1943 Old photo of Nanjing Xie Gongdun, Jiming Temple, Zhongshan Gate

The old photos in this group are the old photos of Nanjing in 1943, mainly taking pictures of Zhongshan Gate, Jiming Temple, Thousand Buddha Temple and other places at that time

This group of photos is from Yadong Printing Collection. It was from August 1924 to 1944 that the Japanese invaders sent intelligence personnel to take a large number of human and geographical photos of various parts of China, which were published by the Japanese as A Collection of Asian Prints. These photos recorded the living conditions of Chinese people at that time, as well as the geographical features of all parts of the country, giving us a chance to see the historical images of China at that time

The magazine of this group of photos was first published in July 1943, so this group of photos should be taken before July 1943

The following is the photo preview, and the photo annotation is the original annotation translation:

南京 中山门

谢公墩

即谢公墩，在南京的半山园。距离江宁城七里，距离钟山的主峰七里，正好在中间，所以叫做半山园。半山园以北不远的地方有一小土堆，叫谢公墩。谢公墩，金陵四十八景中最具有人文气质的一个景点。
