Nanjing Night Tour Guide|Stress-free Travel for Workers.
At the end of last month, I went to Nanjing with my friends. When I saw the yellow ginkgo leaves 🍂 and red maple leaves 🍁 all over the ground, I was so excited! 🥺 Nanjing is the embodiment of autumn in the eyes of people from Guangdong. So, I wrote this guide for those who want to visit Nanjing. I hope you have a great trip and enjoy the beauty of Jinling like we did!

✈️ Transportation: Take a flight from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to Lukou Airport. Then, take Metro Line S1 🚇 from Lukou Airport and transfer to the line closest to your hotel. (We didn't want to spend too much, but if you have a bigger budget, you can take a taxi. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the city center by taxi.)
-
🏨 Accommodation:
Before we went, I asked a friend who studies in Nanjing. She said that Xinjiekou is the most convenient place to stay. However, the price is a little higher because of its good location. We finally chose to stay near Zhangfuyuan Metro Station (Line 1, one stop from Xinjiekou). There is also Daxinggong, which is one stop from Xinjiekou. We stayed for four nights and spent more than 800 yuan. I suggest you stay near a metro station for convenience.

Construction of Xinjiekou Station began in December 2001. The main project of Line 1 was completed in December 2003. Nanjing Metro Line 1 opened on May 15, 2005.

Nanjing! Xinjiekou! Two people don't want to check out.
Thanks to the recommendation of Nanjing netizens! The first time I went to Nanjing with my best friend, I stayed in a homestay courtyard with a private hot spring in the city center!! Super beautiful!
Mountain view courtyard with Chinese-style log hot spring private hot spring and large floor-to-ceiling windows is really beautiful! If you want to go on vacation with your family during the weekend, holiday, or winter vacation, you can come here
This price is really worth it! Per capita
This price is really worth it! The space is very large, with high-definition projection, air conditioning, washing machine, and mahjong machine! No need to worry about boredom, you can sit in the courtyard in the evening in autumn to make tea, barbecue, and camp, which is very suitable for group parties~
Full marks for transportation, very convenient location
Single-family villa, quiet in the middle of the noise!
It is near Nanjing South Railway Station, very close to Confucius Temple and Laomendong, and downstairs is Metro Line 3 and Line 1, directly to major scenic spots

In Nanjing, the only private kitchen I would recommend!!!
Near Mingwa Lang, Xinjiekou
All their customers are introduced by returning customers
They trust the taste, and the owner makes everything fresh
Not pre-made, so the wait time is a little longer
But that's what makes the food so delicious
👉🏻Signature catfish
The soup is milky white and tastes delicious
It feels so good to drink in this weather
The catfish inside is very tender
👉🏻Frog and duck tongue pot
Who doesn't love duck tongue with rich sauce?
There is also bullfrog meat inside, which is chewy
👉🏻Tea-flavored pork ribs
French fries are added to enhance the taste
The ribs are sweet and glutinous, with a tea flavor
Really delicious, you'll want more
Their osmanthus yam is also a must-order
Also, the braised beef tendon and braised rice cake are good

Right in Xinjiekou!!! I was drawn to this restaurant!!
The cool autumn air is gradually coming to Nanjing, and I found a heartwarming restaurant!! This small shop on Shigu Road in Xinjiekou is hidden deep in the alley, but many people come here to eat🔥
.
🥩Lamb Pot
The aroma hits you as soon as it's served, making you drool!!
The lamb is stewed just right, it's fatty but not greasy, every bite is full of happiness. The portion is very generous~
The soup is rich, permeated with the deliciousness of the lamb, it's unforgettable👍🏻
.
💚The casserole dishes are also one of their signature dishes!
There are so many types! Such as potato beef, braised pig's feet, braised chicken feet, etc...
Each one is stewed until it's soft and flavorful, the meat is tender, you can't help but take one spoonful after another!! Paired with a bowl of steaming white rice, it's simply amazing🍚
.
🤤How can you miss the barbecue here!! I love the lamb skewers! Each skewer is carefully selected for its balance of fat and lean, it's grilled until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the slight spiciness is very nice👍🏻

A seafood hotpot restaurant in Nanjing that I keep going back to!!!
The Xinjiekou branch is super popular and I've been there several times! As soon as you walk in, you can see a huge seafood pool with all kinds of fresh seafood. It's great value for money!
·
There are 12 types of hotpot bases to choose from, and each person gets their own pot, which is clean and hygienic! There's Tom Yum, Guizhou sour soup, Chengdu spicy, Shunde rice soup, Hainan vinegar, etc. Everyone can find a hotpot base that suits them!
·
There are so many types of seafood, all of them are lively and jumping, live shrimp skewers, live crab killing, you can see the freshness! Mud crab, small green dragon, octopus, abalone, crab, black tiger shrimp, oysters, swan eggs, starfish... too many to choose from!
·
There's also Indian flying cakes made by Indian chefs on site, freshly cut beef, vegetables, drinks, etc. It's so satisfying to eat!

Nanjing! Xinjiekou! Stayed in a loft Airbnb for a week! Will come again next time
Decided to come to Nanjing for a two-day trip on a whim~ It's easy to plan the itinerary since there are only so many attractions, but the most difficult part is always the accommodation!!! Luckily, I found this place, and after experiencing it with friends, I decided to share a bit about it~
First of all, the overall experience of staying here was very good. We brought our own sheets and shoes; the room was fully equipped and also provided disposable slippers and some daily necessities.
The loft has a natural wood design, with two beds upstairs and downstairs, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bathtub, which is more than enough for four people. The large bed downstairs faces the projector, so if you can't sleep at night, you can watch movies with friends.
There is a security guard downstairs, and you need to swipe a card to access your floor in the elevator. There is also a delivery locker downstairs, and it seems that many young people rent apartments here.
Worth mentioning! The place is in the Xinjiekou commercial area, near the Line 3 subway station, with many local snacks nearby, such as Jiming Soup Dumplings, Huainan Beef Soup, Potstickers, Hot Dry Noodles, etc. In the evening, there are street vendors selling fried rice and barbecue on the street near the community.
Address: Nanjing, Xinjiekou Street

It is said to be the ceiling of Nanjing shopping malls, let's go and see how it is
Deji Plaza can be said to occupy the C position of Nanjing's commercial sector, located in the core area of Xinjiekou, with Exit 7 of Xinjiekou Station on Metro Line 1 and Line 2 directly connecting to the -1 floor of Deji Plaza.
Deji Plaza is the most upscale shopping mall in Nanjing, known as the ceiling of Nanjing malls, gathering international top luxury brands, with high-end decoration. Recently, the luxurious public restroom renovated by Deji Plaza at a cost of 16 million has gone viral, becoming a popular check-in spot for tourists from other places.
In addition to shopping, entertainment, and dining, Deji Plaza also integrates fashion and art, often hosting high-quality art activities such as painting, music, and sculpture. The Deji Art Museum, located on the top floor of the second phase of Deji Plaza, often hosts relatively high-end exhibitions.
Tips:
1. The underground passages of Nanjing Xinjiekou are well-connected, and almost all the shopping malls and office buildings in Xinjiekou and surrounding areas are connected underground. You can reach your destination through the underground passages when shopping or playing around Xinjiekou. For example, Dayang Department Store is located at Exit 1, Deji Plaza is located at Exit 7, Jinling Hotel is located at Exit 6, and Oriental Mansion is located at Exit 5.
2. In the Xinjiekou area of Nanjing, various restaurants are basically located on the basement floor of the shopping malls and can be accessed through the underground passages.
So many hydrangeas! The summer vibe is maxed out!
The curator's aesthetic is on point, you can take great photos no matter what – and the scenes get updated regularly, so even if you don't buy flowers, the curator welcomes all the ladies to come and take photos 😄
There's also daily floral arrangements and flower art setups, as well as flower arranging experiences~

After trying this new style Chinese milk tea at Xinjiekou, I'm hooked
As a milk tea 🧋 aficionado, I've nearly sampled all the milk tea brands in Nanjing, but this one stands out in both packaging and flavor, catching my eye 🥹.
The use of Eastern aesthetics in the packaging is truly eye-catching.
The storefront is also painted in ink bamboo color 🎋, with a well-matched combination of multiple aesthetic elements.
The flavor caters to the young generation's tea-drinking preferences.
The refreshing taste in the milk tea is genuinely lovable.
✅ 'Xi Shang Bodhi' looks good just by its appearance, with a generous amount of cream topping sprinkled with some crushed figs, adding richness to the texture and a refreshing taste with a nutty aroma.
✅ 'Bodhi', for those who prefer a stronger tea flavor, don't miss out. It's full of tea aroma, rich and mellow, with an aftertaste that lingers, delicious~

wkkkk! A new bakery supermarket opened in Nanjing! So delicious! And it's 50% off!
