National Day (2017), this makes up classes and that is on duty. Stay at home alone, do you have to spend it with your TV and mobile phone? Of course not. Traveling alone can be done at the same time.

It's really convenient to start booking tickets and accommodation online in the afternoon. Before leaving the next day, everything was ready and just to be in a good mood to start a one-person journey to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

Accommodation. Due to the late booking of the itinerary, accommodation in various hotels soared during the National Day period. In the end, I chose Youth Travel Accommodation. The hostel was clean and convenient to take a bath, so you can stay with peace of mind. The accommodation is located on the bustling Wangfu Street, one stop away from the Xinjiekou Mr. Sun Yat-sen Sculpture, and the transportation is particularly convenient. In the next few days, I felt that choosing this place was too correct. When visiting Nanjing, living near Xinjiekou is a better choice.

Regarding youth hostels, there are four-person rooms, six-person rooms, etc., and they don't know each other. However, they are all people who like to travel and have low requirements for accommodation. Most of them are young and everyone is familiar with each other. There are middle-aged people occasionally, not many. When you are away, you can stay in a five-star hotel or a youth hostel. It's a personal hobby. If you regard money as shit, you can stay in a star-rated luxury hotel. A stingy person like me comes here and is happy.

Nanjing, the overall impression is that there are many tourist attractions, but I don't think it's enough for a week. The tourist service facilities are complete, the road signs are clear, the sky is clear and bright, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers is everywhere in autumn, and ancient trees are everywhere. This has completely changed the last trip to the south in July. Bad impression: the exposure to the broken bridge of the West Lake, and the hot tide of entering Greater Shanghai. I have always liked the emptiness and desolation of the Northwest, but during this trip, I actually liked the South a lot.

-------------Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Castle, Confucius Temple----

The first night's ticket arrived in Nanjing at 1 a.m., and the older sister sitting next to him was from Ma 'anshan, so she suggested following her to stay in Ma' anshan. During his hesitation, the little girl next to him was also alone, so the two of them borrowed the courage and followed their eldest sister to Ma 'anshan. After nearly an hour's journey, we arrived in Ma 'anshan. The hotel my sister mentioned was already full. She drove around at 1 a.m. to help us find accommodation. I am really grateful to her kind sister. Early the next morning, the bullet train ticket from Ma 'anshan East to Nanjing South was not booked. The bullet train set off at around 9 o'clock and arrived in Nanjing at twelve o'clock. Although it took more than ten minutes to drive, half a day had already passed. Although I did meet a good person this time and was safe and sound, I felt a little scared when I thought about it later, and I will resolutely put an end to it in the future.

yuhuatai

Yuhuatai has a long history, but during the Republic of China, many revolutionary warriors died heroically here. After New China, this memorial park was built to commemorate the martyrs. Paying homage to the monument, visiting the memorial hall, and returning to the war-torn era. My heart was filled with emotion. When I saw those tragic historical photos, I burst into tears. I dare not see these. It is not easy for the Party to conquer the world, and history cannot be forgotten. What values should we have today? I wish the motherland prosperity and strength.

revolutionary martyrs monument

Zhonghuamen Castle is part of the Nanjing City Wall and is known as the "World's No. 1 Barn City". Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, once again built a castle for garrison troops, and built it in the thick castle walls for strategic Tibetan soldiers.

The most prosperous scenery in Nanjing is the Confucius Temple, the scenery of the Qinhuai River. During the festival, there are people of people. What kind of ancient street is it? It has become a snack street. Especially in the evening, there was a lot of noise. In ancient times, the famous gentle town here, the eight beauties of Qinhuai River, was enviable. Many talented poets, dignitaries and dignitaries lingered here.

Take a cruise ship and tour the scenery of the Qinhuai River at dusk. In the flickering lights, look at the relics left behind, listen to the stories of those talented and beautiful women in the past, lament their unfortunate or happy lives, and lament that the youth has finally passed away., a river and flowing water is free.

---------------Zhongshan Scenic Area------------

Zhongshan Scenic Area is Nanjing's core scenic spot, including a series of scenic spots: Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area, Linggu Scenic Area, Toutuoling Scenic Area and other scenic spots. There are countless scenic spots.
Meiling Palace is Chiang's official residence, wrapped in tall French sycamore trees. In the golden autumn season, viewed from the sky, it is in the shape of a beautiful necklace. The most beautiful thing is the observation deck on the second floor. In the teahouse, the aroma of osmanthus wafts in and the fragrance is pleasant.

In this world, the most exciting thing is a man's smile, and the most ruthless thing is a man's indifference. If you like someone, even if it is a star in the sky, you will want to pick it off and share it with you. When you don't like it, you will abandon it like grass. For example, Ban Jieyu of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Zhang Youyi of Xu Zhimo. Choice is important, and if you gain something, you will lose something.

There were a crowd of visitors to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. They did not stop and took a sightseeing bus directly to Linggu Temple. Linggu Temple is one of the three major Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty. It is elegant and clean. It is one of the three major Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty.

Returning to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, persistence is victory. Walk two kilometers to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. A sea of people climbed up the steps, and tourists paid their respects in a quiet and orderly manner to remember Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. The entire scenic area covers a large area and has beautiful landscape gardens. The animal stone statues on both sides of the Shinto are tall and powerful, and the two rows of ginkgo leaves have begun to yellow. It is really a good place to enjoy autumn.

On the other fork of the road, the sycamore trees were neat and towering into the clouds. Meihua Mountain is also in the scenic area, where the Plum Blossom Flower Festival is held in winter. There are not many people in the park, and the trails lead to the secluded scenery. However, when we arrived at the mausoleum area, the number of tourists suddenly increased. There seemed to be nothing to visit, except for some incomplete stone lions at the entrance a little further away.

-------------Presidential Palace, Jiming Temple, Nanjing City Wall, Xuanwu Lake, Nanjing Museum---------

I got up early to go to the Presidential Palace and once again thanked the Internet for its convenience. I booked tickets online without queuing and entered the park directly with my ID card. Looking at the half-stop line waiting to buy tickets, I secretly rejoiced. The Presidential Palace has a history of nearly 600 years, from the governor of Liangjiang to the government of the Republic of China.

There are tall trees here and the environment is beautiful. The office area is so big that you can almost get lost. The most eye-catching things are the pool of clear water, pavilions, and tree-lined roads behind. Because you enter the park early, you can enjoy the tranquility of the morning.

I didn't eat anything in the morning, and I didn't see anything on the way to Jiming Temple. After entering the temple, I didn't expect that there would be vegetarian noodles. The price was extremely cheap. Taste the temple's specialties, including tofu skin and noodles, and the taste was okay. Jiming Temple has a long history and is known as the first temple in the Southern Dynasty. After visiting the temple, you can buy a ticket directly behind and enter the ancient city wall.

There are several places in Nanjing's ancient city walls that were not connected due to damage during the war. Walking and stopping on the city wall, you can play alone, regardless of the rhythm of others, and walk at your heart; put the camera on the city wall, take a few selfies, ignore other people's eyes, and you can travel the world alone.

Next to the city wall is Xuanwu Lake. Every city has its own logo. Xi'an is Xingqing Lake, and Xuanwu Lake is a lake like that in urban Nanjing. Playing is a physical activity, or a quick tour in a sightseeing bus.

Nanjing Museum is one of China's four major countries. It is impossible to have most of a day's time. It is a history museum, an art museum, a folk custom museum, etc. The history museum is divided into various dynasties. It is already too early to just take a look at the history museum. Go home.

----------------One-day trip to Slender West Lake in Yangzhou--------------------

Yangzhou is northeast of Nanjing. It's a two-hour drive. It's a one-day trip with Ctrip. com, which saves the trouble of planning your own time and route, and completely plays without shopping. Blue sky and white clouds, autumn wind blowing, Slender West Lake is unparalleled in beauty. My old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks fell on Yangzhou in March. As a result, this place became a place that countless people dreamed of visiting.

On Wuting Bridge (a landmark building in Yangzhou), the autumn wind is refreshing, and the bells of the pavilions are jingling in the wind. It is so comfortable. The weeping willows by the lake are like Jiangnan women, dancing with the wind and intoxicating. Even the ducks in the water seem to be different from other places, giving off a certain atmosphere of Jiangnan.

Jiangnan gardens are a place you can't miss. He Garden is in Yangzhou, a typical southern garden, and visit them together.

This mirror is the treasure of this garden.

Daming Temple and Dongguan Street are also relatively famous here, so you can also stop by. Colorful clouds in the evening

There are world intangible cultural performances here, Qianqiu Fandai. Although she didn't understand what the song was about, the Jiangnan woman held an oil-paper umbrella and danced gracefully, playing, singing, and singing, like silver beads falling on a plate. It was crisp and pleasant to the eye.

------------Yuejiang Tower Zhanyuan-----------

On the last day of the trip, rain was forecast, but the weather was particularly good in the morning. Yuejiang Tower is located on Lion Mountain. It is a modern building imitating ancient times. It is one of the four famous buildings in Jiangnan and ranks fourth. There are many theories about fourth place, and this is just one of them.

Tour order of Yuejiang Tower: Go from the south gate and exit from the east gate. Or travel in the opposite direction without turning back. Yuejiang Tower is near the south gate.
On the last day of the holiday, there were few tourists. It was quiet and quiet, and many citizens were exercising in the morning.

The Yuejiang Tower is majestic and magnificent as a whole and colorful. Inside the building, you go up the wooden stairs. On the observation deck on the top floor, you can see the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. Large cruise ships are sailing slowly on the river, which is very spectacular. When I came out of the building, it started to rain. In the drizzle, there was a unique atmosphere.

Online information: There are five firsts in this building. 1. Stone lions-this is currently the largest pair of lions in China. It is 4.8 meters high and weighs about 30 tons. It is carved in a single piece of Suzhou Jinshan stone. The style is from the Ming Taizu period and is carved according to the gatekeeper lion of the Ming Dynasty in Xuyi County. The two lions are powerful and have royal spirit.

2. The white marble stele inscription-"Yuejiang Tower Notes" written by Zhu Yuanzhang was copied by contemporary calligraphers. On the back of the stele is "Yuejiang Tower Notes" written by Song Lian, which was selected as "Guwen Guanzhi". White marble was mined from Fangshan, Beijing. It is 3.1 meters high, 4.8 meters wide and weighs 15 tons. It is the largest white marble inscription in the country. 3. Yuejianglou Ding---is the largest imitation of the Western Zhou Dynasty Simuwu Ding in the country. It weighs 4 tons. Seal characters are engraved on the Ding: "The lion dreams of his mane, his descendants are proud of the Yellow Emperor, and the mountains are the backbone of the mountain. Looking at the Yangtze River through the ages, the river reaches the sea and is full of soup. The building is lined with clouds and generous, and the Ding is forever built." Read the first word of each of these seven sentences together, it is "Lion Mountain Yuejiang Tower Ding." 4. Zheng He's Western Expedition Porcelain Painting-This is the largest porcelain painting in China, 12.8 meters high and 8 meters wide. Behind the mural are the works of Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan. 5. Bronze embossed-It is the largest bronze embossed in the country. It is 2 meters high and 8 meters wide. It was made by master sculptor Wu Weishan.

After visiting Yuejiang Tower, there is still time. There are too many people going to Confucius Temple on the first day, and it is not easy to come here. I will relive the scenery of the Qinhuai River again. After passing through Zhanyuan, I will have a tour of the 5A introduction. Citron

Zhanyuan is Xu Dakai's official residence. Tickets were bought with explanations, and they followed the tour guide. They gained a lot of knowledge about doorsteps, household pairs, doornails, stone boats, corridors, laurels, wisteria, citron, etc. After the tour guide leaves, we can taste it carefully. It's raining heavily and there are fewer and fewer tourists. Visiting the gardens alone in the rain, the rockery, weeping willows, pavilions and pavilions are wonderful.

Such weather and such pavilions are the most suitable for a person to worry about life. In ancient times, there were new words to express worry, but I couldn't worry about it for no reason. Then watch the water ripple on the lake in the rain and fog, watch the water droplets form a line on the cornice and feel silly. You don't have to go back to the slanting wind and drizzle, don't think, and forget that you are in a foreign country. It will only take a moment, and tomorrow I will return to the pots and pans and the Jianghu. Take photos, take selfies, and enjoy such beautiful scenery. It turns out that the garden is to be played in such weather. This is the most beautiful and enjoyable closing stop of this trip to Nanjing.

Traveling alone, it takes five days to finish off the first and the last. In fact, the arrangements are full for four days. I feel that time passes very slowly. From the initial anxiety to the final pleasure, it is perfect.
