Nanjing, an ancient capital carrying a thousand-year history, exudes a unique charm. I embarked on a two-day trip to Nanjing with a reverence for history and a desire for beautiful scenery. ✨

Day 1
In the morning, I arrived at the Nanjing Presidential Palace. This building, which has witnessed the winds and clouds of China's modern history, is solemn and dignified. Strolling inside the Presidential Palace, it was as if I could feel the magnificent history. The ancient buildings and exquisite gardens all show the splendor of those days. I carefully appreciated every exhibition and learned the story of that era. 🏛️📜💪
At noon, I tasted Nanjing specialties, such as salt water duck and duck blood vermicelli soup, at a restaurant near the Presidential Palace, and the delicious food satisfied my taste buds greatly. 🍜🦆😋
In the afternoon, I headed to Zhongshan Scenic Area. As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was attracted by the beautiful natural scenery. The green trees and fresh air are so refreshing. I first came to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, a magnificent and imposing mausoleum of the ancient emperors. Walking along the Divine Path, I admired the exquisite stone carvings and felt the heaviness of history. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has a unique architectural style, with red walls and yellow tiles, showing the majesty of the royal family. 🏰🖼️📕
In the evening, I went to Nanjing 1912 Neighborhood. The place is full of Republican flavor and the buildings are unique. The streets are brilliantly lit and lively. I strolled around the neighborhood, enjoying the night view and feeling the romance and flavor of that era. There are many restaurants, bars and cafes, I chose a cafe and sat down to sip my coffee and enjoy a relaxing time. 🏮🎇☕💃

Day 2
In the morning, I once again visited the Zhongshan Scenic Area and continued to explore its beauty. I visited the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the mausoleum of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great forerunner of the democratic revolution. The Mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen is solemn and the architecture is magnificent. As I walked up the long stone steps, my heart was filled with admiration for Mr. Sun Yat-sen. On the Zhongshan Mausoleum, you can overlook the whole Nanjing city with a breathtaking view. 🌄🖼️💪
At noon, we enjoyed lunch at the restaurant in the scenic area. 🍱
In the afternoon, I strolled around the Zhongshan Scenic Area, enjoying the natural scenery. With dense forests, clear streams and beautiful gardens, it was like being in a fairyland. I also visited some small attractions, such as Linggu Temple, and felt the profundity of Buddhist culture. 🌳🌊🌸📕
The two-day trip to Nanjing came to an end, and I left the city with a full harvest and good memories. Nanjing, this ancient and modern city, has left a deep impression on me. I believe I will come back here again and continue to explore its charm. 💖🚄
