We had loads of fun during our quick visit to Nanjing. We didn't get to see everything, but I've listed below what we saw and what we wish we could have seen.
What we saw:
1. Xuanwu Park - This park is in the middle of the city with a small lake and the historic city wall. We really enjoyed exploring this area both during the day and in the evening.
2. Zhongshan Mt. National Park - We barely scratched the surface of seeing all that this park/mountain has to offer. I would definitely make sure you spend time here as there was so much to see and it was very beautiful. If you are lucky to come during the plum blossom festival, head over to the Ming Tomb area to see them. They were worth the admission into that section of the park.
3. Confucius Temple - This was super touristy and not our cup of tea. It might be worth checking out if you come on a weekday, if not, I'd skip it.
4. Jiming Temple - This is a neat temple conveniently located right off of the city wall. Check it out if you are on the wall and especially if you are vegan/vegetarian. The restaurant inside is very quick, inexpensive, and great spot to grab lunch.
5. WUJIE Restaurant - This is a super fancy (by China standards) vegetarian restaurant. We loved every dish we ordered and the menu was very easy to decipher what was vegan and what had egg/dairy in it. Most of the staff also spoke fairly good English, so it was very easy to communicate and double check that the dishes were vegan. It is located on the 6th floor of the Deji Plaza (phase 2 side) mall. Check out Happy Cow for more details.

We wish we could have seen the Nanjing Massacre Memorial, but we just didn't have time. From what I've read, it's worth checking out.
