Itinerary description

An interesting evening walk, before or after dark. There are also historic buildings, museums, boat tours, and other daytime attractions in this area.

The first waypoint is a convenient taxi drop off, at the start of Gudong South pedestrian alley. This area is a very popular evening walking and restaurant area of Nanjing. The main pedestrian walk continues south to the Ming Dynasty City Wall. Smaller lanes and alleys in this area pass a maze of heritage buildings, some converted to shops.

The track continues north, to the very popular Fuzimiao area, and then crosses the river to access the river cruise dock, Confucian Temple, and Imperial Examination Museum.

The track finishes at Metro Line 3 - Confucian Temple - Fuzimiao Station.
