Day 1 in Nanjing! I recommend starting your city walk here!

🗺️Route: Zhan Garden ➡️ Confucius Temple ➡️ Xinanli ⏰Suggested visit time: Half a day 🔸In the afternoon, first visit Zhan Garden, a filming location for "Dream of the Red Chamber". It is the oldest existing Ming Dynasty classical garden in Nanjing 👍🏻. This famous Jiangnan garden, over 600 years old, offers beautiful scenery at every turn, exuding gentleness and poetry 🌸 🔸In the evening, experience the night view of Qinhuai River at Confucius Temple. At 5 pm in Nanjing, the lights are already on. Under the night lights, the banks of the Qinhuai River appear even more ancient and elegant ✨. Listen to some Jiangnan folk songs and leisurely cruise on a painted boat. 🍽️Food Recommendations 📍Hongchu Lane. Nanjing Cuisine ( (Zhongshan South Road Branch) Just on the way to Xinanli from Confucius Temple, this Nanjing restaurant has been open for over ten years and is a favorite among locals. 👍🏻 ☑️ Braised Ningxia Yanchi mutton in a milky white broth, incredibly flavorful♨️, perfect for winter. ☑️ Signature fried shrimp, golden and translucent✨, plump and meaty with a subtle sweetness. ☑️ Special Huai'an soft-shelled turtle, rich and flavorful with a dark sauce, smooth and tender – so delicious! 🔸 Finally, head to Xinanli to experience the relaxed nightlife.
