On October 3, 2019, the third day of the National Day holiday, I looked at reports from various places: various attractions were crowded with people. Naturally, we can't stay at home, so let's go out and join in the fun, haha.

The night before, I made an appointment with my sister-in-law's family, and I left early the next morning and headed straight to Nanjing.

After comparison, taking more than 200 high-speed trains for one person one way is relatively expensive, so I decided to drive by myself. Of course, it's hard for the driver to drive by himself, and it's hard for the driver to find a parking space when arriving at the scenic spots. However, it seems that boys all like to drive by themselves and enjoy it.

First we arrived at the Confucius Temple, which is similar to the City God Temple in Shanghai. Not many people. Very lively.

Internet celebrity check-in place: Sixian Village, there are many people here

This is the back door of Confucius Temple

Walking all the way from the back to the main entrance of Confucius Temple:

Opposite the Confucius Temple is the Qinhuai River

The pavilion on the Confucius Temple Square is now a post office

This is the place where you can queue up to buy tickets and board the boat:

You can take a sightseeing bus in the square and go around, 12 yuan/person:

There are also human tricycles you can ride on, and the driver's skills are very good!

Turn left after seeing the platform

There is Nanjing's famous "Plum Blossom Cake" in the alley. You must try it:

After visiting the Confucius Temple, exit. Go to the next attraction: Laomen East,

At the entrance of the small shop along the way, I saw the local newspaper,

Small shops along the street sell snacks:

No, about 20 minutes later, I arrived at Laomen East. There were many people. The buildings on the roadside were being built and occupied the sidewalk, making it difficult to walk.

The crowd was relatively large and the walking was slow. Before I realized it, it was dark. I saw the performance venue of Deyun Society. There was a performance tonight. There was still an hour before the venue left. Many people were already queuing up, competing to each other!

Give praise to the young people in Deyun Society and carry forward the traditional culture of the motherland, so that modern young people like such a traditional culture as cross talk.

Walking along the main road to the end of Laomen East is the city wall. On the city wall, a full moon hangs high:

After walking out of Laomen East, follow the direction of the city wall and walk towards the outer Qinhuai River:

On the other side of the Outer Qinhuai River, there is a cruise ship terminal, which costs 80 yuan/person at night. It is worth a visit:

After visiting the cruise ship, we walked to the parking lot near the Confucius Temple.

See the cruise ship on the Inner Qinhuai River:

I wanted to go to the "Nanjing Food Stall" for dinner, but there were so many people that I queued up and gave up:

The way back to the parking lot is the shortest way through the Confucius Temple. A night tour of Confucius Temple:

On the morning of the 4th, drive into the city:

Today, I planned to visit Xuanwu Lake + Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. When I arrived, there were too many people and I decided to change my itinerary. Go up the city wall from here, go straight to the right until you reach Jiefang Gate.

The sun is so strong. If you walk around the city wall, you will have no shelter and you will get a lot of sun.

After coming down from Jiefang Gate, I ate vegetarian food for less than 5 minutes.

Then take a taxi back to the hotel.

Pass by attractions on the way.

In the afternoon, go to Gulou Park near the hotel, free tickets:

After visiting Gulou Park, go to Nanjing University for a walk:

What I saw on the way back to the hotel:

On the morning of the 5th, I drove to Ming Xiaoling and visited the Ming Xiaoling Museum:
