On Purple Mountain or Zijin Shan in Nanjing
Purple Mountain, or Zijin Shan, is the top tourist site in Nanjing for locals and foreigners. Attractions range from the mausoleum of Sun Yet Sen, the Father of Modern China; to the Beamless Hall, built in 1391 without using any wood in its construction; to the Ming Tombs and the impressive sacred way, an avenue of stone statutes; to the observatory; to a music stage; to an aquarium; to a kayak and canoe slalom; to a one-hour-long cable car ride from top to bottom. Detailed maps are available at each site of the entire mountain.

China's Dark Matter Satellite Concludes In-Orbit Testing
China's first dark matter detection satellite has completed three months of in-orbit testing, with initial findings expected to appear before the end of the year, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) Satellite Wukong detected 460 million high energy particles in a 92-day flight, sending about 2.4 TB of raw data back to Earth, DAMPE chief scientist Chang Jin said.
Launched on December. 17, 2015 on a Long March 2-D rocket, Wukong was handed over to the CAS Purple Mountain Observatory on Thursday.
The four major parts of the payload -- a plastic scintillator array detector, a silicon array detector, a BGO calorimeter, and a neutron detector -- functioned satisfactorily. The satellite completed all set tests, with all its technical indicators reaching or exceeding expectations.
Wukong is designed for a three-year mission. It will scan space nonstop in all directions in the first two years and then focus on areas where dark matter is most likely to be observed in the third.
The whole in-orbit operation is running stable. The data it sends will be more precise with the increasing observation time. We are expecting to publish related scientific gains by the end of 2016, said Li Huawang, chief designer of the DAMPE system.
The CAS released a report on the future of space science promising major progress and breakthroughs by 2030 in research into the formation and evolution of the universe and the search for extraterrestrial life.
It will also strive to find new physical laws that supplant current basic theories.
The goals will be achieved by manned and unmanned programs, including a black hole probe, a Mars probe and extraterrestrial life exploration.
Chinese lawmakers on Wednesday approved the country's economic and social development blueprint for the 2016-2020 period, including research on the origins of the universe and life.
