Great Day on the Lake
There are many places to rent small motor powered boats on the lake for 140 RMB an hour + 500 RMB deposit. The boats can sit four to six people and we thought the ones with the red and green striped sides and the ones with two animal heads to be the fastest. The duck and swan boats are nice because you can have four to five people seated facing each other but the bird head will block your view. The west side was much less busy so we went that way for the views of the wall, Zifeng Tower and Jiming Temple. Quite a few inexperienced boaters when we went so we kept our distance while we watched people play accidental bumper boats. One hour is more than enough time on the lake and do plan your time because the boats are slow!

Nice huge par where can spent whole day
Huge lake at a middle of Nanjing. At Xuanwu lake can easily spend whole day by walking and resting for while. During my visit, place was not crowded (before Corona pandemic). My absolutely favourite spot were Bonsai garden. If you want have some peaceful moment during visit busy Nanjing, i strongly recommend Xuanwu lake.

Five Islands
We went here late in the day as part of our Nanjing tour. There’s a tram that takes you through the five islands. Since we don’t speak Chinese our guides made sure we sat with them so we could have someone tell us what we were seeing. It was quite busy as it was a beautiful day, and glad we had tour guides/translators. There are a variety of things to do, including swan boat rentals. It was a good place to end our tour as it isn’t too far from the train station.
