Nanjing travel guide scenic spots transportation and accommodation

Nanjing is located in the east of China, near the river and offshore, with excellent geographical position and many scenic spots. Convenient transportation in the territory, very convenient travel, direct access to various scenic spots. When you come to Nanjing, you must go to Confucius Temple, Zhongshan Scenic Area, qixia temple, Presidential Palace and so on.

Nanjing's capital history began in the Three Kingdoms period. In 229, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, and soon moved his capital to Jianye (known as Nanjing in ancient times). Since then, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties (Song, Qi, Liang and Chen) have all settled here, so Nanjing has the reputation of "the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the ancient city declined. In the Five Dynasties, Yang Wu and Guo Li rebuilt Kang and renamed it Jinling House. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was changed to jiangning house.

1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and changed his name to Nanjing. During the Qing Dynasty, Nanjing was the capital of jiangnan province and was named jiangning house. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was founded, it was changed to Tianjing.

19 12 The Republic of China was founded, with Sun Yat-sen as the interim president and Nanjing as the interim capital.

About the flow 1. Nanjing's scenic spots are relatively concentrated, and the subway is basically covered. It's convenient, but the ticket machine doesn't support mobile payment, so you should prepare small change below 10 yuan. Before going, I checked the bus card online and could return it, but I consulted the customer service at airport metro Railway Station and told them that stored-value cards did not accept card return, and there were no daily cards or tourist cards, so I needed to buy a ticket separately every time I took the bus.

There is a subway connection from Lukou Airport to downtown, but it takes a long time. On the way back, get off at Nanjing South Railway Station on Line 1 and change to Line S 1. It takes one hour to get to Lukou Airport, so if you fly, you should reserve more time on the way.

3. Go to the main scenic spots in Zhongshan Scenic Area, such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Mausoleum, Meiling Palace and Linggu Temple. You can take the subway to Alfalfa Garden Station and transfer to sightseeing bus. There is also a sightseeing bus connection between scenic spots, which saves energy. One way 10 yuan, unlimited in 50 yuan. Buying unlimited tickets is not recommended. We bought an unlimited number of tickets, but actually only took three trips and lost 20 yuan. When I left Linggu Temple near six o'clock, sightseeing bus got off work, so I had to wait for the No.202 bus to go to the subway station or take a taxi.

4. Qixia Mountain is far from the urban area, so you can take the subway to the surrounding subway stations, and then transfer to the bus or take a taxi.

Regarding staying in Nanjing, travel mainly depends on the subway. It is best to choose to stay near the subway station, which saves time and effort. When booking, it was found that tourists chose the Confucius Temple area the most, followed by Xinjiekou. This time, both hotels chose Atour, one is the Golden Wheel Atour of Confucius Temple, and the other is Atour Xuanwu Lake Store. Atour is known as a humanistic hotel, and photos of Nanjing's beautiful scenery are hung in rooms and corridors. The hotel also has a small library, and guests can borrow books and return them at any Atour hotel. Chain hotels, the service quality is still very reliable. Compared with the two hotels, Golden Wheel Atour is better, newly renovated, with relatively new facilities and convenient transportation. Downstairs is the Confucius Temple subway station.

About the scenic spot Confucius Temple

Confucius Temple is a must for tourists, such as Shanghai Chenghuang Temple, which is very lively day and night. There are many scenic spots in Confucius Temple, all of which are sold separately. If time and budget are limited, pick a few favorite attractions to buy tickets and visit, and look at the rest.

Confucius Temple has a long history. It is a place where famous families live together, with merchants and literati gathered together. Almost every place is mentioned in poetry. After the visit, I reviewed many ancient poems.

Jiangnan Gongyuan is the largest imperial examination room in ancient times. Chen Duxiu, Fang Bao and Tang Bohu all took the imperial examination here, and Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan and other important officials of the Qing Dynasty all served as examiners. Jiangnan Gongyuan is the cradle of talents, and the number of top scholars in China accounts for half. The Imperial Examination Museum is a new museum, which will not open until 20 17. The layout is novel and the exhibits are rich, which is worth visiting.

In front of the Imperial Examination Museum, you can shoot Mingyuan Building.

Zhongshan scenic spot

The official name of Meiling Palace is the official residence of the President of the National Government, and it is known as the first villa in the Far East. Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling once lived here and received distinguished guests. Song Meiling's painting and calligraphy exhibition is now located in the basement, which used to be where servants and guards lived.

The gate of Meiling Palace is not far from the entrance to the Golden Gate of Ming Tomb. The entrance is the most beautiful stone shinto. In autumn, Shinto is crowded with photographers. If you want to see the quiet scenery, you must come in the morning. On both sides of Shinto, there are six kinds of stone beasts, namely lion, muscle, camel, elephant, unicorn and horse, each with two pairs, totaling 24 pieces 12, each kneeling to welcome the attendants.

qixia temple

Qixia Mountain is a good place to enjoy the red leaves in autumn in Nanjing, and it is also a famous maple leaf scenic spot in China. Qixia has beautiful mountains and waters. Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times and stayed in Qixia Temple five times. Thousand Buddha Rock is located in the rocks behind the stupa, and there is also a group of grottoes excavated during the Southern Dynasties, in which more than 500 Buddha statues are carved, called Thousand Buddha Cliff. Among them, the largest Buddha statue is the Infinite Life Buddha, which is as high as 10 meter.

presidential palace

In the Qing Dynasty, the Presidential Palace was the Governor's Office of Liangjiang. On this basis, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom expanded the Heavenly Palace, and 19 12 became the Grand Presidential Palace. The park has both ancient traditional gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in China and modern western-style buildings.

Zichao Building is located at the northern end of the central axis of the Presidential Palace. It was built under the auspices of Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government. Lin Sen is the word Zichao, who served as the chairman of the National Government for the longest time, so people used to call it Zichao Building. Zichao Building is a new national building in China, also known as modern building, which is a typical public administration building in the Republic of China.
