It really depends on how lond will you stay in Nanjing…

Purple Mountain is not just a mountain, there are lots of sightseening around the mountain, such as Lingu temple, Zhongshan Lin. If you like hiking, you can climb the mountain to have a great view.

Xuanwu Lake is another place to go, which has a zoo inside.

If you like museum, there is one near Zhongshan Men, Nanjing Museum.

For vegetarian food, the best place is the one which locate Jiefan Gate of Xuanwu Lake, inside a temple – Jiming temple. Because I have lefe china for a long time so I am not sure Indian food.

For shopping, go to Xinjie Kou and there are plenty shopping center but the best one with great price is Golden Eagle.

I am sorry because most chinese name is not easy to translate into english…

Have a great time there, you will love this city.

Hi, Blue.

Jack’s is cool, if you’re looking to meet lots of foreign folks, who usually speak English.

Best bet ever for a great “in” to the city of Nanjing is to stop at Blowin’ In the Wind. It is a bar down the street from Jack’s (the small alleyway, past dorm on left and Gold & Silver restaurant [mmmmmm] on right – heineken sign lets you know it’s the right place). Meet the owner, Shelley. She’s great and I am pretty sure her English has improved since last I saw her. She will surely help you meet people who will show you places in Nanjing most “La-wi” have never seen. Truly. I won’t even tell you, just let those folks help you out and your trip will be a real adventure.

For a great vegetarian breakfast, check out the vendor lady in front of NanDa dorm, who makes the pancake wrap thingums. I have no idea what to call them, but they cost 50 mao and you will be full and energized until lunch. Eat Chinese Food in China!

The fairly new Kohinoor Restaurant sits above the lobby in the Ramada Hotel. The food is typical Indian and Pakistani fare although not as spicy. However, they could surely add some heat upon request.

As should be expected from a reputable hotel chain, the restaurant and hotel bathroom appear quite clean. Servers are attentive ?
A typical meal for two would cost 70 to 100 yuan not including drinks
