1, you can take bus 17, get off at Yudao Street, and cross the road to the west gate of China Southern Airlines (China Southern Airlines has three gates: west, north and east, so you can usually go to the west gate. If you are under the Ming Palace Museum, you can go to the North Gate, which is on Zhongshan Road. The gate is so big that you can see it at a glance. It's only one stop from the Forbidden City to Yudao Street.

2. After coming down, there are many hotels of various grades near the Forbidden City or Ruijin Road. Just choose one according to your own financial situation. Both places are convenient for eating. There are many small restaurants, such as the gate of China Southern Airlines and Wulongqiao, which specialize in student business and are not expensive.

There is nothing to play near there at night, but the Ming Palace Park and Wumaomen Park. In fact, these two parks are connected together, only separated by a road. There is nothing to play. This is a citizen park, free of charge.

If you are interested, take a bus to Ruijin Road to see the Confucius Temple, which is quite lively at night. How many buses are there from Ruijin Road to Confucius Temple? I don't remember. Then look at the license plate. If not, take a taxi. Not expensive, more than ten dollars.

If you are not interested in Confucius Temple, you can also take Metro Line 2 to Xinjiekou, which is the center of Nanjing, and just stroll around.
