As such, it offers numerous historical sites and landmarks that reflect its past; the Ming City Wall, the Presidential Palace and the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum are well worth a visit, as is the Nanjing Museum, one of the largest museums in China. Outside of the centre, there’s the Purple Mountain Scenic Area with superb hiking trails and Xuanwu Lake where you can rent boats or simply relax by the water.
