Food and a summer weekend in Nanjing

Expat Natt and her partner travel from Shanghai to Nanjing by high-speed train for a weekend in Jiangsu province. They begin with lunch and sample Nanjing duck and noodles, then explore more local dishes and street food. A large pork dish stands out during the meal, and they also try Western options such as pizza and Australian-style brunch. Their food stops offer a mix of local specialties and familiar choices. They stay at Y Cove by Hyatt near the railway station, which gives them convenient access to transport. When they look for dinner in central Nanjing on Saturday night, the restaurants are busy, so they consider an Italian restaurant as a backup.

Exploring the city in the heat

The couple visits markets, a local cafe with live music, parks, and historical sites during the hot summer weather. Temperatures reach 40°C, making the planned hike to temples more difficult than expected. They consider the distance and heat before deciding how much to walk, and share ticket information for the park. The trip includes views of the city and time for cocktails as well as the historical visits. Natt reflects on the balance of food, culture, and practical planning over the weekend. She says the weekend cost about 2,350 RMB for two people, including hotels, train travel, food, and drinks. Her account shows how the intense heat shaped their plans while they still managed to explore several parts of Nanjing. They leave with memories of the local meals, the summer atmosphere, and the temples and parks they were able to visit. The trip starts with the train ride from Shanghai into Jiangsu, then moves between meals, sightseeing, and downtime at their hotel. At lunch they order Nanjing duck and noodles, and later try street food, including a large pork dish that Natt compares to the size of her face. They also make room for pizza and an Australian-style brunch, showing the range of food they choose over the weekend. In the evening they explore local markets and stop at a cafe where live music is playing. The visit to a temple complex is more demanding than expected: the distance and high temperature make the hike difficult, so they consider their limits rather than pushing through the heat. They rest at the hotel and reflect on how summer weather affects an itinerary. Natt and her partner share details about costs and choices, noting that the weekend total includes their hotel, trains, meals, and drinks. Their account combines popular sights with ordinary moments, from meals and markets to a break after walking. It gives viewers a practical sense of how to pace a short visit to Nanjing in very hot weather, while still making time for local food and historic places.
