Stone City Park/Guo Fang Yuan

Stone City Park is one of the oldest and most historic places in Nanjing, though it is hard to see that when one goes there. This area of land served as a strategic point for the Kingdom of Chu during the Warring States period (around 330 BC) and Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms. Today, the park is open to all visitors, who can see the (very) ancient fortifications as well as a collection of modern artillery cannons placed throughout the park. At the top of its highest point, there are great views up and down the Qinhuai River. Like Gulin Park, barbeque pits are available here, and cost roughly 55 RMB for 3 people. The park itself is free to enter.
