Three-Day Nanjing Tour, Part Three: Laomendong – Old Tales of Southern Nanjing
Laomendong is located east of Zhonghua Gate in Qinhuai District, Nanjing. Because it lies to the east of Jubao Gate (now Zhonghua Gate), it is called 'Mendong' (East of the Gate), opposite Laomenxi. Since ancient times, it has been a place where merchants gathered, culture thrived, and prominent families resided. Shen Wansan, whose wealth could rival a nation, and Fu Shanxiang, the only female top scholar in Chinese history, both once lived here.
