| My favorite hotel in Nanjing so far has arrived! After four days of exploring Nanjing, here's a well-planned itinerary with no backtracking! Nanjing is truly a treasure of a city, perfectly blending classical and modern elements. Although this trip involved walking over 100,000 steps, every attraction was worth visiting! 🚶‍♀️Day 1: Visit adorable animals at Hongshan Zoo → Stroll around Xuanwu Lake to enjoy autumn → Check out the incense-filled Jiming Temple → Climb the Ming City Wall for sunset → Take vintage Republic-era style photos at Yilu Road (Jiming Temple is famous for its matchmaking blessings, and the 20-yuan Ming City Wall ticket allows you to walk all the way to Xuanwu Gate) 🇨🇳Day 2: Feed pigeons at Music Terrace → Pay respects at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum → See the Stone Elephant Road at Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum → Cycle along Wutong Avenue → Admire the treasures at Nanjing Museum (Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is closed on Mondays, book the museum 7 days in advance, Stone Elephant Road is stunning in autumn) 📖Day 3: Learn about Jiankang's history at Six Dynasties Museum → Travel back to the Republic era at Presidential Palace → Write postcards at Pioneer Bookstore → Sample snacks at Laomendong → Enjoy Qinhuai River's night view at Confucius Temple (Recommend Republic-era Red Mansion Restaurant near Presidential Palace, 1912 Block is lively at night) 🕊️Day 4: Remember history at Memorial Hall of the Victims → Take zen-style photos at Niushou Mountain (Book the Memorial Hall in advance, dress respectfully) 🍜Must-try foods: 1. Duck Blood and Vermicelli Soup - Recommend Yin's Dumpling chain 2. Duck Oil Crispy Pancake - Zhu's Xiao Zheng Pancake at Laomendong 3. Soup Dumplings - Jiming Soup Dumplings near Jiming Temple 4. Salted Duck - Hanfuxing's time-honored brand is most authentic 5. Plum Blossom Cake - Street stalls make the most authentic version 💡Tips: 1. Get a metro card for convenience - most attractions are accessible by subway 2. Bring student ID for discounts at most attractions 3. Many places are closed on Mondays - check in advance 4. Remember to bargain with tricycle drivers at scenic spots
