Nanjing

Yesterday, a group of NYU is Shanghai students took a day trip to Nanjing. It's just over an hour away from Shanghai by high speed train. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy, but we still managed to see a lot of the sights and still get some incredible views! We opted to take a private tour of Nanjing, so we had our own tour bus and guide who took us to these various locations. Sadly, everything was in Chinese, so I'm not really sure what these places are or what their significance is, but this is what little I understood:

view from the high speed train (about 150mph) 

Confucius Temple 

interior that I wasn't supposed to take a picture of.

something having to do with feng shui

river boat ride!

Nanjing city wall, it is the oldest city wall in China
