Reasonable tips for 2-day Nanjing tour

A.M.

Nanjing bus station at 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the 5th, in the bus terminal to take the 506 (or 536) to the Siping Road Plaza North Station, a 5-minute walk to the Ancient Nandu Bridge Hotel (taxi about 13 yuan). The hotel is quasi four-star, the environment is very good, convenient transportation, accommodation is not expensive. check in time to add 78 yuan upgraded room, sent two tickets to read the river building (20 per person). The first day of the trip to Nanjing, after putting down the luggage, started.

The hotel is more than 900 meters away from the river reading building, along the Jianning Road to the west, 10 minutes to the south gate of the Lion Rock. Read River Tower is located at the top of the Lion Rock, the foot of the hill is the early Ming Dynasty capital of the inner city of one of the thirteen gates of Yifengmen. Lion Mountain is 78.4 meters high and it doesn't take long to climb to the top. The River Reading Tower, together with Wuhan's Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang's Yueyang Tower and Nanchang's Tengwang Pavilion, are known as the four most famous towers in Jiangnan, and at a height of 51 meters, it looks magnificent on this small hill. Climb to the top of the building, the Yangtze River is not far below the mountain winding through, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge on the traffic, viewing angle is excellent. It is a pity that the reading building is not open at night, otherwise the night view is excellent. Downhill can go around the past Yifengmen gate building, early Qing Dynasty Liang Hua Feng for the dissolution of Zheng Chenggong siege of the situation, the surprise opening Yifengmen, routed the Zheng army.

Through the gate, you will arrive at Tianfei Palace. Tianfei Palace is dedicated to A-Ma, the goddess of the sea, and the style is the same as that of Fujian's Tianhou Palace, and the incense is still quite strong. After Tianfei Palace, head west to Jinghai Temple, one of the top ten temples of the Ming Dynasty, which was built during the Yongle period and was the site of the negotiation of the Nanking Treaty.

The above three are the main attractions of the Lion Rock Scenic Area, but if you're quicker on the uptake, you can also visit the ruins of the nearby Bao Shipyard (bus 150 stops at Dinghuaimen Street on Jiangdong Beilu, and a taxi costs about 13 yuan).

Afterward, take a taxi to Xuanwumen. Xuanwumen is the largest of the thirteen city gates in the early Ming Dynasty, and was called Xuanwumen after 1928, the famous Xuanwumen Incident did not happen here, and is now the gate of Xuanwu Lake Park. The Xuanwumen Gate is free, but the gatehouse charges another 30 yuan, so we didn't go up. Xuanwumen renovation traces are very heavy, a lot of bricks have been replaced, there is no Yifengmen ancient feeling. Walked through the Xuanwu Gate is Xuanwu Lake, has a history of more than 1,500 years, the Six Dynasties for the royal garden, the Ming Dynasty for the royal forbidden land, the Qing Dynasty for the park. There are several small islands in the lake, you can rent a pedal boat in the lake wandering. Go to the time of the lake boat as many as dumplings, no desire to go down to the lake. Due to too many people, very destructive mood, stayed for a while decided to leave for the next stop.

Take the subway to the Daxinggong station, out of which is the Nanjing Library, the extension of Taiping North Road to the north and turn right into the Yangtze River Road to the Presidential Palace. Presidential Palace tickets 40, buy the Presidential Palace plus Jiangning Weaving House Museum package is 55. Nanjing Presidential Palace in the early Ming Dynasty for the return of the Marquis of Virtue House and Han Wang Fu, the Qing Dynasty for the Jiangning Weaving Department, Jiangnan Governor's Office, the Governor's Office of the Two Rivers, but also Kangxi, Qianlong down the south of the river when the "Palace". During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, Hong Xiuquan built the Tianwang Mansion here, which was rebuilt as the Governor's Office of the Two Rivers after the Qing army broke through Nanjing. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was sworn in here as the office of the National Government. We went to the 12 o'clock, the crowd surging, the scenic area of the lobby, the second hall and Zichao building are difficult to walk, the items on display is difficult to see, coupled with the modern history is not very interested in, hurriedly skimmed over the East Garden after the Presidential Palace - Fuxing Garden, Fuxing Garden for the typical architecture of the Jiangnan Gardens, the garden of the East Lake is repaired with a boat-shaped pavilion, the design is ingenious. The design is exquisite. Inside the Presidential Palace there is a post office, next to a long cabinet for everyone to write postcards and stamps, direct delivery.

After strolling through the Presidential Palace is already one o'clock, walk to the west side of the Presidential Palace of the 1912 neighborhood to eat lunch. 1912 neighborhood consists of 17 blocks of Republic of China style buildings and "*** and", "Boai", "New Century", "Pacific Ocean", "New York", "New York", "New York", "New York", "New York", "New York", "New York" and "New York". The 1912 Neighborhood consists of 17 Republic of China-style buildings and four plazas, "**** and", "Boai", "New Century" and "Pacific", and is a street of bars. On that day, there was also a creative bazaar, similar to the style of creative neighborhoods in Sha Mian. After circling around, I ate beef noodles and roast chicken at a restaurant called Hong Qi.

P.M.

After lunch, the afternoon began. Diagonally across the street from the 1912 neighborhood is the Jiangning Weaving House Museum. Compared with the raging crowds at the Presidential Palace, this place seems much quieter. Jiangning Weaving Mansion Museum was designed by academician Wu Liangyong and opened to the public in 2013. The museum is built on the site of the former Jiangning Weaver, the first floor pavilion exhibits the history of the Weaver's House, tour out of the Jiangnan garden, the shape and the "Dream of the Red Chamber" described the Grand View Garden strangely similar. The second floor pavilion is the cheongsam exhibition, the negative floor is the successive generations of brocade fabric exhibition and "Dream of the Red Chamber" exhibition, there is also a red chamber teahouse - Li-Yan-Zhai, you can sip tea inside the dream back to the Grand View Garden. The most impressive museum is the 3D version of the "Kangxi South Tour", the production effect is no less than the 3D animation of the cinema broadcast, vividly reproduced the year's grand scene.

Jiangning Weaving Mansion

From the museum, it was already past 4:00, and we walked to the Presidential Palace Station to take the Tour 2 bus to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. Tour 2 through the Xi'an Gate, the former site of the Reed Society, the former site of the Nationalist Government, the Forbidden City, the Nanjing Museum and other attractions, every one of them have the urge to get off the bus to visit some of the time is not enough, they sat all the way to Linggu Temple Park. After getting off the bus to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and Zhongshan Mausoleum, the ticket price of 5 yuan. The ticket for the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is 70, and the Mausoleum is free of charge, so I think it's better to think of Dr. Sun Yat-sen as the oldest person in the world.

The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum was first established in accordance with the layout of the Imperial Palace, "before and after the bed" three courtyard system, creating a mausoleum building plan was "front and round" of the basic pattern, and has been regulating the Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 500 years since then more than 20 mausoleums of the emperor's construction regulations. The place where the minibus gets off is the main part of the tomb area, passing through the Wenwu Square Gate, Xiaoling Gate, Xiaoling Hall, Inner Red Gate, Fangcheng Minglou, and coming to the top of the treasure. There is a small road can go straight to the top of the treasure, we wandered to the afternoon legs are already very sore, but want to go up to see the so-called feng shui treasure in the end how to climb up after deep disappointment, the trees are too dense, coupled with the day is already late, simply can not see the whole picture. I feel that if you go to the top of the treasure can not go up, standing in the bright building will be able to look at the panoramic view.

From the main part of the tomb out to the left is to go to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, to the right hand side to walk 200 meters is the Shendao. It is the passageway in front of the tomb, and the stone pillars are built as markers, which is called Shendao. The stone figures and beasts on both sides of the path are called Shinto stone carvings, which symbolize the emperor's ritual guards before his death and are rich in prestige and good luck, as well as repelling and avoiding calamities. Here I would like to say, we walk the tomb area and then walk the Shendao visit order is wrong, should walk the Shendao, and then walk the tomb area, so as to comply with the pattern of the entire mausoleum area, but also to the gods and ancestors of respect. If you go for a tour, you can take the subway to Clover Park, and take the Mausoleum Road from Clover Park to the tour, which is about 1.5 kilometers.

After visiting the Shinto shrine, it was already dark, and there was not even a single light in the entire scenic area, which made it feel eerily cold. The sight of us and other tourists sprinting towards the subway station in the dark was still quite a sight.

Originally planned to go to the night tour of the Qinhuai River, but walked to the subway station, the whole person is paralyzed, the soles of the feet hot, hot, legs and stomach has been as heavy as a thousand pounds, and decisively take the subway back to the hotel to rest.

Day 2

A.M.

Departing from the hotel at 7:30pm, I took the No. 10 bus to the Central Gate East Station and got off at the Gate of Divine Justice. Shencemen is the best preserved of the thirteen inner city gates of the Ming City Wall, and is the only gate among all existing gates in Nanjing that retains the pre-Republican dysprosium building. As mentioned above, Liang Hua Feng in the early Qing Dynasty, in order to dissolve Zheng Chenggong's siege of the city, in addition to opening the Yifeng Gate, but also opened the Shenze Gate, and here defeated Zheng's army, breaking Zheng Chenggong's dream of the Northern Expedition. In fact, Shenze Gate is not in our tour route, we had planned to transfer to the south line at this station directly to the Qixia Temple, but the south line is out of service, we had to transfer to 536 to Nanjing Station, where we transferred to 206 to the Qixia Temple. Arrive at about 9 o'clock.

Qixia Temple was built in the Southern Qi Yongming seven years (489 years), is one of China's four great temples, the birthplace of the Jiangnan Buddhism "three theories". Entering the gate, there is the Maitreya Buddha Hall, followed by the Daxiongbao Hall, where Shakyamuni Buddha is enshrined. After that is the Vishnu Temple, where the golden Vishnu Shakyamuni Buddha is enshrined, followed by the statue of Guanyin on the island of Haijima. Beyond the Vishnu Treasure Hall, built along the mountain, are the Dharma Hall, the Nenbutsu Hall, and the Sutra Building. After walking through these main buildings, you can see the Sheri Pagoda. The Sheri Pagoda was built in the second year of Sui Renshou and rebuilt in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is one of the oldest stone pagodas south of the Yangtze River and is the largest Sheri Pagoda in China. To the right of the pagoda is the Thousand Buddha Rock, which is called "Thousand Buddhas", but at a 50% discount, it's about right. After the Thousand Buddha Rock and then up the road is the road up the mountain, we walked the first day too hard, do not want to climb, to the temple outside of the God of Wealth where to take the minibus (20 per person) to the top of the river at the beginning of the Emperor, this attraction is said to be the first Emperor of the Qin Emperor's fifth tour of the South when the top of the place of the sacrifice to the heavens and the earth. I don't know if it's true or not, but the view of the Yangtze River from here is quite expansive, with thousands of moorings and thousands of miles of plains.

In the first emperor of the river at the start of walking up a section is the main peak of Mount Qixia - Fengxiang Peak, 286 meters above sea level, above the construction of Jiangsu Radio and Television Group TV signal transmission tower. The first day to climb the mountain climbed afraid, in line with the principle of can not climb the mountain on the principle of not climbing, we go around another road to go down the mountain. National Day to Qixia Mountain is not the time of the maple forest, in addition to the top of some of the maple leaves slightly infrared, most of them are still lush. If you want to see a mountain full of frosty leaves, go in November is the best.

After going down the mountain, I took the 206 back to the city. The original is to be in the Xinzhuang Square East Station to transfer 2 bus to ZhanYuan, but we both in the car sleep over, all the way back to Nanjing station, had to take the subway to the Sanshan Street station. When we arrived, it was nearly 1:00, I wanted to go to the six thousand hall for dinner, but the results were not open, so we went upstairs to the Xinghexuan lunch. The restaurant is a modest Cantonese restaurant, the product is still OK.

P.M.

The night before, I was confused about whether to go to the Gan Family Residence or to the Zhan Yuan, but then I thought it would be closer to the Fu Zi Temple from the Zhan Yuan, so I finally decided to go to the Zhan Yuan. If you want to go to the Gan Family Residence, just walk 500 meters north along Zhongshan South Road after leaving the subway station. If you want to go to Zhan Yuan, turn east on Zhongshan South Road to Shengzhou Road and turn right onto Zhonghua Road, and you'll be there in no time.

Zhan Yuan has a history of more than 600 years, is the oldest existing garden in Nanjing, named after Ouyang Xiu's poem "Looking at the Jade Hall, such as in the sky", and Wuxi Send Chang Yuan, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden and Liou Yuan and known as "the four great gardens of Jiangnan". Junyuan was built in the early Ming Dynasty as the garden of the residence of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. In the second year of the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1645), the garden became the office of the left provincial governor of Jiangnan. Emperor Qianlong toured the south of the Yangtze River and visited this garden, and inscribed a plaque with "Zhan Yuan". When I first entered the garden, I thought it was very small, but after passing through the winding corridors and the round gate of the rockery, I turned a corner and found a new scenery. There is a small waterfall in the south rockery, and the pool is so clear that you can see the bottom, leaning on the Beauty Leaner with a gentle breeze blowing through, which is very cozy. In the garden, there are Xu Da exhibition, the history of the Chief Secretary's Office exhibition, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum and so on.

Zhan Yuan

From the south gate of Zhan Yuan, walk a short distance to Gongyuan Street. A few steps ahead of the Nanjing Fuzimiao (30 per person), Fuzimiao diagonally across the Jiangnan Gongyuan. It is estimated that the previous activities, all laid with a red carpet, and the ancient architecture is a bit out of place. Fuzimiao was built in the Song Dynasty, with the latticework gate, Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Mingde Hall, Zunjing Pavilion and other buildings on the central axis. Inside the temple, the Scholar's Drum and the bell ringing attracted many parents and children, but for us two people away from the campus, there is no special significance. Inside the temple there is a large Chinese educational exhibition, looking at the exhibition will be able to finish the temple.

Fuzimiao

Fuzimiao in front of the Qinhuai River, facing the temple is a huge dragon bas-relief, next to the wall written "Qinhuai people" a few big words. This is where you can board a boat for a night cruise on the Qinhuai River. Walking along the pedestrian street to the east, across the Wenyuan Bridge to the food street. We are specially registered to come to Nanjing stalls to eat dinner, to see the people waiting for a place are lined up in front of the store. The number plates are divided into A, B, C and D according to the number of people, two people are A, three people are B, and so on. We waited in front of the restaurant for almost an hour in the cold wind before our turn came. The shopkeeper called out in a very nostalgic way, shouting "Please take your seat in the number A**!" Then an old man would lead us inside. There was an opera stage in the store, and two pipa and cheongsam beauties were singing Suzhou-Hangzhou ditties on it. We happened to be sitting under the stage, listening to the ditty and eating Nanjing's famous salty water duck dunked in soup buns and fan soup, it was so nice. Behind the store is the Qinhuai River, sitting on the veranda to eat if you can also enjoy the night view of the Qinhuai River.

QINHUAIHUAI RIVER

After dinner, we wandered to the night tour of the Qinhuai River. Tour of the Qinhuai River during the day 60, 80 at night, no student tickets, the whole nearly a clock, the boat has a commentary. The Qinhuai River has always been "six dynasties of smoke and moon area, the gold dust collection of the place", and more than ten generations of prosperity, "clothing and cultural relics, the prevalence of Jiangnan; literary style flow, A in the sea". Since the Southern Dynasty, the Qinhuai River has become a place where famous families live and merchants gather, and it is a resort for literati and writers to meet. From the Wende Bridge next to the Fuzi Temple, there is Wuyi Alley, which was the center of the Qinhuai River during the Six Dynasties, and during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it used to be inhabited by the two great families of Wang Guan and Xie An, and there is now a memorial hall for Wang Guan and Xie An. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Qinhuai River gradually declined, and "the swallows in front of the halls of Wang Xie in the old days flew into the homes of ordinary people". It gradually recovered in the Southern Song Dynasty and reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the "Eight Beauties of the Qinhuai River" were popular.

Sitting on the boat looking at the two sides of the pavilions, red lanterns and restaurants, the four great talents beckon and pass, trance through history to return to that talented man and woman poetry, love and hate the era of clear. The boat docked, two days of Nantian trip came to an end. Trip in a hurry, just want to see more scenery, but Nanjing is too much history too many stories, stay on ten days and a half month is difficult to say see one tenth. Tourism has regrets, looking forward to the next trip to Nanjing.
