virescence,the culture atmosphere,and ofcoz,never forget to taste some Nanjing food
The Dr. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is one of the most famous sight in Nanjing. It was built in commemoration of Dr.Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of the Chinese democratic revolution. Its construction started in 1926 and was completed three years later. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's was shipped to Nanjing and buried on June 1st, 1929.
The mausoleum is situated at the southern slope of Zhongshan Mountain and covers an area of 133 hectar. Its layout in the shape of a bell is designed by famous architect Lu Yanzhi with the open country at the front and screen-like peek at the back.
There are 392 ascending steps with 10 landing from the entrance of the Mausoleum to the Granite Hall. It covers a length of 700 meters and a height of 70 meters.
The memorial archway, tomb passage, entrance, pavilion, sacrificial hall and coffin chamber are all located on the axis.
The 392 steps were shipped from different places of China, for example from Beijing, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Qingdao,..
The memorial archway and the roof of the scrificial hall are decorated with 3-colored glazed tiles.
The lofty and spectacular Yuejiang Tower on the Lion Mountain echoes such three famous buildings as Yellow Crane Tower, (you can read about it on my Wuhan Page), Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Tower at far distances, each displaying its distinguish splendor.
It was initially proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang the first emperor of Ming dynasty and for six hundred years existed only on paper; it was constructed in actuality in modern times.
Inside the tower there are different exhibitions.
This temple lies right up against the Ming City Walls and is also close to the Xuanwu Lake. It was first built in AD 527 and has been rebuilt many times since but has retained its original name, which literally means 'rooster crowing', since 1387. The temple features a pagoda which can be climbed for great views over the city and city wall.
