Nanjing three-day tour route

Introduce the three-day self-help tour route in Nanjing. The choice of tourist attractions and the arrangement of most routes are very different from the traditional group tour. All the routes are suitable for first-time visitors to Nanjing. All the above arrangements are calculated from the second day after arriving in Nanjing. If the arrival time is earlier, it is still feasible, otherwise it is necessary to partially adjust the itinerary. Because there are many combinations of tourist attractions in Nanjing, it is impossible to cover everything. I only list the scenic spots that I think are representative for your travel reference, and then arrange and combine them according to my actual situation.

On the first day, Jiming Temple, Xuanwu Lake (or Nanjing TV Tower in Gulin Park, Huju Road, and National Defense Science and Technology Park, Mochou Lake)

The purpose of coming to Nanjing is to relax, so don't make travel plans for yourself, just do what you can and follow your own state.

Jiming Temple is not as big as expected. This Jiming Temple, known as the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, can be visited in 15 minutes. It seems to be "the temple is not big, but it is famous". This Jiming Temple, once cultivated by Emperor Liang himself, has a proper layout and is no different from other places. When you climb the Jiming Temple Tower, you can see Xuanwu Lake not far away, separated by a long, endless protective wall, which is foggy. A pool of water in Xu Ruo is a feast for the eyes, so the next stop is Xuanwu Lake.

Xuanwu Lake is bigger than expected. It is one and a half times bigger than the Summer Palace in Beijing, but slightly smaller than the West Lake in Hangzhou. The whole park is connected by five continents: Yingzhou, Liangzhou, Cuizhou, Zhou Huan and Lingzhou. There are few tourists in the park, and many citizens fly kites and fish in the park. Although Xuanwu Lake is famous, it is not as glamorous as the Summer Palace, nor as romantic and affectionate as Xizi Lake. With the Changming wall outside the lake, it is unspeakable loneliness. They are like a pair of lovers watching each other, living together, knowing each other, and witnessing the vicissitudes and prosperity of the ancient city, tradition and modernity, ups and downs, and never changing.

The next day, Mochou Lake, Zhonghua Gate, Yuhuatai and Presidential Palace.

Mochou Lake said that Nanjing is the hometown of daughters, so we have to mention Mochou Lake. The name of this melancholy lake is really related to a woman's story. It's a pity that this story has an expected beginning, but it doesn't have a happy ending, which is somewhat regrettable. But what is more regrettable is that during this period, the park is engaged in the maintenance of ancient buildings, so I can't understand the legendary "Mochow misty rain", the first of the 48 scenic spots in Jinling, so I can only wander around the park casually.

Take a bus outside the park gate and you can reach the Zhonghua Gate directly. Although there are many city heads in Nanjing, the scale of Zhonghua Gate is undoubtedly the most prominent one among these many city heads. It consists of a city gate and three clay pots. At that time, the military scale of the Ming Dynasty was already obvious. Standing on the top of the high city overlooking the earth, I really feel that I am a hero, full of lofty sentiments and reverie, and it is a good place to be in a daze.

Yuhuatai is at the south of Zhonghua Gate 1 km, which is the solemn and stirring Yuhuatai. It makes people feel solemn when they enter the door. Although the origin of the ancient Yuhuatai is because the speech of Master Guang Yun here touched heaven like rain, a modern disaster has given the Yuhuatai more new meanings. The whole Yuhuatai covers a very large area. If the travel time is not enough, it is not recommended to travel here. This place is more suitable for mourning and nostalgia. For tourists, the mood is a bit heavy.

The presidential palace takes the tourist route at the entrance of Yuhuatai, which can go directly to the presidential palace. The whole presidential palace looks extraordinary. Cream-colored western architecture looks good at first glance. After all, it was the office building of the interim government at that time. People who are interested in history may be interesting, but like most tourists, they just walk around the fields like me without much feeling.

On the third day, Linggu Temple, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Ming Mausoleum

To sum up, the third day's trip is a day of grave-sweeping. First, I went to Linggu Temple to sweep the graves of Kuomintang soldiers, then I visited the tomb of Sun Yat-sen, the great father of our country, and finally I visited the tomb of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. These three scenic spots are very close, so you can play all the way from far to near. When you come to Nanjing, you must come to these three places. It's not that these three tourist attractions are overwhelming, but if you don't come here, then Nanjing is basically the same as never being here. As for the experience, each has its own merits. Personally, I think the Shinto of the Ming Tombs must be seen, even more representative than the big mound on the top of Baoshan in the Ming Tombs. However, it needs to be reminded that the Shinto in the Ming tombs and the scenic spots in the tombs are not together. Many people will miss Shinto, but the ticket fee is included. In addition, there is a path leading directly from the Ming tombs to Xiazi Lake. If you have enough time, you can visit together, without extra tickets, and the scenery is good.

Travel tips

Transportation: Nanjing is a small city with many tourist routes and direct access to scenic spots. The transfer between scenic spots can be completed through tourist routes, and the bus stop sign is clear at a glance, which is very convenient.

Tickets: 5 yuan of Jiming Temple, 25 yuan of Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake 15 yuan, 35 yuan of Zhonghua Gate, 35 yuan of Yuhuatai, 45 yuan of Presidential Palace, Linggu Temple, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and 80 yuan of Ming Mausoleum.

Residence: consider the periphery of Huju Road south of West Railway Station (Dinghuaimen, Caochangmen, etc.). ), geographically speaking, it is the city center, but from the heart of Nanjing people, it is a suburb, and the price is good, hehe. The key is convenient transportation.
