Hikes in Nanjing
- marcl88: Purple Mountain is huge, way bigger than I anticipated. If you're planning to see the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the observatory in one go, start really early or your legs will be dead by noon.
Hidden gems in Nanjing
- sarah_w: Does anyone know if that old bookshop inside the underground parking garage is still open? I can't remember the name but it was really cool.
Food in Nanjing
- ryanj: The duck blood soup at the Confucius Temple area was okay but felt like a tourist trap. Better to walk a few blocks away into the residential side streets for the real deal.
Transport in Nanjing
- charliek: Metro is super easy to use and goes everywhere. Don't even bother with taxis during rush hour, the traffic near Xinjiekou is a nightmare.
