Anonymous userThe Buddha Palace, the only sacred site in the world enshrining the Buddha's skull relic, is dazzling, magnificent, solemn, and exquisitely beautiful. Its perfect blend of Zen philosophy and art offers a truly awe-inspiring experience.

_We***34Buying tickets through Ctrip was very convenient. When I went the next day, it happened to be during a primary and secondary school autumn outing. The entire zoo was full of primary and secondary school students. They were so cute, even cuter than the animals.

旅行的鱼子酱Zhongshan Scenic Area is very large, mainly divided into the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area, and the Meiling Palace. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area is very large, so it's recommended to take the shuttle bus. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum requires a lot of walking, so you should conserve your energy. Nanjing is all about walking, but the scenery is beautiful, especially in autumn when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow.

yxj003The entrance fee to the Great Bao'en Temple Ruins Scenic Area is 79 yuan. It is a magnificent architectural complex built by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate his birth mother. The temple mainly displays the ruins of halls, galleries, scripture rooms, and a glazed pagoda, offering an immersive experience. The pagoda's exterior is protected by modern thick glass, which I personally feel doesn't quite match the ancient ruins.

It is located in the core area of the Nanjing Confucius Temple-Qinhuai River Scenic Belt. It is also known as Nanjing Confucius Temple, Nanjing Confucian Temple, and Wenxuanwang Temple. It is a place dedicated to Confucius and is China's first national highest institution of learning, one of China's four major Confucian temples, a hub of ancient Chinese culture, and a gathering place for the history and culture of Jinling. It was not only the cultural and educational center of Nanjing during the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also the most prestigious cultural and educational architectural complex in the southeastern provinces.
64.6/5yxj003The Nanjing Museum effectively functions as the Jiangsu Provincial Museum. It is one of the earliest museums established in China, comprising a history hall, an art hall, a special exhibition hall, a digital hall, a Republican era hall, and an intangible cultural heritage hall. Admission is free and by reservation only; audio guides are available for a fee. The exhibition showcasing the Republican era is quite unique and unlike any other provincial museum I've seen.

海边观潮人The Presidential Palace in Nanjing, located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, has witnessed the changes of multiple historical periods, from the Han Prince's Palace of the Ming Dynasty to the Viceroy of Liangjiang Office of the Qing Dynasty, then to the Heavenly Kingdom Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China. It is an important witness to modern Chinese history. The architecture of the Presidential Palace blends Chinese and Western elements, with the exquisite elegance of classical Chinese gardens such as Xuyuan Garden, and Western-style buildings such as the Presidential Palace Gate Tower. It is one of the largest and best-preserved architectural complexes among the modern architectural relics in China.

两轮+四轮The fastest high-speed train from Shanghai takes 90 minutes, followed by a 10-minute subway ride from the station. It's near the Presidential Palace! The exhibition hall has three floors. Luckily, I happened to catch a free 2-hour guided tour by volunteers. There were adults, elementary school students, and middle school students. I learned a lot about the Six Dynasties and benefited greatly. There are also vending machines and shops on the first floor, some with special commemorative items!
94.3/5yxj003Jiming Temple, located on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake, was first built in the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the oldest and most popular Buddhist temples in Nanjing. The temple is small, with a very elegant environment and a constant flow of incense smoke. To the left is an altar for offering food, in front of which is the Maitreya Hall, above which are the Mahavira Hall and the Guanyin Pavilion. The temple is primarily inhabited by nuns, and it is said that the old version of the TV series "The Legend of the White Snake" was filmed here. Currently, some areas are under renovation.

苏州小鱼I was lucky enough to be drawn into the first match of the Jiangsu Provincial Key Cities Football Development Tournament, between Nanjing and Suzhou. I came to Qixia Mountain specifically to watch the game in Nanjing, having paid 80 yuan per person for tickets through Ctrip. Just as I finished browsing, I heard that fans could get in for free, and I instantly felt a pang of regret, like I'd lost a fortune. But thankfully, the scenery of the mountain quickly made up for it. The maple leaves at the foot of the mountain were already in full bloom; the Japanese maple was a vibrant red, like tiny flames, and the trident maple had orange edges. A gust of wind rustled the leaves, carpeting the ground with a layer of crimson. But a few steps up the mountain, the scene changed abruptly: the branches were still a deep green with a hint of yellow, with only a few leaves showing a fiery red tip, as if someone had accidentally set them on fire. There were still many people, crowding at the foot of the mountain, taking photos amidst the vibrant red leaves. Looking up at the half-green mountain peaks, it felt like witnessing the progress of autumn firsthand. This half-red, half-green appearance adds a touch of hope compared to when it was completely red, even making the minor regret of "wasting a billion" seem more interesting. It's said that if you bring your Qixia ticket today, you can go to Tianping for free tomorrow. This collaboration is interesting.
