Footsteps here and there: Pt 3

THE CHINESE INSTALMENT: FUJIAN + NANJING + SHANGHAI

My second Nanjing visit

Nanjing 南京
I went to Nanjing to visit Mr Watanabe, whom I haven't seen since I left Japan in 2004. We visited the former Presidential Palace 總統府. Over the centuries, the site served as royal residence, palace to the Taiping rebellion, office of the Nationalist government and presidential palace.





Dinner, drinks and massage in Lishui 溧水, one hour from central Nanjing.
