    At 8am, your guide will meet you at your hotel lobby in centrally located Nanjing hotels with a signage writing your name. Firstly you will visit Dabao’en Temple or Grand Baoen Temple in Nanjing. It was the first Buddhism temple built in southern China about 18000 years ago. During Ming Dynasty(1368—1644AD), it was the royal temple, the Porcelain Tower in the temple was very well-known in the history. Unfortunately, the temple was destroyed in 1854 in Qing Dynasty. In 2008, there were many relics and antiques unearthed from the temple ruin. In 2010, the temple started to rebuild on its original ruin.
