Hi Aritra, You can take a taxi or subway Lane 2 to get to the Purple Mountain. You also can take Bus No. 9 or Bus Y1 from the city. You can catch Bus No. 9 at Xinjiekou. Many other buses go there.The major mountain is the Purple Mountain in the Park. But you can visit Xuanwu Lake, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and Linggu Temple.
Sir or Madam,
i do not know whether there is evenning show at Nanjing, usually our clients might take free walk around Xuanfu Lake or the evening cruise along Qinghuai River. You could check the price and schedule at some downtown hotels (e.g. Xuanwu Hotel Nanjing or Mandarin Hotel). Good luck!
