The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing occupies upper floors of Deji Plaza in Xinjiekou, giving the local luxury choice a distinctly urban setting. It suits travelers who enjoy returning to modern city life after a cultural outing. Do not mistake an elevated city outlook for a hotel within a historic district or on the waterfront itself.
Zhonghua Gate, formerly called Jubao Gate, stands in the southern city wall. The outer Qinhuai River lies in front of it and the inner Qinhuai behind. This gives a history-led visit a specific relationship between the city’s defences and its waterways.
Inside the main gate, three inner barbicans form a series of enclosed defensive spaces. For someone interested in architecture, the subject is how the gate works as a sequence rather than as a single opening in a wall. Consider the relationship between entry, enclosure and the wider boundary of the old city.
Our China destination guide provides the national hotel context for a wider journey.
The Confucius Temple setting brings together historic buildings and a river-centered cultural district. It gives a city outing a different emphasis from the retail and hotel setting of Xinjiekou.
It is in the Zhongshan Scenic Area at Purple Mountain. Give that landscape and historical subject a visit of their own rather than assuming it is another interior in the commercial center.
Its collections range across ancient civilization and later history, including important porcelain. Choose a subject within that breadth so a museum visit becomes more focused than simply moving through as many rooms as possible.
Yunjin, or cloud brocade, gives Nanjing a significant weaving heritage. It offers a craft-focused cultural subject separate from the city's monumental architecture.
It introduces the city's modern political history, including its Republican-era role. Treat that as a different historical chapter from the Ming-era walls and imperial sites.
