The weather in Zhenjiang was beautiful in May. The high-speed train from Nanjing South Station to Zhenjiang Station only took 20 minutes. We landed at Zhenjiang Station around 9:00 AM. We rode Hellobikes all the way to Jingji Road, where we went shopping and had breakfast. Then we rode to Jinshan Scenic Area. The temple and the Giant Buddha are quite majestic. If you're visiting during a long weekend, the crowds can be quite large, so just entering can take almost half an hour, and the entire tour took about two hours. There were performances along the way, and some areas were closed for renovations. We had lunch at Xijindu, where we enjoyed the famous pot-covered noodles, a side of braised pork, and the must-try Yangda yogurt. In the afternoon, we continued our bike ride to Beigushan Mountain. Compared to Jinshan Mountain, Beigushan is smaller and takes about an hour to explore. We then rode to the Yong'an Road Vegetable Market, famous for its pork belly, where we could buy some food. It was around 4:00 PM when we returned to Zhenjiang Station and took the high-speed train back home. Due to time constraints, I only had one day to explore, but a two-day trip would have been more effective. Near Xijindu, there's the Zhenjiang Museum, and the more distant Jiaoshan and Mengxi Garden near the Lucai Market are both possible the next day. There are also many options for morning tea. Zhenjiang, with its rich history, is a great place to visit. The advantage is that each attraction is within easy reach and can be easily reached by bicycle. The only drawback is that parking can be difficult due to the crowds. If you're renting a car or driving, be aware that there's often no parking available, so take public transportation whenever possible.
