How to choose between two major railway stations?
Nanjing Station is close to Xuanwu Lake, making it more convenient to connect to the old city upon arrival; Nanjing South Station has many trains, and the subway can directly reach Xinjiekou, Daxinggong and other core areas.
Three common accommodation areas
Xinjiekou is suitable for first visits and shopping, Daxing Palace is suitable for cultural routes, and Confucius Temple is suitable for night tours. Self-driving tourists need to additionally confirm hotel parking conditions and traffic restrictions in the old city.
The time inside the scenic spot cannot be ignored
Connecting, walking and queuing in Purple Mountain Scenic Area will take up a lot of time. The straight-line distance on the map is not equal to the tour time. When planning, you should leave room for mountain roads and stops.
Opening hours, reservations, transport and temporary restrictions may change. Check official venue and public transport notices before departure.
