The tomb of Dr. Sun Yat-sen is regarded as a masterpiece among all buildings of the former Republic of China. Near the mausoleum are other popular tourist attractions such as the Music Stage, the Liuhui Waterside Pavilion, the Sutra Depository, and other auxiliary memorial buildings.
The Confucius Temple in Nanjing, China, was built as a site to worship the great Chinese thinker. The shrine, known as Fuzi Miao in Chinese, has been the most bustling local cultural and commercial centre since its establishment in 1034. Covering an area of 2.63 hectares, it is surrounded by buildings that harmoniously exemplify the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The 472 hectares Xuanwu Lake Park was the largest Imperial lake garden in China's history. It is also the largest downtown park in the south of China. When inside the park it does not feel like you are in the middle of a huge city. The park is laid out in a traditional Chinese fashion with lots of rocks and walkways. You can see both the ancient wall of Nanjing and skyscrapers behind it. 'Old vs. new' comes to mind in this spectacular place.
