Porcelain Tower of Nanjing Tickets & Tours

The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing, part of the former Great Bao'en Temple, is a historical site located on the south bank of the external Qinhuai River in Nanjing, China. It was a pagoda constructed in the 15th century during the Ming dynasty but was mostly destroyed in the 19th century during the course of the Taiping Rebellion. A modern life-size replica of it now exists in Nanjing. In 2010 Wang Jianlin, a Chinese businessman, donated a billion yuan (US$156 million) to the city of Nanjing for its reconstruction. This is reported to be the largest single personal donation ever made in China. In December 2015, the modern replica and surrounding park opened to the public.
