Getting Around

Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, once acted as China's national capital. An ancient city of great culture and history, today's Nanjing boasts many tourist sights and a convenient transportation system to see them easily.

Metro 

At present, Metro Line 1 (Metro line 2 is slated for completion in 2009) accesses several tourist attractions such as the Confucian Temple, Xuanwu Lake, and Yuhua Terrance. Purchase an IC card (yuepiao) at any Huaxia Bank branch or in the metro station ticket machines. IC cards allow entrance to both the subway and bus systems, and provides a small discount for individual fares.

To and from Nanjing

Air 

Nanjing Lukou International Airport, 35 km from downtown, operates a daily range of national and international flights. Frequent shuttle buses take passengers into the city, departing/arriving every half an hour from Zhonghuamen Long-distance Bus Station. Several major hotels also provide airport bus service. 

Train 

Nanjing's three major train stations service both provincial and national destinations, like Shanghai (4 hours), Suzhou (2 hours), Hangzhou (5 1/2 hours), Anhui and Beijing.
