What a great use of a large urban lake! This is one of the nicest urban parks I have ever visited. I visited this park twice, since park entrance is free and since it was close to my hotel (once for an evening stroll and once for a morning walk). To walk around the entire lake would take a very long time, but since it is free it doesn't feel as if you have to visit the entire park at once, but can do so in segments. Also the islands in the lake mean that you can do a partial circuit of the lake quite easily, and shorten the distance. The park is very well-maintained. While there were certainly some tourists in the park, many of the people were clearly locals, including representatives of the ubiquitous Chinese tradition of retired people playing games in their nearest park. The park is large enough that is easy to escape to relatively uncrowded areas if you wish.

We took a day trip to Nanjing from Shanghai and saw parts of the wall in multiple locations. It was great to have personal guides who spoke English and could give us the history. We visited shortly after the Chinese New Year/Lantern Festival and many lanterns were still up on the wall. Many were very large, which was surprising to us. We were told that brickmakers from across the country made the bricks and each brick had the maker's mark on it. If a brick arrived broken, the brickmaker had a second chance to make the bricks, and if they arrived broken a second time they were most likely executed.

This is a large lake so probably not practical to walk all round it. We started at the railway station and walked to Xuanwu gate across to Cherry Isle and then out again at Jiefang gate. Since it is December, you see yellow on the willows against green grass, a lighter green of algae, and brown wilted lotus. It makes for a very picturesque walk.

He is well known in Chinese history n must teach in text book! It was quite interesting how “cheating” was done thousands years ago compared to now!

We came on a clear, winter night and had the entire structure to ourselves. Truly mind-blowing the details of the triplicate walls, the gates, the views of the city from atop that seemed to stretch forever, and just the sheer size of it all! I could see this as a very usable venue. This made us decide to skip the Great Wall once we got to Beijing, and we have no regrets.
