3-Day Cultural & Culinary Journey through Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou jiangsu tour

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)

  • Nanjing Museum: 400,000 artifacts including imperial jade suits

In Zhenjiang, wander through Xijin Ferry Historic Block's Tang Dynasty stone roads and preserved Song Dynasty archways. The evening brings you to Yangzhou's Dongguan Street, a 1,200-year-old thoroughfare lined with salt merchant mansions. Must-try specialties include:
