Nanjing City Wall

📍Closest subway station: Xuanwumen (line 1) I had a great time! I suggest you go there about an hour before the sunset so you can enjoy both views. Here’s some information about the scenic spot: “Nanjing City Wall is one of the key historical and cultural remains of Ming Dynasty (1386) under state protection. It is a masterpiece of China's ancient architecture. With an original perimeter of about 35 kilometers (22 miles), the City Wall has a height 14-21 meters (46-67 feet). The footing has a width of 14 meters (about 46 feet). The present remains have a length of about 21 kilometers (13 miles). Nanjing is one of the few cities in China that still have old city walls, and its City Wall is better preserved with most part still remained. Nanjing citizens attach great importance to the work of protecting the wall because the wall symbolizes the history of Nanjing.” #thisischina #historicculture #ancientlandmark #nanjingtravel #citywall #nanjing #sunset #china #solotravel
