Nanjing is a fascinating city that has played an important roll in Chinese history for thousands of years. With a population of 6 million, it was the former capital of China. Today it is the capital of the Jiangsu Province and is a thriving metropolis of 8.3 million people. Nanjing was first named the capital city in 229 AD during the three kingdom...
Whenever Dave I get the opportunity to travel to China, we jump at it.China still has that allure of being exotic and foreign. We just love stepping off the plane into its intoxicating mix of a culture hanging on to ancient traditions while their futuristic cities lead the world in technology. We hadn’t known anything about Nanjing before going, bu...
It may not be ancient, but Nuishoushan Cultural Centre is very impressive and one of our favorite places to visit in Nanjing. A trolley takes you to the top of the mountain where you can view the immaculate Buddhist Palace that is built into the side of the mountain. Opened in 2015 it is a complex that proves new and modern can be spectacular. Take...
We visited Confucious Temple at night and it is beautiful.China at nightis extraordinary and transforms into a showcase of lights and beauty. The Confucious Temple is located on the Qinhuai River and is surrounded by a pedestrian area filled with temples, gardens, shops, and restaurants. Dating back to 1034 during the Song Dynasty, the temple was r...
It is embarrassing to admit how little we know about Chinese history. Before visiting Nanjing, I had no idea it was the former capital of China, and I had no idea that it suffered greatly during World War II. But that is why we love to travelso much. It is the best education and helps one dig deeper into other cultures and history. It helps us all ...
Considered one of the four famous mountains in Southern China, Purple Mountain is not to be missed! And if the crowds of Chinese tourists are any measurement of how popular it is, I’d say they agree! Covering a massive area of 31 square km (12 square miles) Purple Mountain requires a day to see. There are two major attractions at Purple Mountain, a...
We started our morning at Purple Mountain exploring the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. It is one of the biggest imperial tombs in all of China. Taking 50 years to complete, the Xiaoling Mausoleum dates back to 1381 and houses the remains of the Ming Dynasty’s founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, and his wife Ma, Queen of Xiao Ci of the Ming Dynasty. The maus...
It was a very different experience when visiting Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum a short distance away. The massive crowds formed on the stairs and we joined the throngs of people walking their way to the top to pay respects to the Father of the Republic of China. Our guide told me that Dr. Sun Yat-sen can be compared to George Washington of the United...
If you are a wall lover like us, a trip to the Nanjing City Wall is a must. It is the longest city wall in the world! The original wall was nearly 22 miles long today 15.5 miles are still intact, and six sections are open to the public. Having been to the Great Wall of China and to the Wall of Xi’an, this checked off a bucket list item to round out...
Calligraphy is a huge part of Chinese heritage and when in China, we highly recommend taking a calligraphy class. If we had a big enough place at home, I would gladly have an art studio in my place to practice. Calligraphy is relaxing and I can see how it was used for meditation and contemplation. It is much harder than it looks to master the Chine...

- Visit the Nanjing Massacre Memorial. The Nanjing Massacre Memorial is in remembrance of 300,000 people and a place to learn from history. In 1937, half of the 600,000 helpless people living in Nanjing were slaughtered by the highly disciplined Japanese army when China fought against them in Shanghai for a period of over 6 weeks.
