Nanjing Old Town in Depth & a Yangzhou Day Trip in
Old neighborhoods in the south of the city, Purple Mountain, and the Six Dynasties and Republic-era museums, plus a high-speed train day trip to Yangzhou for morning tea and Slender West Lake.
The pace is slower than the three-day route: more time in the southern old quarters such as Xiaoxi Lake, and Purple Mountain with Linggu Temple added. The Presidential Palace, the Six Dynasties Museum and the Nanjing Museum are grouped in the same area. On Day 4, take a high-speed train to Yangzhou. On the last day, visit the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall and the Republic-era mansion district of Yihe Road before departing. You stay in Xinjiekou throughout for easy transfers. It suits travelers with more time who want to see things in more detail.
Crowds peak during Yangzhou's March flower season and Purple Mountain's November autumn colors. Book tickets and reservations in advance.
