Snacks along the street
by Trique about Song Shi Mei Hua Gao
This stall along Ma Tai Jie sells very nice Mei Hua Gao.
This snack is made with flour, red bean paste filling and has red dates, raisins & other colourful bits sprinkled on top. Each piece comes in the shape of an ice cream cone and is selling at only RMB2. A must try along this road!
We happened to be there when they were making a fresh batch. Struck me as decently clean tho its along a street.

Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre
by Willettsworld
This was one of the most interesting and harrowing places I've ever visited. The memorial hall was built for the people killed in the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese army in and around the then capital of China, Nanjing, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on December 13, 1937. It is located near a site where thousands of bodies were buried, called a "pit of ten thousand corpses". It was built in 1985 by the Nanjing Municipal Government in memory of the 300,000 victims who lost their lives during the Nanjing Massacre. In 1995, it was enlarged and renovated. The memorial exhibits historical records and objects, and uses architecture, sculptures, and videos to illustrate what happened during the Nanjing Massacre. But some of the most vivid exhibits are those of the people who were executed in photographs taken by Japanese photographers as well as skeletal remains of victims.
