Nanjing is a city with both the atmosphere and historical heritage of the capital. It is solemn and quaint, but also convenient and lively. When I first visited Nanjing two years ago, I hurried for two days. Except for the night sky of Qinhuai, I didn't leave any impression. This time, I visited the old place without stopping for four days. I took 20,000 steps a day. I visited only a handful of scenic spots, and my inner attachment increased day by day.

In order to visit friends, I went to Shanghai first. Shanghai obviously didn't suit my temperament, so no matter how much you tried to coax me, he couldn't coax me well. Until I arrived in Nanjing, I immediately smiled the moment I got off the bus.

The Wozi Hotel I booked is on the "back" of the Confucius Temple, next to Wuyi Lane. Unfortunately, the current decoration near the Confucius Temple is a bit spoiling the scenery, but there is no feeling of mess at all, and everything is still in order.

Putting down our luggage, we headed straight to Nanjing Museum. My father often said that when visiting a place, you must first visit a museum. There are two museums in Nanjing, one of which is called the "Museum", which is as famous as the Forbidden City in Beijing. Make an appointment online in advance and swipe your ID card to enter the museum. There are not many tourists on weekdays. It's really nice to be able to visit it quietly and slowly! We spent an hour and a half watching a series of exhibitions in ancient Jiangsu alone. From the primitive society to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are many exhibits and treasures. Nanjing Museum claims to have eighteen treasures of the town, but what we catch up with is a special exhibition of plum vases with red underglaze and cold year three friends pattern. As a cultural relic appreciative of Xiaobai, I don't think this bottle is as beautiful as some Tang color and Song porcelain and clear enamel, so my husband's reaction is normal and he is constantly amazed.

There were still ten minutes before the museum closed at 5 o'clock, and we only entered the "Shengshi Huacai" exhibition hall. The hall is full of high-quality porcelain, and even I find it breathless beautiful. Sir's wish was not enough, so I secretly booked tickets for the next day.

Back at the Confucius Temple, it was the time when the lanterns were first turned on. Of course, I had to go to the Qinhuai River painting boat. The small wooden boats from two years ago were no longer there. The painting boats were one after another, slowly passing through the Qinhuai River, which carried so much sorrow and joy in ancient and modern times. The explanation of the pleasure boat was very accurate, the amount of knowledge was quite large, and there were almost no gaps. I still have to take photos with my mobile phone, which is really overwhelmed! The 80-yuan ticket drove through more than 20 cultural relics and took 40 minutes. I think it was worth it. Last time I came to Nanjing, I liked to sit for two nights in a row, and I didn't hesitate to queue for more than half an hour each time. This time, there was almost no queue and it was not so noisy. The scenery was moving and the heart was calm. It was so good!

In order to rush for time at noon, the duck blood vermicelli soup we ate nearby in Lao Shengqing was so-so. In the evening, we searched Xiao Li Tangbao Main Store in Yingao Lane and tasted authentic Nanjing cuisine. Carefully pick up the fragrant soup dumplings and look at the trembling liquid rippling behind the translucent skin. Regardless of the hot mouth and gently bite open, your mouth immediately filled with thick soup. The two people wheezed to cool their tongues while greedily enjoying the delicious food, which was funny and happy.

After eating too much, take a leisurely walk after dinner and walk through Bailuzhou Park. The lights in the garden are beautiful. No wonder photos of the two sides of the river from the pleasure boat are like postcards. Nanjing has the heritage of an ancient capital and also integrates high-tech elements. Without these lights, shared bicycles and convenient facilities, this would be just a sleepy "old city".

Searching for soup dumplings online, I found that there was actually a Jiming soup dumpling shop above Xiao Li, claiming to be the best in Nanjing. Just curious how delicious it would be, we decided to try it for breakfast the next day. This attempt broke. I won fans in a second, and I couldn't forget it, and I wanted to join and open a store in Beijing. Chicken juice soup dumplings are the best. They have thin skin and juice, are delicious and delicious. There are six in a drawer of 14, which is half cheaper than Lao Shengqing. Add a bowl of vermicelli soup and you will be full. The set meal is more affordable. It is crab-eating season, and crab yellow soup dumplings are so beautiful that you can bite it into your bones! Friends who are afraid of getting tired can eat chrysanthemum leaf soup dumplings, which is refreshing ~ vermicelli soup is already very delicious, and chicken sauce wontons are even better! Candy taro seedlings, pumpkin porridge and even free side dishes are all delicious!

The steamed buns are all buttoned and at first glance they look like crystal steamed buns. Only when you hold it up can you feel the meat is toot and slippery. Take a bite and wag your tail ~

I ate four meals at his house in three days. On the day I left, I realized that the name of the Jiming Tangbao store was not because the boss was eager to get up early, but because it originated from Jiming Temple.

It is slightly cloudy and it is a good day to visit the garden. The winner is still Zhanyuan. It is not only close, but also not too small. It has a historical atmosphere and garden beauty. I like it best. A guided tour was added when booking the tickets, and we walked through 43 attractions one by one, which was much better than wandering around in a daze that year. The "No. 1 Garden in Jinling" was once the residence of Xu Da, a founding hero in the Ming Dynasty. It is very knowledgeable about everything from the number of door nails to the decoration of divine beasts. Although the "Tiger" tablet was hidden in the corner, it was still discovered, stopped, evaluated and admired by groups of tourists. The story of the Taiping Rebellion is ups and downs, and my mind turns to the garden as usual, and I am immediately overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery in front of me. It is said that Suzhou gardens are a model of Chinese gardens, but I think Zhanyuan is much more exquisite than Humble Administrator's Garden. "One step, one scene" is nothing new. What is powerful is the beauty of nature and natural gas. The garden was originally arranged manually, but Zhanyuan was natural and did not feel like it was cut and twisted at all. Landscape pavilions, windows and eaves corridors, and plaques and inscriptions are set up according to the situation, making them quaint and tranquil. The classic 87 editions of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "The Legend of the New White Lady" are all filmed here.

At noon, I met two good friends at "Hua Qianzui Bistro". This place is very in line with the aesthetics of literati. It is antique and slightly fairy. The dishes are exquisite and decorated with porcelain. The gentleman said it wasn't delicious, perhaps because it was too sweet. Although the wine was sweet, he enjoyed it very much.

In the afternoon, we happily visited Nanbo again. This time, we checked the location of the exhibition hall in advance, planned the time reasonably, and focused on painting, calligraphy, and architecture of the past dynasties. I didn't know that Shanghai style paintings were so exquisite! The pictures of ladies are graceful and elegant, especially the series of "People in a Dream of Red Mansions" drawn by Gai Qi, which is truly aesthetically online and lifelike! Shanghai style flowers and birds use boneless techniques, which are very special, gentle but not kitsch, and can actually reflect Lao Mei's arrogance. The mountains and rivers are clear and distant, elegant and handsome. In addition to the delicate brushwork and shallow colors, the composition is quite wonderful as "an antelope hangs on its horns and has no trace to be found." Most of calligraphy is cursive and I can't appreciate it. I still prefer the flip-head Xiaojie ~ The only thing that impressed me is the imitation of stone drum characters. It's amazing! As for statues, let's go to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to see them!

Cultural and creative products are another highlight of Nanbo. All kinds of Kawaii trinkets, literary and artistic stationery, and high-imitation miniature treasures of the town and museum have brought together a lot of popularity in every cultural and creative store ~

In the evening, my husband had an appointment with a friend, and I strolled around alone and unknowingly reached the East Gate of Laomen (note that it was not the East Gate of Laomen!). I thought this place was similar to Fuzimiao Pedestrian Street, but I didn't expect it to be more literary and fun. Perhaps it was because of the water that there was more spiritual energy. The lights were colorful, tourists were shuttling through, and the alleys were one after another. I came in confusion, and I walked out in confusion and couldn't find the door.

On the third day, the arrangements were slightly more relaxed, and I slept until 8:30 before getting up. After eating Jiming dumplings with satisfaction, I rode my bike to Dabaoen Temple. Although it was destroyed in the war and only the ruins remained, it relied on careful protection and ingenious design to allow visitors to experience the glorious past of the first "480 temples in the Southern Dynasty". There was no renovation and reconstruction, but the original appearance was preserved in the high-tech exhibition hall, combining introduction, guided tours, painting, and animation to restore the original appearance of Dabaoen Temple. The golden shimmering Qibao Ashoka Pagoda is worthy of being a national treasure. It is so exquisite that it is beyond words! What is even more amazing is the underground palace exhibition hall. Please take my knees for the furnishings, lighting, and atmosphere! The Da Bao 'en Temple Tower was rebuilt in a later stage and protected with tempered glass. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Jinling City from the top. It is said that three copies of the glazed building materials used to build Dabaoen Temple were fired, one was used at that time, one was ready for use at any time, and the other was numbered and buried underground for future repairs. What far-sighted and thoughtful! The wisdom and courage of the ancients are beyond imagination!

At noon, or afternoon to be exact, we had dinner at Laomen East Xianheng Hotel. I was thinking about snacks, so I only ordered a few side dishes. Shaoxing crispy fish was so delicious that it tasted sour and sour that I couldn't help but add a bowl of rice until there was no soup left. The gentleman was full with steamed eggs with whitebait and fragrant dried Malan head.

Laomen East during the day is also very fun, especially in order to cooperate with the Hanfu girls to take photos, the scenic area is specially sprayed with water mist, which looks like it is rushing to travel through. The advantage of the day is that it is not easy to get lost. You can stroll through all the streets and alleys one by one. There are no new surprises in terms of food, and the eyes are quite good. First of all, the streets and buildings in Laomen East are too classical. Brick walls, black tiles, wooden beams, carved windows, blooming small flowers, and lush trees. Just like thousands of years ago, there are also children smacking stone lions and giggling, and there are also women leaning against the window lattice in a daze. Secondly, there are many small shops here that are aesthetic online. The tea cups with warm tentacles, the beautifully carved screens, the refreshing aroma, or just looking back and seeing a morning glory hanging from the eaves, stirring the wind chimes from time to time... Third, the dotted memorial halls and former residences of literati, always remind visitors that this is Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and a cultural holy place.

What moved me most in Nanjing was its humanistic care. The figure of the "Twelve Hairpins in Jinling" decorated next to the subway walkway, the ancient buildings unified on the pedestrian streets such as the Confucius Temple Laomen East, clean public toilets everywhere, and the statues of celebrities standing silently in the bustling city... This is a A city as solemn as Buddha, as merciful as Bodhisattva, as warmth as relatives, and as enthusiastic as old friends.
