This is one of the inner courts within the wall
Nanjing was the capitol of China at one point. The ruler built a wall around the city for protection. The wall is 19 miles long and the average height is 39 ft. On top of the wall it is wide enough to drive a car.
The lady on the left is Thai, she is our tour guide while in Nanjing. She is a very sweet person and has made us feel very welcomed. She lives here in Nanjing and has been giving us a good education on Chinese history.
At this site there are 4 gates for protection. During battle the soldiers could stand above and throw stones etc onto their enemies.
Tonight is our last night in Nanjing, tomorrow we fly to Guangzhou. Tonight Nancy and Thai are taking us to a nice restaurant for dinner. It has been a huge blessing having Nancy here since we knew her from 5 years ago. It's nice to have a familiar face and she is a very helpful and sweet lady.
Thank You Nancy!
