 The rockery of the Zhanyuan
Garden. by Paul2001
The garden itself has a fine rockery and a large pond full of goldfish. At the time of my visit, there was a photo shoot being conducted by a fashion magazine which was fun to watch.
The Zhanyuan Garden is open from 8am to 5pm and admission is Y10. The garden and museum are located around the corner from the Confucius Temple. There is a pedestrian mall and market nearby. Leave a Comment

VERY hard to find. I walked for almost 2 hours up and down Shengzhou Lu trying to find it and no one knew what I was looking for. (I don't have communication problems!) If you're using a Chinese map, it's not where it looks like it should be.
Walk northwards from Zhonghua Lu till the junction with Shengzhou Lu, turn left into Shengzhou Lu, then keep walking till you see Zhongshan Nanlu on your right. There's a big ticket office building for long-distance buses at the corner of the junction. Turn right and continue walking down Zhongshan Nanlu and keep an eye out for a big gateway on the left-hand side with 4 Chinese characters on it; if you can read Chinese, it should say "Gan1 Jia1 Da4 Yuan4". If you're asking for directions, asking for this will help MUCH more than asking for a museum, or even asking for the street which the museum is located on! Go through the gateway and walk for a bit, look for no.15 on your left, and that's the museum. The address is 15 Nanbuting (that's Nan2 Bu3 Ting1), call them if you really get stuck! It's quite a big compound so try not to get lost inside :P and there're traditional puppet performances at 1030 and 1430. Leave a Comment Phone: 86-25-52217104/5104

This is a must-see museum & also the actual mass burial site that commemorate those who had sacrificed in the massacre of 1937. Almost the entire population of Nanjing then has been wiped out by Japanese troops during their sino-invasion. Young men were imprisoned & tortured for biological research or beheaded. While women were forced to become sex slaves or being raped & killed brutally.
Inside this memorial, you can see many gruesome photos with starking explanation / caption. Please note that some of the photos might be too graphical & can be disturbing to the mind.
There is one glass enclosure where you can see all the skeletal remains ranging from infants to elderly. All the skeletons are properly labelled with the deceased's identification.
At one side of the mural, you can see all the names of those sacrificed. At the front compound, it's the actual mass burial site which is covered by heaps of rocks.
Kindly note that you are not encouraged to take photo or video in this museum as this act does not respect the dead. Japanese are not allowed admission unless with special permission from relevant authorities. Leave a Comment

I felt that this will be a very good spot to view the scenery of Yantse River. However when I were there in 1997, it was closed for maintance. Leave a Comment

Can consider visiting this hot spring if you want to try something different. Add: Jiang Ning Qu, Tang Shan Zhen Wen Quan Lu 8 Hao
Cost RMB 128 per person. Swimming costume is a must. Place is like a swimming complex with 40 to 50 pools with varying temperatures and themes. I like the ginseng and lingzhi pools. The pool with fishes is rather disappointing with lots of people and not many fishes. FYI, the fishes are supposed to nibble on your dead skin, giving you an exfoliation. Interesting isnt it? Too bad it didnt work out.
We took the Nan Tang (direct translation, South Soup) route from the bus stop at Nanjing train station. The bus was very infrequent and we waited 45 mins for the bus and another 1 hour on the road. Upon alighting at the Tang Shan Wen Quan, it was a 15-20 mins walk to the resort itself. Unfortunately, we were fixated on this approach and did not consider other options intially. Later we found that a one way cab ride cost RMB 80. Definitely a preferred approach in my opinion.
No pictures from this place as I was too exhausted by the time i reached there and too sleepy after dipping into the hot spring pools.
