Nanjing City
Q: Are there many people going to Nanjing for Mid-Autumn Festival? When are there fewer people?
There are many people. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nanjing's key scenic spots saw an average daily visitor flow of about 680,000 people, with the peak from 10:00 to 15:00 on the second day of the holiday, and the evening peak at Confucius Temple lasting until 21:00. Relatively less crowded periods are before 8:00 on the first day of the holiday and after 16:00 on the third day, with core scenic area visitor flow dropping by about 50%.
Q: How can Nanjing avoid crowds?
A one-day tour is feasible. It is recommended to arrive at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum before 7:30, enter the Confucius Temple after 16:00, and visit indoor venues such as the Nanjing Museum during the break. By planning off-peak routes and booking tickets in advance, queuing times at core scenic spots can be cut by more than half.
Q: Is it a traffic jam to drive to Nanjing during Mid-Autumn Festival? How to solve parking problems?
On the first day of the holiday, the Nanjing toll station on the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway is congested for about 3 kilometers from 9:00 to 12:00. It is recommended to switch to high-speed rail. The core scenic lot of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Confucius Temple is crowded during holidays, allowing you to park outside and transfer to Metro Line 2 or Line 3. Public parking lots around the scenic area cost ¥30 per trip.
