Nankin

Nanjing Essentials

Known as the 'Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties,' Nanjing’s landmarks span centuries of Chinese history. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Presidential Palace document the city’s role as the Republic’s capital, while the 14th-century Gate of China and Jiming Temple showcase Ming Dynasty engineering and Buddhist heritage. Cultural sites like the Imperial Examinations History Museum and the serene Zhan Garden offer insight into scholarly traditions and classical landscaping, contrasted by the modern commerce of Xinjiekou’s Deji Plaza.
