Why is there a Great Wall in Nanjing? It's actually a Ming Dynasty wall!

When I arrived in Nanjing, I didn't get to visit the Nanjing Museum (because I couldn't get a ticket) and didn't want to go to Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum (because I wasn't interested in the great man's cenotaph). I spent the afternoon at Xuanwu Lake Park and passed by Jiming Temple. In the afternoon, I visited Nanjing's old neighborhood. Honestly, after traveling from Shanghai to Suzhou to Nanjing, I'm starting to feel a bit bored by big cities!

① Xuanwu Lake Park: A Nanjing landmark. You can take a boat or a park bus around the lake, stroll or bike, or climb the Taicheng section of the Ming Dynasty City Wall for panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
② Jiming Temple: The premier temple of the Southern Dynasties and a filming location for the film "White Snake." It was lunchtime and I was a bit hungry, so I just took some photos at the entrance and left.
③ Laomendong Historical and Cultural District: A cluster of ancient buildings and shops.
④ Pioneer Bookstore: A place filled with a woodsy, bookish atmosphere and a literary atmosphere. ⑤ Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River: A book recommended a night tour. At this time, the lights are bright and the lights are dazzling. Along the way, you'll pass by attractions like Wuyi Alley and Zhuque Bridge. You can really feel the prosperity of the "Ten Miles of Qinhuai River." However, the crowds completely destroyed the poetic feeling. I wanted to finish the tour as soon as possible and escape the crowds.
