City Description
CloseNanjing, a city of historical importance
Nanjing, one of the four old capitals of China, is a city of history and culture combined with the charm of newly risen industry. Located in the fertile delta downstream of the Yangtze River, it has been the economic center of Jiangnan since ancient times. It was where Zhu Yuanzhang of the Chinese Ming Dynasty established his government. It was also the capital of ten other ancient Chinese dynasties. There’s a saying that ‘even if all Chinese people were to starve, Nanjing would never have to worry about food,’ a reflection of how it symbolizes a peaceful and opulent city. It was also the scene of the massacre of Nanjing, a tragic and unprecedented slaughter of approximately 300,000 people that lasted 40 days. In a small city of 6,600 ㎢, there are a number of sites and museums that are intertwined with history, modernity, peace and tragedy. It is a city that is developing rapidly while vividly conveying Chinese history.
Travel Tip
CloseSummer and fall are the best times to travel. The weather from mid-March to the beginning of May, and from October to November, is similar to spring/fall in Korea.
For the summer, thin clothes are good as you are likely to sweat. For the winter, prepare clothes as you would in Korea.
Thus, if you want to travel freely, it’s best to download Baidu maps on your smart phone before entering China, so you can find your way around easily when you arrive.
