Nanjing City Wall

📍Closest subway station: Xuanwumen (line 1) I had a great time! I suggest you go there about an hour before the sunset so you can enjoy both views. Here’s some information about the scenic spot: “Nanjing City Wall is one of the key historical and cultural remains of Ming Dynasty (1386) under state protection. It is a masterpiece of China's ancient architecture. With an original perimeter of about 35 kilometers (22 miles), the City Wall has a height 14-21 meters (46-67 feet). The footing has a width of 14 meters (about 46 feet). The present remains have a length of about 21 kilometers (13 miles). Nanjing is one of the few cities in China that still have old city walls, and its City Wall is better preserved with most part still remained. Nanjing citizens attach great importance to the work of protecting the wall because the wall symbolizes the history of Nanjing.” #ThisIsChina #historicculture #ancientlandmark #nanjingtravel #citywall #nanjing #sunset #china #solotravel

Another trip idea for Qingming Festival - Nanjing! I managed to pack a ton of activity into one day but there is more than enough to keep you busy in this city for 3 days. First up was the Nanjing City Wall. This wall acts as one of the best kept records of the Ming Dynasty; each brick is inscribed with the name of the official responsible for quality control as well as the city of origin. If your name was on a brick deemed to be of poor quality it was punishable by death 😵 You can honestly walk along the city wall for hours just taking in the sights of the city. Next I checked out Usnisa Palace, a 9-floor Buddhist temple with six of the floors being underground (it felt like I’d taken a million escalators by the time I finally reached the bottom!) Only 3 sections of the temple are open to the public, but they are all absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit. For the last part of my trip I took a boat ride along the QinHuai river. Since this was at night, the lights were gorgeous reflecting on the water. On top of the beautiful lights, there were even dance performances throughout the route of the boat trip! More things to do in Nanjing include the Nanjing Museum and the Nanjing Massacre Museum if you’re interested in learning more about the city’s history and culture. If you’re a foodie like me, you might want to stroll through the Confucius Temple area and snack your way around it 😉 Hands down one of my favorite cities in China. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #travelinspiration #qingmingtravel
