Your guide meets you at the Nanjing high-speed train station with a 'Your Way Holiday' sign, and your driver takes you into the city to begin the day. Train tickets between Shanghai and Nanjing are booked for you as part of this tour.
Start on Wutong Avenue, a wide boulevard whose plane trees arch over the roadway. A walk here shows how Nanjing sets its green spaces against city life, and eases you into the day before the busier sites.
Next is the Meiling Palace, the former residence of Soong Mei-ling, who figured largely in modern Chinese history alongside Chiang Kai-shek. Set in gardens, the house blends Chinese and Western styles; inside are its halls, staircases, and period interiors, and outside quiet paths run among the plantings.
In the Zhongshan scenic area, stop at the Music Stage, an open-air platform ringed by gardens and kept company by a flock of pigeons. Your guide explains the site's history and the instruments behind Nanjing's music, the guzheng, erhu, and pipa. Live performances are held now and then but not every day, so they cannot be promised.
Pause for lunch at a local restaurant to try the city's dishes: salted duck, cured and air-dried, and tangbao soup dumplings, thin-skinned and full of hot broth.
After lunch, visit the Confucius Temple, a center of study and Confucian ritual for close to a thousand years. Your guide explains the philosophy and its place in Chinese life, and you can wander the decorated courtyards, halls, and market streets around it, where artisans work and snacks are sold.
The last stop is the Nanjing City Wall, built in the early Ming Dynasty and among the best-preserved such walls in China. Running over 35 kilometers with its gates, watchtowers, and ramparts, it tells the city's military story, and from the top it frames both the old town and the new.
At the end of the day your driver returns you to Nanjing station for the high-speed train back to Shanghai, and you are taken to your hotel.
This excursion includes the booking of your high-speed train tickets between Shanghai and Nanjing. Your guide meets you at Nanjing station, and hotel pick-up and drop-off in Shanghai are part of the tour.
The high-speed train between Shanghai and Nanjing takes roughly an hour to an hour and a half each way, leaving most of the day for the sights.
Yes. The plan keeps to a compact set of the city's highlights: the avenues and Meiling Palace, the Music Stage, the Confucius Temple, and a stretch of the old wall, with lunch in between.
Not necessarily. Performances are occasional rather than daily and cannot be guaranteed; the stage and gardens are still worth the stop.
Go for Nanjing salted duck and the soup dumplings known as tangbao, the two dishes the city is best known for.
Yes. The day ends back at Nanjing station for the train to Shanghai, and your driver sees you home to your hotel.

For a Nanjing day trip I did not expect it to feel this unhurried. The time on the Ming city wall and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was the real draw and they worked around a late start without making us feel rushed. Made the whole leg of our China trip.
Did the Nanjing day trip as a side trip and it beat the big-group version we tried before. Getting there by high-speed train was painless and set the tone. The time on the Ming city wall and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was the real draw and the driver was calm and the transfers ran right on time. Already recommending it to friends.
