Where is it convenient to travel and live in Nanjing?
After the vicissitudes of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it left a precious cultural tourism landscape here, attracting many tourists at home and abroad. Here, you can see the dim light of Shili Qinhuai, the antique Confucius Temple, Laomendong, the gathering place of traditional houses in Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the romantic Yihe Road, etc ... Even if the high-rise buildings are brightly lit, they can't stop those traditional cultures that have been passed down and preserved well.
The Golden Land of the Six Dynasties: Confucius Temple
Nanjing Confucius Temple is one of the four Confucian temples in China. Jinling is a place with rich history and humanities. There are countless tourists coming here every year. It can be said that you must go to Confucius Temple when you come to Nanjing. Confucius Temple is adjacent to Shili Qinhuai River, and there are rows of large ancient buildings on both sides of Qinhuai River. Among these buildings, Confucius Temple, Jiangnan Palace Garden and Gong Xue are the most famous. Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River under the lights are the most beautiful times. The lights are bright and the paddles are shining, which makes people intoxicated.
The gathering place of traditional houses in Nanjing: Laomendong
It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from Confucius Temple to Laomendong, which is the gathering place of traditional houses in the south of the old city of Nanjing. Since ancient times, it has been a gathering place of merchants and humanities in the south of the Yangtze River. I prefer the old doorway to the Confucius Temple now. Walking on the antique stone road, looking at the buildings with white walls and gray tiles on both sides, listening carefully, you can also hear the boatman's paddle on the Qinhuai River not far away.
Royal Garden: Xuanwu Lake
Xuanwu Lake, located in Xuanwu District of Nanjing, has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is the largest royal garden in China and the only royal garden in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the reputation of "Jinling Pearl". Xuanwu Lake is one of the forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling. There are islands in the lake, which are connected with each other. There are landscapes on the island, mostly human landscapes. Xuanwu Lake in history became a royal forbidden area because of the establishment of Huangshuguan in it. Xuanwu Lake in the evening is beautiful, and the water is sparkling, reflecting Nanjing City.
Location of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum: Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located in Zhongshan Scenic Area, which can be reached by Xiamafang Station of Nanjing Metro Line 2. The whole building complex is built on the mountain, where not only the natural scenery is beautiful, but also the whole scenery of Jinling City can be seen from the top of the mountain. Because of the location of Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, it is endowed with historical and humanistic atmosphere, attracting a large number of tourists to pay their respects every year, and there are also music stations, Liuhuige, the Tibetan Scripture Building, Meiling Palace and other scenic spots nearby.
Remembering history and national humiliation: Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall
Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, located at No.418 Shuiximen Street, jianye district, Nanjing, belongs to the first batch of national first-class museums. It is to commemorate the inhuman atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders after they captured Nanjing, so as to awaken the people, remember the national humiliation and remember the history! When you come to Nanjing, you must always remind yourself not to forget history, work hard and revitalize China! Don't take pictures in the exhibition hall to show respect! )
Tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang: Ming Tombs
Ming Mausoleum is located in Zhongshan Scenic Area, adjacent to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and it is one of the largest imperial mausoleums in China. According to historical records, the construction of the Ming Tombs mobilized hundreds of thousands of military workers and took 25 years to complete. The whole building of the Ming Tombs is the highest achievement of the Ming Dynasty, and even the architectural form of imperial tombs that influenced the Ming and Qing Dynasties for more than 500 years. It has the reputation of "the first royal mausoleum in Ming and Qing Dynasties".
In the Ming tombs, there is a shinto called Shixiang Road, which is more than 600 meters long. Six kinds of stone beasts with different expressions are arranged in turn along the road. The modeling style is rough and magnificent, which represents the sublimity of the Ming tombs, and also has the functions of ward off evil spirits, guarding and etiquette. Especially on Shi Xiang Road in autumn, the golden moment of trees makes people feel as if they are in a fairy tale world.
Qixia mountain: maple leaves all over the mountain
Qixia Mountain, located in Qixia District, is one of the "Forty-eight Scenes of Jinling" and has the reputation of "the first beautiful mountain in Jinling". Autumn has come, and maple leaves are all over Shan Ye, which is also the most beautiful season in Qixia Mountain. At the foot of Qixia Mountain, there is qixia temple, with a grand building scale and extraordinary momentum. It occupies an important position in Buddhism, and is called the four largest jungles in the world together with Lingyan Temple, yuquan temple Temple and Congress Temple.
The first Zen forest in the world: Linggu Temple
Linggu Temple is one of the three major Buddhist temples in Ming Dynasty. This temple was built in Tian Jian for thirteen years. It was built in memory of Baozhi, a Buddhist monk. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang inscribed "Linggu Temple" and named it "the first Zen forest in the world". This is also a temple that has experienced the baptism of war. It was rebuilt in Tongzhi in the late Qing Dynasty, but the scale was far less than that of that year. However, pine trees with red walls and yellow tiles and lush forests still retain the beautiful scenery of "deep pine in the valley".
Sakyamuni Buddha's top bone relic: the top palace of the Buddha in Niushou Mountain.
Niushou Mountain is located in Jiangning District, a scenic spot in the southern suburbs of Nanjing. Since ancient times, it has beautiful natural scenery, profound cultural heritage and numerous historical sites.
