Reference itinerary

Morning | Civilization Scroll Nanjing Museum

Taking the History Museum as the main line, select key artifacts and narrate the era to avoid evenly allocating time among the six museums.

Afternoon | Ancient Temple and Taicheng Jiming Temple - Taicheng - Xuanwu Lake

Walk up the city wall from the temple and return the timeline of the ancient capital to the real landscape pattern.

Evening | Lakeside Xuanwu Lake Huanzhou

Depending on the weather, choose a short walk to see the Purple Mountain and the city skyline on the lakeshore.

Will be considered together when planning

  • Thematic visiting sequence
