Tour in Nanjing for three days

Day 1: Nanjing Railway Station - Xuanwu Lake - Jiming Temple - Presidential Palace

You can sell return tickets after getting off the bus. I didn't want to "move" back, so I planned to take a ride You can go to Shanghai by bus, but the ticket seller will not recommend any bus to you. He directly recommends that you buy a "motor train". Remember, if you want to come back by ordinary bus, you have to check the train number in advance)

Nanjing Railway Station, as legendary, has a sense of design and feels a bit like an airport. After leaving the train station, you will see Xuanwu Lake directly opposite. If you walk along the lake (towards the left), you can also reach Jiming Temple; if you are pressed for time, turn left to the bus stop and take bus 44 to Jiming Temple ( You have to walk back for a while after getting off the car. You can walk along the small river. The autumn leaves are dancing and the sun is shining all the way. It is very pleasant. That is why I decided to increase the 2-day itinerary to a 3-day itinerary:) BTW you can also see Wang Jingwei and others A pavilion built with everything in mind.

Jiming Temple: Tickets are 5 yuan (3 incense sticks are given, so don’t trust anyone who sells incense and candles to you on the road) (For specific attractions, please refer to Ctrip’s introduction)

Climb the Medicine King Pagoda , the cost is 5 yuan. There are wishing cards sold at the entrance (10 yuan each, low-tech; there is also a wish-seeking device like a game machine, which is quite fun). You can climb the tower to overlook Xuanwu Lake, and there are many Buddhist statues on the first floor, as well as beautiful and changing LED lights, allowing you to feel the selfless transcendence brought by high technology

Eat:

For lunch at Baiweizhai in Jiming Temple, I recommend the safe noodles, which are rich in content; the vegetarian chicken and goose noodles are extremely unpalatable, just like soy sauce noodles.

I don’t recommend sugar taro seedlings

Go: Jiming Temple - Presidential Palace

Exit Jiming Temple (be sure to turn right when you come out of the back door, don’t turn left, otherwise You can go there) You can take a taxi to the Presidential Palace, the cost is about 9-10 yuan, it is still very cost-effective for more than three people,)

Presidential Palace: Tickets are about 40 yuan\person

It is best to start visiting around 1 o'clock, because the Presidential Palace is quite big. It is too late to see it all. The closing time is around 17 o'clock. After the visit, you can find the station on the right side of the gate of the Presidential Palace and take a tour 2 Go to Sanshan Street and go to the hotel.

Stay:

I went to the Wanhao Wanjia Sanshan store recommended by everyone. The transportation is convenient, the equipment is new, and the service is okay. There are single rooms, business king rooms, double standard rooms, and family rooms (three beds), with prices increasing in order. For two people, I recommend the business king bed, which is affordable and spacious. BTW, be sure to ask for a room with a window when booking a room, because some single rooms have no windows, so remember!

Dinner: Confucius Temple

It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Confucius Temple from the hotel. You can walk around. "The Qinhuai River in the shadow of lights and lights" is not as beautiful as Mr. Zhu's painting Enchanting and sentimental, just take a look

Eat:

Jiang Youji’s pot stickers; Kuiguang Pavilion, Lianxin Cake Ball Shop (the cakes here are average) Aftertaste Vermicelli Soup (super good Eat), you can read the guide for other things. The "aftertaste" here is on the road to health.

The second day: Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum - Ming Xiaoling Tomb - Linggu Temple

Get up at 8 o'clock in the morning and go to Liu Shengxing for breakfast (crab roe soup dumplings, very delicious, about 14 Three yuan, 5-star rating). For other options, you can try the fish soup wontons (a bit fishy), and the family portrait noodles, which are only about 10 yuan. They come with a big soup bowl, enough for two people, and they taste good. Then take Tour 2 to Sanshan Street to reach your destination. The journey takes about 40 minutes.

In fact, the geographical order of the three scenic spots is Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum - Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum - Linggu Temple, but it is recommended that you go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum first.

Buy here first The coupon can be swiped by card, you can use Ctrip Gold Card for discounts, and you can apply for an annual card

Secondly, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum requires climbing, which requires a certain amount of physical strength. At the same time, climbing in the morning will not be too depressing

Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum: The Shinto scenery is better, but please note that the small train usually takes you to the entrance (which was the back door of Xiaoling Mausoleum at that time). You will usually walk along the entrance to the tomb of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and then Go back the same way and go to the Shinto, but now you are at the end of the Shinto. You will see a pair of stone statues of civil servants. At that time, the Shinto started with animals and ended with humans. If you want to visit from the beginning of the Shinto, you can go up to Plum Blossom Mountain at the entrance, go through the mountain (the so-called mountain is a large soil slope), walk to the starting point of the Shinto, and visit back.

There is a small train that goes directly from Xiaoling to Linggu Scenic Area. Before boarding the train, you need to ask the driver about your destination. At the same time, if you hold an annual pass, you need to pay three yuan per person to take the train. The combined ticket is free. Ride.

In Linggu Scenic Area, you can take a look at the big lions (or leopards, whose tails have been chopped off) on both sides of the archway. They are solemn and majestic, and their eyes are very sharply carved. No matter where you stand, , you can feel them staring at you, and then look at Wuliang Hall and the Golden Osmanthus King (large osmanthus tree) behind Wuliang Hall. Climb the tower. The stairs in this tower are spiral. It is best to go to the second floor and take a rest. If you finish it in one go, you will only feel dizzy and vomiting when you reach the top! The scenery from the top of the tower is good, you can see the cascading mountains, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and other scenic spots in the distance.

Get off and take Tour 2 back to the city (remember, the last bus of Tour 2 is at 17:45, pay attention to the time, otherwise you can only take a taxi back, which is expensive). At the same time, try to bring your own water, food, etc., preferably chocolate, and be careful not to buy things in scenic spots. Prices are extremely high, a tea egg costs 1.5 yuan, and it is super mini!

For dinner at Lion Bridge (located on Hunan Road, Shanxi Road), you can take Tour 2 at the Presidential Palace, transfer to Bus 3, and get off at Shanxi Road Station.

Eat:

Da Pai Dong: Osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root, especially delicious, the kind that makes you want to have another after eating one, 5-star rating! Lion's head casserole, the soup is good, but the lion's head has too much fat and the sweetness is greasy, so I give it 3 stars!

Yin’s chicken soup dumplings, just three words, very sweet, give it 2 stars!

Beijing Tanghu Lu, I asked for the most original flavor and found that the hawthorn was raw, so I gave it 2 stars.

There are many chain stores of aftertaste vermicelli soup here, on Hunan Road, close to the Zhujiang intersection. (Suddenly I discovered that the LOGO of Huashei is surprisingly similar to the LOGO of Bank of Nanjing, haha). After eating, it took about 20 minutes to walk back to the hotel by subway.

Day 3: Climbing Purple Mountain - Visiting the Observatory ——Yuhuatai

Early in the morning, take Tour 2 to Sifangcheng and change to Route 20, and get off at the Purple Mountain Cableway. The cableway costs 60 yuan for a round trip. At that time, it was not used as a cableway at all. Many Nanjing people climbed the mountain by themselves. After consulting the locals, they climbed up the mountain along the path. The slope was very high, about 45 degrees. I was a little short of breath, but the air felt fresh, as if my body was following it. Let go of the old and bring in the new! It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to arrive at the observatory. Tickets are 15 yuan per person, but if you hold the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Annual Card, it is free (I donated another 15 yuan because I didn't read the details behind the annual card carefully)

After the visit, return along the road down the mountain, go to the entrance for tour 2 and visit the Yuhuatai. The ticket is 35 yuan per person.
