Today, the editor will prepare a leisurely, literary, romantic and classic 2-day tour of Nanjing for all hikers!
To be honest, Changjiu did not get to this city point about Nanjing before. Although he knew that there were beautiful scenery, food and history and culture, he did not want to get closer to him and have more knowledge about him. But because I accidentally saw a landscape photo on the Internet, I decided to go to Nanjing.
Remember the text introduction of the picture says "A most beautiful necklace inlaid in Nanjing! It is autumn, Wutong Avenue turns from green to yellow, surrounding Meiling Palace in the shape of water droplets, making this giant necklace that looks like a natural sapphire so beautiful!"
So this is Changjiu's initial impression of Nanjing. An emerald palace and the sycamore avenues connecting the gems, as well as romantic legends that belong to that era.
got to the city of Nanjing, and decided to find a free weekend and entered the city in two days.
When I come back here, I will share with you a leisurely, literary, romantic and classic check-in two-day tour route map of Nanjing ~
Now follow Changjiu to enter this ancient, modern, romantic and heavy city.

Check the train tickets in advance, make a reservation, and the trip will begin.
The train crossed the Yangtze River Bridge with a clang and arrived at Nanjing Station at 7 o'clock not long before. After a moment of sleep, we breathe the cool air belonging to the late autumn morning of Nanjing. Because you don’t need to prepare too much for a short trip, a backpack is enough. So after leaving the station, we started to explore the city directly.
Nanjing is not very big, and public transportation is very convenient, and the subway and bus can quickly reach the destination. In addition, bicycles are also recommended choices for urban travel. By the way, you must wear comfortable shoes when traveling. A rampage is always inevitable. The first stop of laughing
: Ancient Jiming Temple
One of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing, and it has been "the first temple of the Southern Dynasty" since ancient times. This ancient Jiming Temple , the first of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties", is our first stop in Nanjing.
The Cherry Blossom Avenue leading to Jiming Temple seems a little lonely in late autumn. However, the bright yellow ancient Jiming Temple gate is enough to give a bright color to late autumn. The exterior of the ancient buildings here is photogenic, don’t miss the beautiful photos. But this is not the entrance to the ancient Jiming Temple scenic area. If you walk far away from here, you will have a toll booth, with a 10 yuan ticket (three incense sticks are given). After that, we can follow the crowd and enter the ancient temple.
Normally browsing for thirty-forty minutes, but Chang Jiu stayed for more than two hours. Look at the photos taken and you will know the reason. Laughing

Second stop: Southeast University (Sipailou Campus)
The school emblem on the railing at the school gate highlights the school's long history and strict school rules
Leave Gugu Jiming Temple and take a bus to Southeast University.
likes to visit college, even if you have no purpose, just wander around the campus. I always feel that there is a youthful and prosperous period that belongs only to that period. Nanjing universities especially like it because they have a unique cultural atmosphere that has been preserved by their "long history".
Southeast University is such a university, with buildings, trees, flowers and plants... all having its own unique flavor. Especially the Renaissance-style auditorium and green fountain - Yongquan Pond are popular "check-in points". In addition to this campus, there are many old buildings: a library, structural laboratory, craft internship, Mei'an and the "Six Dynasties Pine" on the south side of Mei'an, which has a history of more than 1,500 years.

Third stop: Check in the hotel
After lunch, we can go to the hotel to check in. Put down your luggage, make it well and set off before leaving.
Accommodation choices are generally hotels, homestays, and youth hostels. Youth hostels are still the most economical and cost-effective choice, but they are not that convenient, but if you want to feel the atmosphere, you can choose. B&B. In addition to ordinary homes, the most distinctive and attractive thing in Nanjing is the houses built in the Republic of China. However, the price here is not as beautiful as the environment, and you can consider the cost-effectiveness of staying. Finally, there are many hotel choices. Home Inn’s seven-day hotel chain can be safe and comfortable to satisfy. In the area of
, Confucius Temple-Qinhuai River and Xinjiekou are all good choices. The transportation is convenient, or close to the commercial area or the snack street, so there are many options for the conditions.
The fourth stop: Nanjing Museum
Nanjing Museum is very large, including the history museum, art museum, special exhibition hall, digital museum, Republic of China museum and intangible cultural heritage museum. It’s impossible to visit without four or five hours, but we have made the trip tense, so we can only see several exhibition halls in a hurry.
The Republic of China Pavilion must not be missed. The theme of this place is the regional civilization of Nanjing, where it is located, and shows the city appearance and citizens' lives during the Republic of China period. The real restoration of the architectural scenes inside. In the past, there were stores such as train stations, post offices, barber shops, traditional Chinese medicine shops, bookstores, silver houses, etc., among which the furnishings, plaques, utensils, etc. were collected from the Republic of China cultural relics, and each real scene was a reproduction of historical reality.
strolls in the Republic of China Pavilion, we seem to have traveled through time and space and returned to the streets of Nanjing during the Republic of China period.
Here, there is also a photo studio in the Republic of China. Wearing that specific clothes and taking old photos that are exclusively yellowed in that era is also a good way to remember.

Fifth stop: Changjiang Road - Meiyuan New Village -Presidential Palace-1912 block
left the Nanjing Museum, swept a bicycle, and continued on the road.
is optimistic about the general direction of the Presidential Palace, so he rides in the general direction. The beautiful Yangtze River Road is the first to pass through. In this characteristic cultural district, many small villas of the traditional generation are quietly built on the roadside.Among them are Meiyuan New Village, Meiyuan New Village Memorial Hall, and a Six Dynasties Museum, which are also specially recommended.
is not far ahead. This presidential palace where the National Government is located, before coming, said, "The courtyards that combine Chinese and Western styles, Western-style office buildings, and Chinese-style gardens retain the pattern of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, pavilions, towers, and small bridges and flowing water." I feel that it is worth seeing if you have time and don't be afraid of the crowd.

There is a restaurant inside - passing by your whole world, and it is a store opened by Zhang Jiajia. It is a must-visit place for internet celebrities here, and the outside is always crowded with people.
The sixth stop: Christian St. Paul's Church - Green Willow House - Luxi River
Riding a shared bicycle all the way, heading towards Confucius Temple Laomen East .
When you have enough time, compared to taking a ride to your destination directly, you prefer to ride a bicycle in the city and walk slowly. First, you can arrange your walking route more freely, but you can feel the breathing of the city more closely.
Christian St. Paul's Church is a small chapel I met along the way.
The pointed roof exposed in the cracks of the big branches can easily attract people. Then you will find that this small chapel on the roadside is also famous. Through the introduction sign in front of the door, I learned that this is the first formal Christian chapel in Nanjing. Its Gothic architectural style is the earliest existing Christian building in Nanjing. Because there is no weekly activity inside, it cannot be opened to enter inside. The yard is not big, you can leave after a walk.

Stop 7: Laomendong
This is considered a gathering place for traditional folk houses in Nanjing. When I came here, I saw ancient buildings. The ancient buildings, blue bricks and stone tiles, every alley and every alley make people feel like they travel back to the ancient times.
In addition, there is a section of Nanjing's ancient city wall next to the east of the old gate. It is quite interesting to go up.
I came here in the evening and I especially recommend this time. The sun sets and the night begins to rise, and the lights in Laomendong are lit up bit by bit. Suitable for stroll and suitable for taking pictures.
The sky became completely dark, and the doors of the shop on the street became noisy. But compared to the lively Confucius Temple, most of the places here are quite quiet! Most of the streets are literary and artistic shops, photo studios, Pioneer Bookstores, Starbucks and snack shops are all decorated with the style of the city.Commercial but integrated with the ancient street, prosperous but quiet. This neighborhood is really hard to describe in simple terms. I recommend everyone to come here to experience it.

Eighth station: Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt
"Smoke cage cold water and moon cage yarn, night mooring near restaurants in Qinhuai"
"Wild grass flowers beside Zhuque Bridge, Wuyi Lane The sunset slanting"
...
I don't know how many ancient poems describe the story of Qinhuai River here in Jinling.
I thought Confucius Temple was just a scenic spot, but when I came here, I realized that it was centered on Confucius Temple, including Confucius Temple, Jiangnan Gongyuan, Zhanyuan, Bailuzhou, Zhonghuamen, as well as Qinhuai water cruise ships and riverside pavilions from Taoye Ferry to Huaiqiao in Town. Now I feel that the commercial atmosphere is quite heavy, and some attractions in Confucius Temple require tickets, but I didn’t go in.
recommends everyone to go to the Qinhuai River in Confucius Temple at night. The colorful lights are lit up at night, which is more beautiful.
In addition to historical sites, gardens, pleasure boats, market streets, pavilions... This place is even more attractive and prosperous Confucius Temple Night Market, which combines folk customs and local flavor snacks, is a good place for foodies.

. The ninth stop: Snacks that you won’t miss in Nanjing
Nanjing snacks are famous nationwide, ranking first among the four small and small foods in China. In the east of Laomen, there are Nanjing specialty snack bars everywhere.
Nanjing Big Brand Archive , Yin's Chicken Sauce Soup Bun, Lianhu Cake Shop, Luliuju, etc. In addition, there are Qinhuai Baju, duck blood vermicelli soup, Xiaolongbao, boiled dried shredded shreds, Ruyi Hui braised dried, assorted tofu, beef pot stickers , Zhuangyuan beans, salted duck, five-spice eggs, live beads, stinky tofu, Nannong roast chicken, osmanthus candy taro seedlings, Dongshan Laoge and other Nanjing-style snacks.
When we come to Nanjing, we don’t have to look for it. We just walk around the street and stop and taste the special snacks in Nanjing. Then I just wish I could grow a stomach.
But there are so many people in the night market. Many famous shops line up in long queues. If you go to Nanjing to have snacks, it is recommended that you go early and stagger the meal time before you can taste it.
The tenth station: Ming Xiaoling
Take the bus to the gate of the cemetery. Not only because it is cheap and convenient, but also you can meet a group of aunts and grandpas who come here for morning exercises. They will always enthusiastically introduce to you the exclusive scenic spots and old stories of the ancestral heritage.
Zixia Lake is recommended by the old man and aunt who came here to swim in the car. Get off the bus and enter the park and take us here directly, just to catch the birth of the sun. The morning glow shines on the water and the lake is shimmering. There are no signs to attractions, but I am happy just walking around the lake.
Leave Zixia Lake, follow the path and signs to the mausoleum.
Here is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. After six hundred years of change, the wooden structure of the Ming Xiaomao building no longer exists, but the layout of the mausoleum still retains its original magnificent style. You can climb the attic along the steps and look around at the tranquility. Imagine that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma can be used to control each other during their lifetime, which makes people feel very beautiful.
What is more desirable than the mausoleum part is Shinto.
Before coming, I saw photos on the Internet. In late autumn, the forests were dyed with red, yellow, orange, purple, and green layers, interwoven into a thick and colorful oil painting, and it felt like every frame was a blockbuster. But I came in late November, and some leaves had fallen, so everyone can watch out for time to come.
There are some other small attractions and gardens in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, but because Changjiu did not make many strategies, they just took a walk inside casually. Here I recommend a tour route for everyone online, which can be better appreciated.

eleventh stop: Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is regarded as Nanjing's business card, and it is the tomb of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of the democratic revolution.
"The central axis of the mausoleum is symmetrical, from the archway, tomb gate, stele pavilion to the sacrifice hall and tomb chamber, with a height difference of 70 meters. There are 392 stone steps and 10 platforms, all of which are made of white granite and steel and concrete, covered with blue glass tiles. There are also many monumental buildings such as music platform, Xingjian Pavilion, Guanghua Pavilion, Liuhui Pavilion, and Sutra Library near the mausoleum. "
for the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, in fact, it is okay to come or not. If you have time and feelings, come and take a look. If you don’t come here, you won’t be too disappointed.
However, it is especially recommended to come here in late autumn and you can feel the surrounding environment, which is super beautiful.

Stop 12: Meiling Palace
Curiosity about Meiling Palace comes from the "most beautiful necklace" rumored online. But the story of Meiling Palace is much more than that. This Chinese-style castle in the deep mountains contains too many memories of the Jiang couple.
Rent an interpreter to listen to the stories of each part of the building, and explain many interesting stories about the Jiang couple. Even someone who is not interested in the history of the Republic of China, I listened to it with relish.

thirteenth stop: Zhongshan -Wutong Avenue
Zhongshan’s attractions are very rich, but it seems that our eyes have always focused on the Mingxiaoling Mausoleum of Zhongshan, but ignore the beauty of Zhongshan itself.
Late autumn, the roadside is surrounded by towering French sycamore trees, tall sycamore trees, flat cement road, quiet and beautiful. The sun shines on the road through the sparse leaves, and the autumn wind sometimes falls, making everything feel refreshed.Of course, when we walk here, we can also feel "Because you like the sycamore tree, I planted it in the entire capital..." Chiang Kai-shek This unique way of expressing love is really more romantic than that of TV series.
On the way back, I chose to walk slowly on this Wutong Avenue. This also happened to meet another Pioneer Bookstore (Mingyuan Road Store), where his name is Yongfeng Poetry House.
The 14th stop: Nanjing Food Stall
Nanjing Big Brand Stall was founded in 1994 and is a classical hotel brand that Nanjing people showcase their unique Jinling cuisine. When you come to Nanjing, you must come to the place where you can have a meal.
There are many stores in Nanjing, and I especially recommend everyone to come to Zhongshan Mausoleum Store. If you really test it personally, there will be much fewer people than other families.
couplet lamps, wooden tables and chairs, porcelain pots and cups, ancient and elegant charm is everywhere filled with traditional Chinese folk customs. After reading the introduction, it is a recreation of the old appearance of teahouses and restaurants in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
points on the signature ancient sugar taro seedlings, wine-stewed red bean Lantern Festival, Tianwang roast duck buns, stewed lion head and Maoxuwang. Be in it and slowly taste the taste of time and taste the exclusive taste of Nanjing.
The fifteenth stop: Qingliangshan
Back to the hotel, check out at two o'clock, and continue walking on your backpack.
This is located in Qingliang Mountain in the west of Nanjing City. It is known as the "Seven Dynasties Sights". It is a famous historical and cultural garden. The most important thing to come here is the "Ginkgo Valley" in the garden, which is currently the largest ginkgo forest in Nanjing. Whenever autumn begins, ancient ginkgoes are scattered all over the ground, so they must not be missed.
Qingliang Mountain is next to a section of ancient city wall in Nanjing. The famous scenic spots and historical sites on the mountain can be found everywhere. The plaque of "Deqing Hall" was mentioned by the later master Li Yu . In addition, there is an orange walled temple in Qingliang Mountain, which is especially suitable for autumn. Promise me, I will definitely find it and take a photo.
The mountain is not high, so it is very good to walk slowly along the road in the afternoon.

Clean Liangshan, walk two roads not far away is Hehai University (Xikang Road Campus). Knowing that I was coming here is probably the spiral staircase in "To Youth". The specific location is in the library of Hohai University. Tell the doorman and just go in gently.
Nanjing University and Nanjing Normal University are also popular because of "To Youth", and many people took photos and checked in the open space in front of the building. Changjiu did not take a photo, so he quietly walked through the campus and left.
Stop 17: Pioneer Bookstore (Wutaishan Store)
Following the Pioneer Bookstore in Laomendong and the Pioneer Bookstore in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, today we finally came to the Pioneer Bookstore main store (Wutaishan Store) near Nanjing University.
This place was once reported by CNN, which praised the Pioneer Bookstore as "China's Most Beautiful Bookstore", was rated as the top ten most beautiful bookstores in the world by the BBC BBC, rated as "the twelve most beautiful bookstores in the world" by the British Guardian, 17 "the coolest bookstores in the world" by CNN, and the top ten bookstores in the world by National Geographic. I always thought it was a gimmick before, but when I came here, I would fall in love with it. There are various books for sale in
, the original version is second-hand. There are also cultural and creative sales of stationery postcards, and there is also a coffee shop in the bookstore.
The fragrance of books and coffee is a good place for literary youth.

Stop 19: Xuanwu Lake
The time to leave is very close, and I returned to the near the train station.
In the night, I finally looked at the scenery of Xuanwu Lake Park. There was no bright light as I imagined. The lake water turned into a calm ink black, and only the lights around the lake were lit up.
Late at night, I took the same clanging train as when I came, and ended my two-day walk about Nanjing.
Conclusion
Nanjing, a city with many stories, a city that I still want to go after I go.
There is a chance in the future and I want to have a cup of beauty soup in Meiling Palace when I have late autumn, and then listen to the stories of the past told by local old people.
