Highlights

Niushoushan Forestal Park - Your tour leader will pick you up at Nanjingnan Railway Station or at your hotel lobby (please specify when booking) at 10:00 a.m., and then begin your one-day Nanjing tour from Niushoushan Forestal Park. Niushoushan is a highly popular attraction, regarded as the “New heritage of the world’s Buddhist culture and a new landscape of contemporary architectural art.” The entire scenic area aims to create ecological, cultural, and recreational projects by leveraging ecological, cultural, and tourism resources.
Presidential Palace of Nanjing - After lunch, we will transfer to your next stop - the Presidential Palace of Nanjing. The Presidential Palace holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people and is considered a significant part of Chinese history. By visiting the modern historical museum, you can gain an in-depth understanding of the Republic of China regime in Nanjing (1912 to 1949). The architecture is a blend of Western and Chinese styles, and the interiors are maintained in their original form and arrangement, transporting you back to the era between the 1920s and 1930s.
Xuanwu Lake - After visiting the Presidential Palace of Nanjing, we will drive to Xuanwu Lake for a leisurely stroll. Located at the foot of Purple Mountain in Nanjing, Xuanwu Lake is a picturesque scenic spot. The lake, city walls, exhibits, breeze, peaceful surroundings, and the view from the top create a marvelous picture that will amaze you. If you are tired of the busy and noisy city life, a leisurely stroll around Xuanwu Lake can help you escape the fast pace of life.
Jiming Temple - Near Xuanwu Lake is an ancient temple that is a must-see attraction in Nanjing City. After strolling around Xuanwu Lake, we will visit this temple. Jiming Temple is adjacent to the Nanjing City Wall. The road in front of Jiming Temple is crowded between March and early April due to the cherry blossoms, but the ancient temple is still worth a visit. You can see monks, hear chanting, and appreciate the serene and peaceful atmosphere.
Confucian Temple Area (Fuzi Miao) - The last stop of today’s Nanjing tour is the Confucian Temple Area. You can explore this famous area at your own pace. Also known as Fuzimiao, the Confucian Temple Area offers tourists unique gift shops, delicious Chinese street food, and the opportunity to walk along the famous Qin Huai River. The Confucian Temple, first built on the banks of the Qin Huai River in 1034 during the Song Dynasty, was a place to worship and honor Confucius, a great philosopher and educator of ancient China. It is a sight not to be missed in Nanjing.
