🌿 3-Day In-Depth Nanjing Tour: Follow this itinerary to explore all the highlights of this ancient capital! Nanjing is so rich in history, every attraction deserves to be savored slowly~ 📍Itinerary: Day 1: Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area + Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum - Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum (8:30-17:00): Best visited in the morning when the mountain climb is refreshing! Many steps but worth it for the panoramic view from the top - Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum (6:30-18:30): Close to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the Sacred Way stone statues are awe-inspiring, perfect for sunset photos (Address: Xuanwu District, Muxuyuan Station on Metro Line 2) - Dinner recommendation: Republic of China Red Mansion (Zhongshan Mausoleum branch) near the scenic area with amazing ambiance Day 2: Jiming Temple + Xuanwu Lake - Jiming Temple (7:30-17:00): Extremely popular for prayers, especially for love! Stunning cherry blossoms in spring (Jiming Temple Station on Metro Line 3) - Xuanwu Lake (Open all day): Right next to Jiming Temple, boating at sunset is super romantic - Lunch recommendation: Jiming Temple Vegetarian Restaurant (famous for its vegetarian noodles) Day 3: Confucius Temple Night Tour - Confucius Temple (9:00-21:00): Night views are more beautiful than daytime! Must-try boat ride (visit Qinhuai River at night) - Laomendong: Full of artistic shops, perfect for traditional Chinese style photos - Dinner recommendation: Nanjing Impressions (Confucius Temple branch) for all local specialties in one place ✨Practical tips: 1. Best time for cherry blossoms at Jiming Temple is around Qingming Festival in April, but very crowded! 2. Take the sightseeing bus at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum - walking takes 40 minutes and is tiring 3. Bargain when shopping at Confucius Temple, stick to time-honored snack brands 4. Wear comfortable shoes! Lots of walking at Nanjing attractions 🚌Transportation: Metro is very convenient, reaching all major attractions Taxis are affordable too, usually under ¥20 between attractions 🍜Must-try foods: Nanjing salted duck, duck blood vermicelli soup, red bean sweet dumplings, beef potstickers Recommended restaurants: Zhangyun Salted Duck, Xiaoli Soup Dumplings
