Architecture, which is something I had hoped to see more of when I found out China would be becoming my home for two years. However, with China constantly modernizing its something that is becoming harder and harder to find. 南京 luckily has found a way to preserve this sacred art and mix it in with a twist of “new China” that doesn’t feel too overbearing.</p> <p>Overall, I’d say 南京 is a really awesome city and I loved my time spent there. From learning a great deal about the city’s massive history, to getting to spend time in a new place where the sun never stopped shining, to being able to get to know one of my students better, and to having the chance to see one of my oldest friends while we are on the other side of the world, 南京 was just the break from my current reality that I needed. And I loved every minute.</p> </blockquote>http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50890061434http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50890061434Mon, 20 May 2013 08:12:53 +0200nanjing<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a75f65998afe4746593980c613f270fe/tumblr_mlhlknbBYV1s7bfvto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50889979274http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50889979274Mon, 20 May 2013 08:11:06 +0200jet li<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbosavCQBk1qzi2nqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://eriebasin.tumblr.com/post/33304286853/1890-1910s-chinese-kingfisher-feather-bracelet" target="_blank">eriebasin</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>1890-1910s Chinese Kingfisher Feather Bracelet, Silver (sold)</p> </blockquote>http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50889948373http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50889948373Mon, 20 May 2013 08:10:25 +0200artbracelet<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m613bow2gb1ro7mzxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://ooh--la-la.tumblr.com/post/25653894798/palcho-monastery-kumbun-by-sophie-et-fred-on" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">ooh—la-la</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/47412998@N08/7420046278/" title="Palcho monastery - Kumbun" target="_blank">Palcho monastery - Kumbun</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/47412998@N08/" target="_blank">Sophie et Fred</a> on Flickr.</p></blockquote>http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50858984582http://the-next-emperor.tumblr.com/post/50858984582Mon, 20 May 2013 00:49:35 +0200tibet
