Day 1: Imperial Legacy & Riverside Charm in Nanjing
Begin your Nanjing exploration with seamless private transfers from major transportation hubs. Your historical immersion starts at the 1,700-year-old Jiming Temple, where burning incense sticks create swirling smoke patterns against vermilion walls. The temple's seven-story pagoda offers panoramic city views.
Choose between three iconic landmarks for your afternoon:
- Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum: Climb 392 steps to China's democratic revolution father's final resting place
- Linggu Temple Complex: Discover the 14th-century Beamless Hall and spiritual forest paths
- Meiling Palace: Explore the "Most Beautiful Tree-Circled Palace in the East"
At Xuanwu Lake, rent a paddle boat shaped like lotus flowers while admiring the Ming Dynasty city wall reflection. As dusk falls, navigate through Confucius Temple Area where lantern-lit pleasure boats glide past Qing Dynasty architecture. Conclude your evening at Laomendong Historical District for a culinary adventure through the "Eight Wonders of Qinhuai Snacks".
Essential Tips:
- Hotel check-in typically starts at 14:00 (luggage storage available)
