Are there any interesting places in downtown Nanjing?

The streets outside the Confucius Temple are more commercial, similar to the three lanes and seven lanes in Fuzhou and Zhongshan Road in Xiamen. They are all shops with Nanjing characteristics, but they actually sell national currency. Although the Confucius Temple is crowded with crowds, noisy hawking and cheap music, the architectural features are well preserved, and its colors and lines clearly reflect the historical time span. When the light is turned on at night, it is especially ornamental.

As I have never been to Gong Yuan and Confucius Temple, I have no right to comment:-) I hope I can savor the historical imprint of Nanjing next time I go to Nanjing.

Focus! If you don't want to be crowded, it is recommended to go during the day; But the Confucius Temple at night is really better than during the day. Let's choose from each other:-)

Second, Qinhuai River Night Tour

No matter the length of the journey, it is strongly recommended that you must experience it. The whole journey takes about 50 minutes, and the tour route is: Chi Pan Pier of Confucius Temple-Bailuzhou Park-Colorful Water Street-Dongshuiguan-Zhonghua Gate-Chi Pan Pier of Confucius Temple. Many details are invisible on the shore, such as some murals on the bridge opening.

Focus! It is recommended to buy tickets for the evening. In summer, you can board the boat around 6: 45 to 50 (it's still bright for the first half of the day, and it's dark for the second half, so turn on the light). Some people will wait until it is completely dark before boarding, but if you don't line up there at 6: 30, you will have to wait for a very long time:-)

3. Yuyuan Garden (5A)/ Exhibition Garden (4A)

Yu Garden is superior to Zhanyuan in the creation of natural landscape, which is why many people come here to take photo and wedding photos, but its history and culture will be weaker than Zhanyuan. Zhan Garden relies on the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and the scenery is not as beautiful as Yu Garden. The beauty of a foolish garden is holistic and can make people grasp the core, but looking at the garden is more like messy and accidental beauty.

Focus! If you are in a hurry, I suggest visiting Yu Garden. After all, it is a 5-A scenic spot. If you like history, you can visit Zhanyuan. Remember to prevent mosquitoes uu, and it is best to wear a mask. There are many small white flying insects in the garden, which may bump into your face!

Fourth, Nanjing Museum.

As a child from an area without a large museum, Nanbo shocked me. Nanbo is divided into several areas, such as history museum, digital museum, special exhibition hall and Republic of China museum. , rich in exhibits and collections.

Focus! It's the Nanjing Museum, not the Nanjing Museum! If you want to take photos in the Republic of China Pavilion, I suggest you go early. There were already many people when I went at eleven o'clock, and the photo-taking effect was not very good.

Five Dynasties and Six Dynasties Museum

Although the venue is small, the theme design of the utensils on the second floor is really amazing, which shows the seriousness and intention of the staff! The color of porcelain is divided into four seasons, which is very gradual and layered. The creation of light is just right, similar to Hou Xiaoxian's use of light and shadow in Assassin Nie Yinniang and Flowers on the Sea. The mottled bamboo shadow is reflected on the wall, which echoes the cultural atmosphere of the Six Dynasties. I went at four o'clock in the afternoon, near closing time (5 o'clock), and there were almost no people, which just provided an immersive experience.

6. Memorial Hall for Victims of Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders

This is a place that everyone in China should visit once. As the conclusion of the memorial hall says: remember history, not hatred. I didn't take pictures, and I felt too heavy.

Seven, Nanjing Li Ji Lane comfort station site exhibition hall.

The most exquisite part of the exhibition hall is to visualize the humiliating, dirty and sad history, so that people have nowhere to escape and can only face, accept and reflect. Their huge tears are firmly fixed on the wall, and the sunlight should sting everyone's heart under its reflection. Compared with the number of tourists in the Presidential Palace, Zhongshan Scenic Area and Confucius Temple, the exhibition hall is even less than one tenth of them. A nation's memory and choice of history, to some extent, implies its own psychology and trend. However, I met many colleagues in the exhibition hall, which also proved that this history will be remembered by more people.

Eight. presidential palace

Through the presidential palace, the epitome of China's modern history, we can get a glimpse of the turbulent power struggle in the last century. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's spirit of "the world is for the public" is still touching. Although I am not very interested in modern history, it does not affect the importance of the Presidential Palace as a site of modern history in China. It is also one of the must-see attractions in Nanjing:-)

Nine, Zhongshan Scenic Area

It is suggested to stay one day in Zhongshan Scenic Area. You can buy a joint ticket, and the student ticket is half price. Be sure to have a good rest and recharge your batteries the night before. At least20,000 steps a day. It is best to wear trousers, long sleeves and water. The water in the scenic spot is a little expensive. Remember to protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes!

My tour route at that time was: Ming Mausoleum-Meiling Palace-Linggu Temple-Music Station-Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. In fact, every scenic spot has sightseeing bus leading to other scenic spots, and everyone can choose to take a taxi or take sightseeing bus. The time is 10 yuan /20 yuan (depending on the distance). After visiting Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, you can take sightseeing bus to Alfalfa Garden (subway station) and leave by subway.

I thought Zhongshan Scenic Area was a bright spot, but I got an unexpected surprise! Arriving at the Ming Tombs at nine o'clock, there are few tourists, just a group of grandparents walking (? I also saw a foreigner and his baby carrying two big backpacks. I once suspected that they were camping in it.

(1) Ming tomb

Route reference: Enter from Gate 3 → Luyuan → Meihua Valley → Shinto Wang Zhu → Weng Zhong Road → Zijinshan Road → Jinshui Bridge → Fangcheng Minglou → Return to Jinshui Bridge by the original road → Sunquan Tomb Site → Shi Xiang Road → Sifang City (you can reach Meiling Palace from the nearby exit).

Focus! Although there are many scenic spots on the map, the names look meaningful and antique, but in fact you will find them there. In fact, they are just a monument, a pavilion and a blessed land with a long history. So I suggest you pick some important scenic spots to see.

(2) Meiling Palace

Come out from the gate near Sifang City of Ming Tombs and walk for about five minutes. The place is not big, and I finished shopping in less than 30 minutes.

Ps: Song Meiling's calligraphy and painting are very beautiful.

(3) Linggu Temple

It is recommended to wear trousers and long sleeves. Linggu Temple is the place with the most mosquitoes in Zhongshan Scenic Area! Mosquitoes there are the kind that will stick to any part of your body all the time and can't be driven away. Although I was wearing long-sleeved trousers, I was not spared (? ω `)

You must climb the ancient Lingbao Tower, with a wide view and a bird's eye view of half of Nanjing. And the wind at the top of the tower is very strong and cool, and the fatigue of walking and climbing stairs is swept away.

Friendly reminder: uu people who are afraid of heights should not lie on the fence. Oh, my legs were weak. ω `)

If uu people haven't eaten it yet, they can try the vegetarian noodles in Guling vegetarian noodle restaurant. The soup is a little sweet, and the two pieces that look like chicken are actually tofu (I feel extremely painful because I want to eat meat, but the vegetarian noodles are really vegetarian).

(4) Music stations

The music station is very close to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. You can go to the music station first.

The music station is the pigeon's home. They are not afraid of people at all, and walk past you in a big way. It doesn't matter whether you buy feed or not, because you can get close to them.

Focus! Pigeons are cute, but be careful of their excrement! An uncle next to him was dripping with water, and then he left swearing, but it was really funny:-)

(5) Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum can take a line. Although the legendary stone steps seem to have many floors, they actually climbed up in less than six minutes. The scenery above won't let you down.

X. Mochou Lake/Xuanwu Lake

Mochou Lake needs tickets, and Xuanwu Lake only needs on-site appointment. Personally, I prefer Xuanwu Lake, but objectively speaking, Xuanwu Lake is really representative and its area is much larger, so sightseeing bus can sit in it. However, it is recommended that uu people have a look!

If you are in a hurry, you can choose to go only to Xuanwu Lake, and Euler Musical Instrument Store is also here:-)

Ps: You can wear headphones to listen to songs when you visit, and combine your personal feelings with the vast space. It is very comfortable and comfortable, like doing a spiritual gymnastics. Mochou Lake is accompanied by a happy journey with bare hands, while on Xuanwu Lake, I am immersed in the inner senses created by the wild combination typhoon.

Xi。 Jiming Temple

There are too many temples in Fujian that burn incense and worship Buddha, and they are not so interested in Jiming Temple. However, if there are any important exams or other life events in the near future, you can visit them. Tickets 10 yuan, give three incense sticks for free, and it will take about 20 to 30 minutes to worship.

There are some amulets, pendants and bracelets that can be bought, but they are more expensive. It depends on your own needs:-)

Area 12, Area 12 of Yihe Road Building

Compared with other scenic spots, Yihe Road Mansion has few people. Let's go there before it becomes a scenic spot among network celebrities. ω `)

There are dozens of buildings in the Republic of China, and there are almost no traces of commercialization. Feel and listen to the whispers of plants and trees, the whispers of the wind, and the distant calls it brings, all of which belong to the 20th century.

It is recommended to go in sunny morning or evening. The building will show its elegance and tranquility against the sunshine or sunset glow, and become a dignified woman to tell you the legendary history.

Ps: If you like the architecture of the Republic of China very much, you can visit the banks all over Nanjing. Of course, some of them have become old sites.

Thirteen. Pioneer bookstore (Wutai Mountain)

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with pioneer bookstore in Wutai Mountain (I don't know what other families are like), and it's not as mysterious as advertised on the Internet. The books in it are all bestsellers, especially literature. I suggest you have a look around. It's easier to buy books online.

This is where Lao Yang rehearsed early. ω `)

The surrounding area is also relatively general, except for pioneer bookstore's joint name, which has no great features. But this postcard is still worth entering. ↓

XIV. Online friends

Who refused to get the cute brown bear and the cute bunny (? Ω`) The girl's heart is bursting!

Although the place is small, there are seven or eight places to take pictures.

You can buy one or two communities as souvenirs (although it is a bit expensive for the student party, it is really cute! )
