Must-see tips: 1. Near 1912 Street are scenic spots such as the Presidential Palace, Jiangning Silk Manufacture Museum, and Nanjing Library. One kilometer to the west of the block is Nanjing’s bustling business district, Xinjiekou, which is very suitable for shopping.


2. For taking pictures, you can choose dusk. The yellowish light shines on the unadorned and unflashy blue bricks, as if the vicissitudes of those years return before your eyes.


3. Don’t just focus on taking big scenes. Sometimes many details are the highlights. You might as well try looking out from indoors. Maybe there will be a different feeling.
