I was lucky enough to get a ticket for the night tour of the Nanjing Museum and had a unique museum tour. The night tour coincided with the special exhibition "The World of the Ming Dynasty," which takes Zheng He's voyages to the West as the main line and vividly shows the economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West in history. It is worth seeing. In the limited time, I focused on a few important artifacts in the special exhibition: the golden beast, the golden cicada and jade leaf, the red plum vase with the pattern of the three friends of winter, the brick painting of the seven sages of the bamboo forest and Rong Qiqi, etc. Each one is breathtaking, and I deeply felt the splendor of the Ming Dynasty and the integration of Eastern and Western cultures. In addition, although the time was short, I still hurriedly browsed some of the permanent exhibitions. Compared with the Six Dynasties Museum, the permanent exhibitions of the Nanjing Museum are slightly lacking in exhibition layout, and it feels more like a simple pile of cultural relics. However, given the richness and preciousness of the Nanjing Museum's collection, this shortcoming seems to be no surprise. Overall, although the night tour was limited in time, it was very rewarding. I look forward to having the opportunity to visit the Nanjing Museum again and savor the unique charm of each artifact.

Jinling, Yingtianfu, Nanjing This is my second time in Nanjing, and I have updated many memories. This city is romantic in any season. As a mature tourist city, there are too many guides, so here are some tips for tourists. 🔹It's already very cold at the end of December. As a person from the northeast (Liaoning) who is most afraid of the cold, I feel that the combination of coat and sweater is not enough at night. 🔹Laomendong is more beautiful than Confucius Temple, quieter, and the shops are more aesthetic. Hidden in the flower shop, Shiwangfu is a secluded place with delicious food and good service, and it is not too expensive. 🔹To experience the fireworks, you can go to Houzaimen Market, where any small shop's old duck vermicelli/pot stickers/fermented rice balls are delicious. 🔹Zhongshan Scenic Area is too big (Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Wutong Avenue, Linggu Temple, Music Stage). If you want to visit all of them, you need to leave at least one day. We only visited Meiling Palace and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum this time, and it took more than 2.5 hours. 🔹The leaves on Wutong Avenue have almost fallen, and the atmosphere is still good, but the photos are a bit miserable, so be prepared. 🔹It is particularly difficult to take a taxi in Zhongshan Scenic Area, and the order will be passively canceled, and it is not certain which road will be temporarily closed, so leave enough time. 🔹Yihe Road is also beautiful at night, with a vague beauty that reveals a unique beauty, and you can always believe in the Republic of China era. 🔹The city wall is worth a visit. Look north to Xuanwu Lake and south to Jiming Temple. Why is my mind full of "The Ming Dynasty Under the Microscope"? Jiming Temple and Jiefangmen City Wall can be visited together, as they are next to each other. 🔹Nanjing Museum is easy to book in the off-season and is worth a visit. 1.5 hours is only enough to visit the History Museum. The recent internet-famous pink stove is not here. 🔹Avoid the Little Chef at Xuanwu Lake, the vegetables are all rotten leaves, and I found a hair after two bites, which made me sick. I can barely accept fly restaurants or home-cooked restaurants, but I can't accept such a big chain being so dirty. 🔹If you take a train at Nanjing South Railway Station, if the ticket gate is a large number, it is close to the South Square. 🔹There are concentrated pick-up and drop-off points for online car-hailing. If the destination is particularly congested, you can change the location accordingly, and walking a few more steps may be faster than taking a car.

🗺️When you open the 5,000-year-old history of China, Nanjing is sure to leave a mark. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties (Wu, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen) has given this city a rich cultural heritage. When I was young, I didn't have much of a feeling for it, but now that I'm back, I can finally appreciate the charm of Jinling City. 🏛️Some say that going to a local museum is the fastest and most accurate way to get to know a city. When you walk into the Nanjing Museum, you can feel the city's emphasis on culture and education. ⛩️"Visiting Nanjing is like visiting an antique shop, where there are traces of time everywhere." Just like Jiming Temple, it is said that "there are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many buildings are in the misty rain." Hundreds of temples in Jiangnan have long since fallen into disrepair with the change of dynasties, but the first temple of the "480 temples" still stands tall, forming a wonderful contrast between the old and the new, the ancient and the modern, with the modern skyscrapers in the city of Nanjing. 🏯The magnificent Ming City Wall is a beautiful postcard of Nanjing. If you look closely, you will find that each brick and tile has its own unique mark, carrying a piece of history and evoking endless reverie about the ancients. 🎇When it comes to the beauty of Nanjing, the poetic and picturesque Qinhuai River is a must-see. The banks of the Qinhuai River at night are the liveliest places in the city, with the shimmering river and the colorful scenery, which have intoxicated many literati and talented scholars. 🗿Half of the history of the Republic of China is in Jinling City. In 1912, Mr. Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the provisional president of the Republic of China at the Presidential Palace in Nanjing. His favorite inscription was "The world is for the public." His ideals, goals, and spirit are all condensed in these four words, and he fought for them all his life. ⛰️In 1925, Mr. Sun passed away and was buried in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Purple Mountain. The tomb faces south, and from a high vantage point, you can see the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. 🌿Nanjing is romantic, while other ancient capitals condense history into palaces, Nanjing integrates history into nature. Nanjing is also tragic because there is a place here that records the pain. 🕯️During the War of Resistance Against Japan, 300,000 compatriots in Nanjing were massacred, leaving a permanent scar in the hearts of the Chinese people. But even with an unbearable past, Nanjing is still as gentle as water, welcoming visitors from all over the world with open arms. 🌆This city, with its rivers and mountains, has a unique charm that has endured the vicissitudes of time and the glory and shame of a thousand years, and how can one not be fascinated by it?

Nanjing is my favorite city in 2024, whether in spring or late autumn and early winter. Of course, mid-winter is also beautiful, and Nanjing becomes Jinling when it snows. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to visit. Here's a 3-day 2-night itinerary for you. I hope you can have a beautiful dream of Jinling with it. First of all, as one of the four ancient capitals of China and a mega city along the Yangtze River, Nanjing is rich in natural, cultural, and historical resources. There are so many attractions that you may not be able to visit them all in a week. Fortunately, the core attractions in Nanjing are relatively concentrated, so you don't have to worry about traveling too far. You can get to most places by taxi for less than CNY 25, and the subway can meet 90% of your needs. Day 1 Arrival—Xuanwu Lake Park—Jiming Temple City Wall—Confucius Temple Day 2 Exit the subway at Muxuyuan Station and head to Wutong Avenue—Music Stage—Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum—Linggu Temple—Xinjiekou (or Chaotian Palace) Day 3 Nanjing Museum—Return Note: 1️⃣ Xuanwu Lake Park is very large. You can enter from Xuanwu Gate, walk along the lakeside path, turn right, and cross the bridge to Jiming Temple. 2️⃣ Be sure to visit Jiming Temple at night. It's too ordinary during the day. Refrigerator magnets are cheap here, usually CNY 15 for 2. 3️⃣ If you want to see flocks of pigeons flying at the Music Stage, the earlier the better. The pigeons won't move if they're full. 4️⃣ It's recommended to take a taxi back to the city from Linggu Temple, otherwise you'll have to walk for a long time. 5️⃣ You don't need to buy a ticket if you don't enter Dacheng Hall at Chaotian Palace. Dacheng Hall is now the Nanjing Museum (different from Nanjing Museum) exhibition, and a ticket costs CNY 25. 6️⃣ Be sure to book tickets for Nanjing Museum one week in advance, especially on weekends. 🛏️Accommodation: Popular places to stay in Nanjing are Xinjiekou, Xuanwu Lake, and Confucius Temple. Personally, I recommend Xinjiekou, as it's the core area of Nanjing with convenient transportation, food, and shopping. I stayed at the local brand Shuxiang Shijia in Nanjing this time. There are two branches in Nanjing. Choose the Deji Plaza branch if you want to go shopping, or the Sanyuan Lane branch if you want to eat. Sanyuan Lane is surrounded by various internet-famous foods. There are all kinds of authentic foods on Honggong Temple, Mingwa Lane, and Daxianglu Street. The best Yazi Jin Hongxing we had in Nanjing was found here. 🍗Food: Nanjing food is mainly light. We always go to Ma Xiangxing, a century-old restaurant, when we visit. Their snacks are better than their stir-fried dishes. The Chinese restaurant at Golden Eagle International is also good. The duck at Jin Hongxing mentioned earlier is a must-try in the morning, otherwise, you'll have to wait in line. The Aozao Noodles at Shuxiang Shijia are also good.

Phoenixes fly over the Phoenix Terrace, the terrace is empty and the river flows on. The flowers and plants of the Wu Palace are buried in the secluded path, and the clothes and crowns of the Jin Dynasty have become ancient mounds... Nanjing is Nanjing, and also Jinling, Jiankang, and Shitou City... As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Nanjing has a profound historical heritage.
