Nanjing - Fuzi Miao District

Hi there,
We have arrived in Nanjing. We took the train from Shanghai. Nanjing is a beautiful city, much different than any other city we have seen in China. We are staying in a district close to the Fuzi Miao or Confucious Temple. This temple boasts what is said to be the largest statue of Confuci us in all of China. The temple borders the Quinhai river once very polluted but was cleaned in the 1990's and hosts river boat tours for tourists. The tour boats have been created as they might have once looked in the Song dynasty. At night the temple and grounds are lit and it is breath takingly beautiful. Here are a few photos that we took when we first arrived.
