The aftereffects of my trip to Nanjing were profound, listen to my genuine thoughts

Some say that in Nanjing, it's easy to blur the lines between history and modernity😮. The city's transformation from the 'Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties' to a modern metropolis, with its splendid civilization, endows this historic city by the mountains and water with a unique charm!🏙 🏠Accommodation: It's convenient to stay near Laomendong, Confucius Temple, Xinjiekou, or Nanjing Station as it's easy to get around from these areas. 🚗Transportation 🚄High-speed train: It's recommended to arrive at Nanjing Station, which is right across from Xuanwu Lake, making it convenient for sightseeing and accommodation. Nanjing South Station is a bit far. ✈️Plane: There is a subway to the city center after exiting the airport. If you arrive in the wee hours, there's also a bus to the city center with Nanjing Station as its terminal. 🚌City transport: Get a ZFB card, and you can easily ride the subway and buses by scanning the code. 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary Day1: Laomendong - Confucius Temple - Qinhuai River Day2: Ancient Jiming Temple - Ming City Wall - Xuanwu Lake Day3: Niushou Mountain - Yangtze River Bridge 📍Laomendong Just a 6-7 minute walk from the subway station, follow the crowd! Strolling through Laomendong is like seeing a miniature of old Nanjing City👀. Check-in spots: 📷Nanjing's famous 'pai' stalls😋, I love Jinling roast duck and Meiling porridge! 📷Old City South Memory Hall, which recreates the bustling scene of old Nanjing City🎉. 📷Jiezi Garden, a hidden Jiangnan garden in Laomendong! 📍Confucius Temple Normally free to enter, truly deserving of the title 'the best in the world for Qinhuai lanterns'🎇. 📍Qinhuai River Taking a night cruise on a painted boat is the right way to experience Qinhuai River!🛶 📍Ancient Jiming Temple Known as 'the number one temple of the Southern Dynasties', it has always been bustling with worshippers! It's best to go for blessings in the morning🙏. 📍Ming City Wall The city wall is very long, offering a wide view. From atop the wall, you can see Jiming Temple and take a photo with the entire temple and Zifeng Tower📷. You can also see Xuanwu Lake! 📍Xuanwu Lake Once a royal garden! Xuanwu Lake is vast (I was super tired that day🤥), and I caught the sunset there! Absolutely stunning~🌅 📍Yangtze River Bridge 🚴Cycling across the Yangtze River Bridge, a total of 5.4km, takes about 35 minutes! It's really pleasant to feel the evening breeze and look at the Yangtze River🌬. 📍Niushou Mountain Truly a splendid palace built at a cost of 4 billion! A must-visit when in Nanjing!✨ ⚠️Travel tips: 1️⃣Xuanwu Lake is really hin big, it's recommended to take a tour bus, suggested route: Lingzhou - Zhuzhou - Cuizhou - Lovers' Garden🚗 2️⃣No photography is allowed inside Jiming Temple, and you must enter from the left and exit from the right🚫 3️⃣The Qinhuai Lantern Festival lasts until May 30, and the Egret Island Lantern Festival lasts until April 30🎆 5️⃣No eating is allowed in Nanjing subway, or you'll be fined 20r💰 🌮Food Recommendations😋 Duck blood vermicelli soup🥘, duck fat pastry🥯, pan-fried buns🥟, Jinling Wharf Association·Nanjing Cuisine River Delicacies (Confucius Temple branch)🍲, Xiao Pan Ji duck blood vermicelli soup🍜, Leg Master·Chinese Fried Chicken (Ke Alley branch)🍗, Lu's Plum Blossom Cake🌸, Jiming Soup Buns🥠, Beef Potstickers🥩, Osmanthus Sugar
