There are lots of tombs in Nanjing. Today we visited the tomb of Sun Yisen's and Ming Taizu's (Zhu Yuanzhang). Before we return to the hostel, we stayed for a while in Xuanwu Lake.

unfading history
What a good luck, I could browse these familiar scenes on-line. Just before I started my elmentary education, I was guilded by some people to the tomb of Ming dynasty & modern political leader, Sun yisen's tomb. There were not so many tourists during that time, and rainy, cloudy day brought a very special (perpetual)tranquillity in my whole heart. Since then, I have never to pay a second visit to these two places. I can not compare it with Jing hill, which is located in Beijing, where the final Ming dynasty was buried by a rebelist Lee from Shanxi, mizhi. Did people take photoes like today? I guess they would not. Ming dynasty's smart stone sulptures, modern black marble architectures reflected in Sun's tomb, left a deep impressive image by the sense. Just simply hope that the high taste of China ancient spiritual beauty would not be destroyed by the crowed tourists.
