A city of great historic significance throughout China's long existence. It was the capital of China twice during two different dynasties. As well as being the capital for a short time of the rebel Taiping government in the 1800s. The father of modern China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, was placed to rest here with a huge mausoleum built in his honour. Also one of the biggest displays of wartime brutality happened here when it was occupied by the Japanese during WWII, with the Nanjing massacre.
But aside from all of the history that surrounds Nanjing it still had a really interesting, and fun night life. I went through a couple of different night markets, and also had some awesome food at more then one street stall. While there I also re-meet a Danish couple that I had last seen about a thousand miles away in the south. What else is cool is I am supposed to meet them again sometime soon in Shanghai!
