Nanjing Tourism | Climb the Ming City Wall, look left to the Jiming Temple and right to the Xuanwu Lake

Coming to Nanjing for tourism, climbing the Ming City Wall is a must-see attraction. There are 48 city gates, and the one I personally recommend the most is the Liberation Gate City Wall. This is the longest, best preserved, and tallest section of the existing Nanjing City Wall. To the left is the Jiming Temple and the Museum of Ancient Biology. To the right is Xuanwu Lake, and you can see the Purple Mountain when the weather is good. It is a truly open view where you can enjoy the lake and mountain scenery. - 🎫: 20 yuan Transportation: Adjacent to the Jiming Temple of Metro Line 3/4. Nearby attractions: Jiming Temple, Xuanwu Lake, Museum of Ancient Biology. - This place is not close to any commercial area. The nearest is the Litchi Square 1km away. So you can bring some food for the trip. If you want to find a coffee shop nearby to rest, you can go to the second floor of the Museum of Ancient Biology - Science Cafe. This is also the best spot to view the Jiming Temple. If you want to eat, you can go to the vegetarian restaurant of the Jiming Temple.

Nanjing City Wall
Another trip idea for Qingming Festival - Nanjing! I managed to pack a ton of activity into one day but there is more than enough to keep you busy in this city for 3 days. First up was the Nanjing City Wall. This wall acts as one of the best kept records of the Ming Dynasty; each brick is inscribed with the name of the official responsible for quality control as well as the city of origin. If your name was on a brick deemed to be of poor quality it was punishable by death 😵 You can honestly walk along the city wall for hours just taking in the sights of the city. Next I checked out Usnisa Palace, a 9-floor Buddhist temple with six of the floors being underground (it felt like I’d taken a million escalators by the time I finally reached the bottom!) Only 3 sections of the temple are open to the public, but they are all absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit. For the last part of my trip I took a boat ride along the QinHuai river. Since this was at night, the lights were gorgeous reflecting on the water. On top of the beautiful lights, there were even dance performances throughout the route of the boat trip! More things to do in Nanjing include the Nanjing Museum and the Nanjing Massacre Museum if you’re interested in learning more about the city’s history and culture. If you’re a foodie like me, you might want to stroll through the Confucius Temple area and snack your way around it 😉 Hands down one of my favorite cities in China. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #travelinspiration #qingmingtravel
