Nanjing travel guide, tourist attractions, transportation and accommodation

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

History of the founding of Nanjing

The capital history of Nanjing began in the Three Kingdoms period. In 229, Park Sunquan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, and soon moved to the capital to establish a company (formerly known as Nanjing City). Since then, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties (Song, Qi and Liang Dynasties) have all established their capitals 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 somewhat. In the Five Dynasties, Yang Wu and Li Guo rebuilt Jiankang and renamed it Jinling House. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was changed to jiangning house.

In 368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and changed his name to Nanjing. In Qing Dynasty, Nanjing was the capital of jiangnan province, named jiangning house. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was founded, it was changed to Tianjing.

19 12 years, People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, with Sun Yat-sen as interim president and Nanjing as interim capital.

: About traffic

1. Nanjing's scenic spots are relatively concentrated, and the subway is basically covered, which is very convenient, but the ticket vending machine does not support mobile payment, so you should prepare the change below 10 yuan. I found that the bus card can be returned online before, but I consulted the customer service of airport metro Railway Station and was told that the stored-value card does not accept card return, and there is no travel day card and supplementary card, so I need to buy a ticket separately every time I travel.

There is a subway connection between Lukou Airport and downtown, but it takes a long time. On the way back, we got off at 1 line south station and changed to 1 line. We arrived at Lukou Airport in an hour. If we fly, we should reserve more time on the road.

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 to save energy. One way 10 yuan, unlimited time 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 leaving Linggu Temple near six o'clock, sightseeing bus got off work and had to wait for the No.202 bus to go to the subway station or take a taxi.

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.

About accommodation

Traveling in Nanjing mainly depends on the subway. It is best to choose to live near the subway station, which saves time and effort. When booking, tourists choose the most Confucius Temple area, followed by Xinjiekou. This time, two hotels chose Yaduo, one is Golden Wheel Yaduo in Confucius Temple and the other is Yaduo in Xuanwu Lake. Atour is known as a humanistic hotel, and photos of Nanjing's beautiful scenery are hung in rooms and corridors. There is also a small library in the hotel. 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. Confucius Temple subway station is downstairs.
