Things to do in  Nanjing

Visiting the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre can be a sobering experience, but it portrays a significant event in Chinese history where more than 300,000 lives were lost, and it’s well worth a visit. Explore four different areas, including a mass grave, the Peace Park, the Site Square, and Exhibition Area for a comprehensive tour of the memorial hall.

Sun Yat-sen is considered the “Father of Modern China,” and this impressive mausoleum, set in Nanjing’s Purple Mountains, is a memorial to this Chinese revolutionary who overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Visitors can explore the mausoleum and the grounds, where there are several more landmarks, but first, they need to climb almost 400 stairs to reach them.
