While staying in Nanjing one cannot pass up an opportunity to visit the Purple Mountain. This is a large park located on a mountain east of Mochou Lake. The mountain is covered with surprisingly thick vegetation and several worthy attractions the most important of which is the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Mausoleum. To see all of what the Purple Mountain has to offer, you should expect to spend the day here. There is a all included ticket sold here for all the attractions on the mountain. I thought that the price for this ticket, Y80, was rather steep for the reason that none of the attractions was really mind blowing but it was probably economical.
The mountain itself can be scaled either by foot, a very nice walk, or by chair lift. I took this means up the mountain because it saved time. It proved to be the correct move as I spent quite sometime here. I walked down the mountain and had an interesting time doing it. I met a group of Chinese university students who spoke reasonable English. They shared some insights into there country that I appreciated. Even more rewarding was the fact that I was the first foreigner they ever spoke English with outside of school. Sadly it very hazy during my walk on the mountain and my pictures of the scenery suffered for this reason. Leave a Comment

It definitely worth hiring a local tour guide for the day. Ask your hotel reception to arrange for this free lance service.

So you can take a digitized picture to ensure that you have the correct background where all the lights are lighted to show friends back home. At least it was taken at the actual site.

From my few trips to Japan during the Cherry Blossoms Festival, it was a v. nice experience to see many workers & professionals alike enjoying the nature (even if it's in the overcrowded city). Life is so much more pleasant if one can enjoy the little moments & make full use of what one has.
On this trip, I was quite surprised to witness the same here in Nanjing. Not that they are not human like the rest of us, but just a preconceived idea about communists, I guess. It's strange in some ways, each of us are brought up with different experiences & teachings, until we actually venture out there ourselves & learned that things can be different, we'll never know how wrong we could be. For this v. reason, I'm thankful I was able to visit many different countries, cultures & talked to many different nationalities. It's life best experiences! Leave a Comment

Between December 1937 and March 1938 at least 369,366 Chinese civilians and prisoners of war were slaughtered by the invading troops. An estimated 80,000 women and girls were raped; many of them were then mutilated or murdered. Leave a Comment

My trip started from Shanghai after meeting up with VTer Jenny (Jiang_Cucha) who had been a gracious host introducing me to the Shanghainese cuisine & special dishes. It was certainly one of the best dinners I've had in Shanghai. Taking the train from Shanghai to Nanjing was the first part of my journey. I was a little apprehensive about Nanjing & the train since it's my 1st time. Not knowing what to expect but having bought the ticket a day ahead it certainly helped in making the journey a much pleasant experience. The train station was very crowded with all kinds of people from all over China; not just city dwellers but also peasants. If anyone should consider taking trains in either China or Japan, do try to lighten up your load as you've to climb lots of staircase to get to the platforms! Anyhow, the ride was smooth for me & the train was much better than I had anticipated. Also, don't bother trying to save on the 'hard seat' as the difference in prices is meagre but huge when it comes to comfort! Leave a Comment

My original plan was to go to Japan for cherry blossoms but due to the warmer weather this year, Japan had an early season by 2 weeks! Luckily for me, I managed to find it here in Nanjing!
Not quite the same... but more memorable instead :) Leave a Comment

Nanjing is an ancient city. It has been the capital of China for 10 times.
