Reasonable strategy for 2-day tour in Nanjing

A.M.

Arrive at Nanjing Bus Station at 9: a.m. on the 5th, take bus No.56 (or 536) at the bus terminal to siping road Square North Station, and walk for 5 minutes to the Gunnandu Bridge Hotel (about 13 taxis). The hotel is a quasi-four-star, with good environment, convenient transportation and inexpensive accommodation. When I check in, I added 78 yuan to upgrade my room and gave two tickets (2 per person) to Yuejiang Building. Put down your luggage and set off for the first day of Nanjing.

The hotel is more than 9 meters away from Yuejiang Building. Go west along Jianning Road and you will reach the south gate of Lion Mountain in 1 minutes. Yuejiang Tower is located at the top of Lion Mountain, at the foot of which is Yifeng Gate, one of the thirteen gates in the inner city of the capital in the early Ming Dynasty. Lion Mountain is 78.4 meters high and soon climbs to the top. Yuejiang Tower, together with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Yueyang Tower in Yueyang and Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, is called the four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, with a height of 51 meters, which is magnificent on this hill. Climbing to the top of the building, the Yangtze River winds by not far from the foot of the mountain, and the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is full of traffic with excellent viewing angle. It's a pity that the Yuejiang Building is closed at night, otherwise the night view here is excellent. When going down the mountain, you can bypass the gate building of Yifengmen. In the early Qing Dynasty, Liang Huafeng unexpectedly opened Yifengmen to resolve Zheng Chenggong's siege, and defeated Zheng Jun greatly.

cross the city gate and you will arrive at Tianfei Palace. Tianfei Palace is dedicated to Empress Mazu, and its style is exactly the same as that of Tianhou Palace in Fujian, and the incense is still quite prosperous. When you leave Tianfei Palace and go west, you will arrive at Jinghai Temple, which is one of the top ten law temples in the Ming Dynasty. It was built in Yongle period, and the specific provisions of treaty of nanking were negotiated here.

The above three places are the main scenic spots of Lion Mountain Scenic Area. If the visit speed is faster, you can also visit the nearby Bao Shipyard site (take bus No.15 to the Dinghuaimen Street Station on Jiangdong North Road, and take a taxi for about 13 yuan).

then take a taxi to Xuanwu gate. Xuanwu Gate is the largest of the thirteen gates in the early Ming Dynasty. It was called Xuanwu Gate only after 1928. The famous Xuanwu Gate Incident did not happen here, and now it is the gate of Xuanwu Lake Park. Xuanwu Gate is free, but we didn't go up to the Gate Tower because 3 yuan was charged separately. The renovation trace of Xuanwu Gate is very heavy, many bricks are replaced, and there is no simple feeling of Yifeng Gate at all. Xuanwu Lake, which has a history of more than 1,5 years, was a royal garden in the Six Dynasties, a forbidden area in the Ming Dynasty and a park in the Qing Dynasty. There are many small islands in the lake, so you can rent a pedal boat to wander in the lake. When I went there, there were as many boats in the lake as in jiaozi, and I had no desire to go down to the lake at all. Because there are too many people, it is very destructive to the artistic conception. After a while, I decided to leave for the next stop.

Take the subway to Daxing Palace Station, and you will get out of Nanjing Library. Go north on Yantaiping North Road, turn right on Changjiang Road, and you will get to the Presidential Palace. Tickets for the Presidential Palace are 4, and the package ticket for the Presidential Palace plus Jiangning Weaving House Museum is 55. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Nanjing Presidential Palace was located in the Houfu of Guide and the Wangfu of Han Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was the Jiangning Weaving Department, the Jiangnan Governor's Office and the Liangjiang Governor's Office. It was also the "palace" when Kangxi and Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan built the Heavenly Palace here. After the Qing army invaded Nanjing, it was rebuilt as the Governor's Office of Liangjiang. Sun Yat-sen was sworn in here as the office of the National Government. It was 12 o'clock when we arrived, and the crowds were surging. The lobby, the second hall and the Zichao building in the scenic spot were all hard to move, and the items on display were hard to see. In addition, we were not very interested in modern history. After we hurriedly skipped it, we transferred to Fuyuan, the east garden of the presidential palace. Fuyuan was a typical Jiangnan garden building, and a boat pavilion was built on the Middle East Lake in the park, which was exquisitely designed. There is a post office in the presidential palace, and there is a long cabinet next to it to write postcards and stamp for everyone, which can be delivered directly.

It's past one o'clock after visiting the Presidential Palace. I walked to the 1912 block on the west side of the Presidential Palace for lunch. The 1912 block is composed of 17 buildings with the style of the Republic of China and four street squares of "Harmony", "Boai", "New Century" and "Pacific Ocean". It is a bar street. There was also a creative market that day, which was similar to the creative block style in Shamian. After a circle, I ate beef noodles and roast chicken in a restaurant named Hong Qi.

P.M.

After lunch, I started my afternoon trip. Diagonally opposite the 1912 block is Jiangning Weaving House Museum. Compared with the surging crowds in the presidential palace, it seems much quieter here. Jiangning Weaving House Museum was designed by Academician Wu Liangyong and opened to the public in 213. The museum was built on the former site of Jiangning weaving. The history of Weaving House was exhibited in the exhibition hall on the first floor, and the Jiangnan Garden was visited, which was similar in shape to the Grand View Garden described in A Dream of Red Mansions. On the second floor, there is the Cheongsam Exhibition; on the first floor, there is the exhibition of brocade fabrics and A Dream of Red Mansions; there is also a teahouse in the Red Mansion, Zhiyanzhai, where you can enjoy tea and dream back to the Grand View Garden. The most impressive thing in the museum is the 3D version of Kangxi's Southern Tour, which is not as effective as the 3D animation played in the cinema, and vividly reproduces the grand scene of that year.

Jiangning Weaving House

It's past 4 o'clock when you get out of the museum. Go to the Presidential Palace Station and take bus No.2 to ming tomb. Tour 2 passes through Xi 'an Gate, the former site of Inspirational Society, the former site of Kuomintang government, the Ming Palace Museum, Nanjing Museum and other scenic spots. Every time you pass, you have the urge to get off and visit, but you don't have enough time, so you sit all the way to Linggu Temple Park. After getting off the bus, there is a minibus connecting to ming tomb and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and the fare is 5 yuan. Tickets for ming tomb are 7 yuan, and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free. Think about it, or Mr. Sun Yat-sen is more considerate of the people.

for the first time, ming tomb established a ternary courtyard system of "front facing and rear sleeping" according to the layout of the imperial palace, which initiated the basic pattern of "front facing and rear round" in the mausoleum building plane, and has been standardizing the construction regulations of more than 2 tombs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for more than 5 years. The place where the minibus gets off is the main part of the cemetery, passing through Wenwu Square Gate, Xiaoling Gate, Xiaoling Hall, Neihong Gate and Fangcheng Minglou, and you will come to Baoding. There is a path that can go straight to Baoding. Our legs are already very sore after strolling in the afternoon, but we want to go up and see what the so-called Feng Shui treasure land is. After climbing it, we are deeply disappointed. The trees are too dense, and it's getting late, so we can't see the whole picture at all. I think Baoding can stand on the Ming building and watch the panoramic view without going up.

After coming out of the main part of the tomb area, go left to go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and walk 2 meters to the right to be Shinto. Shinto is the passage in front of the tomb, and it is called Shinto when stone pillars are built as the standard. Stone men and beasts set up on both sides of Shinto are called Shinto stone carvings, which symbolize the ceremonies of the emperor before his death, and are rich in prestige, auspiciousness and disaster avoidance. Here, I would like to say that it is wrong for us to visit Shinto after walking through the tomb area. We should take Shinto first, and then walk through the tomb area, which is in line with the pattern of the whole tomb area and is also a respect for the gods and ancestors. If you go sightseeing, you can take the subway to the alfalfa garden, and take the cemetery road from the alfalfa garden to visit, which is about 1.5 kilometers.

After visiting Shinto, it was completely dark, and there was not even a light shadow in the whole scenic spot, so it was eerie and cold. The sight of us and other tourists striding towards the subway station in the dark is quite spectacular.

I originally planned to visit Qinhuai River at night, but when I got to the subway station, I collapsed, my feet were burning, and my legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds. I decided to take the subway back to the hotel to rest.

Day 2

A.M.

Depart from the hotel at 7: 3, take the No.1 bus and get off at the Central Gate East Station, and you will arrive at Shence Gate. Shence Gate is the most well-preserved one among the thirteen inner city gates of the Ming City Wall, and it is also the only gate in Nanjing that retains the dysprosium tower before the Republic of China. As mentioned above, Liang Huafeng in the early Qing Dynasty, in order to resolve Zheng Chenggong's siege, not only opened Yifeng Gate, but also opened Shence Gate, and defeated Zheng Jun here, breaking Zheng Chenggong's dream of northern expedition. In fact, Shence Gate is not in our tour route. We planned to transfer to the South Line to qixia temple at this station, but the South Line stopped, so we had to transfer to Nanjing Station at 536, and then transfer to qixia temple at 26. It will be around 9 o'clock. It's not the peak season now, and the ticket is 25. It will be 35 from October 11th.

qixia temple was founded in the 7th year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (489). It is one of the four famous temples in China and the birthplace of the "Three Lunzong" of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River. Entering the mountain gate, there is the Maitreya Buddha Hall, followed by the Daxiong Hall, where Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined. Then there is the Pilu Treasure Hall, which is dedicated to the Buddha of Pilu in gold, followed by the statue of Guanyin on the island. Beyond the Pilu Hall, there are the Dharma Hall, the Buddha Hall and the Buddhist Scripture Building built by the mountain. After walking through these main buildings, you can see the stupa. The stupa was built in the second year of Sui Renshou and rebuilt in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is one of the oldest stone pagodas south of the Yangtze River and the largest stupa in China. On the right side of the stupa is the Thousand Buddhas Rock, which is called "Thousand Buddhas". A 5% discount is almost enough. Going up the mountain after crossing the Thousand Buddha Rock is the way. On the first day, we walked too hard and didn't want to climb, so we took a minibus (2 per person) to the riverside of the first emperor at the top of the mountain. This scenic spot is said to be the place where Qin Shihuang went to the top of the mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth during his fifth southern tour. I don't know whether the history is true or false, but here, overlooking the Yangtze River, thousands of berths compete for development, and the plain Wan Li, the vision is quite broad.

Starting from the riverside of Shihuang, the Fengxiang Peak, the main peak of Qixia Mountain, is 286 meters above sea level, on which the TV signal transmission tower of Jiangsu Radio and Television Group is built. I was afraid of climbing the mountain on the first day. Based on the principle of not climbing the mountain, we walked down the mountain by another road. It's not the time to go to Qixia Mountain on National Day. Except for some maple leaves on the top of the mountain that turn slightly infrared, most of them are still lush. If you want to see the frosty leaves all over the mountain, it is best to go in November.

take the 26 back to the city after going down the mountain. Originally, I had to change to bus No.2 at Xinzhuang Square East Station to go to Zhanyuan, but we both fell asleep on the bus and slept all the way back to Nanjing Station, so we had to take the subway to sanshanjie station instead. It was nearly 1 o'clock when I arrived. I wanted to go to the six thousand pavilions for dinner, but I didn't open the door, so I went upstairs to have lunch at Xinghexuan. The well-regulated Cantonese restaurant can still produce.

P.M.

The night before, I was debating whether to go to Ganjia Courtyard or Zhanyuan. Later, I thought it would be closer to go to Confucius Temple from Zhanyuan, and finally decided to go to Zhanyuan. If you want to go to Ganjia Courtyard, walk 5 meters north along Zhongshan South Road after getting out of the subway station. To visit the Garden, turn from Zhongshan South Road to Shengzhou Road, turn east and turn right into Zhonghua Road, and you will arrive soon.

Zhanyuan has a history of more than 6 years, and it is the oldest existing garden in Nanjing. It is named after Ouyang Xiu's poem "Looking at the Jade Hall, Like in the Sky", and it is also called "Four Famous Gardens in the South of the Yangtze River" together with Wuxi Jichang Garden, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden and Liuyuan Garden. Zhanyuan was built in the early Ming Dynasty, and it is the mansion garden of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. In the second year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1645), the park became the Zuobuzheng Department of Jiangnan Province. Emperor Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River, once stationed in this garden, and wrote the inscription "Zhanyuan". When I first entered Zhanyuan, I felt that the garden was very small, but after passing through various winding corridors and rockery gates, a turn was a new scene. There is a small waterfall in the south rockery, the pool is crystal clear, leaning against the beauty, and the breeze blows slowly, which is very comfortable. There are Xu Da Exhibition, History Exhibition of the Secretariat, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum, etc.

Zhanyuan

Come out from the south gate of Zhanyuan, and walk not far to Gongyuan Street. Just a few steps ahead, you will arrive at Nanjing Confucius Temple (3 per person), diagonally opposite to the Confucius Temple is Jiangnan Gongyuan. It is estimated that there have been activities before, and all of them have been covered with red carpets, which is somewhat out of place with quaint buildings. Confucius Temple was built in Song Dynasty, and there are buildings such as Lingxingmen, Dachengmen, Dacheng Hall, Mingdetang and Zunjingge on the central axis. The number one drum and bell-banging in the temple attracted many parents and children, which meant nothing to us two people in college dropout. There is a large-scale Chinese education exhibition in the Confucius Temple. You can visit the Confucius Temple by looking at the exhibition.

Confucius Temple

In front of Confucius Temple is Qinhuai River, facing Confucius Temple is a huge dragon relief, and the characters "Qinhuai people" are written on the wall next to it. This is the place where you can board a boat on the Qinhuai River at night. Go east along the pedestrian street and cross Wenyuan Bridge to the food street. We came to Nanjing food stall for dinner, and when we got there, all the people were at the door of the store. The number plate is divided into A, B, C, D according to the number of people, two are A, three are B, and so on. We stood in line in front of the store for almost an hour in the cold wind before it was our turn. The store's calling method is very nostalgic, shouting "Please take the seat with the number A * *!" Then an old man will lead us in. There is a stage in the shop, where two beautiful pipa and cheongsam women sing Suzhou-Hangzhou minor. We happened to be sitting under the stage, listening to the minor and eating the famous salted duck soup with vermicelli soup in Nanjing. It was really good. Behind the store is the Qinhuai River. You can enjoy the night view of Qinhuai River if you sit on the cloister for dinner.

Qinhuai River

After dinner, I wandered to visit Qinhuai River at night. The tour of Qinhuai River takes 6 days and 8 nights, and there is no student ticket. The whole journey takes nearly an hour, and there are explanations on board. Qinhuai River is known as the "smoky area of the Six Dynasties and the place where gold powder gathers", and it is also a prosperous place of the Ten Dynasties. "Dressed cultural relics are flourishing in the south of the Yangtze River; The literary talent is romantic, and it is in the sea. " Since the Southern Dynasties, Qinhuai River has become a place where famous families live together and merchants gather, making it a popular place for literati to meet. Wendeqiao, next to Confucius Temple, used to be Wuyi Lane. In the Six Dynasties, it was the romantic center of Qinhuai. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao and Xie 'an lived together. Now there is the Xie 'an Memorial Hall in Wang Dao. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Qinhuai River gradually declined. "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang died in front of the swallow and flew into the homes of ordinary people." The Southern Song Dynasty gradually recovered and reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the "Eight Colours of Qinhuai" became popular.

Sitting on the boat, watching the pavilions, red-light wine shops on both sides of the strait, four talented people waved by, and went back to the era when talented people and beautiful women recited poems against each other and their love and hate were clear. When the original boat docked, the two-day trip to the south came to an end. I'm in a hurry and just want to see more scenery, but there are so many historical stories in Nanjing that it's hard to say that I can see one tenth of them after staying for ten days and a half months. I have regrets about traveling and look forward to my next trip to Nanjing.
