2025 Nanjing Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

If you go out to play, want to stay near the scenic spot, and are afraid of stepping on the pit Then I will teach you a little trick, try to choose a hotel with a G-funded background Usually, these hotels have their own properties, the decoration is better, the service is more rigorous, and the catering is more guaranteed Moreover, the cost performance Very! High! - For example, this Spring Festival, the Nanjing Bojin Huangpu Hotel where I took my relatives to stay is a typical example of this type of hotel He is in the center of Nanjing, east of Zijin Mountain, north of Xuanwu Lake, and only two kilometers away from Xinjiekou Moreover, as a former old hotel, he has been refurbished Such a good location, such a new hardware, the price is only four or five hundred It's really fragrant! - 🏨Hotel: Nanjing Bojin Huangpu Hotel 🚏Address: No. 2-2 Huangpu Road, Xuanwu District - The hotel has a big background, and the same group has state guesthouses such as Zijin Mountain Villa, and it is also between Zhongshan Scenic Area and Xuanwu Lake, and it can also be said to be a hotel in the Xinjiekou business district - Bojin Huangpu can be said to be a hotel that understands tourism, the naked-eye 3D screen in the lobby shows the four seasons of Nanjing, and there is a digital butler who can answer various questions about traveling in Nanjing Really, many hotels can't do this - The room has been newly renovated, it is a strong Min national style, the hardware configuration is good, and in this location, this price, you can actually start with a basic room type of 30 square meters, which is very surprising - Like this kind of state-owned hotel, in terms of humanistic details, it is also very good at holding guests, such as tea and snacks at the front desk, such as the Spring Festival is approaching, and all kinds of festive atmosphere are pulled up - In general, state-owned hotels have good location, good service, good hardware facilities, and high cost performance This Bojin Huangpu has done it, the price of four or five hundred, it is really fragrant

Niushoushan, one of Nanjing's four major scenic spots, is described in ancient texts as 'the place where spring returns to Jinling, between the mountains and waters of Niushou.' This perfectly captures the beauty of the area. On this trip to Nanjing, we specially arranged a visit to the Foding Palace, which resembles an art museum and enshrines the highest Buddhist relic: the 'top bone relic' of Shakyamuni Buddha. The exterior of the Niushoushan Cultural Tourism Area is quite artistically designed. The palace roof is composed of three-dimensional ridges, resembling the Buddha's top relic. The adjacent hollow grid canopy looks like an open treasure umbrella, providing shelter for the Buddha, full of artistic conception and design sense. The interior space of the palace is tall and deep, with solemn Buddha statues and totems forming thousands of Buddha images. The sacred Buddha's top relic is enshrined here, allowing devotees to pay their respects, which is quite a visual shock! If you have the opportunity to travel to Nanjing, be sure to include Niushoushan Foding Palace in your itinerary. It will surely be an eye-opener.

Life advice: You must come here for a city walk before leaving Nanjing|||You must come to Nanjing. Nanjing in autumn is really worth visiting! ❤️ When you come to Nanjing in autumn, remember to come here for a city walk. This route covers the essence of the old city of Nanjing, and many popular spots are on this route. - ‼️Specific route: Chaotian Palace ➡️ Yuedong Xinmenxi ➡️ Porcelain Tower of Nanjing ➡️ Laomendong ➡️ Xiaoxihu Scenic Area ➡️ Confucius Temple - 📍① Chaotian Palace The ginkgo trees in Chaotian Palace in autumn are a must-see. The golden ginkgo trees and red palace walls are a perfect match. 💯 This is also the location of the Nanjing Museum, and the collections in the museum are worth seeing. - 📍② Yuedong Xinmenxi The most popular "Nanjing" wall is here, specifically in Building 18 of the park, near the parking lot exit. - 📍③ Porcelain Tower of Nanjing A great museum to visit, with a rich collection of exhibits and innovative displays. There are not many visitors, so the experience is great. The book frame at the entrance is a popular photo spot. - 📍④ Laomendong A lively place all year round, with bluestone roads that have the characteristics of Jiangnan alleys. At this time of year, the Chinese tallow trees on the west side of the street are beautiful. - 📍⑤ Xiaoxihu Scenic Area The street is opposite Laomendong, connected to Dayoufang Lane. There are many small literary and artistic shops, which are great for taking photos. - 📍⑥ Confucius Temple A must-visit attraction when traveling to Nanjing. The Imperial Examination Hall, Dacheng Hall, Wuyi Lane, and Qinhuai River all have a strong sense of history. At night, you can experience the "Qinhuai River in the sound of oars and lights" described by Mr. Zhu Ziqing. - This time, I came to Confucius Temple for a city walk with my friends and found that there is also a Grandpa No Tea here, which I love. It is located on Dashiba Street, and you can see it after crossing the Wenyuan Bridge next to the Jiangnan Examination Hall. - I ordered the upgraded version of lychee ice brew. The upgraded version of Phoenix Dancong tea and Zhangpu Wushi lychee juice are perfectly blended, with milk, osmanthus rice wine, and osmanthus jelly added. It is sweet but not greasy, with a richer taste. The pink cup is also upgraded, with a high appearance. I was asked about it all the way while taking photos with it in my hand. It is really beautiful.

Hard core space, wrapped in tranquility The original site of the design hotel in Nanjing Garden Expo was a cement factory. After renovation, the designer combined the original industrial elements with modern design concepts to create an accommodation experience that is both spatially powerful and comfortable. 😍I like the environmental design here, ♨️The public hot spring has a high dome design and arched floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The window faces the bamboo forest, and it is very comfortable to soak in the hot spring. 🍴The restaurant is also my favorite, with a cave-style design. It offers Western food for dinner. The semi-buffet breakfast in the morning is very rich, and the a la carte products are of high quality and delicious. [Awesome] When you come to the Garden Expo, you can also go to Suyun Thirteen Gardens, Hug Paradise, Underwater Botanical Garden and other attractions, which are suitable for vacation.

Because of the saying "Half of Nanjing's history is in Niushou Mountain," I came to Nanjing from Hangzhou. In the changing landscape, you can see a thousand years of history. The Foding Palace is magnificent on a sunny day, but it was drizzling when I visited, so I didn't get a photo of the golden "durian shell." However, Niushou Mountain is also poetic after the rain. This time, I took a new route, "Dongchan Xinlu," which is less well-known and a niche route. From the "Huaxin Gate" in front of the Foding Palace, I walked up the bluestone road with an umbrella, surrounded by the fragrance of osmanthus. The whole road is quiet, with only the sound of birds and insects, which fits the name "Xinlu" (Heart Journey). If this is your first time visiting Niushou Mountain, it's more convenient to enter from the east gate. Take the shuttle bus to Tianque Station, and the escalator will take you to the Foding Palace and Foding Pagoda. If you have time, you can go to the Hilton Nanjing Niushoushan after leaving the park and have a cup of the autumn special "Osmanthus Latte." The lobby bar has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ginkgo forest, which looks even better in late autumn. The whole hotel is very well-designed and perfect for taking photos. 📍: Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone 🚄: It's recommended to take the train to Nanjing South Railway Station, which is closer to the scenic area. 🚇: Take Metro Line S1 to Hohai University Focheng West Road, then take a taxi. You can also transfer to a bus, 755/712/G70, to Niushou Mountain Bus Station. 🎫: Tickets are CNY 145 online one day in advance and CNY 160 on-site on the day. 🧳: There is luggage storage at both the east and west gates.

The mountain will be covered in red and gold leaves 🍁, with the whole mountain a riot of color! Ginkgo, maple, tallow, sycamore, and yellowhorn trees all have their own beauty. You can start planning your autumn visit in late November. Last year, I entered through the South Gate and exited through the West Gate. The South Gate turnstile is right at the entrance, so you don't have to wait in line and can enter quickly! The path up the mountain is mostly wide, with few steps, so you can take your time and take photos without getting too tired. 📝 Autumn Viewing Route: South Gate → Yinma Pool → Qingfeng Sword → Shicha Pavilion → Chunyu Bridge → Shamao Peak → Qixia Temple → Caihong Mirror → West Gate 🚌 Recommended Transportation: There are bus stops at both the South and West Gates, with buses to the subway station. 🎫 Ticket Information: Free entry before 7:00 am. Adult tickets are CNY 80, student tickets are half price. 🕰 Photo taken on December 2, 2023.

· 42-year-old sister｜160cm｜48 kg · Photos｜Travel｜Outfits｜Share the beauty💕 It's really outrageous! I never understood why such a beautiful China Green Expo Park doesn't charge admission! It rained these days, so I thought about taking some photos of the cloudy atmosphere of China Green Expo Park. The sunflowers were blooming, and I didn't expect the sun to come out while I was taking photos. It was sunny and cloudy, and the light was changing. But the photos turned out great in both sunny and cloudy weather. 📸Photo tips 🌻 The Dutch Garden has tulips in spring and sunflowers in autumn. The sunflowers are in the Dutch Garden, which you can navigate to directly. It's right at the entrance. They are in full bloom, but there aren't too many tourists. You can find a good angle to take satisfying photos. 🏡 The second location is the white house in the green residential area where I took photos in spring. Although the daisies are gone, it's still the home in my heart from American TV shows. 👗Outfit tips I bought this Zara Gatsby Wizard of Oz dress in summer but never wore it. The temperature was nice that day, so I finally wore it this year. It's beautiful, but the quality control is really bad. The outer layer shrank after washing. It became shorter than the lining, so I had to shorten the lining. Fortunately, I'm not tall, and the dress was long, so the length is still fine after shortening. 📍Nanjing China Green Expo Park ➊Dutch Garden➋Green Residential Area

When I first saw a photo of this statue, I immediately decided to visit Lishui to see it for myself. The scene is incredibly impressive, and this is probably the most magnificent half-body Buddha statue in Nanjing. This statue is located at Donglu Mountain Guanyin Temple in Lishui and dates back to the Yuan Dynasty, with a long history. The newly built temple is actually a branch of Jiming Temple, facing Zhongshan Lake, with Donglu Mountain behind it, and the source of the Qinhuai River is also here. Whether you use a phone, camera, or drone, whether it's sunny or rainy, you can take great photos here. It doesn't matter what equipment you use or the weather, just take the photos. 📍Location: Donglu Mountain Guanyin Temple 🔥Tickets: Free 🚗1.5-hour drive from the city center 🚅15-minute high-speed train ride from Nanjing South Station to Lishui Station, then a 9-minute taxi ride to the destination. ✅Visiting Route Guanyin Cave - Jingping Square - Thousand-Hand Guanyin - Buddha Statue - Guanyin Zen Temple ✔︎Follow this route, park at the foot of the mountain, walk up the mountain, and then return ✔︎If you're mainly there to photograph the Buddha statue, you can drive directly up the mountain ✔︎Weekends and holidays are crowded, so if you want to capture empty scenery, go early.
