Nanjing, one of the nation's most important cities for over a thousand years, is recognized as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. It has been one of the world's largest cities, enjoying peace and prosperity despite various wars and disasters. Nanjing served as the capital of Eastern Wu, one of the three major states in the Three Kingdoms period; the Eastern Jin and each of the Southern dynasties, which successively ruled southern China from 317 to 589; the Southern Tang, one of the Ten Kingdoms; the Ming dynasty when, for the first time, all of China was ruled from a city, one city; and the Republic of China, serving as the internationally recognized capital of China and the seat of the central government of China under the Kuomintang, until the government's relocation to Taipei at the conclusion of the Chinese Civil War. The city also served as the seat of the rebel Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Japanese-installed collaborationist regime of Wang Jingwei during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It suffered devastating atrocities in both conflicts, most notably the Nanjing Massacre of 1937–38.
Nanjing became the capital city of Jiangsu province in 1952, after serving as a Direct-administered Municipality from 1949 to 1952 following the establishment of the People's Republic of China. It has many important heritage sites, including the Presidential Palace, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. Nanjing is famous for human historical landscapes, mountains and waters such as Fuzimiao, Ming Palace, Chaotian Palace, Porcelain Tower, Drum Tower, Stone City, City Wall, Qinhuai River, Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain.
