30 of 63 - The Porcelain Tower at the 2024 Nanjing Show

The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing was once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World. This recreated pagoda - the original was destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion in 1851 - stands in the center of what was once the Grand Baoen Temple - the Royal Temple of the Ming Dynasty.
What remains now is an incredible mix of preserved ruins and beautifully modern, immersive displays. This was one of my favorite cultural experiences while I was in Nanjing and both the history and artistic interpretations blend into a perfect mix of education and stimulating encounters.
Definitely worth a visit!!
