 Wuhan,  we travelled another 300 miles at least to Nanjing, a former capital of China right on the Yangtze.                                                 Just come to a viewing platform next to brigdge over the Yangtze. Because we're heading into the city in Nanjing.

In the 1930s,  this city, being known as Nanking, was invaded by the Japanese and carried out notorious massaccre here. But nearly hundreds years earlier, also being invaded by the British.

In 1800s, China lost the so-called Opium¹ War. This was a particularly shame for the episode in British and western history. When we went to the war against China, basically because we wanted to have the right to sell the Chinese people drugs.

As a result of the Opium Wars, this city, many of its liked, were opened to foreign trade with large area of factories under British control. Christian² Missionaries³ also began arriving in the country. It was said Christianity come here on the C*** Board.

British and American missionaries used the Yangtze to accesss to the interior of the country.
