Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's Mausoleum

Nanjing is a city perfect for a relaxing trip. Upon arrival, we first visited Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. We ascended the lush stone steps, a bit tiring, but from the summit, we gazed over the entire grounds, a sense of grandeur and majesty. In the afternoon, we visited the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River Scenic Area, where we took a boat ride to admire the lanterns and experience the ancient charm of the "Ten Miles of Qinhuai." The next day, after lunch, we visited the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. The stone statue path was magnificent, and a stroll through it felt like traveling back in time. In the evening, we strolled through Laomendong, where small shops lined the streets and a chill atmosphere. On the third day, a visit to Nanjing is a must. I chose to ascend the Ming City Wall at Zhonghuamen Castle to experience the grandeur of the ancient city. In the afternoon, we strolled around Xinjiekou and sampled Nanjing's famous salted duck and duck blood vermicelli soup. In the evening, we strolled through Xuanwu Lake Park, where the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains was truly relaxing. On our final day, we opted for a more relaxed itinerary, spending the morning in a cafe, writing postcards and daydreaming. We had a quick lunch of Nanjing soup dumplings before heading back to the train station for our return trip. Although it was only four days, the city's fusion of ancient and modern times left a deep impression on me.
