EXPLORE NANJING BY STAYING IN A NEARBY LUXURY HOTEL SERVICED APARTMENT

Nanjing is a wonderful city filled with plenty to see and do. The city of eight million people in China's east is a major economic and commercial hub, yet is alive with history and authentic Chinese culture at the same time. Nanjing was China's capital during the Ming dynasty, with echoes of its imperial past still remaining today. Some temples in the city date back to as early as the 8th century, while others have been lovingly restored to their former glory or built in modern times to reflect Nanjing's admiration for Buddhist culture.

For lovers of nightlife and getting out and about, Nanjing has a well-established bar and dining scene nearby your luxury hotel serviced apartment, offering everything from local haunts to international eateries. Some of the more quirky sights include the Confucius Temple area and the neon-lit Deji Plaza – all located a stone’s throw away from your accommodation.

HISTORICAL NANJING

From the days of the Ming dynasty to the modern age, Nanjing has been the site of some of China's most momentous historical happenings. One of the most important in modern times is commemorated at the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. The site remembers the approximately 300,000 people who lost their lives during WWII. Although a grisly reminder of the toll of war, the museum provides an excellent summary of the events leading up to - and after - the occupation. It's informative and well worth your time, especially as the site is so close to your apartment hotel in Nanjing's Jianye district.

Another must-see historical note to Nanjing is the old city walls, located only a short drive from your serviced apartments. Dating back to the very start of the Ming dynasty, the walls took over 200,000 workers and 21-years to complete. The best time to see the walls is in the morning, especially during winter when the mists roll in and give the place a magical look.

NANJING'S IMPRESSIVE UNDERGROUND PALACE

The Nuishoushan Cultural Centre, located to the south of your hotel accommodation in Nanjing amid lush mountain greenery, is a modern marvel that needs to be seen to be believed. Take the funicular up to the top of the mountain to see the newly built Buddhist temple complex.

While the 9-storey pagoda impresses, the Usnisa Palace enchants, with views from the mountain top being nothing short of spectacular. However, the most surprising part of the site lies beneath the ground. From the Chan State Scenery Room under the nearby dome of the Usnisa Palace, take the escalator down six storeys beneath the ground to see the Thousand-Buddha Hall. It’s beautiful with paintings, jewelled decorations and carvings of Buddhas strewn across the entire length and breadth of the dome-like interior.

DINING IN NANJING

Where other parts of China could be distinct in their culinary traditions, Nanjing is a melting pot of culture where southern and northern styles of Chinese cuisine meet. Duck is often the star protein on the plate in Nanjing and the local salted duck (served cold) is well worth a taste. One of the best places in Nanjing to try some local favourites is Lao Men Dong (pedestrian street). Take a seat at traditional restaurants and teahouses amid the restored splendour of one of Nanjing's oldest districts, with some buildings dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

For the original Nanjing dining, book a table at Dàpái Dàng, about a 25-minute drive from your hotel serviced apartments in Nanjing's CBD. Designed to look like a Qing-era restaurant, the venue serves straight-up Jiangsu cuisine in a lively setting. Grab a bowl of Nanjing noodles; they're outstanding.

NIGHTTIME IN NANJING

Going out in Nanjing is a fun and safe experience. The city has a well-established bar, cafe and nightlife scene nearby your hotel serviced apartments. Expats and visitors travelling to Nanjing for the first time will definitely drop by the Nanjing 1912 entertainment precinct, a purpose-designed space inhabited by bars, cafes and clubs. Most of the bars open after 10pm at night, so arrive later if you can.

While waiting, why not drop by Hunan Lu street near the city's ancient walls? The street is a popular nighttime shopping destination, with bucket loads of boutique shops and dining, including Shiziqiao Food Street, where you can wander and snack on a variety of dishes. The area around Confucius Temple, with its gorgeous canals and traditional boats plying the waters filled with nighttime revellers, is also a great place to hang out and enjoy some people-watching.

UPON A PURPLE MOUNTAIN

Visitors to Nanjing looking for a dose of nature should make tracks for the green surrounds of Purple Mountain. Don a daypack and step outside your apartments in Nanjing and into Olympic Stadium East Station, taking metro line 2 to Muxuyuan station. The area of Purple Mountain features some must-see historical sites, including the Ming Xiaoling - the mausoleum of the Hongwu Emperor and the founder of China's Ming dynasty.

Take the time to wander the area and stop by the peaceful shore of Zixia Lake. To the south of the mausoleum, marvel at over 13,000 plum blossom trees on Plum Blossom Hill. Further to the east along the metro line, discover the Linggu Scenic Area and Linggu temple, which rises above the surrounding greenery like a scene from a Chinese watercolour painting.

GETTING TO AND GETTING AROUND NANJING FROM YOUR ACCOMMODATION
