The 600-year-old Ming City Wall, which took nearly 30 years, used 280,000 laborers, 350 million city bricks, and mobilized 1 part of the country, 3 guards, 5 provinces, 37 prefectures, and 162 counties. It is the longest, largest, and best-preserved ancient city wall in the world.
This New Year's climb to the city wall to watch performances and enjoy lanterns is a very good experience.
Ok, the weather is just right in the afternoon, the city gate is looking at the water and the city, the scenery is infinite. There are also a lot of people, but there is no need to line up. The name of the craftsman on the masonry, the mottled appearance of the city gate is eroded by the years. I only think of a sentence, I was born to live alone, I love myself.
China Gate is one of the 13 Ming Dynasty Beijing Gates of Nanjing Ming City Wall. Originally known as Jubaomen, it is located at the southern end of Zhonghua Road, Qinhuai District, Nanjing. It sits north and south. It is the largest city gate in China. It is an outstanding representative of ancient defensive buildings. It occupies an important position in the history of world city buildings. It is also the world's most intact, most complex and largest fortress, the city, known as "the first city in the world". Not many people, the experience is very good
The weather is not good when I go, if the weather is good, the scenery should be very beautiful. You can go up from the China Gate and then come out from other doors. If you don't like to walk, you can go down at the China Gate. The China Gate goes up to 80, but Chishiji only needs 50 😂😂😂
Through a city wall, understand the history of a city and even a dynasty. Standing on the city wall, imagine the historical scene of the year. The previous people were really smart. A attraction worth visiting.
Just beside the homestay, I noticed when I went out. I temporarily added this project. The ticket was bought for 50 on the same day. If you save 5 yuan a day in advance, it will be free for people over 70 years old. The whole is very momentum, standing on the city wall and imagining that the soldiers have been here to fight the enemy and not fear death, and I feel proud! Many Tibetan soldiers caves are small exhibition halls, which are worth a look. Just to protect the ancient city wall, many places are reinforced with steel plates, which looks a bit out of place. But protection is more important, and as tourists we also understand.
From the Zhonghua Gate, you can walk all the way to the Confucius Temple. The scenery is very good. It is a good place to walk the baby. I don’t feel tired when I walk around. There are also many snacks near the Zhonghua Gate. You can climb the city building.
