The force of the cold wave is very strong this year, constantly invading the land in the north. The spring that I have been looking forward to is coming late. Watching my wife's increasingly bulging belly, I knew that their world was about to be broken, and after the baby was born, it would be difficult for them to have the opportunity to travel together. So we decided to go to Jiangnan to search for the footprints of spring and appreciate the tender green of the initial vegetation.

After looking at the ticket prices, it was found that due to the continuous promotion of the Shanghai World Expo, the ticket discounts in Shanghai and surrounding cities were quite poor. In addition, I was worried about the risks of my wife getting pregnant and taking a plane, so I decided to take the train as the transportation for this trip (but it turned out that the train was really not as good as the plane). Coincidentally, I came across a two bedroom independent tour from Beijing to Nanjing on Ctrip. The price is quite cheap, and you can also use two 100 yuan Ctrip coupons to place your order without hesitation.

My itinerary is to travel T65 (3.25 pm) to Nanjing and then buy tickets directly to Yangzhou. I will stay in Yangzhou for two days (3.26 and 3.27). On March 28th, after breakfast, I will take a bus to Guazhou Ferry and take the ferry to Zhenjiang. I will take a taxi to Zhenjiang Railway Station to store my luggage. After lunch, I will visit Jinshan Temple. I will take a high-speed train back to Nanjing at around 4 pm and stay overnight. On the evening of 3.29, I will take T66 back to Beijing. But the fact shows that this line has defects. I have designed one and put it here for your reference. Of course, it would be more convenient if you are willing to take a self driving trip.

Beijing Nanjing Two bedroom Self guided Tour Improved Edition:

D1， Take z29 to Yangzhou and stay there for sightseeing. D2， Yangzhou tour. D3， Depart for Zhenjiang (half a day is sufficient, or you can go directly to Nanjing, the reasons are detailed below), and stay in Nanjing at night. D4， Visit Nanjing and return to Beijing at T66 in the evening.

The biggest trouble I encountered in my actual itinerary was shuttling back and forth between Yangzhou and Nanjing with my pregnant woman, but the improved version can save it. Yangzhou Railway Station is well built, clean and spacious. Locals say it looks like an airport, haha. Let me make a small mockery, but in fact, the recently built railway stations in China (Shanghai South Station and Beijing South Station) are the same as airports, only with different modes of transportation.
