Nanjing China ,Nanking ,Transportation

Nanjing (or Nanking) is the capital of the Jiangsu province. The Jiangsu is one of the wealthiest provinces of Chine; the region is surrounded by the Anhui province in the west, Zhejiang in the south and Shanghai in the east (one of the 4 special provinces of China like Beijing).

A high speed express train links Nanjing to Shanghai in only two hours. Most big cities of the Jiangsu are well linked to Nanjing by train or by air, a big airport in the south of the city with daily domestic flights.

Is the high speed train better than the buses?

Here is the details of the Nanjing transportation system:

Nanjing Airport 南京飞机场

Nanjing Airport offers flights to all the big cities of China (Guangzhou, Beijing) and to Asian big cities like Seoul or Tokyo. From the urban area of Nanjing, the 35-kilometer highway AIRPORT EXP (airport express) drives you directly to your plane. The price is about 20 yuans because of the toll.

The airport has two different levels; the upper level is for the departures and the other level for the arrivals. The parking is in the upper level, and his price is correct. Well-built and correct, Nanjing airport should be used to visit the remote regions of China like the Yunnan or Hunan. (40 hours of train from Yunnan to Nanjing, we think that you will prefer to fly.)
