Nanjing travel notes
From Shanghai by high-speed train in about 1-2 hours.
概览
这座城市的气质
Nanjing is a strong history-focused trip from Shanghai, with major museums, Ming city walls, tree-lined avenues, republican-era architecture, lakes, temples, and a deeper political and cultural past than a short visit can fully cover.
为什么去
最值得去的理由
The city has layers of Chinese history, from Ming imperial sites to republican-era landmarks and modern memorials.
Its city walls, lakes, and mountain areas make sightseeing feel spacious rather than only urban.
It is close enough to Shanghai for a quick trip but substantial enough to reward two or three days.
如何到达
抵达提示
- High-speed trains from Shanghai reach Nanjing South or Nanjing Station, with Nanjing South handling many fast services.
- The metro is useful for major areas, though some sights around Purple Mountain are easier by taxi or ride-hailing.
- Distances can be larger than they look on a map, so group sights by area rather than crossing the city repeatedly.
