City Wall of Nanjing

A breathtaking piece of history! The City Wall of Nanjing is one of the best-preserved ancient walls in China, offering stunning views of the city and the Yangtze River. Walking along the wall feels like stepping back in time, with its massive bricks and historical inscriptions. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a scenic stroll, especially at sunrise or sunset. A must-visit for history lovers and anyone looking to experience Nanjing’s rich heritage!

Looks like a less grand version of the one in Xi'An, this 古城墙 with its unique 4-tier structure, is said to be the longest brick city wall in the world at 35km. I'm not sure how that works against the Great Wall, perhaps the longest complete wall. Entrance fees at RMB30 per person, no pre-booking required, in fact it's probably the least crowded attraction all week. There's a small museum at the top that provides the history of this wall, from how it was constructed to how it was restored. Along the path up, look down and you'll find some original bricks with engraving, indicating the person responsible for making and laying the bricks in that section back then. You also get a superb panoramic view of Xuanwu Lake from this vantage point.

Really long and certainly historic, as it dates back to the Ming period, from the 15th century. Illuminated by a tacky light linear shape from the outside.Goes for kilometres. There is no wait time because there are no foreign or at least non East Asian tourists. Try to ride a bus, as the subway requires air travel grade pat downs and X ray examination of any baggage

Nanjing is the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, there are many old city walls in the city. The total length of the city walls is over 30 km, this session has a great view over the Xuanwu Lake🤩. It is right next to the JiMin Temple so I visited the 2 scenic points at a time.

Such a great place.

Before seeing great wall it's good to visit this place and for us it was free but normally its charging to enter
