- Zhenjiang is just on the south bank of the Great Yangtze River. Not the most visited of Jiangsu Province's cities, but one full of history! In this video we will visit some famous hills and temples, add a couple of pagodas to the list and have a look around the old British concession.
Enjoy!

Love the beautiful sights and the fascinating tales.
Really nice place and feels great to br right on the Yangtze. Suzhou next 😎
Zhenjiang is on the south bank of the Yangtze River. In the long history of China, especially during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Three Kingdoms period, Zhenjiang was often the front line of confrontation between the divided northern and southern regimes of China. The Yangtze River is very wide in this section, forming a natural barrier, but it also left many historical allusions to this land. Thank you very much for NICK's personal visit and introduction and hard editing work, I wish you all the best!
Thanks for the extra information! It's a pretty nice place...it gave me a really good feeling as soon as i arrived
Pearl S. Buck spent her childhood in this town, she learned Chinese first before learning English, also received writing training in this time period. In her biography she described her life in this town including the British consulate building and the pagodas. Great video and thanks Nick!
I will read more about her. Thanks for the extra info!!
Will be moving to Zhenjiang, this video is just what I needed. Thank you!
I quite liked Zhenjiang! Living there would be cool, you are really close to lots of other great cities!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, like so many places in China absolutely thick with history. The iron pagoda looked amazing.
It's a nice one! I actually really liked the Yuan dynasty street pagoda. Quite unique
(11:27) VR - "Victoria Regina." The reign of Queen Victoria was from 1837 to 1901, left a mark on this ancient town.
Left her mark all over the place. This is the first time i have seen it on a buildimg in China though
@@nickinchina2552 Add 100 years to 1837-1901, we get 1937-2001. Lines up with that infamous century coming into the consciousness of the revolutionaries in modern China.
Didn't know what VR meant prior nor did I even catch that detail on my own! Now I know what to look out for on other British buildings I think are from that time period.
I guess a lot of old British concession buildings will have it...her reign was 1837 to 1901 which covers a huge amount of the 'concession' time
Nice video Jincheng Yuhuang Temple has recently opened for filming. Can Nick shoot a video to introduce it to us❤ Through some online photos, the sculptures inside look very impressive
I just had a look at some photos, it really does look great! I will get back there one day
I was so excited, and thought the video was about zhejiang. 😂
haha! well....it's close to Zhejiang...kind of
I have been thinking about this and I think there is a difference between perception. There is a romantic notion of the old China and certain nostalgia attached to these traditional sites. But to the most Chinese who have lived here for generations, the past is mixed with the present. It is where it is and it is what it is and what it has been and always be.
awesome video as always Nick, traditional Chinese architecture it's unmatched!
Thanks so much! Suzhou next 😎
A very good place for tourist
Seems like the video was taken in winter or early spring, right now there are full of green.
Yeh it was in February. Still a beautiful day though!
Legend of White Snake was a scary but romantic story. Imagine the horror of knowing he had married a snake 😱😱😱.
