China travel information.</p> <p>Shangri-la Dingshan, Nanjing from $84.84 USD • Shangri-la Dingshan, Nanjing from $84.84 USD • Crowne Plaza Nanjing</p> <p>NANJING , formerly known in the West as Nanking, is one of China's greatest cities. Its very name, "Southern Capital", stands as a direct foil to the "Northern Capital" of Beijing, and the city is still considered the rightful capital of China by many Overseas Chinese, particularly those from Taiwan. Today, it's a wealthy, prosperous city, benefiting both from its proximity to Shanghai, and from its gateway position on the Yangzi River , which stretches away west deep into China's interior. Although it has become rather an expensive place to visit, Nanjing now offers a fairly cosmopolitan range of facilities for the tourist, as well as a wealth of historic sites that can easily fill several days' exploration.</p> <p>Nanjing is huge and a thorough visit of all its sights would take several days. The downtown area comprises three main focal points and offers good shopping and dining as well as a few fascinating relics of the city's turbulent pre-1949 history. The north of the city takes in the enormous Xuanwu Hu Park and the Yangzi River area, while to the west are a number of smaller parks, including the Ming Chaotian Palace and the Memorial to the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre . The east and the south contain some of the best-preserved relics of Nanjing's mighty Ming city wall , as well as the excellent Nanjing Museum . The final area - and the most interesting of all for tourists - is the green hill beyond the city walls to the east of the city, Zijin Shan , with its wealth of historical and cultural relics. If you only have a day or two to spare, you should at least try and see Zijin Shan, the Nanjing Massacre Museum, the city wall and the Tianchao Palace , the former seat of government under both the nineteenth-century Taipings and the Nationalists.</p> </body>
