Introduction

Due to its location east of Nanjing City's south gate, this area is known as "Mendong" in contrast to the west gate area known as "Laomenxi". It is an important part of the Qinhuai scenic belt in Nanjing's Confucius Temple area. Traditional Nanjing homes are mostly clustered in Laomendong, where merchants and scholars gather and aristocratic families choose to settle. The neighborhood has transformed old factories into the Nanjing Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the Jinling Art Museum, and the Old City South Memory Museum, preserving historical buildings and cultural relics. In addition, some studios, century-old stores, cultural entertainment venues, and antique clubs have also been introduced to create a cultural district that integrates historical culture, leisure entertainment, and tourism.
