Republic of China's Presidential Palace in Nanjing. This political reality is still there in Taiwan although many things have changed and evolved. People with a Taiwanese background should visit this interesting place. Nanjing was the capital of the Republic of China and this is why the Father of the Republic, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, was buried in Nanjing.
Nanjing's entrance gate to Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's mausoleum. I really liked the unassuming sacrificial hall and the marble coffin.
One of the entrance gates for the Ming Dynasty Emperor's tomb in Nanjing. The first Ming emperor was buried here. The capital was later moved to Beijing.
Nanjing's QinHuai River night scene. This is a beautiful place, but a little bit too commercialized.
Nanjing's old city wall. It is the longest in China as far as city walls go; only a small portion remains today.
Nanjing's to-be-torn-down sign. The most eminent sign in the rapid modernization of China today. Talk about central planning here!
Shanghai's neighboring town ZhuJiaJiao's old post office. It is one of the first post offices, established about 100 years ago.
Shanghai's Nanjing East Road is a pedestrian-only street now. People enjoy shopping and strolling in the relaxed ambiance.
This guy was playing saxophone from the third floor for the street audiences. He was good at playing the popular oldies.
