Later, emperors of all dynasties built temples and palaces here, and Chaotian Palace became a place for royal sacrifices and worship of heaven. ▪During the Sui Dynasty, Sui Wendi Yang Jian, in order to consolidate his rule over the Jiangnan region, built this Taoist temple for the worship of the gods of heaven and earth, marking the initial construction of Nanjing Chaotian Palace. During the Song Dynasty, Chaotian Palace was repaired and expanded, becoming an important place for royal sacrifices to heaven. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered the reconstruction of Chaotian Palace, expanding the scale of the temple. Nanjing Chaotian Palace became the main place for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven, and the architectural style and artistic decoration of the temple reached its peak. ►Tourist Highlights ▪Lingxing Gate, one of the iconic buildings of Chaotian Palace, a wooden archway-style gate, with yellow glazed tiles embedded on the top, five bays wide, the stairs here have a smooth ramp, and several generations of Nanjing people have played slide here in their childhood. ▪The Dacheng Hall houses the statue of Confucius and the plaques of the virtuous and good of all ages in Nanjing, and is one of the main buildings of Chaotian Palace. ▪The Chongsheng Temple is a place where the disciples of Confucius and the virtuous and good of all ages in Nanjing are worshipped, and the Imperial Stele Pavilion preserves the stone steles of the poems written by Emperor Qianlong when he visited Chaotian Palace five times. ▪In these ancient architectural complexes, you can also enjoy the blooming magnolia flowers and falling ginkgo leaves.

The focus of the Nanjing Museum is not the exhibits (compared with the Nanjing Museum), the Chaotian Palace is currently the largest and best-preserved official ancient architectural complex in the south of the Yangtze River, known as the 'first sight of Jinling'. The lions in front of the gate are rare and cute, pleasing at first sight and lovely at second. Some of the lion's paws have been smoothed to a shine. The gardens, pavilions, and palace walls of the Chaotian Palace are very suitable for taking pictures. It is said that the Chaotian Palace is even more beautiful when the magnolia flowers bloom in spring!

Most of the ginkgo at Chaotian Palace is still green (pictures taken on 11.18) Only two trees are yellow, and they're not completely yellow, but they look better under the sunlight. The weather in Nanjing has been pretty good recently, and the photos taken are also good looking🥳 The first courtyard of Chaotian Palace is free, and the second courtyard charges a fee, 25/person The yellow ones are currently in the charging area This place is relatively niche, not too many people, mostly those who bring children to slide There are also some taking portraits/wedding photos ✌️These two trees are right next to the steps, the effect of taking portraits is very good!

When the flowers are open, like the small Forbidden City, there are often locals who cant go to the Forbidden City. At the red wall of the entrance, here is a very classic photo scene, a red wall with a dragon sculpture on top of it, where you can shoot the nine squares. The entrance to the ticket gate, directly across the palace, this large open space is very suitable for taking pictures, the sun is still very glaring when we come, so some occlusion work is still very good. You can take a portrait of the backlight on both sides or like me, I like to expose a brighter picture, or take some sketches is also very good. The table in front of the palace and the steps on both sides are very good locations for photographing. You can also photograph the buildings above with vertical structure. This is very suitable for wearing costumes, and we are wearing a small sling black, if you change to a brighter color, it will look better. Continue to go back to the last place of the Chaotian Palace. It is a small garden. It is a sway from the Jiangnan water town. There are deep stairs on both sides, blue brick and white walls. Very suitable for the place you love to find. tickets are not expensive, if you can't go to Beijing, then come to Chaotian Palace to see it.
