Destinations

Since its founding, The Nanjinger has travelled far and wide in this corner of the planet. For “Destinations”, anywhere goes that can be done in a long weekend out of Nanjing. Our fearless columnists have taken on Kazakhstan, Vietnam, the Phillipines, Japan and Nepal, and a multitude of China-wide choices, as well as those closer to home in our very own Jiangsu Province, some of which qualify for an overnight stay or even just a day trip!

Nepal; Trekking through Cloud Nine

Francesca Leiper -
I began my trek in Nepal at a height of 1,070m. Where I come from, in Scotland, we’re very proud of our mountains over 914m (or 3000 feet) called Munros. Here I was, just shy of Scotland’s tallest peak,...

Yangzhou 24; Slender by Name, Slender by Nature

West Lake, over in Zhejiang province, is synonymous with Hangzhou. Slender West Lake, on the other hand, is an entirely different kettle of fish. For after just 1 and a half hours’ drive from Nanjing, or 40 minutes on...
