Nanjing is one of the four ancient capitals of China and has over 2,500 years of history. Agnes Smedley, a well-known American journalist who lived in Nanjing, said: "If you are an impatient person, you will not be able to understand the beauty of Nanjing." The more you understand the city of Nanjing, the more you fall in love with it.
Nanjing was the ancient capital of the 6 dynasties. In Nanjing, the culture of three periods of Chinese history is almost completely preserved: the period of the 6 dynasties (from the 3rd to the 6th centuries A. D.), the period of the Ming dynasty (from 1368 to 1644) and the period of the Republic of China (from 1911 to 1949)..).
The beauty and romance of Nanjing is reflected in the works of literature and art. In 2019, Nanjing was awarded the title of "Capital of World Literature" by UNESCO. And it was the first Chinese city to be chosen.
The Nanjing City Wall is the longest city wall in the world, with a length of 25 kilometers. From here you can see breathtaking landscapes. Many cultural heritage sites and historical resources are linked by the city wall.
The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is one of the largest imperial tombs in China, the burial place of the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. It became a model for the mausoleums of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasty. Despite more than 600 years of the vicissitudes of life, it still retains its greatness.
More than 3000 years ago, since the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese began to breed sika deer. In the late 14th century, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty raised over 1,000 sika deer in the Xiaolin Mausoleum. It was named "Changsheng deer", which means longevity and good luck. Therefore, the Xiaolin Mausoleum now houses the Changsheng Deer Park. In it, children can get to know and interact closely with sika deer.
The Temple of Confucius, which is located on the picturesque bank of the Qinhuai River, has long been known - a magnificent panorama of Nanjing at night opens from here. Walking east from the old gate, time seems to flow backward, returning you to the era of the Republic of China. Each building is a fusion of antiquity and modernity, China and the West.
