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.

Hi! I plan to travel from Suzhou to Nanking and stopover in Nanking for a night. I wonder is there any place of interest that I could visit in Nanking? Is it possible to tour around Nanking for a day?
Is there any bus/ train that I could take from Nanking to Xi'An? Is there any night train/ bus service? I plan to save a night of accomodation $.
Thanks!

As the subject line says, the Nanjing Massacre Memorial will be reopening on 13th December 2007, after being closed for renovations for more than a year.

Nanjing Massacre Memorial official English-language website: http://www.nj1937.org/english

This date is the customary anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, and 2007 will be the 70th year.

I have been to this memorial at least twice before it was closed for renovation. I can only say that it is a place that any visitor to Nanjing should definitely visit. It is a place that holds a special significance for Nanjing's history and also for China's; and even more so for the tens of thousands who lost their innocent lives there. It stands as a reminder to never take peace for granted; peace that has been only been achieved after the deaths and suffering of an unthinkable amount of people. This is a memorial for those who died wanting peace, but who were unfortunately unable to enjoy it, unlike us today.

A group of friends and I will be making a trip on Thu-Fri 13-14/12 from Shanghai. If anyone is interested in joining us, or is interested in going on a later date, please feel free to contact me for more information. Email directly at ellyse99@yahoo.com and put "VirtualTourist" and your own username in the subject line so that I know who you are, thanks.

still new in this place of nanjing, and things are puzzling me with the following questions?
where can I get a detailed english nanjing map?
where can I have my facial care that is not that expensive in xinjiekou or da zhao nanlu?
where can I take the shuttle bus going to METRO SHOP (a big department store)
Where can I eat barbequ lamb? they said there is one in wangfudajie?

Thanks.

I'm baffled by the many long distance busses in Nanjing. It seems like you can go almost anywhere, but I never know where to start. So far, I know that to go South, go to the Zhonghuamen atation, and to go NE, go to the station near to the northern train station.

But I need to go to Jiangyin now. Anyone know the right station ?

I'm looking for some characteristic traditional accommodation in Nanjing (and also Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huangshan and Shanghai for that matter) but whatever I try only modern concrete block hotels turn up in my search results.

Is it just bad luck or such places really don't exist?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I wanted to know whee to shop for a hand made quilt and also a goo quality of mahjong set. My friends in shanhgai and beijing told me that we can get a good quality and cheaper too compare to where i stay

Hi Folks, I went to see this museum in January/07 and it was closed. I will be back in October/07, can anyone tell me if it will be open then?
Thanks,
Joe.

I have been to shanghai and beijing, but intend to travel to Nanjing this June 2007. Does anyone reading this know where I could shop for fabric/material (silk/linen/coton?) sold in meters? Usually they are displayed in rolls, and to are sold in meters. Anyone please help. Thank you.

I plan to stay at Nanjing Danfeng International Hotel, 59-1 Yushi Street, North Floor 5, Nanjing, when I visit a few weeks from now. This hotel rates seem low, about USD9 for a single private w/o bath but is it in a good central location in Xinjiekou? Is there a better one I should consider?

Oh yes, where can I find the airport shuttle bus at Nanjing airport to go downtown Xinjiekou? I don't want to spring for a taxi(Y150 I've heard) since I'm travelling alone. Details on how to take the airport bus, transfers, etc. greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone know the address or whereabouts of the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing?

Hi there, I have decided I want to go to Tibet in January and am having difficulty finding out how to get the travel permit to go there in Nanjing. Anyone have any advice in getting this permit and do we still have to get the bloody thing?

Thanks

hi
how disappointed I am!! I have only been here for two weeks and I have already been robbed in the bus!! I was going in the direction of Zhongshangmen at about 6.30pm yesterday. I had my bag very close to me zipped and everything and without noticing anything, I was stolen my purse!!
I am alone here which is not easy at all, furthermore a woman so I am very vulnerable!! I had everything in it since I needed my passeport and credit card that day.
If you happen to find some documents, my wallet is a beige dolce & gabbanna with 8 credit card compartments .Among the most importants documents I have been stolen my credit card (cancelled now), my passeport (french), my driving license (french), and my french ID card.
Please contact me asap if you can help.
many thanks
