Hello all,
Today was the Chinese National Holiday.
To celebrate one of our students, Sakura took Maggie and I to a few
tourist sites around Nanjing. These locations include the Historical
Museum and Garden of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nanjing Confucius
Temple and the Zhonghua Gate Castle of Nanjing. Each of these places
cost only 30 Yuan a person ($5 CAD).
Before I show the pictures of where we went, here are some shots of the street leading up to the main area.
The first place we went to was the Historical Museum of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Below are a bunch of pictures of the grounds, it was an absolutely beautiful spot.
