C'est un parc d'attraction immense, où tous les monuments sont des reproductions récentes.
On the 2nd day, we went to the buddhist park of 牛首山, which hosts some relics of Buddha.
It is a very big attraction park, where all the monuments are built only recently.
Il fait très froid, comme on peut le voir.
The buildings there are modern and very nice.
Weather is very cold, as one can see.
Looks like mushrooms.
There are even dancers. We feel cold for them!
Les Chinois en raffolent.
Inside, a statue of Buddha sleeping, with light show.
Chinese people love this.
A beautiful painting composed by different types of jade.
Joli mais plutôt bling bling, sans émotion réelle.
And the highlight of the visit: the monument which holds the relics of Bouddha at the top.
Nice but quite bling bling, without real emotion.
Les nombreuses avenues bordées de platanes centenaires font le charme de Nanjing.
After that, we go to the old city.
The many avenues bordered by century-old plane trees in Nanjing are making this city so charming.
On entre dans la vieille ville donc.
We go towards the old walls of the city, still very well preserved over 20+ kms.
Entering the old city then.
La célèbre porte de 中華門, par où les Japonais ont envahi Nanjing en 1937 et commencé le "massacre de Nanjing", où périrent 30000 Chinois.
The famous gate of 中華門, where the Japanese entered the city in 1937 and started the "massacre of Nanjing", where 30000 Chinese were murdered.
The area of 老門東 in old town.
The area is made of old-style houses, many of them actually rebuilt, being now restaurants, shops, etc...
The Starbuck local style.
Cliff and his Chinese zodiac sign of the Rabbit.
Me, it is the Goat.
Just outside the touristic area, houses are typical modern again, with locals.
A typical scene of bicycle-sharing. Orderly parked in their reserved space in Nanjing.
Il y en a partout ici.
And the omninous electric motorbike with windproof cape.
They are everywhere.
