Nanjing, known as "a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River and the imperial capital of Jinling," truly allows you to appreciate its profound history and unique charm only when you set foot on this land. The heritage of the ancient capital of six dynasties has been deposited in the long river of time, creating a unique charm that makes people linger. Next, I will share a 3-day, 2-night Nanjing travel route to take you to experience the beauty of Nanjing in depth. Itinerary Day 1: Laodongmen - Confucius Temple - Qinhuai River These three places are closely linked, making it very convenient to visit. The trumpet creepers in Laodongmen bloom wantonly. In the historical and cultural district, a large number of historical buildings have been well preserved. Strolling through it, you can have a panoramic view of the district's style that integrates historical culture, leisure and entertainment, and tourism landscape. Taking photos here is super easy. Then go to the Confucius Temple to feel the lively atmosphere here. When night falls and the lights come on, the night view of the Qinhuai River is beautiful, just like the charming Qinhuai River in Zhu Ziqing's "The Qinhuai River with the Sound of Oars and Lights." At this time, you may wish to take a cruise ship, stay overnight on the Qinhuai River, and feel the unique comfort. Day 2: Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area - Lingyuan Road Sycamore Avenue - Meiling Palace - Music Terrace - Yanque Lake - Nanjing Museum Get up early and go to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Scenic Area.

The stone beasts on both sides of the road are solemn and sacred, as if telling the story of history. After leaving the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, you will arrive at Lingyuan Road Sycamore Avenue. "The tree is a sycamore tree, and the person is the sweetheart." It is romantic and artistic, and it is a must-see place to visit in Nanjing. Then visit Meiling Palace, this exquisite official residence witnessed a legendary past. Then go to the Music Terrace to watch the doves flying and feel the beauty of agility. Yanque Lake is like Monet's water lily pond. The blooming lotus flowers, the free sika deer and swans constitute a beautiful picture, and you can enjoy this beautiful scenery without buying a ticket.
