Nanjing Ming Palace Ruins Park

Walk nearly one kilometer from the Nanjing Museum to another free heritage park~

After Zhu Yuanzhang established Nanjing as the capital, he built the Ming Palace, which was the blueprint for the Forbidden City in Beijing. From the restoration map, we can see how huge and magnificent this palace was at that time...

Unfortunately, due to historical weathering and war, the above-ground buildings no longer exist except for the stone foundations buried underground...

So this place basically becomes a place for people to take a leisure walk...



I think it is a wise choice to put Nanjing Museum and Ming Palace Ruins on the same route [hehe] Anyway, they are free, it would be a waste not to see them [yeah]

The Nanjing Palace Museum was built in the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1392) and served as the imperial palace for three dynasties in the early Ming Dynasty for 54 years until the 19th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1421), when Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the Taiping Army demolished the building materials of the Ming Palace to build the Heavenly King's Palace. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, the Taiping Army set fire to the city. The Hunan Army also set fire everywhere after looting, and the Ming Palace was completely reduced to a pile of ruins.

The Forbidden City in Beijing was built based on the model of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and the shape is basically the same.

The former emperor's palace has disappeared, and a park for people's entertainment has been built on the original site. Only the huge column bases scattered on the lawn still tell of the past glory.

The Ming Palace is a park, so no tickets are required. Walking in from the Meridian Gate, you can see the dilapidated brick walls and mottled moss, which gives you the feeling of revisiting an ancient capital and seeing a lonely city in its twilight years.

Climbing up the wall along the stairs, it was quiet and deserted all around, without a single tourist in sight.

The Meridian Gate faces Yudao Street. Due to the hazy mist, you can't see the end of the street when looking from the central axis. All you can see is a straight road splitting the roadside trees into two halves in the east and west across the sky.

As the imperial palace of the three dynasties in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Palace has experienced countless vicissitudes in the long river of history. If you are lucky enough to visit here, you will never imagine that this old site of the imperial city was built by the ancients moving three mountains and filling Yanque Lake.

As the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Nanjing, renamed it Tianjing, and chose a new site to build a new palace, a large number of stones and bricks from the Ming Palace were dismantled. Walking along the bridge, you can see the vaguely preserved foundations of various stone pillars. Although they are only ruins, the splendor of the palace can still be seen in your mind.

People try to recreate the old dream with modern technology on the old site, giving people a kind of intoxicating comfort. But the red and yellow buildings that look like but not like the spirit are not as lovely as the remaining stone lions. Perhaps contemporary architects have ignored the imagination given to people by history in their vanity of seeking quick success.

The ruins of the three main halls are displayed on the site. Only the stone column bases and the platform are left to prove its existence. The surface has been leveled into a people's park, and it is no longer possible to tell that this was once a palace.

The north gate of the park is the boundary between the outer court and the inner court. After passing through this gate, you will see the "Three Palaces and Six Courtyards". The dragon-patterned stone wall has also been weathered. There are many cracks on it, and I don't know how long it can last. The Xumi pedestal is also used under the doorway, but it is also damaged. The threshold has been damaged. The notch of the wooden door in the doorway can be clearly seen. The Jinshui Bridge is similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing, so it is said to be its blueprint. The column base on the Meridian Gate can imagine the height and majesty of the Meridian Gate Tower in the past. The weathered bricks on the Meridian Gate wall. Looking south from the Meridian Gate, this was the central axis of the imperial city in the past. The stone pavement no longer exists, and now it is the Imperial Road Street.

The Nanjing Palace Museum, also known as the Ming Palace and the Nanjing Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of Yingtianfu (Nanjing), the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It took more than 20 years to build and covers an area of ​​more than 1.0125 million square meters. It is the largest palace complex in the world in the Middle Ages and is known as the "World's No. 1 Palace". As the epitome of palace architecture in ancient Chinese capitals, the Nanjing Palace Museum's architectural style was inherited by the Beijing Palace Museum. It is the prototype of Ming official architecture and the blueprint of the Beijing Palace Museum.

There's actually nothing much in there now. I just went there to take a look when I passed by. It's really not worth going there specially, but it's nice to stop by and take a break.

Although only ruins remain, the magnificent scene of the past can still emerge in our minds through the palace gates and various stone column bases that have been preserved to this day.

Now only the Meridian Gate remains. Imagine the glory of the past. The park is full of old ladies and old men dancing and flying kites. It is a place for citizens to relax.

There is really nothing in the Ming Palace Ruins Park

Not recommended to come here to play

The ruins of the Ming Palace are basically just an open park. It is free and a great place for a walk and leisure.

There is only a vacant lot left here, with the foundations still preserved, but the buildings are long gone.

If you go to the Ming Palace in Nanjing now, you will find a large piece of desolate and yellow land with stone tablets standing on them with eye-catching inscriptions of Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, Jinshen Hall... The magnificent palaces that you once saw on TV related to the Ming Dynasty are now bare, with only the remains of a park. It is even worse than the Old Summer Palace. The palace where Zhu Yuanzhang once lived has been completely unrecognizable and has become what it is today.

This place has become a vast leisure place for middle-aged women and men.

Once glorious, now desolate, the Ming Palace suffered from wars, and later generations know the value of peace. Fortunately, his replica, the Forbidden City in Beijing, is still intact, and I feel relieved.

The impact of history is overwhelming. This city really carries too much.

It is recommended to visit for 1 hour. The Ming Palace Ruins Park is right next to the Nanjing Museum. It only takes three minutes to get there by ofo. The park is free and is a good place for citizens to take a walk and relax. There are many uncles writing calligraphy with water. It is really a master among the people.

Standing in front of the South Gate, I could only feel a sense of desolation. The potted plants in front of the gate were damaged and no one cleaned them up, which made the scene even more desolate and heartbreaking.

These scenes nowadays do not seem to give us much to gain, and we can only imagine them from the various text introductions in the ruins park. There are some old people doing fitness on the left side of the square, and a book stall on the right side. The leaves of ginkgo trees are falling with the wind and scattered all over the ground. During this period, sanitation workers are working hard to clean them up. History has gone away with the wind and been forgotten in the ruthless years. There are not many things to see there, and there is an inexplicable sadness in my heart. As time goes by, things are different and people are different. This is what it means that autumn is lonely since ancient times.

The Nanjing Ming Palace, built in 1366, is located in the east of Nanjing. It was the imperial palace of the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle. It is magnificent and antique. It is said to be the blueprint of the Ming and Qing Palaces in Beijing. Unfortunately, the Qing army entered the pass and the Nanjing Ming Palace was destroyed in the war. So when I came, I saw only the ruins of the palace. Standing in front of the ruins of the Jinshen Hall and the Fengtian Hall, I can only imagine the glory of this place in the past.

The ruins park is not very big, there are not many things to visit, and there are busy traffic roads around it, so no tickets are required.

It is difficult to see any traces of history now. A fire had burned it beyond recognition.

Not far from the Nanjing Museum, there is now a park where you can go for a stroll.

In a small park, citizens were flying kites, and it felt like there were few traces of history left.

The Ming Palace is the Forbidden City in Nanjing, the imperial palace of Yingtianfu (Nanjing), the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It took more than 20 years to build and covers an area of ​​more than 1.0125 million square meters. It is the largest palace complex in the world in the Middle Ages and is known as the "World's No. 1 Palace". As the epitome of palace architecture in ancient Chinese capitals, the Nanjing Palace was inherited by the Beijing Palace Museum in terms of its architectural style. It is the prototype of Ming official architecture and the blueprint of the Beijing Palace Museum. However, the building has now disappeared, leaving only the ruins, which is a place for citizens to rest.

Don't go there, there is really nothing there, just a park for morning exercises.

I personally like this park very much. It is very beautiful when the weather is good. It is not a famous tourist attraction and there are not many people. It is quiet and comfortable.

Ha~ Just stop by and take a look~ It's not very big~

A park, visiting Nanjing, staying next to the Ming Palace. There were vendors selling pirated books in the park, so I went into the park to take shelter from the rain.

The Ming Dynasty was only a few hundred years ago, and there is no trace of the palaces of the past. This city is full of historical sites, and history is just an everyday thing for Nanjing.

It's just a park. If you go to the museum, you can visit it as it's right next to it, but there's no need to make a special trip.

The Ming Palace is one of the four major palaces in China. It was once the largest palace complex in the world in the Middle Ages. However, it is now in ruins. You can say that there is a Meridian Gate and some broken eaves and broken walls. They stand among many high-rise buildings, perhaps just to prove that this palace once existed. The Ming Palace was once the imperial palace of the three dynasties in the early Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing never became the capital of the Ming Dynasty again, but it also served as a capital. With the decline of the Ming Dynasty, this imperial palace in Nanjing was gradually abandoned and eventually became a ruin. The walls of the Meridian Gate are very high and majestic. Perhaps from here you can imagine how magnificent the former imperial palace was. I have consulted the information before and learned that the Nanjing Palace is the blueprint of the Beijing Palace. Through it, you can also imagine what the Nanjing Palace looks like. Indeed, the Golden Water Bridge and the three main halls are found here. These are also in the Beijing Palace. It's just that the one in Beijing is a palace, while the one in Nanjing is a ruin.

Cost: Free

Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 and get off at Ming Palace Station

The place with the city gate is now called Wuchaomen Park. Opposite it is the Ming Palace Ruins Park. There are many children playing there and it is very lively.

It's hard to realize that this is a tourist attraction. It just feels like an ordinary park in the city, which happens to be located on the site of the Ming Palace.

Nanjing Ming Palace Site Park is located in the former Ming Dynasty imperial city site in the east of Nanjing. It is bounded by Zhongshan East Road in the south, across the road from Wuchaomen Park, and to the north by Bei'anmen Bridge. The area enclosed by Ming Palace Road on both sides covers an area of ​​about 55,474 square meters. Historically, the Ming Palace was commonly known as the "Forbidden City".

After arriving at Nanjing Station in the morning, I went to the Ming Palace after storing my luggage. But after entering, I saw the ruins of the Palace Museum. Although it cannot be compared with the existing Palace Museum in Beijing, it also reflects the architectural craftsmanship of the early Ming Dynasty because of the limited financial resources at the time. After coming out of the Ming Palace Museum, I found the first food I wanted to eat after arriving in Nanjing on a road on the right side of the Palace Museum...handmade noodles. Entering the store, the shop is not big, but it is very clean. The chef rolls the noodles with a stick, and then cuts them into thin noodles evenly, and pairs them with shredded chicken cooked in his own store. It is full of flavor. It is worth going to taste. This is also the first snack after arriving in Nanjing, but it left a good impression on my daughter, saying that Nanjing snacks are indeed well-deserved.

This is really just a ruin. Behind the door is a park for citizens to relax. Alas...

It's actually a heritage park, there's nothing there

As expected, just like the ruins of the Weiyang Palace in Xi'an, only the foundation of the palace remains. This is indeed directly related to the fact that Chinese palaces, which are mainly made of wood, are not easy to preserve. Today, it is difficult to even call the platform of the broken walls and ruins on the green grass. Who would have thought that it would be the first trace left by the Ming Dynasty?

It's just a small park for people to take a walk, and you can't even see any ruins there.

In the evening, I happened to pass by this place from the Nanjing Museum. The originally majestic Ming Palace has been in turmoil for hundreds of years since Zhu Di moved the capital. Only part of the stone foundation and the Five Dragon Bridge and Chaowu Gate (i.e. Wumen) in the south remain. After adding trees and green belts, it has become a place for citizens in the old city to relax and exercise after dinner. When night falls, the red light is projected on Chaowu Gate, and the majestic appearance of the main gate of the Ming Palace can be vaguely seen. After all, the original area of ​​the Ming Palace is almost twice that of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The Nanjing Palace Museum, also known as the Ming Palace and the Nanjing Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of Yingtianfu (Nanjing), the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It took more than 20 years to build and covers an area of ​​more than 1.0125 million square meters. It is the largest palace complex in the world in the Middle Ages and is known as the "World's No. 1 Palace". As the epitome of palace architecture in ancient Chinese capitals, the Nanjing Palace Museum's architectural style was inherited by the Beijing Palace Museum and is the blueprint for the Beijing Palace Museum.

The Nanjing Palace Museum faces south from the north. Its general scope extends from Zhongshan Gate in the east to Xi'an Gate in the west, from Houzai Gate in the north to Ruijin Road in the south. There are four gates: Wumen in the south, Donghuamen in the east, Xihuamen in the west, and Xuanwumen in the north. Entering Wumen is Fengtian Gate, which contains the main hall Fengtian Hall. In front of the hall are Wenlou and Wulou on the left and right. Behind it are Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall. The inner court includes Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, as well as six east and west palaces.

In November 2012, the ruins of the Ming Dynasty capital of Nanjing were included in the Chinese World Cultural Heritage Tentative List together with eight other city heritage sites as one of the heritage sites of the China Maritime Silk Road project.

In the 26th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1366), the construction of the Nanjing Palace Museum began. It was located in the northeastern suburbs of Jiqing City in the Yuan Dynasty (i.e., the eastern part of the center of Nanjing). It was initially called "Wu Wang's New Palace" and later "Imperial City". In the 4th year of the Ming Dynasty (1402), Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, conquered the capital, and as a result, "the capital fell and a fire broke out in the palace", burning down the Fengtian Hall and other palaces. In the 4th year of the Ming Dynasty (1402), Zhu Di ascended the throne in Nanjing and still lived in the Nanjing Palace Museum, but at the same time ordered Beiping (now Beijing) to be the temporary residence, preparing to move the capital. In the 4th year of the Ming Dynasty (1406), Zhu Di formally ordered the construction of the Beijing Palace on the site of the Yuan Dynasty's inner palace in Beijing. In the 18th year of the Ming Dynasty (1420), the Beijing Palace Museum was basically completed, and on the fourth day of September, Emperor Chengzu established Beijing as the capital. In the following hundreds of years, the Nanjing Palace Museum was rarely repaired, and was severely damaged by wind and rain. In the 17th year of Emperor Chongzhen's reign (1644), Li Zicheng led the peasant uprising army to capture Beijing. On May 15, Zhu Yousong became the emperor and established the Hongguang regime in the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in Nanjing. However, most of the palaces in the Ming Palace had collapsed and the Nanjing Imperial Ancestral Temple had long been burned down. Zhu Yousong carried out some restoration work and built buildings such as Fengtian Gate and Cixi Hall. After the Qing army entered the pass and destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was renamed Jiangning, where the Governor-General's Office of Liangjiang was located. The Ming Palace was changed into the Eight Banners Garrison City, and the General and the General Office were set up in the Ming Palace. A wall was built from Taiping Gate to Tongji Gate to isolate it, causing great damage to the Ming Palace. On March 29, the third year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign (1853), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Nanjing and renamed it Tianjing. However, the Ming Palace was not used as the palace foundation, but a new site was selected in the city to build a new palace, during which a large amount of stone and bricks from the Ming Palace were dismantled. By the time the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, the palaces and walls of the Ming Palace had basically disappeared. In 1924, due to the construction of the Ming Palace Airport, the double towers of Nanjing Wumen (Wuchao Gate) were demolished, leaving only a three-hole doorway, and the Wufeng Tower on the Wumen had long been destroyed. In October 1956, the ruins of the Ming Palace were announced as a cultural relic protection unit of Jiangsu Province.

Take Metro Line 2 to Ming Palace Station, which was almost destroyed several years ago and is now completely empty. It is also a good place for citizens to go for morning exercises, dancing and boxing.

It is right next to the Nanjing Museum, about a 15-minute walk away. There is a park with several large stone ruins. It is free, but not recommended.

If you don't learn about its history, you might just treat it as an ordinary park.

Unfortunately, only one city wall remains of the Ming Palace left over from the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is really a ruin. Apart from the foundation stones that supported the palace pillars, there is almost nothing here. It takes only ten minutes to walk through.

This is a site that truly has the style of a relic. Although there are no complete buildings, the huge stone pillars give people enough room for imagination.

If it is viewed as a tourist attraction, it is not very attractive. But as a site, its historical value is the core. Looking at the empty lawn, with the building components of the past scattered here and there, imagining the extremely magnificent palace in the past, now it has returned to dust, and it is very touching.

After getting off the bus, I saw a small side passage across the road to the ruins of the Ming Palace. I checked with an old man next to the station. After the bus passed, the old man watched me cross the road and reminded me from behind, "Go through that gap. There is another one across the road after you look around." Thank you for your warm concern... As I grow older, my interest in Chinese history is getting stronger and stronger. The people and events of the Ming Dynasty are very interesting to recall. It is a pleasure for me to visit these relics and commemorate the Ming Dynasty founded by the most legendary emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. The ruins of the Ming Palace are now divided into two by Zhongshan Road. I first entered the northern part because the trees have fallen leaves and it looks very open and spacious. Walking up the platform, the huge stone column base next to the central axis can feel the grandeur and solemnity of the palace at that time, the green grass, the solid stone lying quietly. Although the royal buildings of that year have long been destroyed by war, I am still touched by the past events of the Ming Dynasty that happened here in the former palace... Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping and built the world's most magnificent building complex~ The Forbidden City was expanded based on the Nanjing Ming Palace...

Crossing Zhongshan Road to the south, the light and shadows are projected through the golden leaves of late autumn. Walking on the huge flat stone slabs that the three emperors and their ministers of the early Ming Dynasty walked on, touching and examining the long dragon-carved screen wall, the heavy and huge stone foundations on the roadside are lined up like small terracotta warriors. Are they still guarding their former masters? Coming to the Jinshui Bridge, looking at the light outside the Wuchao Gate, slowly approaching the outside world, standing at the entrance of the gate and looking back, the shadow is projected on the huge stone slabs that have been polished like a mirror by footsteps. Is it calling me to go to court to see the emperor? ! I looked around and squatted down naturally to stare at the blood-colored stone slabs on the ground. Every bit of it seemed to penetrate my eyes and soul... Daming Palace, I felt that fortunately I did not enter this place casually when I was young and frivolous, but left it to now, so that I can quietly feel the eternal epic of the rise and fall of dynasties and the impermanence of life...

It's great to sit and daydream when the sun is out in the winter.

The real Ming Palace no longer exists. Now there is only a ruin with a piece of ground that has become a square. It is not worth visiting.

There aren't many old treasures. As a free and open park, I think the area is quite large and it's fun to visit. The wintersweets are so fragrant and I like them very much.

The magnificent Nanjing Palace of the Ming Dynasty was reduced to nothing but a few broken stones after the Jingnan Campaign.

I went somewhere else and accidentally stumbled into this place. It's not a big place, no tickets are required, and there are people exercising. I took a few photos and left.

It is free to visit and is now a park. I heard from local people that the cultural relics have been moved to the Forbidden City in Beijing.

It's not in vain to come here for Fang Xiaoru's blood-stained stone

This is really a ruin. There are several stone foundations around a raised ground, reminding you that this is the main hall of the ancient Ming Dynasty. The ruins look bare, but the greening around them is quite good. Many people play poker and chess in the green belts on both sides of the main hall. There is an art exhibition in the main hall on the south side of the ruins (I didn't notice when it was built). There is also an open space behind the main hall. When I went there, there was a book exhibition. There is also a small children's playground. It is also very pleasant for the surrounding residents to bring their children here to bask in the sun. The public toilets in the park are also very clean. There are not many ancient traces in the park, but more green and sunshine. It is a good place to relax, walk and bask in the sun.

The so-called ruins park means that the original pavilions and towers can no longer be seen. The wooden structures of the palaces have been destroyed in the war, and only the stone bases are left. Even so, you can feel the vicissitudes of the ruins here. I personally think that these ruins that are not rebuilt are more interesting than rebuilt buildings. Although there is only a flat land left at the site of each palace foundation, the park is still very considerate to put up introduction signs on the side. Visitors can walk by and look at these signs to tell whether the place they are standing now was a harem or a court. In addition, there is a section of the city gate in the park that is still well preserved. When I went there, someone was playing the saxophone in the doorway. The deep and rich melody matched with this ancient city gate is very feel.

The north of Zhongshan East Road is called Ming Palace Ruins Park, and the south is called Wuchaomen Park. Most of the ruins are concentrated in the north. The south is Fengtianmen Ruins and Wumen Ruins. In fact, the former palace city should be combined with the two parts.

As for transportation, there is the Ming Palace Station on Metro Line 2 nearby. Very convenient

Unfortunately, the ruins of the Ming Palace are really ruins. The glory of history is no longer visible. Only some stone pillars are left, and tourists can sigh deeply... The ruins of the Ming Palace are now mainly divided into two parts: Ming Palace Ruins Park and Wuchaomen Ruins Park. Personally, I think that Wuchaomen Park still has some traces, and you can vaguely imagine what it looked like back then.

The ruins of the Ming Palace. There are fewer buildings preserved now, but it still reflects the magnificence of the past.

It's a ruin, lonely because of the fire. . . . . The Wuchaomen bar opposite still has some stuff, and there are also middle-aged women doing square dance with a good rhythm.

Nanjing is the ancient capital of six dynasties. Unfortunately, the imperial palaces of these dynasties were all burned down. We went to see the ruins of the Ming Palace. Looking at these destroyed stone ruins, we could only imagine how glorious they were before.

The Ming Palace Ruins are divided into two parts by Zhongshan Road. To the north is Wuchaomen Park, where old people dance happily on the bright brick floor. To the south is Ming Palace Ruins Park, where the square also shows the rich leisure life of Nanjing citizens.

The Ming Palace was once the palace of the three emperors Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle for 54 years. It was not until the capital was officially moved to Beijing in the 19th year of Yongle that it lost its status as the political center of the empire. However, the Ming Dynasty implemented the same policy for Nanjing and Beijing. Although the royal family and ministers who stayed in Nanjing were basically exiled or retired, there were people who took care of the ancestral palace and did not let it decay and fall into ruin. It was not until the Qing Dynasty entered the pass that the Ming Palace really began to be abandoned. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes and wars, the site park today can no longer feel the splendor and magnificence of the imperial palace. Only some ruins are left silently telling the history.

The Ming Palace is a free place. It is very beautiful when it snows and there are few people. It is actually a park.

It is indeed a heritage park. Except for the reconstruction of a small palace gate, all wooden buildings are gone, leaving only the stone pillars. It is now divided into two parts by Zhongshan Road. I went to the northern part first because the trees have all fallen leaves and it looks very open and spacious. Walking up to the platform, the huge stone pillars beside the central axis can make you feel the grandeur and solemnity of the palace in the past. The grass is green and the rocks are lying quietly... Going up to the gatehouse, you can see that Yudao Street is surrounded by two rows of neat tall trees on the left and right. I think it must be very vicissitudes when the leaves fall in late autumn. There is a parking lot at the north gate, 10 yuan not counting the time. The northern half is the ruins of the three main halls. There are almost no people and it is particularly quiet. Facing the empty heritage park, imagining the history that once happened, you may feel lost! It is accessible by Metro Line 2, and next to it is China Southern Airlines!

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, its capital was Nanjing, so there was the Ming Palace. Now only the ruins are left, and it has been turned into a free park.

The park is full of citizens who come for fun. Occasionally, one or two ancient palaces can be seen, which were rebuilt later.

The Ming Palace no longer exists, and only the bases of the pillars remain on the site. It is so bleak that it is hard to describe. The scenery is beautiful.

You can go in and take a look at the Ming Palace. There is no entrance fee anyway. However, only the ruins are left, so a park has been built. But I still went in and took a look.

Only some stones can be vaguely seen on the ground, some city platforms and the Sumeru pedestal at the bottom. . . We can only imagine the grandeur of the time through hearsay! The former imperial city is now more of a place for citizens to dance and fly kites. . .

It consists of two parts: the imperial city and the palace city. Today, the Ming Palace Square and Wuchaomen Park have been built on the site of the Ming Palace.

The Ming Palace, if you haven't been there, you won't know, it's really a pit. The so-called ruins park is just an empty square with a palace in front, and souvenirs are sold inside the palace. You can imagine it. It is not recommended to stop at this station.

Like most parks, many elderly people here write floor calligraphy, fly kites, exercise, and relax.

Although this city doesn’t have the soft Wu dialect of Jiangnan, listening to the unique Nanjing accent of the elderly still gives you a different feeling. . .

The Ming Palace was recommended by a friend before, saying it was a free park. After arriving, I found it to be quite interesting. The road is divided into two parks in the north and south. The large lawn in the north is sunny and fresh, suitable for sunbathing, while the south is full of historical vicissitudes.

I really think there is nothing to see in the Ming Palace!!! I just took a quick look and left!!

There is really nothing worth photographing!!

The Ming Palace Ruins Park was once the site of the Ming Palace, but a fire reduced it to ashes. The Nanjing government then opened this place as the People's Square, where citizens can exercise and dance.

It was destroyed by civil strife during the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters, the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty and other forces. There is not much left now.

There is no entrance fee to the Ming Palace. It is just a larger park, but I don’t think there is much to see.

We went to the Ming Palace Ruins first. Since we were unfamiliar with the area, we couldn't find the main entrance, and we didn't know how we got in and out. It was drizzling when we first went there, which was quite a different experience.

It can be arranged together with the Ming City Wall, the two are very close. If you are in a hurry, you can give it up. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is not very attractive.
