The Travel Bug: Jiangsu, Nanjing

I've seriously lost count of how many times I've flown to China this year for business... Not just Shanghai and Beijing, but the smaller cities too. That's usually a pain because either transfers via HKIA or long car rides are required. One of the perks however, is getting to scout out cities to see if they're worth going to for my own holidays, and staying in hotel rooms like this:-

Was going around Jiangsu and passed through its capital, Nanjing. Sadly didn't have time to check anything out, except for a 10min walk by Xuan Wu Hu.

Our dinner was held near the Qin Huai River, allowing us a good view of the activities.

At night the entire area is lit up, and you can see the Confucius Temple which is popular with tourists. River boats also ply the area for tourists willing to fork out the cash.

Nanjing looks quite interesting if you're into Chinese history and all. For me though, I think I like Suzhou better, which will be the subject of my next post.
