南京Nanjing240-hour transit visa-freeAncient Capital of Six Dynasties

Nanjing City, referred to as "Ning", was formerly known as Jinling and Jiankang. It is the capital of Jiangsu Province. As one of the four ancient capitals of China, Nanjing is known as the "ancient capital of six dynasties and the capital of ten dynasties". Its history of city construction can be traced back to more than 2,500 years ago. The temperament of this city is heavy and complex. It has both the majestic atmosphere of the imperial capital and the gentle elegance of the Jiangnan water town. It has also tempered a calm and tenacious character in the ups and downs of history.

Located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in eastern China, Nanjing is a hub city connecting the east and the west. The Yangtze River runs through the city, bringing a wide river view; the Zhongshan (Purple Mountain) scenic area on the east side is a dragon and a tiger, and the mountains, waters, cities and forests are integrated, forming Nanjing's unique urban style. It has a subtropical monsoon climate with distinct four seasons and hot summers. It is one of China's "furnace" cities, and the falling leaves of the sycamores in autumn and winter add a different charm to the city.

Nanjing's charm is deeply rooted in its historical sites throughout the city. The solemn and majestic Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the world cultural heritage Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum are both located in the Zhongshan Scenic Area, recording important chapters in China's modern history and the history of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Strolling in the Confucius Temple-Qinhuai River Scenic Area, between the sound of oars and the shadows of lights, it seems that you can hear the chanting and sighing of ancient literati. The well-preserved Ming Dynasty city wall is the longest and largest existing city wall in the world, silently guarding this ancient city.

Nanjing has been a cultural and educational center in China since ancient times, and has the reputation of "the world's literary hub". The profound cultural heritage has shaped the gentle, introverted, and culture-loving character of Nanjing people. In their spare time, Nanjing people like to stroll in the old streets under the sycamore trees, or taste a salty and delicious salted duck. This unhurried pace of life complements the city's heavy sense of history.

As an important central city in the eastern region and a megacity in the Yangtze River Delta, Nanjing is strong in modern science and technology and higher education. In recent years, it has developed rapidly in emerging industries such as software, information technology and intelligent manufacturing. Today, Nanjing is working hard to transform its rich scientific and educational resources into innovative advantages, so that this ancient capital, which has experienced many vicissitudes, can radiate strong scientific and economic vitality in the new era.
