About Nanjing
Nanjing, the capital city of Jiangsu Province and the provincial political, economic and cultural center, is located in the lower reaches of Yangtze River, southwest of the province. As one of the nation's most important cities for over a thousand years, Nanjing is recognized as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Nanjing is famous for human historical landscapes, mountains and waters such as Fuzimiao (夫子庙), Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum (明孝陵), Xuanwu Lake (玄武湖) and Purple Mountain (紫金山).
Fuzimiao (夫子庙)
Fuzimiao (夫子庙), short for Nanjing Fuzimiao and literally called as "Confucian Temple", is located in southern Nanjing City on banks of the Qinhuai River. Within the area are cultural attractions, arts, shopping and entertainment. Confucius Temple was firstly constructed in Nanking Imperial University in 384. The place was destroyed in 1034 during Song Dynasty. Later, it was newly constructed on former site of imperial university and was called Fuzimiao area along with Nanking Fuxue.
Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum (明孝陵)
The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum (明孝陵) is the tomb of the Hongwu Emperor, the founder of the Ming dynasty. It lies at the southern foot of Purple Mountain, located east of the historical center of Nanjing, China. The construction of the mausoleum began during the Hongwu Emperor's life in 1381 and ended in 1405, during the reign of his son the Yongle Emperor, with a huge expenditure of resources involving 100,000 labourers. Legend says that in order to prevent robbery of the tomb, 13 identical processions of funeral troops started from 13 city gates to obscure the real burying site.
Xuanwu Lake (玄武湖)
Xuanwu Lake (玄武湖) is located in Xuanwu District in the central-northeast part of Nanjing in Jiangsu, China. It is near the Nanjing Railway Station and Ji Ming Temple. Five islands within the lake are interconnected by arched bridges. A visit to the lake and its park can include up to a five-hour walk. Within the park are temples, pagodas, pavilions, gardens, teahouses, restaurants, entertainment venues, a small zoo and other attractions. Its main entrance is the Xuanwu Gate, which is part of the Nanjing City Wall that borders the south and east portions of the park.
Purple Mountain (紫金山)
Purple Mountain or Zijin Shan (紫金山) is located on the eastern side of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province, China. Its peaks are often found enveloped in mysterious purple and golden clouds at dawn and dusk, hence its name. A small mountain with an area about 20 square kilometres, Purple Mountain is a mountain related to many historical events of both ancient and modern China. It was originally known as Bell Mountain (钟山) and also became known as Mount Jiang (蒋山) after Sun Quan named Jiang Ziwen, an Eastern Han official whose spirit was said to haunt the site, as the mountain's god during the Three Kingdoms era.
