Hello I am going to visit my brother in Nanjing and wanted to ask what historical sights I could see there, opening times, costs etc. Would we be able to enter a temple?
There are several historical sites in Nanjing, such as Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, China Gate, Confucius Temple, and Dr.Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum. Of course, temple is also available, like Linggu Temple.
