Nanjing.

Ming heritage, wooded tomb avenues and evenings beside the Qinhuai River.

Nanjing

Nanjing’s history is written into its city walls, temple districts and leafy hills. A former imperial capital beside the Yangtze, it rewards travellers who want to connect grand monuments with the rhythm of a modern Chinese city.

Walk a section of the Ming city wall, spend time along the Qinhuai River and head to Purple Mountain for the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. Two days give the wooded imperial landscape its own space, rather than rushing through it between city stops.
