Nanjing 2-Day Itinerary for Solo Female Travelers | Efficiently Exploring Jinling

| Efficiently Exploring Jinling. 🏠 Accommodation suggestion: Recommended near Fuzimiao (close to the subway station) for easy access to sightseeing, food, and photo ops✨ — Day 1⃣: "Mo Du" fan pilgrimage to Gate 3, Xile Convenience Store → Nanjing Normal University Affiliated Middle School → Librairie Avant-Garde → Fuzimiao Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River → Laomendong 📍Gate 3, Xile Convenience Store, Nanjing Normal University Affiliated Middle School: A must-visit for "Mo Du" fans! Meet fellow fans with Wangzai milk and character standees, reliving the youthful energy🍃. The sun was shining brightly that day, and the wind rustled through the trees, making it feel as if the characters truly existed. Tip🙋🏻‍♀️: Navigate to "Jiangsu Road Christian Church" to reach the convenience store directly. 📍Librairie Avant-Garde📚: Write a postcard in the underground parking lot and hang it under the cross in the "World's Most Beautiful Bookstore." 📍Fuzimiao and Qinhuai River at Night: The most vibrant scroll of Jiangnan's night scenery, with painted boats gliding through a thousand years of cultural heritage. Tonight, we are all part of the painting🛶. Snacks are a bit pricey, so try a little of everything. 📍Laomendong: Stumbled upon "Yang Ying's Fire Pit" tavern and listened to rock music with a group of strangers. The atmosphere was fantastic and incredibly healing🎶. — Day 2⃣: Wutong Avenue → Meiling Palace → Music Stage → Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum → Presidential Palace → Jiming Temple → Xuanwu Lake 📍Wutong Avenue: Be sure to arrive early! Fewer people in the morning, with dappled light and shadows perfect for photos! Experience the unique romance of Jinling! 📍Meiling Palace: Tickets🎫 30 yuan/person. The "Far East's First Mansion," appreciate the romance of "trees as chains, palace as pendant." Don't miss the Soong Mei-ling painting exhibition. 📍Music Stage: Tickets 10 yuan/person. It's recommended to go early to watch the circling pigeons🕊️. The pigeons get lazy after they're full in the afternoon😴. 📍Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum: Free but requires reservations. Pay respects at Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum. "A public spirit will rule all under the heaven." Climb the 392 steps and look down at the vast expanse. 📍Presidential Palace: 35 yuan/person. One Presidential Palace, half of the history of the Republic of China. Witness the 600-year history of modern China, a living fossil that once served as the office of the Republic of China government. 📍Jiming Temple: Popular for seeking good luck and cutting off bad relationships. Buy an eighteen-seed bracelet as a souvenir. Vegetarian food on the mountain is worth trying. 📍Xuanwu Lake: Watch the sunset over the Orange Sea at the Lovers' Garden pier🌅. Navigate to the "Ten Mile Long Embankment" for the perfect photo spot. Sit on a bench, enjoy the lake breeze, and experience the 20-minute park effect. — 🍜 Food Exploration ✔️Jin Zhong Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup: A Nanjing specialty, featuring smooth vermicelli noodles with fragrant duck offal in a rich broth. ✔️Pork Skin Noodles: Chewy noodles, crispy pork skin, and a variety of ingredients create a rich and layered texture. ✔️Aunt Xu's Rice Cakes: Salted egg yolk and pork floss qingtuan (green rice balls) are oozing with deliciousness! No lines before 9 am. ✔️An's Osmanthus Sweet Dumplings: Two-flavor dumplings + red bean fermented glutinous rice, a traditional taste passed down for 20 years. ✔️Lao Gulou Soup Dumplings: Duck blood vermicelli + chrysanthemum leaf soup dumplings combo. Remember to slurp the soup first! ✔️Sun's Plum Blossom Cakes: The purple potato filling is so glutinous it stretches. Be careful⚠️, it's hot! ✔️Li Bai Crab: Jasmine flower iced bean curd with crab roe noodles, the ultimate Chinese afternoon tea. 💌 Tips: Remember to book tickets in advance for the Zhongshan Scenic Area through the official WeChat account "Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area." It's recommended to buy a sightseeing bus ticket (10 yuan/person/trip). - 📸 Nanjing is a city where history and everyday life intertwine.
