Welcome to Nanjing! After airport/station pickup (arranged 3 days prior via travel concierge call), check into your selected hotel: Nanjing Landscape Hotel, Orange Crystal Nanking Museum Hotel, or Nanjing Museum Parkview Huangpu Hotel. Enjoy free time exploring the nostalgic 1912 Street, where Republican-era architecture blends with modern boutiques. Remember:

Evening brings magic to Qinhuai River (2hrs), where illuminated pleasure boats glide past tea houses. Pro tip: Sample duck blood vermicelli soup at local eateries along the river.

Day 3: Cultural Crossroads
