Yue Jiang Lou

Yue Jiang Lou is, for lack of a better description, a large castle on top of a big hill overlooking the Yangzi River. If that does not peak your interest, then I am not sure what will, because this is probably the most dramatic tourist spot within Nanjing City besides Dr. Sun Yatsen’s Mausoleum. The park itself is comprised of both the hill and castle on top, and everything can be reached with the purchase of only one ticket, which costs 35 RMB per person. Within the castle, there is a courtyard and two seperate buildings, both of which are accessible and climbable. From the very top of the highest tower, the views are truly impressive. This is a spot that should not be missed.
