Day 8: A Quick Stopover in Nanjing

Our stay in Nanjing was planned to be only two days, therefore after having enjoyed the city in the evening of the first day (highly recommendable as the illumination of the ancient city center makes it look even more beautiful) we decided to visit the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. This museum memorializes those that were killed in the Nanking Massacre by the Imperial Japanese Army in and around the then capital of China, Nanjing, after it fell on December 13, 1937. The whole area contains several statues, halls and paths to remember the 300,000 people that were killed in this massacre.


After the museum we went straight to the airport to catch our flight to Xi'an. Unfortunately, due to bad weather the flight was delayed by several hours and as the waiting hall was stuffed with people we had to pass the time standing. Tired from the waiting and the recent days we arrived later than expected in Xi'an only to directly navigate to our hostel and call it an early night.
