Back from Nanking

check out the web album

Pros

• Nice bullet-train ride from Shanghai to Nanking(though not as fast as bullet-trains in the rest of the world, well, not yet). 300KM in 2.5 hours, 3 stops in between.
• Hunan Rd is nice in the evening for food (if you like real Chinese food).
• Confucius temple, Qinghuai river are nice
  

Cons

• Youth hostel close to Confucius temple under poor management.
• Not as clean(organized) as other neighbouring cities

Rating: 3 out of 5
Conclusion: old capital, so it's old. Somehow not well maintained and developed in my opinion
