Very worth visiting four attractions, but to plan a lot of time and legs and bones, one day to walk all four attractions is very strenuous, so if the admission ticket  can have a two-day use period even better. Remember to buy unlimited use shuttle tickets as soon as you enter. ¥30 Unlimited pick-up and drop-off, finally delivered to the subway station. Because each attraction is far apart, it is impossible to walk there at all. If you don't have enough time, you can go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Fantastic and huge museum. Free but you must reserve tickets in advance on wechat (very difficult, make sure to do it 7 days in advance as they get booked up). Very little English, bring a translator app. I spent 6 hours here, could have spent more. There's 3 buildings:1. North building has 6 amazing galleries of regional history from dinasours and prehistory through Qing. Highlight of Jaingsu. 2. West building is mostly just 20th cent artists (skippable imo), but the basement is a huge recreated Republican-era Nanjing Street. Every storefront is an actual shop you can buy things at. Feels a bit like a commercialized version of the Japanese Edo museums. No historical artifacts or interpretation - 100% Disney-style, but still highly recommended. There's even a theater with live performances (English subtitles).3. Northwest buildings holds 15 temporary exhibition galleries. The first floor seemed to hold the blockbuster one (Oct 2025 was a huge encyclopedic gallery of Persian artifacts, really delightful). Higher floors seemed to hold thematic displays of Ming/Qing artifacts, likely ftom the Republican-era collection left behind in 1949. There's a cafe on the top floor along with a nice terrace.There's paid luggage storage before entry, may need a Chinese phone number though.

It feels like this is a special museum of history and culture. There are fewer people and more cultural relics, and it is quiet! ! No reservation, the ticket is only 30! Mainly speaking the historical stories of the six dynasties of Nanjing from the beginning of the 3rd century to the end of the 6th century in Dongwu, Dongjin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen. Just next to the presidential palace, after going to the presidential palace, you can go to the Six Dynasties Museum! It feels like on Tao Wei, it can be seen that people in the Six Dynasties like hairstyles and costumes~~

This tour was so worth it! Our guide couldn't stop talking the entire time, even after our activity lasted over two hours. Her knowledge was unfathomable, and her enthusiasm for sharing interesting anecdotes was second to none. We learned so much in those two hours. Thank you so much for this tour! I highly recommend it!

Such an interesting museum. A bit inconvenient if you travel with strollers and/or wheelchairs.

This was such a beautiful garden. A bit exhausting if you have small children who don’t like walking so much or the heat, but overall it was quite nice.

You must not miss Jiangning Weaving Museum when you come to Nanjing! This museum built on the former site of Jiangning Weaving was designed by architect Wu Liangzhu, a perfect blend of modern and traditional garden style. The museum shows the historical changes of Jiangning weaving, and the exquisite Yunjin products are exquisite and satisfying to my eyes. The Red Mansion Mengqu Exhibition Hall is a deep presentation of the charm of this literary giant, and the super-restored classic scene, really amazing! Tired of shopping, you can also take a walk in the garden area and feel the poetry of the Jiangnan water town. Come here, it’s really full of harvest, it’s worth it.
