Nanjing Impressions (English-Chinese Postcards): Hand-Drawn Scenes of the Six Dynasties Capital & Literary Green City

This is not a travel guide to Nanjing, and it is not a photo book. It is a set of hand-drawn art postcards—each one a visual interpretation of a place that carries the city’s history: the lantern-lit banks of the Qinhuai River, the imposing presence of Purple Mountain, the time-worn streets of the Republican era, and the energy of the modern city that grew around them. The drawings are not documentary; they are artistic readings, which means you see Nanjing through a painter‘s eye rather than a camera’s lens. The cards are bilingual, so you can read the Chinese and English, keep the ones you love, or send them to someone who has never been. If you want to hold a piece of Nanjing in your hand and pass it on—rather than read a guidebook or flip through a conventional photo album—this is it.
