ABOUT NANJING CITY GUIDE

Greetings locals and visitors, and welcome to Nanjing.

This guide, created by foreigners for foreigners, will assist you in gaining a better understanding of the restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and places of interest that Nanjing has to offer. From shopping in Xinjiekou to exploring Nanjing’s green terrain, the city is full of surprises. This guide was designed with the intention of making your stay in Nanjing an easy and enjoyable one. We have done our best to assemble an up to date, convenient, pocket-sized guide to illustrate all that Nanjing has to offer. Our focus is to identify aspects of the city that appeal most to foreigners.

Xinjiekou lies in the city center, offering high-end to low-end shopping options, restaurants, and a downtown atmosphere. Just North of Xinjiekou you will find 1912, a city block of bars, clubs, and restaurants. It’s unique grey buildings and brick sidewalks make it an interesting change of scenery from the rest of the city. A little further north is Zhujiang Lu, otherwise known as “The Computer Street”. Heading west on Zhujiang Lu, you will run into Shanghai Lu and find yourself near Nanjing’s universities. This is a great area for running into foreigners, shopping for DVDs, and finding some great western food options. If you are seeking a more peaceful atmosphere, try exploring the elegant campus of Nanjing Normal University. Due north on Ninghai Lu you will run into Hunan Lu and the pedestrian street, Shiziqiao. Shiziqiao boasts one of the most diverse restaurant selections in town, and Hunan Lu is filled with small shops and large department stores. If you are looking for more restaurant choices, head south to the Xinleyuan dining district, near the Nanjing Sheraton. Even further south lies Fuzimiao, one of the most commonly known touristy areas in Nanjing. Here you will find even more restaurants, a wide selection of souvenirs, and foreigner attractions. On the outskirts of the city lie the residential areas of He Xi, Yueya Lake, and the industrial areas of Pukou, Jiangning, and Xingang. These developing areas will have much to offer the future of Nanjing.

We hope our guide helps you on your way. Enjoy.
