it was a great experience. During October you get to see pink muhly, so fluffy and so beautiful that I can sit there and daydreaming 😂 besides that when you reach the foding palace, it’s also very mesmerising to see the carvings and detailing of the building

I loved the zoo. I saw many big cats and many big cats saw me . we saw a wriggly white worm - that was alarming. however the cats made it all better because they roared and the worm wriggled away 🪱

Tour guide is extremely professional, knowledgable and explains everything deeply. It's a lot of walking ups and downs in the heat and waiting time for transfers ,but its worth a visit while u have stamina.

This worked very well, you just scan your QR code to enter. There is quite a lot of walking, even if you use the little blue tourist buses (which accept WeChat Pay (not Alipay) and cash and cost 10 CNY). This is mainly an outdoor activity and Nanjing can be very hot in the summer. The visit will take about half a day and you can reach it with the metro. Furthermore note that most people only speak Mandarin.

We had an amazing experience with our Klook private tour in Nanjing! Everything was well-organized, from meeting us at Nanjing South Railway Station to exploring the beautiful sights of the city. Our tour guide was exceptional, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. What truly stood out was how our guide went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful day. They were patient, attentive to our needs, and always willing to help, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We felt well taken care of throughout the tour. Thank you for making our visit to Nanjing so memorable. We highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking for a personalized and enjoyable experience!

Koreans don't often travel to Nanjing, but it was a city I really wanted to visit. Most Koreans tend to go to places like Shanghai or Chongqing, so it was quite difficult for me to visit the important attractions in Nanjing. Planning was tough, and I didn't even know what there was to see. However, by taking this tour, I was able to easily visit Nanjing's main tourist spots without complicated WeChat reservations or troublesome procedures. WeChat always asks for verification, which is hard for Koreans to do. In particular, I was able to understand the historical sites like the Presidential Palace, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Music Stage, and Meiling Palace thanks to the guide's kind explanations! (I'm so glad I booked this tour because each place has an admission process, and the tourist area is huge, so you need to take a bus to get around. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone.) Although I don't speak much Chinese, the guide made a great effort to communicate with me... 🥰 (They even translated things like whether I needed to use the restroom or when to gather. They also helped me order food, which I'm very grateful for...) For those planning a trip to Nanjing from Korea, I highly recommend visiting all the major attractions through this one-day tour! The itinerary is much more substantial and better than other products. ❤️

What to know before visiting Nanjing

What Nanjing is best known for

Nanjing draws bookings mostly for Tours, followed by Zoos & aquariums and Museums, with Historical sites and Cultural experiences rounding out the top categories. Klook booking data shows a strong seasonal rhythm: demand peaks in January and falls to a trough in August. That pattern means visitors who want lively city atmosphere and fully running experiences should aim for the busier months, while travellers seeking calmer galleries and sites can find quieter conditions in late summer. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or quieter exploration — Klook booking data helps you time it.

Best months to visit and price trends

Demand on Klook peaks in January and is at its quietest in August, while prices across the year move independently at times: prices are typically lowest in August and reach their upper end in May, so crowds and costs don't always match. If you want smaller crowds and lower median prices, consider travelling in August or September; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and don't mind higher prices, January or May suit that mood. Choose lower prices or peak-season atmosphere.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Peak demand HKD 101
February About average HKD 156
March Quieter than usual HKD 148
April Busier than usual HKD 148
May Busier than usual HKD 172
June About average HKD 148
July About average HKD 78
August Very quiet HKD 70
September Very quiet HKD 94
October Very quiet HKD 101
November About average HKD 101
December Busier than usual HKD 117

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to base yourself in the city

Klook booking data shows typical nightly hotel prices range across districts: Xuanwu is the most affordable, typically around HKD 429 per night, while Yuhuatai is the priciest, typically around HKD 834 — roughly 49% higher than Xuanwu. The lower-priced end tends to suit travellers prioritising budget and more economical stays, while the pricier districts suit those wanting a more upmarket hotel experience and are willing to pay more. These Klook figures let you balance cost against the kind of stay you prefer.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

On Klook, most travellers book experiences about 10 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 22 days out; last-minute bookings are common up to 6 days before travel. Because typical booking lead times are longer than a week, treat your trip as a short-term plan and lock in must-do Tours earlier, especially for January and May when demand rises. For quieter months like August, you can afford more flexibility. Use Klook to compare options and secure those experiences you really want with confidence, based on past booking patterns.
