      腊 is not "wax". It's a procedure of preserving and drying meat. Please don't spread translation mistake online that leads to cultural mis-justification

    Fun fact, Beijing roasted duck was originated from Nanjing roasted duck. It happened back in early ming dynasty when the new emperor moved capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Duck is not a common delicacy elsewhere in northern China.

    Hi Amy! It's really nice to see that you've been to Nanjing too. My aunt lived in Nanjing, so it's part of my childhood memories. I really enjoyed walking under the paulownia trees in Nanjing, the huge trees give the city a very different cityscape from Beijing.
    Also, Nanjing has a very interesting and historical nickname "Stone City石头城", which I think is probably due wto its ancient city walls and buildings.
    There is a song about Nanjing called "金陵谣", maybe you can listen to it. They also wrote about Beijing (紫禁), Chengdu (锦中客), Guangzhou (天南歌), Xi'an (长安四韵), and Hangzhou (云山入梦舟). I travel to all these cities and 👂 these songs while roaming the streets.❤
