If there is a place on this trip that we would have to sacrifice, i would strongly recommend Nanjing.
Not that i hate the place, but the impression wasn't very nice.
It was raining non stop and the sky was so gloomy when we reached Nanjing and of all places, we went to the Nanjing Massacre Memorial. I know that we should pay our respect for the victims. But the weather was dark and gloomy, the atmosphere and ambiance was solemn. The impression of the place was not v comfy.
Anyway, we arent suppose to take any pics there so i didnt.
After that visit, we went for our dinner. The streets of Nanjing is filled with lighting. Reddish mostly..which look abit like a red light district everywhere.
We were then guided to their local shopping area and Semir apparently is their local branded shop..something that is equivalent to Zara...but i felt the concept and look of it was more nearer to Bossini.
Here's our local guide Xiao Li, i think she speaks well and quite educated.
I will never stay in this kind of hostel...and i hope Vincent wont be considering these when we go taiwan.
Since i only brought $150 to spend..i prefer to take pictures than shopping..haha
This small girl from my group is very cute, look abit like my cousin..
The people in China look to chew sugar cane..i don't see anyone selling sugar cane juice there.
The next morning, they brought us to see Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. The first bridge to be built across the Yangtze River in Nanjing, China. It was completed in 1968 and is the first double-decker, double-track highway and railway bridge designed and constructed by the Chinese without outside engineering assistance.
After the withdrawal of Soviet experts following the Sino-Soviet Split, China was thought to be unable to build a bridge on such a scale by themselves, without outside support. The project was undertaken to prove that Chinese engineers were able to overcome this perceived lack of ability.
It's a gigantic masterpiece and includes a bus stop at the top of it, next to a museum. On the western side of the bridge, a new city is currently being developed.
It is 6,772 meters (22,212 ft) long and has a span of 160 m (525 ft)—it can take up to 15 minutes to cross during regular traffic periods.

Our next stop was the friendship store that sells jade...Mum got herself a $800 jade after a few dramatic conversations between the local guide and the sales.
The local guide and the sales explaining and teaching others about checking jade.
Test and wear session
On and all, i don't like this place that is why, i took so little pictures here. I definitely wont be revisiting this place anymore.
