Must-See Nanjing: From the Porcelain Tower to the Old East Gate, Jinling Is Truly Beautiful!

I've been to Nanjing many times, but this time I stayed in the bustling heart of the ancient capital, unlocking the Grand Bao'en Temple Ruins Park → Old East Gate → immersive cultural tourism route of the Zhan Garden at night! Travel through a thousand years in a day and enjoy the prosperity of Jinling! 💃Recommended Itinerary: 1️⃣ Grand Bao'en Temple Ruins Park: The Glazed Light Shines for Thousands of Years. 📍Approx. 10-minute drive from the hotel | 🎫 Ticket: CNY 90 ✨ Must-See Highlights: ✔️Porcelain Tower Ruins: The light and shadow at night are like "auroras falling."

The night view is even more unique, and there are free guided tours every half hour. This time, I chose to stay at the Jinling Hotel Sheraton Nanjing. In addition to its excellent location, I must praise the breakfast here. Jinling duck blood vermicelli soup, yangchun noodles with shrimp roe soy sauce, delicious Jinxi meat-filled buns, duck oil and pork floss crispy sesame cake, as well as freshly made jianbing guozi and beef fried dumplings. With such a good breakfast, there's no need to order takeout to eat local delicacies. As the lights of the Porcelain Tower gradually fade and the hustle and bustle of the Old East Gate returns to silence, return to the hotel to see the city's starry sky, get a good night's sleep, and recharge for more exciting Jinling stories tomorrow. 🌸Deep Dive into the Magic City ︱ National Travel Treasures ︱ Various Guides Shared ☘️Multi-platform contracted author, welcome to follow me ❤
