Nanjing City Wall

Magnolias outside the Nanjing city wall are in bloom 😍! They are so beautiful that they bring tears to your eyes 😭! A few days ago, the beautiful scene I captured here blew up my social circle 🎉, everyone was asking me where I took the photo from 📷! Compared to the crowded Linggu Temple 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, there are really few people around these magnolias under the Hanzhong Gate city wall 🤷, you can take photos however you want 🤳! 📅 March 16th was the day when the flowers were at their most beautiful 👍, I feel like this year's magnolias are rarely blooming so well 🤩! I guess they can still be enjoyed for another 2 or 3 days 😜~ The last two photos are unfiltered real shots from a smartphone 🤳, aren't they incredibly beautiful 😍! 📍 Hanzhong Gate Square 🚇 Subway line 2 Hanzhong Gate Station Exit 4

Nanjing City Wall, the Tai City scenic area recommended by the locals. Type of activity: Viewing the night scene The Nanjing Ming City Wall is not only the largest ancient city wall still existing in our country, but also the most intact and longest ancient city wall in the world today. It is a place that I had been looking forward to visiting on this trip to Jinling. Just as the Medicine Buddha Pagoda at the ancient Jiming Temple was lit up, I chose to take a night tour of the Tai City Wall, which is highly recommended by the locals: located between Jiming Temple and Xuanwu Lake, from the city wall you can overlook Jiming Temple, Zifeng Tower, and it is said that you can also see Purple Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain. There is a fee to go up the city wall. This is to better protect the cultural relics and improve the quality of tourist services. The city wall scenic area regularly opens up for 'night tours', and I took one at the end of March during the cherry blossom season. Although there are many internet-famous night scene installations on the city wall, without the lighting of the Medicine Buddha Pagoda, the attraction is not very strong. Therefore, going up the city wall during the day can actually capture more beautiful scenery.

📍Closest subway station: Xuanwumen (line 1) I had a great time! I suggest you go there about an hour before the sunset so you can enjoy both views. Here’s some information about the scenic spot: “Nanjing City Wall is one of the key historical and cultural remains of Ming Dynasty (1386) under state protection. It is a masterpiece of China's ancient architecture. With an original perimeter of about 35 kilometers (22 miles), the City Wall has a height 14-21 meters (46-67 feet). The footing has a width of 14 meters (about 46 feet). The present remains have a length of about 21 kilometers (13 miles). Nanjing is one of the few cities in China that still have old city walls, and its City Wall is better preserved with most part still remained. Nanjing citizens attach great importance to the work of protecting the wall because the wall symbolizes the history of Nanjing.” #ThisIsChina #historicculture #ancientlandmark #nanjingtravel #citywall #nanjing #sunset #china #solotravel

History: "The largest city wall in the world is in Nanjing. The wall is over 32km long. It was built to defend the city against coastal pirates. The construction of the wall required the labor of 200,000 workers over 21 years to complete. This city was laid out in much the same pattern as Beijing; indeed Nanjing’s was the pattern for Beijing’s Forbidden City". Now I'm sharing you the beautiful views from the top of the wall. The wall is something everyone should experience. It's quite a view up there and a great history of China. 📍Closed subway stations are : Line 1 Xuanwumen Station / Line 3 NFU / Line 3 Jimingsi 📍Entrance Fee : 30 yuan Enjoy!🙈 #ancientarchitecture#ancientlandmark#historicculture#culturalattractions

The city wall, an outline of an ancient city, represents the "face" of the city in a certain sense; "The city gate is several zhang high, thirty-six zhang high. Riding a white horse, carrying a sword, walk under the city gate once." This nursery rhyme, well-known to the people of Nanjing, doesn't it always fill you with affection when you hear it? It is a symbol of Nanjing's culture, as well as a nostalgia deep in the hearts of Nanjing's people. The Nanjing city wall has endured more than 650 years of vicissitudes, and throughout these long years, the capital city wall of the Ming Dynasty, though it has seen many changes, still preserves 25.1 kilometers of its wall and city gates, making it the longest existing ancient city wall in the world. It is precisely its existence that gives Nanjing a unique and unparalleled character. The Ming city wall is an important business card of Nanjing, a symbol of the city, and also a place where the emotions of the people of Nanjing reside; walking on the greenway of the city wall, one can see the scenery of the Qinhuai River; boating on the Qinhuai River, the city wall is in sight. The urban cultural landscape of "one city, one river, the city and water blending together" is full of surprises everywhere. The rich historical and cultural resources have shaped Nanjing's unique temperament and heritage, giving it a distinct identity in the process of modernization where thousands of cities look the same.
