THE NANJING’ WALL EXPERIENCE
Today the 600-year-old city wall of Nanjing still stands.
Different from ancient city walls in Beijing and Xi’an, its design and construction was unique and changed the old ways of equilibrium and symmetry. The construction concentrated on military defense because the city was at the foot of a mountain—a natural barrier to control the commanding elevation with the river as its natural city moat. Because of this, the 60-square-kilometer Nanjing city became strategically located and difficult to reach.
Nanjing’s city wall belonged to a military defensive system too. The difference was that it adopted a winding, free style, based on the city’s complicated topography.
The ancient city wall was listed as a key cultural relic under state protection in 1988.

This has been probably the most educational week on this site ever. I still have no idea what's happened though.
Basically: a team from Nanjing won the Shield by beating a Bashers Team in the final for an unknown by me score. Previous to that very entertaining cricket was played at the very comfortable temperature of around 200 degrees Celsius. Cake was generously offered (and enjoyed.) Great all around hospitality.
Fully accurate Jag lad. Well summarised.
Jag you forgot to mention your remarkable fielding after eating cake and drinking all day !!!
Also need to mention running a "4" with Latex in 200 degrees Celsius....speed and agility at its most awesome!!!
tourist tunnel Jag! Don't forget it
I am on it
Just when you thought culture, sophistication and appreciation for the finer things in life had been lost to the X,Y,Z generation etc it is truly comforting to know that the Jag is steadfast, defiant and on a mission to preserve all the good things in life. He truly is an inspiration to millions of people, a shining beacon of hope to the people of Parma and the prevailing cricketing footwear trendsetter. A scholar and a gentleman. A prince amongst men.
