tower, with more than 100 lamps. When it lights up at the same time, it looks like crystal clear glass and there are many wind chimes. The ringing bell is ethereal and pleasing to the ear.
/kloc-In the 9th century, Andersen mentioned this place in his works, making the glass tower famous in Europe and among the seven wonders of the medieval world.
In addition to the glass pagoda, there are many scenic spots full of ancient charm in the ruins park: the relic Buddha light, located in the center of the Buddhist temple, with 42,000 glass lamps in a narrow space, changing all kinds of light and shadow at will, which is beautiful.
Tell the story of Xuanzang and Buddha in the Millennium. There is a long corridor here, filled with the smell of aromatherapy, and the wind chimes ring with the footsteps. At the end of the corridor, the statue of Xuanzang looked at the Buddha for thousands of years, which was very shocking.
Yuhuatai
Starting from Shunzhi, the tour products come to the nearby Yuhuatai, which can be reached by walking for about 700 meters. Tickets for 5 yuan are available.
Early spring is the best time to enjoy flowers in Yuhuatai. The park is very quiet and there are not many tourists. Forests, grasslands and lakes occupy most areas.
Patches of begonia forest and a large cluster of iris flowers, as well as butterflies dancing among flowers, are particularly beautiful and are a good place for walking, flower viewing or hiking.
Although I am very sad, this trip to Nanjing is over here.
Early spring, when everything recovers and flowers are in full bloom, is the most beautiful time in Nanjing. It is really a pleasure to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the fireworks season.
