Life advice, visit these places before leaving Nanjing

Once it's autumn, Nanjing becomes Jinling~ You should visit Nanjing in autumn, to see the unique romance and deep feelings of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the misty Qinhuai River. Here's a citywalk checklist for autumn in Nanjing, come and note it down~ Day1: Laomendong—Confucius Temple—Qinhuai River Day2: Dabao'en Temple—Painter's Village Day3: Yaxi Slow Town—Gaochun Old Street Laomendong Named after its location east of Nanjing's city gate 'Zhonghua Gate', Laomendong is characterized by its grey bricks and black tiles. Not only can you find memories of the city from over 600 years ago, you can also taste a variety of special snacks~ Confucius Temple As a top attraction in Nanjing, Confucius Temple has a strong atmosphere of life. Many shops sell Nanjing's special souvenirs, and if you're interested, you can also experience the human-powered rickshaw here. Qinhuai River You must come and see the night view of Nanjing's Qinhuai River. When the lanterns on the boats light up, you will understand the romance of 'Ten Miles of Qinhuai, a dream of Jinling'. Dabao'en Temple Among the '480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many towers in the misty rain', the 480 temples refer to Dabao'en Temple. Its reconstruction design is visually different from traditional Buddhist temples, not only incorporating many modern elements, but also allowing you to feel the shock of the fusion of modern architecture and Chinese classical aesthetics~ Painter's Village In Liuhe, Nanjing, there is a lesser-known check-in spot—Painter's Village. The walls of the entire village are covered with various paintings, and even the architectural design of the village is enclosed in a circle, resembling a birdcage, which is very interesting. Gaochun Old Street If you don't want to experience the crowded city of Nanjing, you might as well go to Gaochun Old Street. Unlike other commercialized ancient towns, it is more simple and natural. The main street is full of various homemade dried geese, rice wine, shrimp sauce, which have a unique flavor. Yaxi Slow Town To avoid the crowd, you can also go to the nearby Yaxi Slow Town. As the first international slow city in China, it not only has tea fields, lawns, and farmland, but also rainbow slides, treetop walks, glass plank roads and other amusement facilities. You won't feel bored spending a whole day here~ Food recommendations: Li Ji Halal Restaurant (beef pot stickers), Master Zuo's Plum Cake, Lotus Lake Cake Shop, Xiao Pan's Duck Blood Vermicelli, Chicken Crow Soup Dumplings, etc. Accommodation recommendations: It is recommended to stay near Xinjiekou/Confucius Temple/Laomendong, it is very convenient to walk around, recommended Republic of China Red Mansion, Laomendong Manxin Mansion, etc.
