From Zhongshan Pier, walk 10 minutes to San Shan Jie Metro Station on Line 1, reaching key areas like Xinjiekou Business District or Confucius Temple in just a few stops. For a more scenic route, take bus lines 304 or 801, which pass through the Qinhuai River scenic area, showcasing traditional architecture and ancient bridges.
Alternatively, rent a shared bicycle near the pier—just 15 minutes by bike to Xuanwu Lake Park, where you’ll enjoy lush greenery and peaceful lakeside paths, perfect for morning runs or evening strolls.
The nearby Tourist Information Center offers free maps, brochures, and multilingual assistance to help plan your itinerary. Some agencies also provide Yangtze River night cruise tickets, allowing you to board at dusk and enjoy panoramic views of Nanjing’s illuminated skyline—a must-do experience for visitors.
