You must always visit the Nanjing city walls in the rain, City Walk guide

You must always visit the Nanjing city walls in the rain, City Walk guide. The Nanjing city walls are the longest, largest, and best-preserved ancient city walls in the world, with a history of over 600 years (Ming Dynasty walls). During the May Day holiday, despite the continuous light rain, I still took half a day to experience the Nanjing city walls City Walk. Walking on the city walls in the rain, although there is less of the bright sunshine, there is an added sense of tranquility and depth. The rain threads like a fabric, sprinkling on the city walls, bringing waves of coolness and peace, making one feel particularly comfortable. The mottled blue-gray bricks and tiles seem to tell the tales of a thousand years of vicissitudes, and the moss that appears after the rain is a unique historical mark of the ancient city wall. After being soaked by the rain, these ancient bricks and stones seem to be rejuvenated, appearing even more profound and resonant. Climbing the city walls to overlook the entire city, the most beautiful scenery is in full view, each frame is like a blockbuster. In the rainy season, on the Nanjing city walls, you can see a different style of Jinling. Here's my recommended route: First, visit the City Wall Museum, then visit the Wengcheng at Zhonghua Gate, then climb the city wall, and finally descend the wall at Chishiji, followed by a stroll through Laomendong. The whole process is very comfortable and relaxed, and along the way, you can also see the Dabao'en Temple. In the evening, there is an immersive live performance at Zhonghua Gate. Friends who like to watch performances can pay attention to it. Let me talk specifically about Zhonghua Gate, originally called Jubao Gate, which was part of the Ming Dynasty Jinling city walls. Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang was building Jubao Gate, the city wall collapsed. After listening to the advice of a strategist, he used Shen Wansan's treasure basin to bury at the base of the city wall to suppress it, and then Jubao Gate was built. Zhonghua Gate has three Wengcheng set up inside the city gate, which is the most well-preserved, complex, and ingeniously designed ancient city gate in China. It is known as 'the first Wengcheng in the world' and is very worth visiting. Zhonghua Gate was also one of the main battlefields of the 1937 Battle of Nanjing. Thousands of Chinese soldiers fought bravely here, and the gate tower was destroyed in the Japanese artillery fire and has not been rebuilt since.
