Nanjing is a city that has played an important role in Chinese history for thousands of years. Nanjing (name) the capital city first in 229 AD during the Three Kingdoms period. It has been a capital city many times. It's a place that is relatively unknown foreigners yet very popular with local tourists.
When Dave and I got the chance (travel) to it, we jumped at it. We hadn't known anything about Nanjing before going, but hearing that it was a popular destination from Shanghai, we were excited to explore it. It turns out that Nanjing is one of our favourite(place) to visit in China.
We first went to Nanjing Niushoushan Cultural Park. A trolley (电车) took us to the top of the mountain we could view the immaculate(圣洁的) Buddhist Palace that was built into the side of the mountain.(open) in 2015, it is an example that proves the traditional and the modern can co-exist.
But soon we (realize) that a real treat was inside the palace when we took the escalator (自动扶梯) 6 stories underground to see the Thousand-Buddha Hall. With a height of 28 metres, the golden hall is (impress).
We highly recommend (take) a full day to explore the Niushoushan Cultural Park to visit all the sites on the mountains. And do remember visiting the Usnisa Palace is must.
