Nanjing Immersive Ancient Capital Walking Tour Guide

Come to Nanjing and feel the shock of a thousand years in one glance✨ Every corner of this Six Dynasties ancient capital hides endless stories. This trip focuses on an immersive experience, walking the whole way but with no regrets! 🏯DAY 1: A Time-Traveling Citywalk 📍Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum (No. 7 Shixiang Road, Xuanwu District, 8:30-17:00) Get an early start by taking Metro Line 2 to Muxuyuan Station. The plane tree avenue along the way is stunningly beautiful. After climbing 392 steps, the breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Nanjing city is truly unforgettable. 📍Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum (Inside Zhongshan Scenic Area, Xuanwu District, 6:30-18:30) The sacred way on Shixiang Road with autumn ginkgo trees is absolutely gorgeous! Don’t forget to check in at the underground palace site of Zhu Yuanzhang and touch the 600-year-old ancient city wall bricks. 📍Nanjing Museum (No. 321 Zhongshan East Road, Tuesday-Sunday 9:00-17:00) Be sure to book tickets 3 days in advance! The museum’s treasure, the golden cicada jade leaf, is stunningly beautiful, and the naked-eye 3D digital exhibition of "Nandu Prosperity Map" is incredibly impressive. 🍜 Lunch Recommendation: Jinling Kitchen (No. 307 Zhongshan East Road) opposite the museum, where you can enjoy authentic salted duck and duck blood vermicelli soup for about 50 RMB per person. 🌉DAY 2: The Sound of Oars and Lanterns on the Qinhuai River 📍Confucius Temple (Gongyuan Street, Qinhuai District, 9:00-22:00) Though commercialized, it’s a must-visit!
