[Nanjing 1-Day Tour Double Museum Route] Presidential Palace, Nanjing Museum

FAQ

Why is the per-person price higher for a solo booking than for a group booking on the same tour?

Solo travelers on this route are provided with a private car service, meaning you will have exclusive use of the vehicle, driver, and guide throughout the trip.
When multiple people book together, the vehicle and guide costs are shared among the group, reducing the per-person cost. As a solo traveler, the fee you pay covers the dedicated vehicle and driver-guide for your exclusive service. This tour is tailored specifically for you, so the service level differs from that of a multi-person group. The price difference reflects the fundamental distinction in service models. For more information, please contact customer service.

Why are children charged? How do I choose tickets if I'm unsure about my child's height?

The tour cost includes expenses such as the seat and guide service. These resources are calculated based on the number of travelers, so children must pay their share; bed fees and standard attraction tickets are waived.
If you're unsure about your child's height: select the ticket-free option when booking. Upon arrival at the attraction, your child's actual height will be checked. If they meet the ticketing requirements, you can pay the relevant admission fee on site.

What is the most prized treasure of the Nanjing Municipal Museum?

The most prized treasure of the Nanjing Municipal Museum is the "Celadon Dish-Mouthed Pot with Underglaze-Painted Feathered Figures" from the Eastern Wu period of the Three Kingdoms. It pushes the history of Chinese underglaze-colored porcelain back nearly 500 years from the Tang Dynasty, rewriting the history of porcelain. The pot is decorated with mysterious motifs such as feathered figures and magical herbs, and it is the only intact example of its kind ever excavated in the world—a true national treasure.

Which museums are included in the no-shopping Nanjing Day Tour - Double Museum Route?

This Double Museum Route includes two core attractions: the Presidential Palace and the Nanjing Municipal Museum.
The Presidential Palace is an important site in modern Chinese history. It served successively as a Ming and Qing dynasty royal residence, the Heavenly King's Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the office of the National Government during the Republic of China era. It features a blend of Chinese and Western architecture and preserves many office and living scenes from the Republic of China period, making it essentially a museum of modern history.
The Nanjing Municipal Museum is located within the ancient Chaotian Palace complex. It is a comprehensive museum showcasing the general history of Nanjing, with rich collections including Nanjing Man skull fossils, celadon porcelain, and Yunjin brocade. Unlike the Nanjing Museum (the provincial museum), it focuses more on local Nanjing history, and the ancient architecture itself is a beautiful sight.

This Double Museum day tour is purely for sightseeing with no shopping stops. It includes private transfers and guide commentary throughout, making it ideal for travelers interested in history and culture.
