M33***13A taxi ride from Nanjing South Railway Station to Niushou Mountain costs about 20 yuan; it's not far. The scenic spot is upscale and grand. Although it was late November, the autumn leaves were still incredibly vibrant, making the mountains look like a spilled palette of colors. Highly recommended.

CP狗狗I went there specifically to see the famous monkey Dudu, and it certainly didn't disappoint! I saw Dudu, along with many other fun little monkeys. I also saw Kapibala and koalas; they looked like a lot of fun, and I had a great time.

_cm***31The scenic area is huge! Even after mentally preparing for at least 20,000 steps, I was still shocked to find myself racking up 30,000 steps in a day! The bald cypress trees at Yanque Lake were mesmerizing, like an oil painting, in the autumn morning light. At Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, listening to history was overwhelming. The music stage was so romantic; I sat down, slowed down, and enjoyed a moment of relaxation. Time was too short; I didn't get to visit Meiling Palace yet. Maybe another time!

Anonymous userNanjing Confucius Temple is located on Gongyuan Street on the north bank of the Qinhuai River in Qinhuai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, west of Jiangnan Gongyuan. It is located in the core area of the Nanjing Confucius Temple-Qinhuai River Scenic Belt. It is also known as Nanjing Confucius Temple, Nanjing Confucian Temple, and Wenxuanwang Temple. It is a place dedicated to Confucius and is China's first national highest institution of learning, one of China's four major Confucian temples, a hub of ancient Chinese culture, and a gathering place for the history and culture of Jinling. It was not only the cultural and educational center of Nanjing during the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also the most prestigious cultural and educational architectural complex in the southeastern provinces.

yxj003The Nanjing Museum effectively functions as the Jiangsu Provincial Museum. It is one of the earliest museums established in China, comprising a history hall, an art hall, a special exhibition hall, a digital hall, a Republican era hall, and an intangible cultural heritage hall. Admission is free and by reservation only; audio guides are available for a fee. The exhibition showcasing the Republican era is quite unique and unlike any other provincial museum I've seen.

海边观潮人The Presidential Palace in Nanjing, located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, has witnessed the changes of multiple historical periods, from the Han Prince's Palace of the Ming Dynasty to the Viceroy of Liangjiang Office of the Qing Dynasty, then to the Heavenly Kingdom Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China. It is an important witness to modern Chinese history. The architecture of the Presidential Palace blends Chinese and Western elements, with the exquisite elegance of classical Chinese gardens such as Xuyuan Garden, and Western-style buildings such as the Presidential Palace Gate Tower. It is one of the largest and best-preserved architectural complexes among the modern architectural relics in China.

Including the B1 archaeological site hall, there were four floors in total, making it quite a fun place to explore. I learned a lot, and most of the exhibits were actual unearthed artifacts. There were also many children at designated points for guided tours, which was excellent.
