Nanjing’s Historic Wall!!!

The Nanjing City Wall is one of the most well-preserved ancient city walls in China and a significant historical landmark in Nanjing. Originally built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the wall stretches approximately 33 kilometers (20 miles) around the city and stands as a testament to the city's historical importance and architectural ingenuity. The wall features several impressive gates, watchtowers, and battlements, and it was once an essential part of the city's defense system. Today, it offers a fascinating glimpse into Nanjing's past and provides scenic views of the surrounding area. The wall is a popular spot for tourists and history enthusiasts, reflecting the grandeur of Ming Dynasty fortifications. #chinatrip #nanjing
