Het was een prima tour naar Nanjing; een van de hoogtepunten van onze Chinareis.

We had a meaningful day at Nanjing. Our guide Fred is very knowledgeable and converse with us in both Mandarin and English. The kids got to practice their mandarin with him.
Although the time was short, we got to see the 3 important landmarks in Nanjing (Confucius temple, Ming City Gate and Sun Yat Sen Mausoleum).
Its easy and comfortable from the time Our Shanghai guide picked us up from our hotel to the way back.
Nanjing was expecting heavy rain but we were lucky that it was cloudy with light drizzle.
Overall, this trip gave us an insight of what Nanjing has to offer, culture, arts and a lot of history.
Alana and her team are great.
