Of all the cities in China, I finally chose Nanjing to spend my summer holiday with my family. The place was selected for several reasons: its richness in culture and history, the vitality of its modern life, the daintiness of all the snacks and street food, and most importantly, it's a paradise for children.
Ascend cloud high for a posh experience of juicy steaks, wonderful wines, premium cigars and a panoramic view over the glittering downtown at this InterContinental bar.
Located on the 78th floor of 450-meter Zifeng Tower, this 150-seat establishment is the highest nightlife spot in the city and is a safe bet for impressing even the pickiest of bosses or travelling partners.

Where are the must-visit places to escape the summer heat in Nanjing? The city retains enough pockets of charm to warrant an exploration into its relaxing and peaceful composing parts. Dotted in the alleys and lanes of Qinhuai and Xuanwu districts, a number of mind-whirring gardens wipe away any memory of city life with serenity and solitude.
