Yangzhou · Day Trip
The ancient capital's mausoleums, wall and Qinhuai nights — an hour by high-speed rail.
Morning train (about 1 h) to Nanjing South, then metro line 2 to Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum — the 392 blue-tiled steps.
Ming Xiaoling's stone-elephant avenue and the old city wall; lunch in the Confucius Temple quarter.
The lantern boats of the Qinhuai River, then the evening train back to Yangzhou.
