Two-day cherry blossom viewing itinerary for a weekend in Nanjing, let's go!!!

Maximize your weekend in Nanjing with these two fun and easy itineraries👇Save this post so you don't get lost! ✅Route 1: Hongshan Forest Zoo → Xuanwu Lake Park - Yingzhou → Jiming Temple → Qinhuai River - Confucius Temple (night view) ✅Route 2: Nanjing Museum → Zhan Garden → Qinhuai River - Confucius Temple (daytime) → Laomendong → Home 🐸Hongshan Forest Zoo is truly unique! There are no animal performances, and the animals live freely as if you're strolling through a large garden. You have to search for the animals yourself, and it feels like the animals are living a very comfortable life here. 📍Nanjing Museum is a must-visit! The exhibits are incredibly rich, offering a fully immersive experience. I love all kinds of pottery figurines, where you can see the development of ceramics and the makeup, hairstyles, and clothing of different eras. The Republic of China Hall has a fantastic atmosphere, making you feel like you've traveled back in time. You can even enjoy tea and traditional performances at the Lao She Teahouse. 🌸Xuanwu Lake is breathtakingly beautiful! As the largest imperial garden lake in China, it stretches from Xuanwu Gate to Jiming Temple, with lake views and cherry blossom forests along the way. Yingzhou Island is perfect for picnics and relaxation. Zhan Garden is not only a stunning Jiangnan garden but also steeped in history, allowing you to learn about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It's a great place to take photos with a Republican era vibe. 🛶The night view of Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River is beautiful, but it's very crowded. I prefer Laomendong. It's a gathering place for traditional Nanjing residences, with numerous folk crafts and Nanjing specialties. Strolling through it, you'll be surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of old Nanjing. Nanjing is truly a fantastic place! With this weekend itinerary, you can experience the unique charm of Jinling in just two days. Plan your trip now!
