This was my second visit. This unique site covers many dynasties and captures many recent historical events of the 20th century - post-Ching dynasty. It has many change of hands among Manchurian, different Chinese political parties and Japanese during their occupation.

Nanjing Museum (Nanjing Bowuyuan)

Reviewed By TifKoh

Worth the time & efforts to visit the Nanjing Museum. It is free entry for visitors. We went to the first building’s service desk to register / collect some leaflets. There are at least 3 main buildings. They are built separately. Each houses different artifacts & exhibits. Very interesting ones would be the building that housed the dinosaurs, the skeletons of the dead which you can see their social status just by looking at their burial. Their monetary systems, their age of pottery, the ancient warriors & commoners’ attires & sculptures & etc. Another building houses paintings & statues. Wooden carvings were intricate & were detailing life. Security guards were flexible, as long as you do not speak loudly. Cameras are allowed. We had a good 2-hour+ quick walk. At certain levels we couldn’t enter as they were meant only for invited guests. There are many washrooms, pretty clean. It’s a must-go!

The Memorial of the Nanjing Massacre

Reviewed By tracyl21 - Long Beach, United States

It is very obvious from the people that passed through these exhibits how little foreigners know about the atrocities committed by the Japanese on December 1937 in Nanjing, in their imperialistic drive to conquer Asia. We went during Golden Week when it was a 2-hour wait in line to get into the exhibition hall (Tip: Go early in the morning on a weekday and NOT during Golden Week for a shorter line! Haha) and in that mass of humanity of thousands of people, there were probably less than a dozen Caucasian people. It is appalling to me when non-Chinese people who write 1-Star reviews say things like, "It's like they don't want to forget" and reviewers named "Ninja" say that the account is inaccurate because he learned some history in a class in the UK. You don't think you're extremely biased for the Japanese just from your pen name????? C'mon, this is no place for your inherent Sinophobia (and xenophobia)!! How would you like it if Germany denied the occurrence of the Holocaust? Oh yeah, that's right. There are already factions that do that but thankfully, cooler heads prevail so we can preserve history by steadfastly documenting all the facts so that episodes like the Nanjing Massacre and the Holocaust don't EVER happen again. On multiple occasions as late as 2017, the office of Japanese PM Shinzo Abe has floated the idea of the Nanjing Massacre DENIAL. (Yes, that's the same idiot who nominated the current sitting US President for the Nobel Peace Prize...) Maybe he'll soon float the denial of the Pearl Harbor attack that happened just a few years later in 1941!! If the US didn't possess the atomic bomb, I dare say the Japanese would not have adopted its current pacifist constitution after WWII. Who knows where their imperialistic rampage would have ended up? The exhibit starts with a kind of library shelves setting of thousands of names of known victims, then gets very grim indeed. Yes, this memorial is at times graphic and macabre, to the point of being bone chilling and depressing, but it is an extremely important historical accounting of events. There are multiple interviews with Chinese survivors, diary entries and letters from Japanese soldiers and commanders, as well as accounts from many foreign residents living in Nanjing at the time who sheltered a lot of the refugees. The exhibit ends with a plea for peace as well as a reflecting pool and Peace statue. This is not a place for young children. Admission was free when we went, but I'm not sure if that was only because of Golden Week.
