I'm going to Nanjing for the first time this weekend. What's there to see there? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

went there over new year. Seemed not a lot. Places such as Zhong Shan tomb & Ming Dynasty tomb, Fu Zi Temple (night market) are the usual spots.
The old President's Office/Accomocation is quite nice
Found a place like XinTianDi, just at the back of the president's office in the city.
On way back (outside the city and just near the SH-Nanjing highway) may go to Tang Shan 汤山 for hotsprings - there is a hotspring water park (for fun which we went) and also found a nice hotspring place (part of a club house of a group of villas at the hill) - may be good for spa/relaxation.

Zhongshan FengJingqu
The Dr. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
The Memorial Hall for the victimes of the Nanjing Rape in 1937
The Fu Zi / Confucius temple and the old city area
The Xuanwuhu lake and the city wall
The Jiangxinzhou island in the Yantze river

in that sequence

I'm going too. Which station do you take the train from
and is it easy to get a ticket (not time consuming ) ?

Thanks for your replies and suggestions! I now at least have some idea of what there is to do there. I'm not sure where to buy train tickets from as my husband's company has organized all this.
