Great, buying tickets through Ctrip is very convenient. Aside from the crowds, the experience at Niushou Mountain was great! Take the shuttle bus inside and then go up a few escalators to reach the pagoda.

Nanjing Hongshan Zoo is definitely worth a visit. It's easily accessible, boasts a wide variety of animal species, and even includes different breeds of the same animal from different regions and countries. The red pandas are especially lively and adorable, and there are also koalas, monkeys, apes, and more.

The scenic area is huge! Even after mentally preparing for at least 20,000 steps, I was still shocked to find myself racking up 30,000 steps in a day! The bald cypress trees at Yanque Lake were mesmerizing, like an oil painting, in the autumn morning light. At Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, listening to history was overwhelming. The music stage was so romantic; I sat down, slowed down, and enjoyed a moment of relaxation. Time was too short; I didn't get to visit Meiling Palace yet. Maybe another time!

The Nanjing Museum effectively functions as the Jiangsu Provincial Museum. It is one of the earliest museums established in China, comprising a history hall, an art hall, a special exhibition hall, a digital hall, a Republican era hall, and an intangible cultural heritage hall. Admission is free and by reservation only; audio guides are available for a fee. The exhibition showcasing the Republican era is quite unique and unlike any other provincial museum I've seen.

The Presidential Palace in Nanjing, located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, has witnessed the changes of multiple historical periods, from the Han Prince's Palace of the Ming Dynasty to the Viceroy of Liangjiang Office of the Qing Dynasty, then to the Heavenly Kingdom Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China. It is an important witness to modern Chinese history. The architecture of the Presidential Palace blends Chinese and Western elements, with the exquisite elegance of classical Chinese gardens such as Xuyuan Garden, and Western-style buildings such as the Presidential Palace Gate Tower. It is one of the largest and best-preserved architectural complexes among the modern architectural relics in China.

The set design was fantastic, and there were plenty of rest areas within the exhibition area. Including the B1 archaeological site hall, there were four floors in total, making it quite a fun place to explore. I learned a lot, and most of the exhibits were actual unearthed artifacts. There were also many children at designated points for guided tours, which was excellent.
