My great-grandmother left Nanking before the Japanese entered. Although this city is not hometown for me, it still has a different weight in my heart. Wish Nanjing prosperity!

[@noahkartha7155]

Wow, that’s wild!

[@Hermit-Crab]

I'm going to China in May for a 10 days vacation and my first stop will be Nanjing!

[@noahkartha7155]

Very cool! Nanjing was also my first stop traveling around China so I have special memories here.

[@manchu-qu9mw]

No other civilizations can compare to the amazing Chinese, in depths, profundity and can be overwhelmingly mixed of emotions. Need to spend a lifetime going into research and studying through. Getting to soak all the experience through the vastness and diversity takes a lifetime. Those Western fools, blinded in cultures and virtue will find how admirable and amazing China is. Westerners and European cultures are nice but incomparable to the great Chinese people.

I love Nanjing, a thoroughly modern city steeped in history.

[@learnchinesewithzilan]

Very nice video. Thank you for showing Nanjing city. Nanjing served as the capital of several Chinese dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty and briefly the Republic of China in the early 20th century. Nanjing boasts a rich cultural heritage with numerous historical sites and landmarks. The city's most famous attraction is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, the burial site of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. The imposing Nanjing City Wall, the Presidential Palace, and the Confucius Temple are among other notable landmarks. But as a Chinese, I have to mention that Nanjing is also a place of sadness for every Chinese. During the Second World War, the civilians of Nanjing suffered mass killings by the Japanese army, with women and children being raped, houses being extensively burned, and cultural relics looted. The innocent civilians who perished numbered over 300,000. Now, in Nanjing, there is a Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Massacre.

it was the capital of Ming dynasty until the 3rd Ming emperor moved the capital to Beijing . He built the largest palace complex ever in the world for his new capital in Beijing

Wow, that’s high praise. Thank you!

[@fssunshineoo9hk]

南京“六朝古都”这个称呼是唐朝人给的，那个时候有很多诗词怀念南京这个“六朝古都”，有一种专门的诗词题材叫做“金陵怀古诗”。 事实上南京还陆陆续续做过其他都城，比如明朝、民国等，所以南京又称为“六朝古都、十朝都会”，而常用的“六朝古都”只是延用唐朝人的说法。

What is the weather like in Nanjing?

[@noahkartha7155]

Hey there! In Nanjing, the weather is generally pleasant with a combination of warm summers and mild winters. Summers are usually hot and humid, while winters are cool and relatively dry. Enjoy your time in Nanjing!

[@kofeesala23]

Actually, I prefer Nanjing to Shanghai. Nanjing is really my kind of city, comfortably hiding in the shadow of Shanghai.
