Great, although it is artificial, but it is really shocking, there is a car to pick up the mountain, there is also an elevator to go up, very relaxed and friendly. The scenery on the tower is very good, you can see the panoramic view of Nanjing, overall it is a very good trip.

You have to come to Nanjing to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. It is amazing. It is so beautiful and worth visiting. Visit the Confucius Temple during the day and enjoy the lanterns at night. Bring your family along. Everyone has a great time. It is a good trip.

There are so many people, so lively [celebration] [rose] [rose] ​ unexpected [smiling] [insidious] ​ people doubt, what kind of festival is this [embarrassing] ​ Nanjing's cultural tourism is really good [scary] ​ there are many people, but the order is very good [smiling] ​ is a good waste of waste feet 🦶 [embarrassing] [] Qinhuai Old Street. The small bridge and flowing water are full of ancient sounds in the south of the Yangtze River. Many cultural and creative shops around are also very meaningful.

Ok, very good, there are more people. I can't go on the holiday next time. It takes a long time to queue up and I have to queue everywhere. Nanjing's rice is delicious, soup dumplings, duck blood fans, especially the cherry duck is the best to eat.

Nanjing Museum

A cultural feast that travels through time and space - impressions of visiting the Nanjing Museum Walking into the Nanjing Museum is like diving into the long river of history and starting a wonderful journey spanning thousands of years. As soon as you step into the gate, the History Museum welcomes visitors from all over the world with its solemn and solemn atmosphere. Here, from the stone tools of ancient times to the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then to the bamboo slips and silks of the Qin and Han dynasties, you can see the civilization process of Jiangsu Province for five thousand years. The silver thread jade clothes are quietly displayed, telling the luxury and mystery of the nobles of the Han Dynasty; the Yuan blue and white Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon plum vase, the delicate brushstrokes and bright colors make people sigh at the superb skills of the ancients, which is really worthy of being the treasure of the town. The special exhibition hall often brings surprises, and each exhibition has a different theme, allowing people to appreciate the charm of different cultures. The last time I went there, I was fortunate to enjoy a tour of works by foreign art masters, which collided with the treasures in the domestic collection to create a different spark. The Republic of China Pavilion is not to be missed. Stepping into it is like traveling back to the Republic of China era. Retro signs, rickshaws, old platforms, and street taverns, every detail is full of a sense of age. Girls in cheongsams shuttled through it, and every shot was a blockbuster. Here, history is no longer boring text in books, but a vivid and tangible life scene. The digital museum is full of technology, and multimedia interaction makes the cultural relics "alive". Children have a lot of fun in it and can learn about historical knowledge in fun. In the art museum, there are all kinds of artworks such as calligraphy and painting, ceramics, and sculptures, showing the elegance of ancient literati and the exquisite craftsmanship of craftsmen. The Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum inherits the folk skills of Jiangsu, paper cutting, embroidery, sugar painting, etc., each of which is amazing. However, the popularity of the Southern Museum is too high, so you must make an appointment in advance on the WeChat public account, otherwise you may be turned away. The museum is large, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. If you want to learn more about the stories behind the cultural relics, you may wish to hire a tour guide or rent a guide. There are limited dining options in the museum, but you can also bring your own snacks to replenish your energy. Nanjing Museum is a fusion of history and modernity, a treasure house of knowledge, and a palace of art. Every visit can bring new insights and gains. I strongly recommend everyone to experience this cultural feast!

Combining scenery, architecture and cultural history, it is worth seeing. Especially when you board the Grand Pagoda, you can see the China Gate City Building, the Qinhuai River outside and the Laomen East Cultural District. The museum will have special exhibitions from time to time, you can pay attention to the official information

Qinhuai River Boat Tour

137***93
You may be asking about "Qinhuai River painted boats". Here is a detailed introduction about it: Historical origin • One theory is that painted boats originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established Nanjing as the capital, he went on a tour incognito and arrived at the Qinhuai River. He saw the pleasant scenery on both sides of the river, but unfortunately there were no yachts in the river. Since then, painted boats have begun to flourish. • Another theory is that during the Six Dynasties, the northern princes and nobles moved south. In order to reflect their status symbols, they combined the northern sedan chairs with the southern boats to form painted boats. Tour experience • Tour route: The inner Qinhuai River tour boarded the boat at the Confucius Temple Cruise Terminal, which is divided into the east line and the west line. The east line is recommended and the tour takes about 40 minutes. • Scenic spots along the way: You can enjoy more than 40 scenic spots and landscapes such as the former residences of celebrities, historical sites, famous bridges, and famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River along the coast by taking a painted boat, such as Dongshuiguan Ruins Park, Wu Jingzi's former residence, Taoye Ferry, Bailuzhou Park, etc. • Tour time: It is recommended to visit at night, when the lights on the ancient buildings with white walls and black tiles on both sides are on, and the red lanterns under the eaves are reflected in the water of Qinhuai River, as if people travel back to the era of "Six Dynasties Gold Powder". Ticket information • Adult ticket: The retail price of the night tour of the outer Qinhuai River painting boat is 100 yuan, and the discount price starts at 39 yuan; the night tour of the inner Qinhuai River painting boat is 100 yuan/person on the east line and 140 yuan/person on the west line. • Package ticket: The family package ticket (one adult and one child) for the night tour of the outer Qinhuai River painting boat is 150 yuan at the retail price, and the discount price is 58 yuan and other combinations. Surrounding facilities • Transportation: You can choose to drive by yourself, Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway-Zhongshan Gate Exit-Go straight along Zhongshan East Road, pass Hanzhong Road, turn right into Huju Road and go straight, turn left into Caochangmen Street, go straight for 800 meters, turn left into Shitoucheng Road, and continue to go forward to arrive. There are also many bus routes to reach the area. For example, you can take the No. 1 subway from Nanjing Railway Station, get off at Gulou Station after 3 stops, and then transfer to No. 11 and get off at Caochangmenqiao Station after 5 stops. • Food: You can taste Nanjing specialties such as salted duck, duck blood vermicelli soup, osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, etc. • Accommodation: There are various hotels and homestays nearby to choose from, which is convenient for tourists to rest.

On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen was sworn in as the Interim President of the Republic of China. The history of the presidential palace has since opened. It is not only a witness to history, but also a heritage of culture. 📍 Address: No. 292 Changjiang Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing, this is not only the intersection of history, but also the gathering place of culture. 🌳 Covered an area: about 50,000 square meters, every inch of land carries a rich historical story. ⏰ Open time: 8:30~ 17:00 (closed on Monday), friends who want to visit remember to avoid Monday. 🌟 Attraction level: National AAAA-level tourist attractions, every scenery here is worth your taste. 🎫 Ticket price: 40 yuan/person, half price for students and people over 60 years old, free for people over 70 years old, fair fares allow more people to have the opportunity to contact history.

Be sure to wear comfortable sneakers!!! Walk 30,000 steps. You can ride a shared bike up the mountain, don't be cheated by the electric bike rental at the foot of the mountain. Spending money is a small matter, the main thing is that you are given a time limit, and if you exceed the time limit, you will be charged more for each bike. It is better to share a bike or directly spend 30 yuan per person to take the shuttle bus.

The Six Dynasties Museum is worth a visit. Children can learn a lot. Some things are not available in the Nanjing Museum. You can also see the day of the tile end on the first floor underground, which is very interesting. The cultural and creative products are also very good, and the chocolate is delicious. Don't forget to bring a notebook for stamping.
