Nanjing City
A historic city where the legacy of the Six Dynasties capital meets Republican-era memory, with Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the Ming city wall and Qinhuai charm side by side.
Nanjing lies in southwestern Jiangsu in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and is one of China's Four Great Ancient Capitals, having served as capital for many dynasties. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Ming city wall, Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River, Presidential Palace and Nanjing Museum are among the main sights. The Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders carries profound historical significance, while Xuanwu Lake and Qixia Mountain are good for leisurely scenery. Yaxi in Gaochun District is an international slow city, with a peaceful atmosphere for rural cycling. Spring and autumn are the best seasons. Gateways are Nanjing Lukou International Airport and Nanjing South Station.
