Nanjing Travel Forum

I'm signed up for a one day tour of Nanjing and one day free. Do you think I need two full days to see all of Nanjing. I want to have enough time to see Sun Yat Sen's Memorial and the Massacre Museum. Can anyone recommend some food markets to visit in my free time. Lastly which train number do I catch to go to Hangzhou and where can I buy a ticket. I'll be staying at the Sofitel Hotel.

I would definitely need more than just 2 full days for Nanjing. At the minimum, 3, could be more.
For a bazaar atmosphere, go to Fuzimiao.
There's only 1 fast (D) train for Nanjing -- Hangzhou. You want D471 (1242--1643). Let me know if you want help with tickets.

I definitely agree Fuzimiao is an excellent place for trying out local food on-the-go and the shops there offer such good prices for clothes, shoes etc. that you need not even bargain at all. I was there in early Dec this year. The streets are closed to vehicles at night and the place beautifully lit, especially the river side so you can stroll and enjoy everything.
