Why it’s worth watching this
The Nanjing City Wall is not a relic sealed in history. It still extends close to urban life: on one side is Jiming Temple and the old city tree canopy, on the other side is the open water of Xuanwu Lake. After climbing the city, the mountains, water and city of Nanjing established a relationship in the same field of view for the first time.
It is suitable to go up to the city from Jiefangmen, walk slowly along the Taicheng section, and then go down to Xuanwu Lake. In spring, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at Jiming Temple, while in summer and autumn evenings, it is more suitable to wait for the wind and sunset.
