The zoo is very close to the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area. It is a large park that is still under expansion as the terrain rises. Therefore, some places were under construction this time. There are sightseeing trams (15 yuan one way) and parent-child electric cars for rent. If you have limited physical strength or are traveling with the elderly and children, you can consider using them. There are rich amusement facilities and convenient transportation. The ticket price is still 40 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
I went to Hongshan Zoo purely to check out what this popular zoo has to offer, but ended up being completely lost in the action. If I hadn't had an afternoon schedule, I could have spent the entire day there.
For those who struggle with walking but want to explore the entire zoo, I recommend renting a car.

The tour guide Jinny explained in great detail and earnestly, explaining many important cultural relics to us in a limited time. He also always paid attention to the time for tourists who needed to watch the chime performance so as not to delay the performance. The overall feeling was great and worth recommending!
Admission to the Hubei Provincial Museum is free by reservation. The museum features a comprehensive exhibition hall, a Chu Culture Hall, and a chime bell hall, all showcasing the history and culture of the Jingchu region. The Goujian Hall, King of Yue, has a limited waiting time, so wait times are approximately half an hour.

The area inside is very large and the scenery is pretty good, but the only things you can really see are Ming Xiaoling and the Shinto Road. The rest are man-made attractions, and the ticket price is only worth forty or fifty yuan at most.
The former residence of the President of the National Government, commonly known as the Meiling Palace, is located at No. 9 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Xuanwu District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Built in 1931, it served as one of the Nanjing residences of President Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Soong Mei-ling.
The former residence covers an area of 80,000 square meters, with a construction area of over 2,000 square meters. It comprises a main building, a guardhouse, a garage, and a garden. The main structure, facing north and south, is three stories high and includes a basement. Modeled after traditional Chinese palace architecture, it embodies a blend of Chinese and Western design concepts. It is the largest single villa in Nanjing during the Republican era and one of the most complete surviving Republican-era villas, possessing high historical and artistic value.
On June 25, 2001, the former National Government Site, including the former residence, was designated by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as a fifth-batch National Key Cultural Relics Protection Site.
In 1930, Chiang Kai-shek formally proposed to the Premier's Mausoleum Management Committee the construction of a villa on Xiaohongshan Hill within the mausoleum. On October 24 of the same year, the Mausoleum Management Committee held its 24th meeting, chaired by Sun Ke, and resolved to "do as instructed."
In 1931, construction began on the Xiaohongshan Villa. Designed by Zhao Zhiyou, Director of the Nanjing Municipal Government's Public Works Bureau, Chen Pinshan, Chief Engineer, and built by the Xinjinjikanghao Construction Company, the estimated cost was 261,410 yuan.
In 1932, the Xiaohongshan Villa was completed and designated as the official residence of the President of the National Government.
In 1934, the official residence of the President of the National Government was converted to the Xiaohongshan Official Residence, serving as a resting place for senior officials visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
In 1947, after the National Government returned its capital to Nanjing, the Xiaohongshan Official Residence became Chiang Kai-shek's official residence. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling often visited the residence to rest, worship, and vacation, earning it the nickname "Meiling Palace." In 1950, the former residence of the President of the National Government was taken over by the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Administration as public property and converted into a sanatorium for senior cadres of Jiangsu Province. In 1951, the former residence of the President of the National Government was converted into a sanatorium for cadres directly under the Nanjing Municipal Government, and later into the Dongjiao Hotel. On September 1, 1990, the former residence of the President of the National Government was merged into the Jinling Hotel by the Jiangsu Provincial Tourism Bureau. In March 2012, the former residence of the President of the National Government was re-assigned to the management of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Administration [4].

The earliest museum in China

Is it worth going? Nanjing Museum is definitely worth your special trip to make a half-day! As one of the earliest comprehensive museums created in China, its huge collection system, distinctive special exhibitions and unique cloth exhibition ideas will take you through a journey spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Whether for history lovers or ordinary tourists, this is an indispensable hall for Nanjing. Highlights one by one: the "Treasure of the Town Courtyard" in the historical museum: step into this main exhibition hall, and the long river of time slowly opens. The majesty of the Bronze Age (the bronze of the West Zhou Dynasty is the sage), the magnificent burial ceremony of the Han Dynasty (the silver wisp of the still radiant jade coat), the wind bones of the famous people of the Southern Dynasty (the lifelike "Bamboo Forest Seven Xian and Rong Qiqi Period" molded brick painting)...every treasure is like a star to embellish the long river of Chinese civilization. The art gallery's calligraphy and painting feast: For calligraphy and painting fans, this is a paradise. The authentic paintings and paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties on regular displays are breathtaking, and the oriental aesthetics conveyed by delicate brush strokes are still alive in time. Time flow in the Republic of China Pavilion: step into this re-engraved exhibition hall in the Republic of China block and "cross" in an instant. The railway station, post office, foreign banks, old teahouses, and real old objects create a sense of living and fragrant atmosphere. Every shot is a blockbuster of the times, immersed in it to experience the floating light of Jinling's old dreams. The living heritage of non-legacy: the charm of Jiangsu's native non-legacy blooms here. The exquisite Su embroidery, elegant and pleasant purple sand, the gentle singing of Kunqu... You can immerse yourself in the live pulse and life temperature of traditional culture.
The Nanjing Museum, one of China's three major museums, boasts a rich historical heritage. Its "one academy and six museums," each with its own distinct characteristics, boasts a rich and diverse collection of cultural relics covering a wide range of fields. Its unique architectural style blends tradition with modernity. Here, visitors can journey through time and space to experience the charm of history and culture, a vital venue for the inheritance and promotion of Chinese culture.

Taierzhuang Ancient City boasts a long history and a prime location, with the thousand-year-old Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through it. The city is home to numerous ancient bridges, towers, buildings, ancient roads, customs, and cultural heritage, as well as numerous famous residences and historical memorial archways. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life.
I spent a wonderful weekend in Taierzhuang. There were relatively few people during the day. I encountered various folk performances while walking through the ancient city, and experienced the tranquility and elegance of the houses with small bridges and flowing water. At night, the lights were bright, and there was a different kind of bustle and vitality.

This is another way to enter the museum without an appointment. It is for tourists who don't have an appointment but still want to go to the museum! You can also see the stone carvings inside, which are also cultural relics! Overall it's okay!
I was lucky enough to meet the tour guide, Ms. Xiuxiu, who explained in a detailed and professional manner and patiently answered every question I had. She also enthusiastically recommended many local delicacies. I give a thumbs up to the lovely Ms. Xiuxiu 👍🏻

I fell in love with the Guniujiang Scenic Area the first time I came here. The staff provided great service and the scenery was very beautiful. There were not many tourists on the day I came, and the experience was excellent. Although the weather was hot, I still had a lot of fun visiting.
The hotel is OK. The front desk service attitude is very good. It is very comfortable to stay in. The environment is also very good. I went to the hospital. It is very close to the hospital and convenient. There is also tea available at the front desk. The wolfberry and red date tea is very delicious. It deserves praise.

There are many museums in Nanjing. I went to this museum on a whim. It has rich content and a quiet environment. I also experienced the AR explanation, which is at the forefront of technology. It was more comfortable with fewer people and the experience was strong.
The Six Dynasties Museum is renowned for its unique design and sophisticated exhibition layout. Its exhibitions not only showcase artifacts from the Six Dynasties period but also recreate the elegant atmosphere of the period through modern design techniques. The museum's use of light and shadow and spatial design are particularly outstanding, creating a sense of transporting back to an era of literati and scholars.

After all, I'm from Anhui, and this is a local Anhui attraction quite close to us. Although the journey was tiring, I persevered and persevered, and soon reached the Jianghuai watershed. The view finally opened up, and it was truly breathtaking. From the top, I could see the nearby beacon towers and the mountains and rivers below! It was also quite cost-effective, after all, Lu'an is a wonderful place. However, I personally recommend that after reaching the summit, you absolutely have to take the cable car down. Trust me, you absolutely have to take the cable car, or you'll regret it!
The scenery is beautiful. It took nearly four hours to climb up. Although it was tiring, it was all worth it when I reached the top. It was really blue sky, white clouds, strange peaks and rocks. It really felt like a view of the mountains.

It's worth the experience. I went with my children. Adults are 120cm tall and children over 1.3cm tall are half price. After boarding the boat, there are many people on the deck and limited chairs. For a better experience, I upgraded the cabin and sat at the bow. There are free snacks and drinks. Adults are 88 and children are half price. The whole journey takes one hour.
I've been on the Two Rivers Night Cruise many times. Sitting on the top of the boat, feeling the gentle river breeze, is so refreshing! The night scene on both sides of the river is dazzling and colorful, it's really beautiful! I highly recommend it!
