- Yuejiang Tower: Yuejiang Tower in the northeast Nanjing looks out over the broad sweep of the Yangtze River. The 50 meter high pagoda is built in the style of the Ming dynasty. The tower's walls and beams are painted red and dark green, and the glistening ceramic roof tiles are the shade of yellow once reserved for imperial buildings. Beneath the tower, a section of the Imperial city wall wraps around the base of the forested hill. The tower's highest balconies offer a breathtaking view over the broad Yangtze River.
- Terrace City: Terrace City was once the Palace in Dong Jin and in South Dynasty. People are accustomed to calling the walls between Jiefang Gate and Jiuhuashan Hill this name.

A museum about the history of Ming Dynasty’s City Wall stands here.
- Swallow Crag: In Zhidu Hill outside of Guanyin Gate, a grotesque peak by the riverside thrusts itself towards the sky, which looks like a flying swallow, hence the name. The Swallow Crag is strategically located and difficult to access, and under the crag, the waves are surging and roaring. It has been an ideal place for men of letters to express their feeling since ancient times.
