Crossing Dacheng Gate to Dacheng Hall is a place to worship Confucius. Everything has halls and corridors. In the future, all the temples are dedicated to tall structures. In the past, it was the pantheon of all ages. Worship the temple is to govern the mountain. There is food on the mountain. There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain overlooking Zhongshan and overlooking the Confucius Temple. Jiangning Fu Xue, built in the late Qing Dynasty, is in the east of Confucius Temple. Now most of the buildings have been destroyed. Every year from the first day to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the Confucius Temple Lantern Festival is held here. 1920, the Nanjing municipal government restored the ancient buildings of Confucius Temple. It also rebuilt the city appearance around Confucius Temple.

Some of the original buildings on the east fourth floor of Mingdetang no longer exist, and some have been used for other purposes. After Gong Xue, there is a mountain called Weishan, on which there is a pavilion. There are plum blossoms and bamboo beside the pavilion. The late Emperor Sun Hao of Wu Dong celebrated the great achievements of his four generations. In August of the first year of Tianxi (276), Tianxi memorial tablet was established here.

Pearl Spring
Pearl Spring, located 6 kilometers west of Pukou, Nanjing, has become the only provincial-level tourist resort in Nanjing, covering an area of 1.400 hectares. According to legend, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Jinling, but due to Pearl Spring in the west of Pukou, crops were still bumper, and local farmers were unaware of the drought. At that time, people thought it was the blessing of the Dragon King, and donated money to build garden buildings such as the Dragon King Pavilion to express their gratitude to the Dragon King. This is the origin of Pearl Spring. Not far from the left side of the gate is the spring eye of Pearl Spring, which gushes out from the crevices of the stone and looks like a string of pearls, hence the name. On the stone wall beside the spring, there is the word "Wan Hu Pearl" carved by the ancients. In front of the spring is a pool. From a distance, the water drops in the pool splash down on the water like raindrops, like a sunny rain, so it is called a sunny spring. If you clap your hands or sing here, the water drops in the pool will change with the sound. It is an extremely rare natural voice-activated fountain, which looks like a welcome, also known as "Xike Spring". On his right is a large area of water called Jingshan Lake. Now there are bamboo rafts for tourists to ride and enjoy the lakes and mountains. On the right bank of the lake is a rare Chinese alligator farm in China. Behind the Spring Eye is Dingshange Restaurant, and behind the restaurant is Camel Garden and Racecourse for tourists to watch and ride.

Young men and women chase it. Although I can see the other person's head, I don't know which way to catch up with him or her. This is very interesting. The northwest corner is the "Zhaofu International Golf Course" built according to international standards, and it is the only international standard golf course in Nanjing.
Nanjing ChangJiang River Bridge
Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is located on the Yangtze River in the northwest of Nanjing, connecting the urban area and Pukou District. This is a double-deck two-lane highway and railway bridge designed and built by our country. Completed on February 29th. The upper highway bridge is 4589 meters long, with a lane width of 15 meters, which can accommodate four carts in parallel, with sidewalks more than 2 meters wide on both sides. The lower railway bridge is 6772m long and14m wide, with two tracks, and two trains can start at the same time. Among them, the main bridge on the river1577m, and the rest are approach bridges. The approach bridge of highway adopts the form of double-hole hyperbolic arch bridge with China characteristics. There are 200 cast iron reliefs embedded in the railings on both sides of the main highway bridge, and there are 150 pairs of magnolia street lamps beside the sidewalk. There are two 70-meter-high bridge heads at the north and south ends, and there are elevators in the fort that can pass through railway bridges, highway bridges and watchtowers on the bridge heads. There is also a sculpture of workers, peasants and soldiers with a height of 10 in front of the fort. Under Nanbao is a park with beautiful scenery. 19681February 18, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge designed and built by China was completed and opened to traffic. It marks a leap in bridge construction in China. Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is listed in Guinness World Records. The Yangtze River runs through Jiangsu Province from west to east, with a total length of 425 kilometers, blocking urban and rural land traffic on both sides of the Yangtze River. 1958 In September, the China Municipal Government decided to build the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. 1September, 960, when the pier of Jiangxin Bridge, the main project, was started, it was during the three-year economic difficulties in China, and the bridge construction funds were scarce and the supply of building materials was tight. Then the factional struggle of the "Cultural Revolution" spread to the bridge site. The project is paralyzed. Fortunately, the late Prime Minister Zhou Enlai firmly supported the construction of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge at the critical moment, and issued instructions to bridge builders, asking them not to stop work and continue to erect steel beams to open the railway. The construction project of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was successfully completed under extremely difficult conditions. Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is located between Xiaguan and Pukou in Nanjing. Because the water depth here is 30 to 40 meters, the underwater sediment cover is thick, and the river bed rocks are complex. Foreign bridge experts have predicted that if a bridge is built in Nanjing, the basic project will fail. However, Chinese bridge builders and technicians, with their intelligence and wisdom, have adopted various types of pipe pile foundations and open caisson foundations according to different hydrogeological conditions at the bottom of the river, and have overcome technical problems such as basement quality inspection, underwater welding and oxygen cutting. Finally, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed in 1968, which was a great innovation of bridge engineering and rare in the world at that time. Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is a railway and highway bridge. The upper floor is a highway bridge, and the lower floor is a two-lane railway bridge. The main bridge has ten holes, with a total length of1577m. Together with the total length of approach bridges at both ends, the railway bridge is 6772 meters long, and the highway bridge is 4589 meters long and 15 meters wide. The completion of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge has shortened the time for trains to cross the river from one and a half hours to two minutes, greatly facilitated the exchange of materials and personnel on both sides of the Yangtze River, and played a positive role in promoting economic development and improving people's lives.

The half-moon square in front is curved at the top of the clock, and the top of the tomb is like the pendulum of the clock. The altar has a dome-shaped roof and a marble statue in the center, which was carved by the French Polish Paul Landovsky in 1930.
