Stroll through Wuyou Square, admire the giant stone carvings, and visit the “Durian-shaped” Foding Palace, the largest building in Nanjing.

The part around Niushou Buddism Mountain Half Day was unhurried, which mattered more to me than squeezing in one more stop. Nanjing was a good counterpoint.

What helped was simple: there was no theatrical “VIP” treatment, just useful organisation and a guide who noticed when we needed a pause. That suited us. With 5 hours to work with, the balance felt sensible.

Looking back, I would check the weather and dress in layers. We moved between the vehicle, open spaces and indoor sites often enough to notice the difference. The time around Niushou Buddism Mountain Half Day was not the part I would cut.

Looking back, I had a long list of things I thought I needed to see. After Nanjing, I was happier slowing down and noticing fewer things properly.
