This Chinese city has come a long way from the tragic massacre it suffered at the hands of foreign occupiers. Now, the tables have turned. Nanjing currently occupies a special place in the hearts of many foreigners, as proven by the city's large expat population. This cosmopolitan vibe is well-complemented by a diverse set of attractions that provide both learning and recreation opportunities. Among the most culturally-enriching places, you can visit include the Imperial Examination Museum of China and Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum. Xuanwu Lake and Qinhuai River, on the other hand, offer paddleboat rides and cruises respectively.
