This morning, continue your exploration of Nanjing with a visit to the ancient Qixia Temple, one of the most important Buddhist temples in southeastern China. Nestled among picturesque hills, the temple is renowned for its tranquil atmosphere, historic architecture, and rich Buddhist heritage.
Afterward, drive to Yangzhou, a city celebrated for its elegant gardens, rich history, and refined culture. Your first stop is Ge Garden, one of China's four most famous classical gardens and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A well-known saying about the garden goes: "Without stepping outside, one can experience the beauty of all four seasons and leave the hustle and bustle of the world behind."
Next, stroll along Dongguan Historic Street, the best-preserved old street in Yangzhou, where traditional architecture, local handicrafts, and delicious regional snacks offer a glimpse into the city's vibrant past.
In the afternoon, visit the picturesque Slender West Lake, which inspired the famous line, "The moon shines over the Twenty-Four Bridges."

Enjoy a relaxing boat ride through the crisscrossing channels, where ancient trees grow from the water and countless birds inhabit the peaceful surroundings, creating an unforgettable natural experience.
After the tour, drive to Wuxi and check into your hotel in the city center for a well-deserved rest.
