I have returned from Nanjing after two days and one night. The guide is attached below. |||There is always an autumn left for Nanjing. Please remember this 2-day 1-night guide. You can have a lot of fun and fulfillment. Day 1: From various cities to Nanjing Lukou International Airport or Nanjing Station.

Day 2: Sleep until you wake up naturally-Laomendong-Ancient Jiming Temple-Nanjing City Wall-Xuanwu Lake-Salted Duck for dinner-Return trip. Overall, this trip to Nanjing is OK. However, the weather is not good, it is the kind of foggy sky. The leaves are not yellow. There are also a lot of people. It is true that the photos are not good. But you can see that the real scene is beautiful. Fortunately, we are a group of six this time, so we are happy all the way. So it doesn’t matter where to go, what matters is who you go with. Recommended Nanjing food: salted duck, soup dumplings, wontons. Suggested clothing: Direct winter clothes, the weather is very cold, Wutong Avenue recommends wearing a coat for better photos. Recommended souvenir: A beautiful jasmine flower, the gift box is beautiful, tastes good, and can be delivered by express. Note: The weather has been bad recently, the leaves are not yellow yet, and there are many people.

Nanjing's 9️⃣ popular photo spots that blew up on social media, posting on Moments was a total win||On my first visit to Nanjing, I checked in at these spots within two days. Nanjing is a city with a rich historical and cultural heritage, yet it's also very modern. Taking photos and posting on Moments was a total win! 1️⃣ Nanjing's version of Inception, symmetrical architectural aesthetics, shot at 'Yuhua Living Room'. Buildings 5, 6, and 7 are all good, and you can get the shot around the 9th or 10th floor. 2️⃣ Classic spot at Zifeng Tower, taken from the north gate of 'Ninghai Middle School' near Xiqiao. The most beautiful moment is at dusk. 3️⃣ Shot on the first underground level of 'Nanjing Poly Grand Theater', using a wide-angle lens.

Nanjing cherry blossoms🌸 best viewing time is generally March-April every year🗓️ See there ️ time ⏰ temporary impromptu went 🌸Nanjing City Wall Cherry Blossom Festival🌸 Wow😳 There are so many people on Tuesday😅 There are cherry blossom trees blooming on both sides of Cherry Blossom Avenue🌸 It's really beautiful 🥰 This time flash ⚡️ Nanjing I'm so happy to be able to see the cherry blossoms🌸 📍2023 Nanjing City Wall Cherry Blossom Festival The Nanjing Wall is approaching Next to the east gate of Jiuhuashan Park, Xuanwu District, Nanjing #MainlandChina Attractions

📍Closest subway station: Xuanwumen (line 1) I had a great time! I suggest you go there about an hour before the sunset so you can enjoy both views. Here’s some information about the scenic spot: “Nanjing City Wall is one of the key historical and cultural remains of Ming Dynasty (1386) under state protection. It is a masterpiece of China's ancient architecture. With an original perimeter of about 35 kilometers (22 miles), the City Wall has a height 14-21 meters (46-67 feet). The footing has a width of 14 meters (about 46 feet). The present remains have a length of about 21 kilometers (13 miles). Nanjing is one of the few cities in China that still have old city walls, and its City Wall is better preserved with most part still remained. Nanjing citizens attach great importance to the work of protecting the wall because the wall symbolizes the history of Nanjing.” #ThisIsChina #historicculture #ancientlandmark #nanjingtravel #citywall #nanjing #sunset #china #solotravel

Another trip idea for Qingming Festival - Nanjing! I managed to pack a ton of activity into one day but there is more than enough to keep you busy in this city for 3 days. First up was the Nanjing City Wall. This wall acts as one of the best kept records of the Ming Dynasty; each brick is inscribed with the name of the official responsible for quality control as well as the city of origin. If your name was on a brick deemed to be of poor quality it was punishable by death 😵 You can honestly walk along the city wall for hours just taking in the sights of the city. Next I checked out Usnisa Palace, a 9-floor Buddhist temple with six of the floors being underground (it felt like I’d taken a million escalators by the time I finally reached the bottom!) Only 3 sections of the temple are open to the public, but they are all absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit. For the last part of my trip I took a boat ride along the QinHuai river. Since this was at night, the lights were gorgeous reflecting on the water. On top of the beautiful lights, there were even dance performances throughout the route of the boat trip! More things to do in Nanjing include the Nanjing Museum and the Nanjing Massacre Museum if you’re interested in learning more about the city’s history and culture. If you’re a foodie like me, you might want to stroll through the Confucius Temple area and snack your way around it 😉 Hands down one of my favorite cities in China. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #travelinspiration #qingmingtravel

🎈Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area With cherry blossoms, tulips, and other flowers in full bloom, Xuanwu Lake has already entered "flower mode"😜. The newly popular cherry blossom viewing spot is located between the Wumiao Gate outside Jiefang Gate and Xuanpu. Here, mountains, water, city, and forests are intertwined, with over 1,800 cherry blossom trees of 12 varieties blooming in succession. Wumiao Gate and Xuanpu are nestled among the willows, presenting a beautiful picture of white lakes outside the city walls and verdant mountains beyond the lake🌈. The tulip blossoms in Lovers' Garden are picturesque, dreamy, and poetic. Strolling through the sea of flowers is like stepping into a flowing oil painting🎨. Admission: Free🤑 🎈Jiming Temple Road The "Cherry Blossom Avenue" on Jiming Temple Road in Nanjing is a must-visit spot for cherry blossom viewing every year🤩. The gradually blooming cherry blossoms, in clusters and bunches, are as white as snow and as pink as rouge, creating a romantic atmosphere💕. Admission: Free🤑 🎈Pearl River Cherry blossoms are quietly blooming along the Pearl River. On both sides of the riverbank, the cherry blossoms are as colorful as snow and as radiant as clouds, resembling a pink ribbon, complementing the stone bridges and flowing water🌉. At night, blue light strips illuminate the entire river and flower branches. As the breeze blows, petals fall into the river, creating an extremely romantic scene in the spring night🤩. Admission: Free🤑 🎈Guanyin Gate With the cherry blossoms in full bloom, Guanyin Gate Park welcomes its "most beautiful moment"😍. Stroll here and be instantly surrounded by cherry blossoms. As night falls, the riverside Guanyin Gate Park lights up, becoming resplendent and magnificent✨.

Wuchaomen Park is a popular spot for hydrangeas, with the ancient Ming City Wall, stone carvings, and wooden hydrangeas creating a timeless atmosphere. It's a great place for photography enthusiasts📷. Walking north along Minggugong Road, you'll reach the Fugui Mountain entrance to the Nanjing City Wall, with beautiful hydrangeas all along the way🌸. This area is relatively less crowded, so if you prefer tranquility, you can take a leisurely stroll here. The abundance of greenery is soothing to the eyes and very pleasant😌. 🎈Near Jingwu Overpass The Jingwu Overpass, located in the north of the city, is a favorite spring flower photography spot for many photography bloggers📸. Starting from mid-to-late March, cherry blossoms and purple leaf plums enter their full bloom period. When the wind blows, you can enjoy a shower of cherry blossoms🌸. Here, the railway, overpass, Purple Mountain, and cherry blossoms create an artistic and poetic image📝. A unique feature is that the steps of the Jingwu Overpass are very photogenic, and the scene is also very suitable for portraits🤳. 🎈Yiliu Flower Market If you still haven't had enough flower viewing, cross the overpass and walk down the pedestrian stairs to find the Yiliu Flower Market🌷. This is the largest flower market in Nanjing's main urban area, mainly selling green plants, potted plants, and fresh flowers, with a wide variety and affordable prices💰. If you like, take a pot of spring flowers home😉! 🎈Nanjing Agricultural University Community If you're tired of the flowers and plants in the park, why not visit a community filled with the warmth of daily life👀. The Nanjing Agricultural University Community, located at No. 6 Tongwei Road, has a beautiful natural environment. There are February orchids, tulips, and ornamental cabbages in front of the residential buildings, magnolias between the buildings, and camellias, weeping crabapples, and marguerites scattered in flower pots in the corners... Strolling and admiring the flowers here not only requires an eye for beauty but also various flower identification apps, allowing you to learn while enjoying the flowers📖.

⛱️Check-in attractions: Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt, Jiming Temple, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum 🌄Travel guide: We started our tour of the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt in the afternoon. We were mainly worried that the Wang Dao Xie An Memorial Hall, located in Wuyi Alley, would be closed if we arrived too late. But it's actually open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. I guess the night view should be even more beautiful. The ticket is eight yuan, very cheap. "Wild grass and flowers by the Zhuque Bridge, the setting sun slants at the entrance of Wuyi Alley. Swallows from the former Wang and Xie families now fly into ordinary people's homes." Wuyi Alley has a very ancient charm, and my favorites are the Winding Stream and the Wuyi Alley Well. After leaving the memorial hall, we strolled around the Confucius Temple and tasted all kinds of classic snacks. In the evening, the lights of the Qinhuai River Scenic Belt came on one by one, and we could take a boat to experience the night mooring on the Qinhuai River. Because there were many young ladies in Hanfu constantly walking among the tourists, it felt like we had traveled through thousands of years and returned to the ancient city of Jinling. The crowds of tourists, the bright lights, and their reflections in the Qinhuai River created a scene of prosperity. The next day, we visited Jiming Temple. Jiming Temple has a long history and is a popular place of worship. Legend has it that it is a sacred place for severing bad relationships and fostering good ones. So, it was full of couples coming to offer incense. Under the yellow walls and black tiles, the green smoke of incense rose, calming the mind in its ethereal drift. Leaving Jiming Temple, under the ancient city wall of Nanjing, the blossoming peach trees seemed to brighten the history-laden walls. On the third day, we went to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to see the wintersweet. In order to avoid the Lunar New Year peak season, we arrived a little late. The wintersweet flowers were past their full bloom. But they were still picturesque. The scattered dots of yellow had a fragmented beauty, and occasionally, a wintersweet tree with slightly more complex blossoms stood out against the red wall, showing its elegance. A faint fragrance lingered in the air. The last photo is of a plant called Edgeworthia. The branches are knotted, which I've never seen before. The small flowers are especially beautiful.

If you're coming to Nanjing during cherry blossom season, don't miss the night tour of Taicheng Wall. I went last year and I'd like to share some tips with you.👇 . 👇A few tips ✅There is a fee to access the city wall. Full price tickets are 30 yuan, and half-price tickets are 15 yuan. ✅The "night tour" is only available for a limited time, so be sure to check this year's opening hours before you go. I went on a night tour at the end of March during the cherry blossom season. Although there are quite a few internet-famous night scenes on the city wall, it's not very attractive without the illumination of the Pharmacist Buddha Pagoda. Therefore, going up the city wall during the day will actually allow you to take more beautiful pictures. ✅If the Pharmacist Buddha Pagoda is lit up, it is recommended to arrive early, as the spot for taking the classic photo of the Pharmacist Buddha Pagoda and Zifeng Tower ("ancient and modern in the same frame") (behind the "Taicheng Study") is closed at night. ✅A telephoto lens is needed.📸 If possible, bring a tripod. The view of the cherry blossom avenue and traffic next to Jiming Temple from the city wall is also very beautiful. 🧩Name: Nanjing City Wall Taicheng Scenic Area (Shence Gate to Taiping Gate) 📍Address: No. 8 Jiefangmen, Xuanwu District, Nanjing

“Nanjing, Nanjing, you carry so much weight of history; your ancient city walls watch over the sky of time…” Whenever I hear the song “Nanjing, Nanjing”, my admiration and yearning for this ancient capital surge like a tide. In February, accompanied by this soulful melody, head to Nanjing and start a wonderful 48-hour journey! 👇 📍Day 1: Stroll inside and outside the city wall to explore the legacy of the Six Dynasties 1️⃣ Nanjing City Wall·Zhonghua Gate Stepping into Zhonghua Gate, it feels like traveling through the gate of time and space and returning to the past. In February, Nanjing is slightly chilly but tranquil. The Zhonghuamen Castle is majestic and magnificent, with tall city gates and thick brick and stone walls, all of which tell of the vicissitudes of history. Climb up the city wall, take a walk for a while, and overlook the city and its surroundings. The hustle and bustle of traffic and the quaint streets are all in sight. Imagine the offensive and defensive battles of the ancient military strategists, and you will feel a sense of respect. 📸Photography Tips: With the ancient city walls and urn city as the background, put on ancient costumes, hold a book, and capture the moment of a gentle stroll on the city wall under the sun. It is full of ancient charm, as if you have traveled through thousands of years. 2️⃣ Laomendong Close to Zhonghuamen, Laomendong is full of ancient charm. The bluestone roads are winding, the horse-head walls are staggered, and there are a wide variety of traditional Nanjing snack bars and handicraft shops. Have a bowl of steaming hot beef pot stickers, which are golden and crispy, and bursting with gravy; then visit the intangible cultural heritage shops, admire the exquisite Nanjing brocade and paper-cutting, and feel the charm of the fireworks and traditional culture of old Nanjing. 3️⃣ Confucius Temple - Qinhuai Scenic Area (Evening) In the evening, the Confucius Temple - Qinhuai Scenic Area was lit up. Quaint buildings stand by the river, with carved beams and painted rafters and red lanterns hanging high. Cruise ships slowly pass by on the Qinhuai River, creating ripples. The snack stalls on both sides of the strait are filled with fragrance, and the duck blood vermicelli soup, salted duck, and plum cake are mouth-watering. Strolling through the area, you can feel the prosperity of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and appreciate the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town. 📸Photography Tips: Stand on the Wende Bridge, with the brilliant lights on both sides of the Qinhuai River as the background, put on Hanfu, hold a lantern, capture the moment of smiling sweetly, and leave behind beautiful night view photos. 📍Day 2: Visit the historical holy land and enjoy the gifts of nature 1️⃣ Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre In the morning, I rushed to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre with a heavy heart. The museum is solemn and dignified, with a large number of historical materials, cultural relics and images showing that tragic history. Every exhibit tells the suffering of our compatriots, making people sad and angry, and reminding people of the preciousness of peace. Here, offer a bouquet of flowers to commemorate the lives lost and pray that there will never be war in the world. 2️⃣ Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Leave the memorial hall and head to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. As you climb the long steps, you'll feel a sense of solemnity. In February, the pines and cypresses on Zhongshan Mountain are evergreen, the air is fresh, and the architecture of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent, with blue and white tones standing out against the backdrop of green mountains and trees. When we came to the memorial hall, we looked at the statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen and paid tribute to him with our hearts filled with respect. 📸Photography Tips: At the foot of the steps of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, with the layers of steps and the magnificent building as the background, wear plain clothes, put your hands together, capture the moment of pious worship, and freeze the solemn moment. 3️⃣ Xuanwu Lake Park In the afternoon, we arrived at Xuanwu Lake Park. In February, the surface of Xuanwu Lake is sparkling. Although it is a bit cold, the scenery is unique. Rent a bicycle and ride along the lake, breathe the fresh air, and look out at the Purple Mountain in the distance. The mountains and water are interdependent, like a poem and a painting. On the islands in the lake, plum blossoms are in full bloom, with dots of bright red adding a touch of color to the Xuanwu Lake in winter. 4️⃣ Nanjing Food Stalls (Dinner) In the evening, go to Nanjing Food Stalls to taste authentic Nanjing cuisine. Jinling roast duck, sweet taro shoots, and Meiling porridge, each dish is exquisite and delicious. The delicious food allows you to reminisce about your trip to Nanjing and brings these 48 hours to a perfect end. 🏨【Accommodation Recommendation】 It is recommended to stay in Qinhuai District or Xuanwu District. Qinhuai District is close to attractions such as Confucius Temple, with convenient transportation and a strong sense of city life; Xuanwu District is close to Zhongshan Scenic Area, with a beautiful environment and a variety of hotels and homestays. 🚗【Transportation Tips】 Nanjing has convenient transportation, with subways and buses extending in all directions, basically covering all attractions. The city attractions can be quickly reached by subway, and some attractions can be reached on foot; to go to Zhongshan Scenic Area, you can take the subway and then take a bus or taxi. 💬【Random Thoughts】 Nanjing in February has both a profound historical and cultural heritage and charming natural scenery. As you step into this city humming "Nanjing, Nanjing", you will be intoxicated and forget about leaving in just 48 hours. My dears, come to Nanjing and start your cultural journey!

Climb up the steps and you can appreciate the charm of Jinling from a different perspective on the Ming and Qing city walls. The northern line of the city wall tour is small and exquisite, not crowded, and no reservation is required. The entire floor is made of ancient wall tiles. Remember to wear shoes with thicker and softer soles so that you can relax and stroll around for an entire afternoon. Suitable for young couples 💑 or a person to relax and daydream, and also suitable for photography enthusiasts. The sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon 🌞 shines on the battlements of the city wall, naturally casting a light and dark dividing line on the ground, running straight from north to south. Go 1,500 meters north to reach Shen Ce Gate, and go 800 meters south to reach Xuan Wu Gate. To the east, there is a panoramic view of Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain, and Nanjing Station is clearly visible. The pink and bright yellow duck boats 🚤 add a touch of life to the clear blue lake, and the crowds of tourists flow in. How can this be compared to the scenery of winter in January?

Stand at different heights, with your elbows lightly resting on the wall, overlook the lake and mountains to the left 👈, or take in the bustling city to the right 👉, whatever you wish. Looking up, I see the clear blue sky, and my heart is pure and clear. In the evening, you can replenish your energy at the food court on the basement floor of Ascott China Central Place Nanjing, or try beef pot stickers, rice dumplings, or Jinling duck blood vermicelli soup at the local restaurants on nearby Nanchang Road. Life can be full of romance, but after the eyes have had their fill of scenery, the desires of the stomach and appetite must also be satisfied. Haha, this is my other interpretation of "Only after washing away the makeup can the truth be seen, and after returning, the fragrance is still as good as before", which is excellent. ✡The Nanjing City Wall is the only surviving city wall of the Ming Dynasty capital of China.

#2024Travel Review Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty had the Imperial City, the Imperial City, the Capital City, and four city walls. The Nanjing city wall is divided into four lines: east, west, south, and north. I went up from the south line and the ticket was 50 RMB. Zhonghua Gate is a barbican, and you can see the cannon weapons of the time on the upper city wall. You can also see the Qinhuai River, the Dabaoen Temple Tower, and a large group of ancient city areas in Laomendong. #familytravel #Ming City Wall #Viewing Nanjing from the Ming City Wall
