Nanjing – It is a fast developing city that was once the Capital of China. It is supposed to be the most attractive of the great cities.

Mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat Sen – This mausoleum is in the beautiful area known as Purple Mountain and overlooks the city of Nanjing. To reach the mausoleum you must climb the 392 marble steps of the stairway that soars up the green hillside. The view from the top is exhilarating. It is not too hard a walk as there are seats and resting areas on the way up. The mausoleum was completed in 1929 and the blue and white colours of it represent the Nationalist Party. Inside the Memorial Hall there is a statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen and beyond that is another marble effigy lying on the stone coffin. Dr. Sun Yat Sen was so revered that everyone who walked passed his coffin was bowing in silence. Dr. Sun Yat Sen was a good Christian man who devoted his life (until his death of liver cancer at 58 years old) trying to make China a strong and prosperous country. If he had not died so early and Mao Zedong had not taken over as leader China would have been a completely different country.
Purple Mountain - The whole are is worth a visit. Other sights to see here are the tomb of Ming Xiao Ling – (the first Ming Emperor). Linggu Temple and Beamless Hall, and the Linggu Pagoda. There is also an Observatory here.

Since we had almost no time to tour while in Nanjing, Emily offered to take us to the Confucius Temple in the old city for lunch. This temple was built in the Song Dynasty (1034). It was destroyed and rebuilt many times. The scenery is very nice as the temple grounds are on the banks of the Qinhuai River. In front of the temple is a golden wishing tree where you can make a wish on a ribbon and through the ribbon up in the tree. The higher you achieve on the throw, the better the chance the wi...
