Formerly the capital of China, many people, particularly overseas Chinese still believe it to be the capital. Nanjing meaning 'Southern Capital' stands as a direct foil to the 'Northern Capital, Beijing. It is a prosperous city, benefiting from being so close to Shanghai and the Yangtze River.
There are so many shopping malls in Xinjiekou, but they all sell the same things so its not as exciting as it may sound!
A quick trivia quiz..name the three longest rivers in the world!!!! Answers to the Nanjing homepage please! |

I say Victoria! You'll be at least the second one to have dealings with Nanking then? If my schoolboy history has served me well, I do believe Queen Victoria sent her navy to settle the first 'Opium War' in Nanking. I don't believe KFC was there then... | volopolo Sun Oct 15, 2006 20:45 UTC
