20 Sep 2009: ChaoTianGong 朝天宫

It's one of those places where the first Ming Emperor gathered his people and got them to pay respect to him. It's called 朝天宫 because emperors are considered 天子. So, it's the palace whereby commoners learnt the proper etiquettes to greet to him.

Indeed, it's now a museum where relics and antiques from the past were exhibited. Saw some of them (similar ones) in the Nanjing museum the day before. But I thought the trip to here (with a guide to explain the exhibit pieces) was a good one. Would not have enjoyed and learnt that much if I were to come the day before :D
