Lying on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, is known, with its history of more than 2000 years, as the place where emperors built their capital in ancient Chinese history. This heritage combined with a contemporary development in the 20th century both promoted Nanjing to a huge historical, economic and political center.

With abundant Chinese historical and cultural leftovers from the past, Nanjing offers a balance between ancient relics and soaring skyscrapers. The immense wealth of well-preserved Chinese culture and history, architecture unique to China’s Ming era and roots of one of China’s finest cuisines added to the constant flow of activity of the city, reveal a strong and deep link to the past as well as a real mind set towards the future.
