Nanjing Library
Nanjing Library is a place that many people frequented during their student days on weekends. It is the fourth largest library in Asia, and its predecessor can be traced back to the Jiangnan Library established during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The design style here is very interesting, with a hollow circular top and walls made of countless triangular green glass pieces. On sunny days, the sunlight shines on the glass, making it exceptionally dazzling.
Laomendong Pedestrian Street
East of Zhonghua Gate, there is an area that concentrates on the traditional style of Nanjing's old southern city residents and streets, known as 'Laomendong'. Villages appeared here as early as the Three Kingdoms period, and from the Ming Dynasty to the present, it has always been an indispensable part of the Qinhuai scenic belt. It is also a must-visit place to experience old Nanjing customs and taste Nanjing cuisine.
Nanjing Yunjin Museum
As a historical and cultural city, Nanjing preserves a large number of intangible cultural heritages, among which Nanjing Yunjin is one of the representatives. For this reason, Nanjing has specially established the Yunjin Museum. Located at No. 240 Yunjin Road, founded in 1957, behind the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, the Yunjin Museum is the only museum in China dedicated to exhibiting Yunjin works. It houses a large number of exquisite Yunjin works, including clothing, paintings, etc. Here you can see various loom models and experience firsthand how weavers collaboratively use large looms to weave Nanjing Yunjin.
Nanjing also has a modern side. The 'Nanjing Eye' is the first sightseeing pedestrian bridge over the Yangtze River. The bridge, over 800 meters long, features two giant rings suspended by steel cables. As night falls and the lights come on, the bridge's lights change colors, offering a beautiful view.
